Tullamore café named among Europe's 100 Best Coffee Shops

A Tullamore café has earned international recognition after being named one of Europe's 100 Best Coffee Shops at a prestigious awards ceremony in Brussels.

Conway & Co., the popular specialty coffee roastery and café in the heart of Tullamore, was officially ranked 69th at the Europe's 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala, which took place during the World of Coffee Europe event in Brussels.

The annual awards celebrate the finest cafés across the continent, recognising excellence in coffee quality, customer experience, sustainability and innovation. This year, just nine Irish coffee shops secured a place in the coveted top 100 list, with Conway & Co. flying the flag for Offaly.

The gala brought together coffee professionals from across Europe as part of the World of Coffee Europe exhibition, one of the industry's biggest annual events, celebrating excellence and innovation in specialty coffee.

"Thank you to our amazing team without whom, nothing like this could ever really be close to a reality," wrote the owners of Conway & Co.

"Congrats to the other Irish shops who won a ranking too! In this and the Irish one. Doing the island proud. We have drank coffee in many parts of the world now and continually, Ireland is genuinely doing some of the best!"
