Jay’s Cafe is a brand-new cafe in Broadstone, Dublin 7. Located a stone’s throw from the Luas stop, this new spot opened early this month. The guys serve Roasted Brown coffee. Tea lovers can sip on teas from Herbal Tisane. Treats include homemade bakes by Colm (Colm, they look delicious) and goodies from Mud Bakery. Jay’s Cafe opens Tuesday-Sunday, 8am-4pm.
Alpro Planquet, a pop-up cafe, dedicated to the power of plants, will open at 57 South William Street this April. Kicking off on April 24th through to April 30th, the cafe will serve breakfast (7am until 10am), lunch (12pm to 2pm) and dinner (4pm until 7pm). I am particularly interested in getting their Alpro Caffé, with Rainforest Alliance Coffee beans. Hit here for more details.
First Draft Coffee is to take over 34 Lennox St. in Portobello next Monday, April 23rd. After the closure of Filmbase in Temple Bar, First Draft Coffee had to take a short break to find a new location. Luckily, coffee fans didn’t have to wait long. Ger is back and soon he and his team will keep working their caffeine-infused magic. Follow First Draft Coffee on Instagram to see what they are up to.
