If you're getting sick of your usual café and want to try somewhere new and different for your daily fix, then you need to check out this new spot located on one of the coolest streets in the city.
Raglan opened about a month ago on Drury Street and is an independent clothes store and coffee bar. The shop front it so eye catching that it's impossible to walk past without popping in, the inside is really chilled out and definitely puts you in the mood for a sit down with a coffee. If you're just ordering a coffee to go the service is pretty fast, but if you have more time on your hands you can browse all the clothes, both menswear and womenswear. The whole place has a real surfer-in-the-city vibe and feels like somewhere you might find in Bondi. The clothes are a mix of brands including Billabong, WESC, Nixon and RCVA.
We popped in for a quick take away coffee and tea. The cappuccino was delicious, they use a really nice roast of Ariosa coffee. The mint tea was good quality, loose-leaf tea rather than the limp bags of dust many cafés dish out. We were in a rush but the seating area seemed really chilled and they have WiFi there too so it's somewhere I could return to and work remotely for an hour while enjoying a hot drink. They had some treats like chocolate rice krispie squares, flapjacks and lemon cake on display which I'll have to try the next time.
This place is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a new coffee haunt or some new threads, or both!
The sun was shining, the ribbon was cut, and the tarmac was freshly poured – all was ready to go when I queued up among plenty of eager visitors to be one of the first to try out Emerald Park’s two new roller coasters, Na Fianna Force and The Quest. The two rides are part […]
The problematic portal opened back up on North Earl this week, and although we’re glad to see at least one Dublin project come to fruition (unlike the ones below), it seems everyone is still scratching their heads trying to figure out why exactly we need it. Whether you’re a lover or a hater of the infamous […]

Newly opened up the top of Ranelagh, this high-end bakery is a great addition to Dublin’s blooming bakery scene. Operating on a refreshing level of production and efficiency, we have no doubt that it will set the tone and up the stakes for others. Get prepared to get there early cos they sell out lippy-split […]

Scéal have really come into their stride in their first permanent home. If you’ve been here a while, you know the Lovin team’s borderline obsession with a certain bakery, one you used to only be able to find on a Thursday or Saturday morning at the Fumbally stables, between 10am and 1pm (although they rarely […]
We found ourselves standing in a queue at 11am on a Wednesday morning, so we knew the hype was real. Dublin loves a trend, as we know. Burritos, doughnuts, chicken wangs, small plates – we’re always ready to hop on the hot sauce laden bandwagon, whether it’s for burgers, or dumplings, froyo, or pastel de […]
The definition of a “feel-good” watch. Somewhere Out There You by playwright and screenwriter Nancy Harris premiered as part of Dublin Theatre Festival and is on a 6 week run at the Abbey – I was lucky enough to catch it on Monday evening, and unlike most of the plays that I have had the […]
