Third Floor Espresso

My favourite spot in town for a coffee. Coffee is great every time, and the lads there are so knowledgeable and friendly.
A great chilled-​out vibe there too.
Recently rebranded as Vice Inc, they also do deals on coffee beans and equipment from time to time.

Really nice place!!! And KULTpour from Germany wrote about it:

Always pop in here for a coffee when ever I’m passing.
The staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to explaining what you are drinking.
You pay a little more, but then again you get a better quality coffee.

A quick update to point out this place is now called Vice Coffee Inc, same people, same coffee, different name.
does great coffee. At € 3 for a double shot small latté, it’s not cheap, but it’s very tasty.
A big factor in this are the beans. 4 cafés in Dublin use these beans to make good coffee: Vice, 3fe, Brother Hubbard and Cup.
None of them are as good as the original though. Vice was here 1^st, and it’s pretty blood good!
As all good coffee should, there’s no coffee rush the instant you taste some, just a mild buzz which lasts for much longer.
The reason this coffee is the best is down to their baristas, who do an excellent job!

BEST COFFEE IN DUBLIN
Firstly upon arrival the smell of caffe aroumas engulf your senses and you float in with ease to a relaxed, laid back style of coffee making, and experience which is refreshing. the boots here are always filled with groups of people from chatting to friends to business meetings. The setting is cool and allows for an informal style of meeting!
The music is low but its very indie, however it deviates which is a great thing, so you really wouldnt know what the next song will be, its low enough to just set a good atmosphere.
The dudes and dudettes who work here… TALENTED!!!
They make thee best coffee I have pretty much ever tasted. Im not normally a sugar taker… and many people who i have brought here are. and they didnt use sugar here and BOOM done deal! Brian, a member of staff that needs to me commended is a legend, he gets to know every regular and non regular customer to the place, sits down with them, really get to know everyone there. His attitude and commitment to the place make me want to stand up and give and applause! LEGEND!!! ill be in later for a free coffee hahaha joking!
The coffee is unreal, they usually have one of 2 types and will offer it to you, also telling you about the background of the coffee, give you a much more intimate feeling towards the coffee. Its roughly 2 – 3 € for a coffee, I am a Machhiatto drinker generally a double shot, which cost i think € 2.50. The way the present it varies but its really ingenious, i love it, on a wooden board. Also the way the green tea, and other teas (all organic not bagged) are presented becomes a conversational piece for everyone who you are with and between yourself and the staff
What is great about Third Floor Espresso is the coffee, staff, free wifi and cool setting! it ticks all my boxes for the perfect coffee shop!

Nooooo… I am terribly upset…
I have been to Third Floor Expresso on a number of occasions and seriously this place had the best coffee I had ever tasted in Ireland. When I have had coffee in Paris, Rome and Madrid on trips away I have always come back home suffering from depression at the lowly Irish coffee standards.
It had been probably about a month since I had been to 3FE for my fix of actual good coffee and was up that direction on my lunch break earlier this week and decided to go for a good oul flat white to take away.
Just to double check I asked how many shots there was as standard.
«2″
“marvellous, do you have non or low fat milk?»
«no, just organic whole milk. There’s not much difference»
There is actually, a big difference. Not a fan of cream or full fat milk in coffee. But I will put up with whole milk for a good flat white. But alas it was a BAD flat white. It was weak, weak, weak… Insomnia’s coffee actually outdid 3FE’s on this occasion…
I am really hoping this was a freak once off that the coffee was sh1t! I will deffo be going back to give it another chance as my good experiences have outweighed the bad. But as a result of this inconsistency I will be averagely scoring these guys on this review.
On a side note to the coffee they have started to do sambos etc. They look amazeballs. Will be deffo giving it a go next time I is in!

Filter coffee powered by the force of gravity FTW!
€ 3. I think it was Kenyan. I know it was delicious.

3FE are trying something new, and it’s so full of win! The Fashion Stage is there each weekend up to Christmas, and has some great clothes and jewellery. The clothes are expecially nice, but if the t-​shirt I picked up is any indication, you might want to try before you buy.
I never realised, but coffee and clothes go together as brilliantly as coffee and chocolate brownies*.
* I mean 3FE and Fashion Stage, this might not be true if you mix Nescafe and Primark.

€ 7 for a coffee?! Are you nuts?
Yes it’s pricey but if you really like your coffee and are up for exploring new flavours and also getting a tutorial on how to recognise and taste the flavours then honestly it’s great value to me.
I hasten to add that not all the coffee in there is that price! It’s called Esmeralda and as the lads in there told me it starts off light in taste but as it cools it gets more complex. If you find coffee heavy then this is a great coffee to try, also they are sold out of yesterday in the take-​away bags of the stuff.
Can’t wait to get another fix today — I was flying all day!
