Nick’s Coffee Company

Best coffee in Dublin! Well priced. The taste is perfect, they have amazing service, and it is perfect for a quick coffee, in one of the chairs or taking it to the park :)

I am a fan

Hands down probably the best coffee I've ever tasted in Dublin. Anytime I'm in the area, Nick's Coffee is my go to place.

Very good coffee at a good price.  Having been spoiled with high quality americanos in Seattle for the last several years, I was concerned that I might not find a place that could pull a good shot from the espresso machine properly with a good crema (the lighter colored sweet flavor at the top). Nick's does an amazing job. There's no indoor seating so dress for the elements.

Could not love Nicks any more. The coffee is so reasonable, so delicious, the staff are friendly and very good at dealings with the large crowds that often end up queuing up outside for a cup of coffee at anytime of the day. There is a surprisingly large choice of coffees given the tiny size of the shop itself, and I've never not enjoyed my cup of coffee, or the simple experience down there. Another great perk that they offer is their bags of roasted coffee beans (sweet espresso is fantastic) which you get a free coffee with when you buy two!

Super little coffee bar here and lovely man behind the counter.

I ordered a double macchiato, which was 1.50 EUR and unfortunately all I had was a 50 EUR (silly ATMs) to which Nick didn't have the change for. He offered me the coffee anyway and said to come back in again with the money.

How nice! Complete trust of a stranger by him. Of course I immediately went to the nearest shop to break the fifty and then paid for my coffee a few mins later.

Recommended, I will pop in again next time I'm passing.

Best coffee in Dublin in my opinion! Nice little place with lots of character.

Some of the best coffee in Dublin for a price that can't be beat.  €2 for a small latte or €2.50 for a large is insane given the quality!  The staff is great and the place is always buzzing, if you're in Dublin 6, no reason to get coffee anywhere else.

This little gem is more of a community service than a business!
Great coffee made by friendly interesting people.
Nick is a lovely guy who has brought a lot to Ranelagh by opening his venture.

Officially my favourite coffee in Dublin. My husband and I often drive to Ranelagh before work just to get our coffees there. You might miss the place if you are not looking for it however the queue at the door might be a good hint. The coffee is great, the price is right and the 7th cup is free with the fidelity card.

I signed up for yelp just to post this review, which I admit is a bit too descriptive.

I live in Ranelagh and have been getting my cappuccinos from Nick's before I got my own expresso machine. Even then, I get my ground coffee beans from them, which was what I did this morning. It comes with a complimentary coffee. I asked for a cappuccino.

There were 2 staff/baristas/etc at the counter today. A girl (blond, I believe) and a lad. The lad made the expresso and it was either the girl/the lad who topped up the cup with milk. For whatever reason, one of them made a mess with the milk (can't remember who as I was staring at the road) and the whole cappuccino "exploded", with the coffee/liquid all over the sides of the cup. The lad asked the girl "Shall I make another one?" The girl said "No, it's all right" and hastened to clean up the sides of the cup with a cloth and without asking me, hasten to sprinkle tons of chocolate powder over the top of the cappuccino. She then asked me "Is it all right for you?".

Being a nob at what the above accident can do to ruin a cappuccino. I said "yeah, that's all right". When I walked out of the shed and tasted the coffee, omg. It taste like "shxxe" and trashed the cappuccino.

The lad obviously knew that the cappuccino won't taste its usual best but the girl obviously thought that I am cool with shxxx cappuccinos, which is so not cool.

Just a note: as I said, I like their cappuccinos before I got my coffee machine - they were always part of my perfect Saturday experience. I'm just rating the above incident with ONE star as my Saturday experience on this morning was ruined (I know I sound dramatic, but it's the little things that add up).

I love this place! The coffees are the perfect size for me (though I can see how if you're used to the big chains they might seem a little small), always taste great, and are excellently priced!

The fact that I can get my coffee for €2 right across from my LUAS stop, and support a local business at the same time is brilliant, and this place is a staple of any trip into the city centre.

Double espresso for €1.50 - yes please! Really great coffee and at great prices. Great welcome addition to Ranelagh.

Superb flat white, and the flapjacks are delicious. The raspberry brownie is a winner too and is usually gone by the time I get there. Great coffee at a great price. Nice gang running the show. Free coffee for 65+

Grabbed a large cappuccino earlier today, first time, and it was absolutely spot on! Proper coffee to milk ratio and price was very right too..I'll be back! My local is 3fe I rate it high (#1) tho expensive for a small cup it's good to sit down and relax. Nick's is handy for coffee on the go or coffee for the park as there's not much of a sit down area but non the less very impressed! Will be back! It's my #2!

I love Nick.
I don't know Nick, but I love Nick. I've only been here twice (so far), but each time I've stumbled upon him when I most needed a wee pick me up, and picked me up he did (in a hot beverage sort of way.)
Friday night was cultural night, and I asked him if he did Hot chocolates.
I had my choice between Equadorian Dark chocolate, or Madagascan Milk.
I went for the Dark chocolate, and it was probably the best I have ever had. Absolutely perfect. He was the loveliest, and after sprinkling a little on top for good measure-- he said that he'd decided to do a special deal on account of it being cuture night, and this large cup of heavenly goodness would cost but a trifling €2. Legend.

Happened upon here the other day when I was exploring Ranelagh. Cute little Kiosk beside the Superquinn. I ordered the flat white and thought it had great flavor and was reasonably priced. This place is a must if you are in the area and prefer to steer clear of chain cafes.

22/7/2014

Only been once. Said to the lad working I hear you have great coffee I have come to try it. He said ok as its your first time your coffee is free. In my top 5 coffee's (had a flat white) in Dublin this year. I will be back. Well done Nick.

This is a great little spot to get your coffee in the morning on the way into Ranelagh. The coffee is delicious and the price is right! I love this little place.

Good things do come in small packages.  Nick's is just a tiny little kiosk, but serve a great cappuccino.

Very friendly staff and a great addition to the Ranelagh community.

This is the type of place that after you try it, it's hard not to stop in every time you pass.

• First to Review

This coffee outlet is very neatly positioned beside the main entrance to Ranelagh Village Market. Like the Italian eatery 'Pinocchio' situated directly opposite, the premises are nothing more than a booth, just like you find many drinks or confectionary booths beside or opposite other Luas or train stations/ and or (in this instance) Ranelagh Village Market.

Akin to if you were buying a cinema ticket or something similar, you purchase your hot drink of choice through a Perspex screen with a small opening where your money and drinks are passed through. This is certainly ostensibly speaking, an uncongenial mode of customer service but I can understand that in the context of a small company, the floorspace of which doesn't extend beyond the size of a cubicle, being so exposed to the goings and comings of the main road does justify these safety measures being in place.

Nick of 'Nick's Coffee Company' is an absolute delight. It is a pleasure to be served by such a pleasant and polite man. As this is his own business he takes pride in his products ensuring you get served a delectable coffee or hot chocolate (all of excellent quality) of your choosing.
