About the Vibe
Legit Coffee Co is Dublin 8's answer to a proper Parisian café, thanks to founders Damien and Jamaycon's French-Brazilian roots. You'll find top-tier locally-roasted coffee paired with pastries so good they could fool you into thinking you're in Paris. Skip the tourist traps in Temple Bar and head to Meath Street instead—this is where the locals line up for their sausage rolls and sandwiches.

Dublin 8's Best Coffee and French Pastries
Legit Coffee Co has become a staple in Dublin 8's Liberties quarter since opening in 2016. The café lives up to its name with legitimately excellent coffee sourced from ethically-traded beans and roasted locally. The French-Brazilian heritage of founders Damien and Jamaycon shines through in their menu—particularly the pastries that rival anything you'd find in Paris, and their acclaimed sausage rolls that keep regulars coming back.
The space is welcoming and casual, with friendly staff who clearly take pride in what they serve. While it can get busy during peak hours, the quality of both the coffee and food makes the wait worthwhile. It's not a place for lingering for hours with a laptop, but perfect for grabbing a quick coffee and pastry on the go, or settling in for a proper lunch sandwich. The 4.7 Google rating and consistent positive reviews from locals confirm this is the real deal in Dublin's coffee scene.
