When I first moved to Dublin 6 there were no Starbucks in close vicinity (the Ranelagh Starbucks had closed a few years previously). About a year ago or more a Starbucks opened in Rathmines which at the time I thought was great. However, it is a very loud open plan style Starbucks and not very conducive to relaxing.
Recently a Starbucks opened in a former restaurant premise on Leeson Street. There is also another one on Waterloo Road which is fairly close to my house and then the one on Harcourt Street is not too far away either!
I timed my walk to the Leeson Street Starbucks (pictured below) this morning. It took exactly 10 minutes.
A further 10 mins takes you to Stephen's Green where, guess what, there is another Starbucks. I call this one the Vampire Starbucks as it is open 24 hrs.
We generally sit outside as we have the dog with us. They have a great heater in the Leeson Street Starbucks where you can can switch it on for 15 minutes to keep you warm - it does the job and we didn't feel the cold on this cold December day this morning!
I have a friend that lives in India - her local Starbucks helps her home sickness...it's a the little things.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you can walk there.
