Changes at Joe's Leeson Street . . .

Folks, we have transferred our staff and business from our Leeson St branch over to our Montague Street branch which is just a five-minute walk away! This merging means our Leeson Street coffee shop will be closed after today (Friday, October 11th).

Please come visit us over on Montague Street, just off Harcourt Street, for your cup of Joe's from THE BARN and our delicious range of hot-deli sandwiches and salads. We are open all week there and have a lovely, bright seating area upstairs . . .

Thanks.

Dublin specialty coffee shop open on Saturdays

Dublin specialty coffee shop Joe’s Coffee is open on Saturdays: our coffee shop on Montague Street, just off Harcourt Street, is open every Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

We do the full range of coffees, using specialty coffee beans from the renowned Barn out of Berlin, as well as teas from Lily’s Teas. To accompany these, we have some of the tastiest, freshly baked pastries in the city, all baked that day so they are as fresh as possible.

As well as those, we do juices and smoothies from our sister company Alchemy Juice Co.

Then, when you’ve had your morning breakfast or brunch, we also do a range of gourmet hot sandwiches which come with your choice of salad.

Our super sourdough sandwiches include:

• Club Med: hummus, olive tapenade, goat's cheese, roasted veg and butter

• MC: turkey, ham, brie, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mayo and butter

• New Yorker: pastrami, caramelised onion, emmental, cocktail sauce and butter

• BGC: brie, cheddar, Durrus and Comté with spring onions and butter.

If you prefer a healthier brunch or lunch option, we also have some really gorgeous salads created for Joe’s by renowned Irish chef Domini Kemp.

These include:

• Caesar Salad

• Nicoise Salad

• Asian Beef Sala

• Asian Salmon Salad

• Vegan Salad
  and

• Korean Chicken Salad.

And finally, we have retail coffee beans from the Barn on sale and all the specialty coffee kit you could need, from world-famous brands such as Chemex, Kalita, Wilfa and many many more.

So drop by any Saturday. We’re off Camden St, at the Stephen’s Green end, just two minutes from the top of Grafton St in Dublin 2.

Thanks.

Keep up with the Joe's Keep Cup

They’re here! The Joe’s reusable cups have arrived in all our specialty coffee shops in Dublin and are on sale now. And we think they look pretty cool. They are also another step on the road towards full sustainability: glass bottles, cutlery, reducing plastic, etc etc. It’s a gradual process but we’re getting there!

You’ll find the Joe’s branded ‘keep cups’ in Joe’s specialty coffee shops in Arnotts on Liffey Street in Dublin 1 and on Leeson Street and on Montague Street in Dublin 2.

And there’s more:

• Our branded cups are good value and cheaper than a standard keep cup. They are made from the same reinforced glass.

• Our branded cups have a removable rubber sleeve (unlike the cork sleeve keep cup) so the glass can go in the dishwasher. Note: the rubber lid and rubber sleeve should be washed by hand in tepid water.

• Our branded cups are 100% Irish. Keep it local.

And you still get your discount, as part of the Conscious Cup campaign, in all Joe’s when using a keep cup, the Joe’s ones or otherwise.

And note that our ‘little sisters’ Alchemy Juice Co and Itsa Cafes also now have their own branded keep cups.

Thanks.

Staff cupping

Staff cupping with the guys from The Barn is the favourite part of our job. We get to savour all the beautiful flavours in their specialty coffees.

This week we welcomed Alex who talked us through all the latest beans from The Barn which we will now have in store for you.

Specialty coffee is a constant learning process and with Ralf and the team from The Barn, we get the best training and refresher courses in everything from selecting farmers and growers to importing beans to roasting them and finally to brewing them for you.

And we love to share too, so if you have any questions, just ask your Joe’s barista . . .

Thanks.

GREEN MACHINE

We are delighted to have completed another step on our sustainable journey! As you know, Joe's has recently joined the Conscious Cup Campaign! We now offer a 10 cent discount to customers who bring their own reusable cups into Joe's.

And now, Joe’s - and our sister companies in the Itsa group, including Alchemy Juice Company - has removed all single-use plastic bottles from our production. For the whole group, this will equate to 1,600 single-use bottles having been removed or 40kg of plastic . . .

We are getting there step by step . . .

SUPER SUMMER SALADS!!!!

With summer here(ish), we have upped our salad game! We now have:
Caesar Salad
Nicoise Salad
Asian Beef Salad
Asian Salmon Salad
Vegan Salad
and
Korean Chicken Salad.
Our salad deal is still on too: salad and and Alchemy Juice Company juice for €9.95!

Perfect if you’re heading to Stephen’s Green, Iveagh Gardens, the Liffey Boardwalk or the nearest greenspace for outdoors lunch!

The good news . . .

Joe's has joined the Conscious Cup Campaign! We offer a 10 cent discount to customers who bring their own reusable cups into Joe's.

‘Globally it is estimated that 500 billion disposable cups are discarded to landfill or incineration every year. That’s one million cups a minute, every hour of every day of every year. These cups are virtually impossible to recycle due to the combination of plastic and paper in their design, and in Ireland we estimate that we dispose of over 22,000 of these non-recyclable cups every hour. ‘

Let’s all do our bit . . .
