More than a coffee shop
Your local hub on Oliver Plunkett Street
Downstairs, enjoy carefully roasted specialty coffee, fresh sandwiches, sweet treats, and a shelf of Irish-made gifts. From pop-up workshops to seasonal evenings, there is always something happening at Spéire.
Local gifts
Hand-picked ceramics, small-batch chocolate, and bags to brew at home — makers from Cork and beyond.
Community events
Cupping nights, maker markets, and quiet Sunday listening sessions. Follow along or host your own.
The café
A warm room for lingering
Inside Spéire you will find a bright, welcoming space with plenty of seating — wood, plants, and the hum of the machine. Whether you are catching up with friends or taking a quiet moment, this is a place to unwind.
We serve specialty coffee, herbal teas, fresh pastries, homemade sweet treats, and wholesome sandwiches made daily. Don’t forget the shelves of Irish-made produce and handmade ceramics.
