There’s something so special about a neighbourhood café.
It becomes a haven for you to go and nurse a coffee, catch up with friends and tuck into some tasty grub when you need it most.
There’s always a warm, welcoming atmosphere and you come to know everyone that works there, and they know you’re order.
There are some wonderful places over the Southside of the river that you just have to check out for your next coffee break.

9. Thru The Green – Windy Arbour
Ok so this place isn’t exactly a cafe, in fact it’s more a drive thru, hence the name.
A container coffee shop on Dundrum Road that serves up a deadly brew. This is my local and it’s always a winner, especially when the sun is out and there’s a few benches to perch yourself on.
