Various locations, Dublin
Coffeeangel has served specialty coffee from ten Dublin cafés since 2004, its beans roasted weekly by Bailies in Belfast. It donates five percent of profits to local biodiversity projects.
Best for Specialty coffee across ten Dublin cafés
Coffeeangel has operated in Dublin since 2004, building a ten-café chain around a straightforward supply-chain choice: rather than roasting in-house, its coffee is roasted weekly by Bailies in Belfast and delivered to Dublin within days, so the beans in the cup are rarely more than a week off the roaster. The company treats that short roast-to-cup window, more than any single blend, as its core differentiator.
The chain's newest location opened on Shelbourne Road, adding to nine existing Dublin cafés serving both house blends and rotating single-origin coffees. Coffeeangel also commits five percent of profits to local biodiversity initiatives — a specific, stated percentage rather than a vague sustainability claim — and offers free delivery across Ireland on orders over €35.
Two decades in, the chain's pitch remains narrow and consistent: fresh-roasted coffee delivered fast, from a named external roaster, across a small but growing number of company-run Dublin cafés.

Cork city centre / Fermoy
A specialty coffee roaster established in 2008, sourcing single-origin and estate beans and grading them before roasting. It runs cafes on Barrack Street and the South Mall in Cork city, with the roastery in Fermoy and a subscription and coffee academy online.

Badger & Dodo has roasted in Cork since 2008, and the discipline shows in what it won't buy: every lot has to clear a Q Grading score of 85 or higher before it's allowed near the roaster. That floor rules out filler and leaves a rotating list built from named farms and regions — a Colombia El Tambo, a Brazil Rio Brilhante — rather than anonymous "South American blend" bags.
Where the roastery gets more adventurous is in processing. Its cherry co-fermented Colombian lot is the clearest example: cherries fermented together under controlled conditions before drying, a method the roastery describes as full-on flavour experimentation rather than a safe, traditional washed or natural process. It's the kind of lot aimed at drinkers who already know what they like and are curious what a different fermentation does to a familiar origin.
The coffee reaches customers through two retail shops in Cork city, stalls at the Midleton and Douglas farmers markets, and a subscription program, alongside a coffee academy that turns the roastery's own grading standards into public education rather than trade secrets. A loyalty scheme, BadgerCoin, rewards repeat buyers at a flat rate per euro spent. Multiple 2025 award placements — golds, an honorable mention, a national win — sit alongside a claim of more than 40 years of combined specialty-coffee experience among the team, the kind of institutional memory that a Q-score floor alone doesn't guarantee.
Annacotty Business Park, Limerick
Eleven14 roasts single-origin and blended Arabica coffee from Annacotty, founded by former Munster and Ireland winger Keith Earls after he began roasting at home with a popcorn maker. Its No.11 and No.14 lots are named for his rugby positions.
Best for Eleven14 roasts single-origin and blended Arabica coffee from Annacotty
Eleven14 Coffee started the way a lot of home-roasting hobbies do — with a popcorn maker — except the person doing it was Keith Earls, a former Munster and Ireland rugby winger with a 15-year professional career. He roasted at home before studying technique with established roasteries and eventually launching Eleven14 from a unit in Annacotty Business Park outside Limerick, exclusively Arabica and specialty-grade from the start rather than working up from a lower grade.
The naming carries the rugby career through into the product line: No.11 and No.14, the two positions Earls played across his career, are the names given to the roastery's seasonally rotating single origins, while a separate House Blend runs a steadier Colombia-and-Brazil mix for drinkers who want consistency over rotation. Straight single origins from Brazil and Colombia, plus a decaf Colombia, round out the retail range, alongside a monthly subscription service.
It's a founder story that's unusually traceable — an athlete's actual jersey numbers on the bag, not a marketing invention — and it gives Eleven14 a distinguishing fact most regional Irish roasters don't have: an origin story with named positions on a rugby pitch behind the product names.
