About Third Space
Situated on the cobblestones of Smithfield Square itself, Third Space is a beloved cafe bringing Scandi-inspired comfort to Dublin's northside. Opened by Aussie expats, it roasts its own Imbibe coffee and serves hearty brunch amid minimalist decor and Smithfield's horse statue views. It's the go-to spot for locals fuelling up before Phoenix Park jaunts, embodying Smithfield's hip evolution from warehouses to cool hangs.
What to Expect
Expect flat whites from single-origin beans, massive sausage rolls (veggie options galore), and indulgent bakes like peanut butter cookies or Nutella-stuffed French toast. Brunch menu shines with avocado smash, eggs Benedict, and full Irish breakfasts. Outdoor seats buzz on sunny days, watching Luas trams glide by. Takeaway thrives for park picnics; laptop-friendly inside for remote workers.
Insider Tips
Grab a window seat for people-watching; order the cold brew in summer. Queues form weekends, so beat them with 9am arrival. Pair coffee with Jameson Distillery tour nearby. Vegans rejoice in the spinach rolls. It's cashless, app orders speed things. Locals sneak in for the quiet evening coffee. This isn't just fuel; it's Smithfield's welcoming heartbeat.
