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.
