Set in the effervescent cultural hub that is the Latin Quarter of Galway, Coffeewerk + Press is a craft shop and café with a clear objective: ‘to showcase the overlap between Irish and international art and design over the perfect cup of coffee’. This hugely popular neighbourhood store is beloved by all who crave quality design as much as, if not more than, their daily caffeine fix. And the tastefully stocked upstairs shop – brimming with locally made Tweed Project totes, ferm LIVING wire baskets and Arran Street East pottery and anything else you could possibly hope for – is the perfect place to find it.
