Dublin is definitely the type of coffee shop to relax and do homework. Good coffee, but the breakfast is okay. I had the avocado toast and it was not very good - It had more garlic than avocado. The service was pretty good except for the mix ups with orders.I would come here again, but maybe just stick with the coffee.

The service is so good! All of the people working there are usually college students, so theyre not your average, kind customer service people who greet you and smile -- I mean they do all of that too -- but its easy and effortless to start a conversation with them, or they will start one with you :). Happens every time I order something. One time me and my boyfriend were having so much fun in line we forgot to ask for our drinks to be made with almond milk instead of regular milk. They are super nice about correcting your order too! :)

Where do I even begin… I went to this cafe just yesterday Wednesday Sep,29th and experienced the worst customer service I think I’ve ever received. I went with a group the cafe was pretty much empty and my drink was made relatively quick. Although they left out two drink orders, The baristas were sitting at a table chatting as my sister went to ask where the drinks were. One snotty barista with short blond/brown hair who didn’t even ring up the orders proceeded to tell her she only ordered one drink which she hadn’t even received as well, going back Nd forth instead of getting up from the chair and looking at the register to see that she was very well in the wrong. I sat there in complete shock watching it all go down but I honestly wasn’t surprised because that same barista had an off vibe once we walked in. Very unprofessional as she showed up with hickeys all over her neck to work and a bad attitude that needed to be left at home. My sister goes there all the time and said that was her first experience like that. But personally that’s enough for me to never return. The one star is for the other apologetic barista Nd the nice aesthetic of the place that’s about it.

They have mastered their espresso flavor! Ordered an iced latte with a splash of lavender syrup and almond milk! Absolutely delicious! Make sure to stop and try their espresso based drinks! If you like Kombucha, they also have a delicious Elderberry Buch on tap right now!

This place is great! We stopped here on the way home from Natural Bridge area, and were glad we did. It is right by the river, and the surrounding buildings and scenery are nice to look at. The interior is well decorated and there are tons of seating options from bar stools to couches. There is even a nice little reading area with a small library. Parking is easy as there is a large lot across the street with free parking on the weekends. Will definitely be coming again when we are in town. Oh yeah, good coffee and good prices too!

I never take the time to do reviews but my experience today calls for one. Very unhappy with the service at this location. The place was rather busy I will admit but I waited for almost 30 mins for 2 (uncomplicated) drinks while all three baristas casually spoke with customers (who were clearly their personal friends) at the counter. Because the employees were distracted, drinks were just placed at the end of the counter with no name called or what the drink was, leaving awaiting customers staring at one another curious who it belonged to. I completely understand speaking with friends who come to see you but not when 15 people are waiting for drinks and you display no hustle in the least. In the interest of protecting my time I won’t return to this place. The two stars is only because it is a nice coffee shop.

Nice place aesthetically.atmispere was a little cold and they promote religion such as having a biblical verse painted on there walls which I dont think is appropriate for a public place of business.which also reflects thier views and the customers they want at thier establishment.

Review №35

The actual shop is so cosy and really does feel a bit like a pub. Their coffee is strong but good. Jefferson street is such a fun place to be on a saturday morning, and Dublin is no exception! They have lots of seating right outside which is a lovely option. The only thing I must note is the shops prices are really high. Even getting just an 8 ounce latte will cost you 4 or 5 something dollars.

Review №44

I LOVE this place. It is by far my favorite place to study. The staff are so friendly and personable. They make me feel like Im part of a family here. If you come repeatedly over time they will make the effort to learn your favorites and get you taken care of. The atmosphere is very home feeling and in my opinion a much better study friendly place than other local shops and Starbucks. The drinks are of incredible quality, the price is fair & balanced and the service is very good. It never gets too crowded, the furniture they use are by far some of the most comfortable Ive ever enjoyed at any cafe shop. This is how you do a local coffee right. I strongly recommended everyone check this place out. Its worth the trip and I think it should be your go to coffee shop.

Dublin has a cozy warm atmosphere with hanging lights and donated come and go library books. I purchased the Chai tea latte and it was one of the best I have ever had. The chai was a warm but mellow taste with a gentle cinnamon sugar topping. I will definitely be visiting again.

This is a perfect place to hang out for events downtown. They have awesome outdoor seating for nice days and plenty of indoor seating. Their coffee is pretty good, but their customer service is excellent! Everyone behind the counter is friendly and quick to help you select a drink if you need suggestions. I only wish the atmosphere was a little brighter like some of the other coffee shops. Its hard to work on projects when the walls and tables are dark and the lights are dim.

Review №58

Sometimes you just want something tasty - I got a mocha frappe, which is basically a coffee with chocolate blended over ice and topped with whipped cream. Simple as that sounds, usually places dont get it right, going too heavy on the sugar, or the ice, or blending it insufficiently so that you have to wait for it to melt.But not this place, they nailed it. It tasted like a cold, properly made hot cocoa - actual cocoa, not super sugary, perfect balance of coffee, and blended so smooth you could drink it through a coffee stir straw.

Review №64

Service is slow. It took OVER 20 minutes to make a latte and there was no line when I went in and only two people sitting down. A couple came in behind me and the one person ordered tea (which I specifically did not order because it takes them at least 20 minutes to make tea as they use a fancy hot plate system, etc they should invest in a tea kettle for faster service, I digress) Anyway the couple got their tea before I got my latte. I was late getting back to work, which is just across the street from the cafe, and I got a call from my boss on my way back wondering where I was, he called me in front of my colleagues. He gave me the stink eye when I got to work and I was embarrassed in front of my colleagues. The slow service is really unacceptable.

I really didnt like this place at first. There wasnt an espresso machine and the staff was v standoffish, not to mention the service was slower than if I had driven all the way home and made my own cup of coffee. BUT the store really turned this around. I love the coffee, the staff is friendly and they got an espresso machine. Its a cozy place with great seating for laptop work or reading books. Definitely try it out!

Not much of a coffee guy myself but I have it on the word of two VERY competent coffe connoisseurs that if its brewed here its high quality products processed by experienced, trained staff on the best equipment. My knowledge rests in tea and their selection is more than satisfactory. Ive also tried most of the foods available and have nothing but positive things to say about Dublin 3. Wonderful coffee shop with fun, kind staff, rustic and comfortable decor, and a menu full of winners.

Review №71

Id say 2.5 stars really. The location is awesome, and the aesthics are just great for a coffee house. It is a bit small but cozy. The back area has a sharing library which is a really warm touch to have for our community. But, the two things that matter the most, customer service and good tasting coffee, are really lacking =( Ive been here 7 times just to give it a fair chance, coming on different days and at different times. The coffee always leaves a funky after taste... like stinky feet funky. I did once ask for a drink to be remade and the result was the same. But the worst part is, every time Ive been in the employees are just so rude. They dont greet people coming in unless they are a friend or co-worker, and they will have long, I mean a line has formed and they dont seem to care long, conversations with each other or the person ordering and to be frank, if youve got a line, you need to get through it ASAP. Its also kind of a bummer that they dont have many, and sometimes no, food options. But I suppose that part isnt necessary for a coffee house? Anyway, hope they will bring in some customer service trainers and get better coffee beans...

So to start off with, Ive been to Dublin several times and the coffee and service has been great! But the service isnt great now. I walked in, there wasnt a line, and I ordered a flat white. Then I wait for 15 minutes for my flat white and in the meantime two other orders are fulfilled! To add insult to injure the coffee left a burnt after taste.

Dublin 3 is definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in Lynchburg. Their drinks are top notch, and the workers are friendly, seem happy, and aim to please. The atmosphere is one of my favorite things about this Coffeehouse. Also, its always clean, which is a plus in my book.

Disappointing pastries yet beautiful and cozy venue, friendly and kind staff, flavorful coffee.I came in Friday evening and got a scone and two drinks. A Peppermint Matcha and a Dirty Chai, both with Oat milk. The drinks were delicious and the staff was great! Sadie and Jacob were very hospitable and attentive. Sadly, the only pastry available was the scone, which was too thick and thus was extremely dry and even raw in the center.Hoping to see better options for such a key product in a coffee shop next time!

Those dang freshman... always getting the nice stuff - the stuff that we, the seniors and alumni, payed for with our tuition and taxes. They don’t know how all we used to have to choose from was rot “coffee” (aka dirty dish water) and the White Hart (which closed for a time during my Liberty years). Nonetheless, I’m jealous. You get to enjoy the amazing atmosphere and rich coffee at Dublin 3 while you study. So soak it in freshmen; you’ll be writing this same review in 4 years anyway.

Good high quality coffee, but also one of the highest priced coffee shops in Lynchburg. I dont think there is a large enough gap between quality to justify the gap in price. Still, their house drip coffee is worth the cost, and you get a free refill. Everything else seems overpriced to me.

Review №95

Only quarter of menu available based on broken CO2 on dispenser on a Friday. One staff member was quite knowledgeable about the products, but the other one did not how to prepare certain orders. For these reasons, I didnt even dare order a food item add it seemed they were ill prepared for business, which is sad on a Friday afternoon with a nearly empty store. The work flow is inefficient in tracking and delivering products once ordered. While this place has its niche, its limited offerings and inefficiencies will keep its volume and appeal low. This is definitely not a unique, required destination.

Slowest experience in my life. I will never come back here. I will say in their defense, there were a handful of people in line in front of us but this wait time was absurd. Three people working behind the counter and it took us 45 minutes to get 2 pour overs and 2 lattes. If it weren’t for the buy one get one free coupons I would have asked for my money back.
