Cloud Picker Cafe

Pearse Street / Dublin 2

A hidden Pearse Street breather for house-roasted coffee, a quieter room, and a retail shelf worth browsing.

Share

Cloud Picker occupies the old projector room at 42 Pearse Street. The cafe has a long, narrow bar, beans and brewing equipment near the till, a few outdoor seats and a quieter area at the back.

Coffee style

Cloud Picker serves its own roasted coffee as espresso, filter and decaf, with a slow bar for hand brews. Stop for a quick flat white or take time over a filter coffee.

Cloud Picker sells beans and brewing equipment and runs Saturday roast-your-own sessions. Pastries and light café food are available, but there is no full brunch menu.

What people go for

Flat whites Slow bar filter Beans for home Pastries and cruffins

Alongside coffee and pastries, the cafe sells beans and brewing equipment. Pearse Street is the city-centre café; the Crumlin roastery has a retail dispensary, and the Dublin Airport counters are for a cup on the way through. Bring a reusable cup or drink in.

The room

The compact room is quieter at the back than on Pearse Street. Seating is limited and fills quickly, so it is better for a short catch-up or read than an afternoon of laptop work.

Why Filter Notes has shortlisted Cloud Picker Cafe

Visit Cloud Picker for house-roasted coffee, filter brews and beans in a tucked-away central location. Seating is limited and the food menu is light.
