Imagine: The smell of apples, reheated and mixed with juicy black berries in a sweet breaded cover of a pie. Can you feel it? It’s an apple crumble with a (good) touch of berries. This dessert can be found on Queen of pies, the quaint, sweet cafe that is tucked between the shops along Dame Street, which is like the ‘yellow brick road’ to Trinity College Dublin.
This street leads directly to the college, promising something glorious at the end, and offering treats and intrigue to complement your trip along the way, including an abundance of coffee and tea. And, by the way, for the coffee that a lot of us can’t resist (myself included), there is a Starbucks on this street (and although it’s a chain and not unique to Dublin or Ireland, j thought that would be worth mentioning).

Would you like some tea? It’s always fresh.
Now back to the cafe in question: Queen of pies. And there are two. One is a smaller, more intimate store on the left side of Dame Street (facing Trinity) and then, if you pass this one, moving away from the school, there is a side street (at left) where a larger version of pastry and tea oasis (although this is not an illusion) exists. They serve sweets like pies, chocolate cakes, carrot cakes, and also savory foods like beautifully made sandwiches – even the placement of cheese over lettuce and salami is a work of art. This is definitely a must-see while in Dublin. However, when you venture to this sweet spot fit for kings and queens, be sure to explore other cafes.
Here are some options to think about: Wall and Keogh (please try the matcha bread and one of the organic teas. It’s on Richmond Street), and Peaches KC (they serve coffee, tea, pastries and they have a buffet of savory items like ribs and pasta. It’s on Dame Street).
Off-chain cafes and restaurants are an important part of the city’s charm and should be a part of your study abroad experience. These places are perfect for a quick bite to eat or a casual outing with friends; tea and candy are great additions to long (or even short) chats with others IES Students abroad and the people you will befriend in Ireland. The environment is mild, as most people are stunned by the sweet aromas of vanilla and chocolate, hints of nutmeg (maybe? Although my nose might be a bit haunted), and whiffs of hot mocha, mint tea and freshly ground black coffee. ..it can be very calming.
And for a day to yourself, you can claim a seat, sip coffee or tea, and relax with a good book or a phone call to Grandma. Or you can study in one of these cafes and find that you have been doing it for hours. The atmosphere is peaceful with the two cafes decorated in warm autumn colors. Reds and browns are an intoxicating mixture, reminding a person of the good parts of Little Red Riding Hood — and that, combined with the pleasant smells of baked goods, does wonders for concentration.
And the best part? You can take pastries home with you. And yes, I wanted to pluralize.
