CoffeeFriendly staff
Brilliant specialty coffee shop in the heart of Sligo. The staff are so knowledgeable of all things coffee and can talk you through the varieties they have on sale at the time. Lovely aesthetic in the shop. We pop in every time we're in Sligo.
This is a coffee lover's coffee roaster. Super friendly and enthusiastic lads working here, and the coffee and design are top notch. These guys offer the most interesting coffees I've tried in Eire so far. Rich, complex, and wide-ranging smells and tastes. I love daily coffee, especially those rare, radical, funky roasts. Most high end coffee roasters, tho excellent, are so similar in taste. It's great to encounter exceptionally expressive offerings. I wish I could find coffee like Rover's El Diviso roasts more often.
Spend money here!
Amazingly friendly staff, great coffee and a sexy weber grinder oh my gosh 😍🫠. Only minus was that my coffee was in a paper cup. I always feel like the coffee doesn't get the chance to shine in a paper cup, maybe just preferences.
