Ebb&Flow Camden

You'll find this compact café perfectly positioned on Camden Street, just the right distance from the tourist chaos of Temple Bar but close enough to the city centre buzz. The coffee here is consistently excellent – they know their beans and aren't afraid to pull a proper shot, which puts them ahead of half the cafés in Dublin 2. The all-day breakfast menu runs until 3pm on weekdays (4pm weekends), which is a godsend when you've had one of those mornings. Their take on brunch classics feels fresh without being overly fussy, and the portions are generous enough to sort you for the afternoon. The space itself is cosy without being cramped, and the staff actually seem to enjoy working there, which always makes a difference to the atmosphere.
