Owner Luke Creighan told Dublin Live: “On Baggot Street the customers can actually come in, have their green beans and get them roasted in front of them. Customers are amazed by what they see, they can dispense it, bring it over to the coffee roasting machine.
“There’s only one place in the UK that does it and we’re the only place in Ireland that does it. We’re educating the customer about the green beans, the farms, where it's from."
