Came here for a bag of coffee, I got their Kenya Mandela and it is absolutely delicious. The latte I got while I was there was perfect. Great flavour from the espresso and perfectly steamed milk. It's so rare to get this level of quality from a cafe, I really can't wait to go back.

Great spot for coffee and brunch. The menu is very similar to the brunch place next door, but I honestly think they do some dishes even better and the coffee is 100% better. Staff is friendly too. Good new addition to the neighborhood.

3fe Phibsborough is one of those gems you might walk past without noticing, but once you step inside, it’s hard not to come back. The coffee here is consistently excellent — rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. The service is equally thoughtful, with staff who seem genuinely invested in making your visit a good one. One of the things I love most is how the food offering is constantly evolving, giving you a reason to return and try something new. This time, I went for the Turkish eggs — perfectly cooked, full of flavour, though for my taste they could have used a touch more salt (easily sorted at the table). On a previous visit, I had the Southern beans, which were equally delicious in their own hearty, comforting way. Whether you’re in for a quick coffee or a leisurely brunch, 3fe Phibsborough delivers a reliably great experience that keeps you curious for what’s next.

One of my favourite cafes. Been here a couple of times already. Hubby and I don't mind the traffic just to eat & have coffee here. It's the closest 3fe cafe near home so yeah. Their brunch menu are delicious and their coffee are always top notch! Staff are always attentive and nice. The cafe is always clean and cosy. And they are pet friendly too! Definitely recommend.

I wanted to give this place a couple of chances before I made a review. My first initial visit was a good while ago and we were ignored when we sat down and the vibe was just awful. Recently decided to give it a go again and really glad that we did. First trip we had pancakes and a cheese and ham toastie with 2 flat whites. Gorgeous coffee, great prompt and friendly service. Good quality food for the money. Decided to go again today and once again awesome service, gorgeous food. The mushroom hash was so tasty and my partner was blown away with the chicken bap. I work in the speciality coffee industry and know it can be tough more days than not. Keep doing what you are doing guys, its working
