It ain't bad, my favourite place is Gloria Jeans but it's not a great place for sitting.

Insomnia just off henry street, near the Marks and Sparks exit of Arnots

I like that place, I used to go there some mornings when I went to DIT on Aungier Street.

Chew'n'Chat in Ranelagh. Reasonably priced and the food's damn good too.

I lunched there today. Good topping but frozen pizza base. Disappointing.

On the sit down coffee front, Insomnia in the IFSC if I can get a nice couch at the window and a free paper.

Metro Cafe on Clarendon St. as Bombidol said.
This place has been going for years, before the big coffee house explosion .. it's v. relaxing and their food is nice and reasonable.

The Joy of Coffee in Temple bar is nice for a coffee too.

Shame Bewleys and the Winding Stair are gone.
