Happy Wednesday, folks! It is time for another roundup of caffeinated news from Dublin. From new cafes to events, Dublin’s coffee scene keeps us busy. This week features Oxmantown Cafe Smithfield, Jay’s Cafe and Coffee Culture’s event with barista Daniel Horbat.

New Cafe News – Oxmantown Smithfield, Dublin 7

There is the new kid on the block in Smithfield. Oxmantown Smithfield opened in February just around the corner from the Jameson Distillery. Similar to its bigger sibling in Mary’s Abbey, this independent sandwich and coffee shop serves food freshly prepared in-house every day. The coffee is powered by Cloud Picker, a micro roastery based on Sheriff Street, Dublin 1. The space, though petite, is very bright; it is a perfect spot for a morning pick-me-up or a lunch bite. Oxmantown Smithfield opens Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm.

Our latest addition. Pop in + say hi. ❤ . . #oxmantown #smithfield #d7
