Caffè Nero, the highly regarded master coffee roaster and European coffee house, opened its first store in Ireland on 13 March 2014.
Nestled on the corner of St. Stephen’s Green and the corporate cosmopolitan district of Dublin’s Merrion Row, Caffè Nero offers premium award-winning Italian coffee blended and roasted in an old world style, a warm and authentic coffee house atmosphere, and freshly-made artisan food.
€20million investment
The launch into Dublin represents an investment of €20million into the Irish economy over the course of the next 5 years, creating a total of 320 jobs and as many as 40 outlets.
Speaking about the opening of the Merrion Row store, Gerry Ford, Chairman and founder of Caffè Nero said: “We are delighted to be introducing Caffè Nero and the entire Caffè Nero experience to Dublin coffee drinkers for the very first time. Our premises on Merrion Row allows us to begin the journey of sharing our award-winning blends and the hours of craftsmanship that go into each cup, with coffee lovers at the centre of this beautiful city. We plan to introduce further Caffè Nero coffee houses to Ireland over time.”
Along with serving its handcrafted coffee, Caffè Nero aims to bring a European coffee house atmosphere and cosy neighbourhood gathering spot for locals, including local residents, the surrounding workforce and tourists alike.
Caffè Nero is an independent, family-owned and founder-run business with a strong reputation for quality and service.
