Nice brunching coffee shops in Dublin city centre

YumYumYum

Hey, perhaps i am in the wrong place but will post it here nevertheless! Methodical categorisation be damned!

I am looking for a nice place for brunch in Dublin city centre. I am thinking independently owned, high ceilings, lots of natural light/big windows, a nice coffee/scones set-up and, above all, quirky chunes.

The chunes are very important - thinking cheesey euro-trash pop songs which add a kind of surreal i-am-on-holidays vibe. A fleeting moment of escape.

There used to be this place in Cork City, The Ginger Bread house and it had the most random music all of the time; it was be blaring out anything and everything all morning, almost like a morning-disco. It seemed to be open all of the time and was always empty. Oh course, it never made any money, which was its charm!

Nothing starts the day better than a caffine-induced morning-disco - i hope you agree?

Danke,
YumYumYum.

That's pretty specific on the requirements!

You could try Odessa on Dame Court, ticks a good few boxes.

If you were to venture south side either Dilllingers or Cinnamon in Ranelagh do a good brunch although Cinnamon has a lot of families with young kids at the weekend.

Herb Street is one of my favourite brunch places, just beside Grand Canal Theatre. Nice good, prices are ok and food is very nice.

The music thing is a hard one... Try 37 Dawson St, 777 (only from 2pm on Sundays), or look up the Gentlemans Academy Disco Brunch on facebook.

If you can live without the music, then Pepperpot fits everything else.

I love the Foam cafe just off millenium walkway..

Are you German?

Anyway, try the 'Olive Cafe' on Fumbally Lane, just off New Street South.

Or the Fumbally up past Patrick's Catherdral. On the corner of Fumbally Lane. It's worth the journey.

+1 on that, I think, it's the same crowd, that runs the coffee shop in the CoOp market on Newmarket Square.

Sounds like Caffe Noto on Thomas St. Good chunes but not Europop.
