KAPH

The bright Kaph interior with a window bench and red stools, a curved wooden counter of baked goods and backlit shelves of red coffee bags and tins

Chris Keegan opened KAPH on Drury Street in 2013, and it has been a reliable anchor of Dublin's Creative Quarter ever since. The two floor space takes its inspiration from the bohemian cafes of nineteenth century Paris, with a lively counter downstairs and room to settle in above, and a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along.

The focus is specialty coffee done with a sense of humour, built around their own house blend and plenty of friendly conversation with the baristas. Plant based milks are always on hand, and KAPH is a World of Coffee Ambassador, one of only 100 bars, cafes and restaurants in the capital to hold that title.
