Running a little late on a dark, rainy morning in Dublin, I decided to be hung for a sheep instead of a lamb and stopped off for a restorative coffee. The Coffee Drop makes a consistently good brew and the staff are fantastic fun, but don’t tell them I said that. I pushed open the door that never shuts.
