Works as advertised but nothing spectacular. I make it a point to stop here before I embark on the Bray-Greystones coastal cliff-walk and tend to get coffee or something to hydrate myself. Their coffee is quite ordinary but I love their hot chocolate — especially on cold days where it’s fun to get one to go and stand by the beach and enjoy the view. To sum up – Finnbees are much better than your average Starbucks, but there isn’t anything extraordinary here. Their staff are lovely and they’re located in Bray where there aren’t many great options.

A fresh breath, nice interior, good lights and spacious floor. If you are lucky enough you can get your cool spot on one of their leather sofas. I got an Americano coffee and its taste was good, smooth, rich in flavour. My friend’s cappuccino was at the first sight too much foamy. In fact after a minute, the bubbled foam disappeared into a flat hot latte. I am happy enough with my americano. Sorry for him :-) I tried a chocolate muffin for the purpose of this review and was flat taste, similar the one you buy in a cheap supermarket. They should improve it, providing better quality food. Place is clean and kept tidy. Once a customer leave the table, member of the staff clean it promptly. I know that working in a busy coffee shop is sometimes stressful, but a smile sometimes, even if fake, might improve the overall of customer experience. Beside the till, coffee bags to buy, ideal also as gift. A must stop for a good coffee while in Bray

Just got a ‘iced latte’ and a mango tango smoothie from here and honestly it was absolutely disgusting. The iced latte consisted of a hastily concocted latte tossed into a plastic cup with 9 cubes of ice thrown in on top. I could barely finish mine and it made me feel ill. Imagine if you left your coffee for an hour and then came back to drink it… Yeah it was pretty vile. The mango tango tasted like lemons. Don’t ask me how there were no lemons in it according to the menu but it was sour, lumpy and horrible. DONOTTRYTHISPLACE!

One thing there is not enough of is late-night coffee shops! I mean i know its not advisable to drink coffee late at night but I need more places to hang out in! 5 star location on the beach and the interior is spacious with a nice assortment of treats. The coffee was pretty decent but the fact that this place opens late and that its right on the beach its gets a solid 4 stars from me. Next time I walk on the beach you can be sure ill have a Finnbees coffee in hand!

I love their coffee and the friendly relaxed attitude of the staff who work here always leads me to enjoy my experience here. Prices are reasonable and there is an array of wraps, sandwiches, cakes, smoothies, snacks, teas and coffees to keep the wolves from the door up until the evening sets in. It has a somewhat mini Starbucks feel to it minus the corporate bullshit and egg mocha nut ridiculous latte offerings around Christmas time. In starbucks small means tall, in finbees a Venti is called an infusion. This is why i come back here, they wont write your name on your coffee cup because they dont ask you your name but the last time i felt justified in giving my name to a professional was to a Guard for running a red light so this is just fine with me!

Great coffee, excellent view. I really like these places. Their range of eatable stuff is great as well…
