Well done to the team in Arc Cafe Bar who have been receiving some excellent reviews on their coffees.
Liffey Champion, June ” Coffee is to die for, creating spider webs on coffee, best coffee around! Great value too.”
www.menupages.ie “ate there recently, work locally but had never visited, great food, welcoming atmosphere – well trained staff who were attentive – manager checked our table – funny and nice – the best part was the coffee – taken to another level – would be back – maybe for dinner next time”
If you havent already been to Arc Cafe Bar it is definitely worth a visit. It is located on the Fonthill Road at Liffey Valley and has 4 levels, floor to ceiling windows flooding the inside with natural light, ceilings made from cut glass and excellent food served on every level.
Venetta who works there is passionate about her coffee and has been perfecting her latte art skills so feel free to ask her for one of her latest creations.
