About Bodega Coffee
Ah, Bodega Coffee , one of the true pioneers of Dublin's third-wave coffee scene, right here in the heart of Howth Market. As a founding frother (pun intended) of the local coffee movement, Bodega brings its roastery-fresh beans to this bustling harbourside spot. Nestled among the colourful stalls of Howth Market, you'll find that perfect flat white or pour-over amidst the salty sea air and cries of seagulls. It's not just coffee; it's a ritual that locals swear by after a cliff walk or before heading out on the DART.
What to Expect
Expect ethically sourced single-origin beans roasted in-house, with options from Ethiopia's fruity notes to Colombia's chocolatey depths. Their signature AeroPress brews are spot-on, and don't miss the matcha lattes for something different. Pair it with a buttery croissant from a nearby market baker or their house-made flapjacks. The vibe is cool and casual , think wooden counters, exposed brick, and a playlist of indie tunes. Seating is communal, perfect for chatting with fellow Howth adventurers. Open weekends for the market buzz, it's one of the best coffee shops in Howth for that authentic Dublin café culture with an oceanic twist.
Insider Tips
Time your visit for Saturday market mornings when the freshest brews flow and the queue moves quick. Ask for the 'roaster's choice' , baristas here know their craft and will geek out with you. If you're walking the Howth Cliff Path Loop, stash your backpack and grab a takeaway; the insulated cups keep it hot till Martello Tower. Vegans rejoice: oat milk on tap and plant-based pastries. Follow them on Insta for pop-up guest roasts. With views peeking to Ireland's Eye, it's sensory heaven , the aroma of fresh grounds mingling with fish 'n' chips from stalls nearby. A must for coffee pilgrims exploring Howth's vibrant café scene.
