About GRAFTON STREET Cafe
Welcome to Bewley’s on Grafton Street, Ireland’s most iconic and historic café. For almost a century, this has been a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike, where great coffee and delicious food are enjoyed in a truly unique setting.
We are proud to roast, grind, bake, craft, pour and serve in this celebrated building, with a mosaic façade and stained glass artworks that are an intrinsic part of the fabric of Dublin.
Bewley’s isn’t just a café – it’s a cultural institution that has helped shape Ireland’s artistic and literary heritage. A hub for artists, writers and musicians from legendary characters such as James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett to contemporary figures like Dermot Kennedy and Bob Geldof.
Enjoy the aromas of freshly roasted coffee and bakery confections, then embrace the chatter and clatter, laughter and warmth that have been synonymous with Bewley’s for generations. You can also take in the buzz of Grafton Street from our outdoor terrace – one of the hottest people watching spots in town.
Planning a visit? We have lots of space for walk-ins and we also take online bookings for up to ten guests. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Our menuS
We take pride in our commitment to quality and sustainability, and everything on our menu is made with the same care and attention to detail that has been our hallmark for over a century. In the mood for a morning coffee & pastry? A hearty breakfast? A long lazy lunch? A late afternoon snack and glass of wine? Whatever you want Bewley’s to be, it’s yours.
Bakery
We have been baking right here in our Grafton Street home since 1927 and everything you enjoy, from sticky buns to bread, croissants to eclairs, is made from scratch in-house every day.
And while the location of the Bakery within the building has changed over the decades, the ethos hasn’t – to create the most delicious baked goods using the very best ingredients. Today you can watch our bakers and patissiers at work in our glass-fronted basement Bakery.

Bewley's To Go
If you don’t have time to linger, there’s always time for a pitstop in our Johnson’s Court takeaway café. Did you know that Bewley’s brought latte art to Ireland? And that our coffee beans are ethically sourced from environmentally responsible growers.
Grab a coffee or tea and perhaps a pastry or cake to go with it. Want to bring a piece of Bewley’s home with you? You’ll find our full range of coffees and teas, as well as accessories and gifts available to shop.

Bewley's Oriental Beauty Loose Tea 250g
My favourite brand of tea is the (Irish Breakfast Tea) particularly first thing in the morning with a slice of fresh toast. I was delighted to discover I could order it online from Bewleys Store, they give an excellent fast delivery service, and supply a large selection of teas and coffee to match everyone’s tastes..
