    Merrion Square can be quiet enough too.

    In the tea garden place, is it properly relaxing or are you being constantly pestered by the gazes from those that (perhaps) go there to be seen and remarked upon?

    Thats for a pot of tea (which you can share) and you can sit and not be hassle by anyone for easily 90 mins.

    It is made up of separate areas which are screened off from each other so no it's not full of people who go to gawk at other people who are there.

    As much as I hate to say this, Starbucks is always great for being left alone. Grab a coffee and sit for ages having a gossip. The one in CHQ is always very quiet, the staff are lovely and you won't be bothered.

    Marks and Spencers on Grafton St have a roof top garden cafe/restaurant. I haven't been up, but I'd say it's so lovely if you can get a seat by the edge.

    I usually get some coffee in Insomnia on Grafton Street and then go up to Stephen's Green and sit in the park for a bit, weather permitting of course!

    The Tea Room on Berkeley Street is nice quiet spot where we normally stop for about an hour on the way home from town for a chat and always wonder where the time goes. A pot costs €4 and you get a good few cups out of it and a few biscuits, can't complain with that. Staff are always lovely in there as well and are very helpful especially if all you've ever drank is Lyons before!
