About Clement and Pekoe
Clement and Pekoe elevates Rathmines to tea and coffee nirvana, a sophisticated pick among top Rathmines cafes. On Lower Rathmines Road amid the neighbourhood's chic boutiques and close to Ranelagh's buzz, this elegant spot blends Japanese precision with Irish hospitality. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood light onto marble counters, where rare teas steep alongside punchy espressos. It's my go-to for refined refuelling before theatre at nearby Grand Canal.
What to Expect
World-class teas , sencha, oolongs , matched by single-estate coffees. Light bites: matcha waffles, charcuterie, patisseries from top bakers. Ambiance is serene, with plush seating for lingering over newspapers or laptops.
