About the Vibe
This former painting and decorating shop has been reborn as Portobello’s coolest tea room, where owner Oliver T. Cunningham curates everything from the music to the blends. Big glass jars display pungent organic loose leaf teas that take 3–15 minutes to brew properly—perfect for slowing down with a game of chess or just vibing to Oliver’s own mixes. Skip the tourist traps and come here for the real Dublin tea experience, homemade cakes like rocky road and lemon slice, and surprisingly good sushi when you need a lunch upgrade.

Portobello’s Chill Tea Sanctuary
Wall & Keogh is one of those places that feels like a secret the locals have been guarding for years. The space itself is a love letter to Portobello’s quirky charm—think mismatched furniture, big glass jars of loose leaf tea, and a soundtrack curated by owner Oliver T. Cunningham himself. You’ll find yourself lingering over a pot of tea that takes 15 minutes to brew properly, which in Dublin time is basically an invitation to stay awhile.
The food is simple but done well: rock-solid homemade cakes like rocky road and lemon slice, plus surprisingly decent sushi if you need something more substantial than a pastry. Service is friendly without being pushy, and there’s a real sense that they’re not trying to rush you out the door. In a city full of coffee shops trying to be the next big thing, this place just feels like it belongs here—rooted, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming.
