Whether you prefer to enjoy your coffee with a cake or a splash of Whiskey, January is a great time to explore the coffee shops in your area.
January 25th is Irish Coffee day which celebrates the creation of the world-famous beverage, originally created to warm up travellers arriving by seaplane at Foynes in the 1940s.

For those of you with a sweeter tooth, January 27th is National Chocolate Cake Day, so if you haven’t over indulged after Christmas or are looking for a break from your strict “New Year, New Me” regime, why not enjoy a coffee and cake at one of these local coffee shops across Dublin 24
