About the Vibe
Proper Order Coffee Co is your go-to for a serious coffee fix just off Smithfield, where multi-award-winning barista Niall Wynn keeps the espresso machine hot and the beans rotating through top roasters like Square Mile. The space is snug with white brick walls and wooden tables, perfect for a quick morning grab or a relaxed sit-down with their freshly baked pastries from Scéal Bakery—especially if you catch them Thursday through Saturday when the morning buns are at their flaky, cinnamon-swirl best.

Solid coffee, great pastries, local favourite
Proper Order Coffee Co has quietly become a staple for Dublin’s coffee-savvy crowd, especially those who know that a good morning starts with a properly pulled espresso. Located just off Smithfield in a narrow space with white brick and wooden tables, it’s the kind of spot where you can grab a flat white and a morning bun before 9am and actually find a seat. The pastries, baked fresh by Scéal Bakery on select days, are the real draw—cruffins, pains au chocolat, and that addictive morning bun that you’ll want to unroll and tear apart like it’s your job.
What sets it apart is the attention to detail: Niall Wynn’s barista expertise means the coffee is consistently excellent, and they rotate beans from top European roasters, mostly Square Mile. It’s not a destination for lingering over laptop work for hours, but for a quality caffeine fix with something sweet to match, it’s hard to beat in the city centre. If you’re in the area before work or on a weekend catch-up, this is your spot.
