Cosy Dublin Cafe / Considered by Helen James

There’s a new cafe on the block and I’m smitten with its utter cosiness! It’s called Considered and it’s taken up residence in a little spot in the Creative Quarter on Drury Street. I’ve been twice in the last few weeks and so far it’s been the perfect spot for sharing chats over hot chocolates with friends on winter afternoons.

Considered is both a cafe and a product line by designer Helen James. So you can buy her products in select Dunnes stores around the country, as well as in the Considered cafe on Drury Street. Helen has designed a really lovely (and reasonably priced) line of kitchen goods, like marble rolling pins and pottery canisters, aprons, tea towels, jams and sauces.

The cafe has a selection of soups and hot and cold sandwiches, lots of treats baked in house daily, and some pretty yummy hot chocolate. It’s not very large, just one big table and some bar stools looking out the window, but if you can nab a seat it’s really pleasant. Kind of exactly how you’d want your own kitchen to feel at home. Some day. 

The cafe uses the little sugar and creamer sets from the Considered range, which is a sweet touch. There are bits of grey and pink everywhere, which is quite peaceful. The bar stools are a super place to people watch, as well. You can practically wave to the girls in the Irish Design Shop from your perch! 

It’s well worth a visit if you need a place to warm up in Dublin!
