About Brother Hubbard Capel St
Just a hop from Smithfield Square on Capel Street, Brother Hubbard Capel St is a brunch powerhouse and top pick for specialty coffee in the Smithfield area. Brothers Gary and Cormac bring Middle Eastern flair to Dublin 7 with shakshuka bubbling in cast-iron skillets and fluffy pancakes drowned in maple syrup. Their coffee, sourced from top roasters, shines in nutty macchiatos or iced options on balmy days , the crema alone is Instagram gold.
The space hums with chatter, clinking cutlery, and the sizzle of halloumi; mismatched furniture and plants create a homey Scandi-Irish fusion. Pastries like tahini babka or brown bread are addictive starters.
What to Expect
Exceptional coffee alongside all-day brunch: ricotta hotcakes, baked eggs, salads. Vegetarian heaven, with meats rare but quality. Queues form weekends, but worth it.
