We have compiled the ultimate coffee map of Ireland – featuring a coffee per county, gleaned by our own well-trodden experience and user reviews, it doesn’t get better than this.
Brace yourselves… and get ready to argue.
Antrim – Established, Cathedral Quarter
We included Established in our reasons to visit Belfast because they serve delish 3fe coffee and unreal food. So worth a visit.
Armagh – Time Out Café, Markethill
A cute, cosy and friendly spot where the coffee is good – but the treats are, dare we say, even better.
Carlow – Be Nice, Carlow Town
This place is probably the best around serving coffee made by friendly baristas using Matthew Algie coffee.
YES.
Cavan – Delish Cafe, Cavan Town
Slim pickings in Co Cavan but Delish stole our hearts. This place does a solid cappuccino in a pretty cool town.
Clare – The Burren Perfumery, Carron
One of the most beautiful places on planet earth, these guys do killer coffee. Perfect for after a long hike through The Burren.
Grab mammy a bottle of perfume while you’re there. G’wan.

These guys are absolute experts. To them, and us, coffee is art and they’ve nailed it perfectly.

Gwan.
Derry – Legenderry Warehouse No1
Legenderry coffee. I see what they did there. Heh.
