The pandemic has obviously been difficult for many reasons but one ripple effect has been the impact it's had on the environment, and the ways in which we practice sustainability.
Single-use everything became the norm - masks, gloves, anti bac wipes and so on, and many of our favourite cafes made the decision to stop the use of reusable cups in an attempt to avoid cross contamination. It was fair enough, we were all trying to stop the spread however we could.
But now many cafes are finding a way to place your all important morning brew into your reusable cup without actually touching it, and we're delighted to see Meet Me in the Morning on Pleasants Street is one of them.

We love to see it! We can continue to do our bit to limit our single-use consumption, and all we have to do is make sure our cup is clean. A very fair trade off.

Unheard of in this economy. In an age where alternative milks, extra shots and syrup pumps can see the cost of your daily coffee skyrocket well up above a fiver, one Dublin café is pledging to keep their prices as low as the probability of you sticking to your hastily pledged new years resolutions. A […]
Flat whites and flankers, the combo that just makes sense. In the past year or so, the scaffolding has been cleared and we’ve seen a number of businesses setting up camp at the location formerly known as Central Bank, from global conglomerates Krispy Kreme to Irish up-and-comers Griolladh. While you’re no longer likely to encounter […]
