Free Coffee Day Tuesday in Dublin

uck51js9zml2yt

In response to yet another Starbucks opening in Dublin (50 in total), a number of independent Coffee shops are giving away a free coffee on Tuesday 5th September at specific times.
The purpose: (much like Col O'Neill in Stargate) to say "we are here now!"
Link here to list of shops.

On a personal note: Starbucks coffee is like dishwater:)

While you are 100% on Starbucks being horrific coffee, I did like the new blend they had recently. Very very nice.

Seems they knew nothing of it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was all horse****, wouldn't be the first time LovinDublin have talked out their hoop

Oh wow! Bad form Lovin Dublin. I'm happy to pay because it's where I go but I won't trust Lovin Dublin anymore...

Thanks

From comments on lovindublin, it seems Metro cafe knew nothing of this and don't know why they are on any list.

Yep an awful resource for info on Dublin.

I wonder what list both sites are working from if the two above aren't part of this promotion!

Lovin' Dublin has been an abortion of a website for years. Absolute shower of eejits.

I saw it on the Irish Times website last night

Weird, was just reading it there.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/dublin-cafes-to-give-away-coffees-in-starbucks-protest-1.3209383

Only mentions The Clockwork Door as well as...

Coffee shops and cafes handing out free coffee on Tuesday include Foam Cafe on Strand Street (1-2pm), CoCo Brew in Temple Bar (8-11am) and Gallagher & Co on D’Olier Street (1-2pm and 5-7pm).

Pity theres none near me, I would be donating the cost of the coffee to them anyway, anything to go against those vacuous p1ss merchants

vicwatson

Total mess, I'm just going to Starbucks. Less hassle :P

2smiggy

not from Dublin, and only go there the odd time, but 50 starbucks ?!?! Never thought there would be close to that many !

sergiotheonly

Seems a whole load of these cafes aren't involved in the promotion, only The Clockwork Door confirmed. Bit of a snafu!

uck51js9zml2yt

The link I provided earlier isnt working any more!!

Great Thread!

Particularly in light of a certain franchise which I won't name establishing a store in South Dublin. Good Food and Coffee, and good friendly staff too - to begin with.

...Cue 2 years down the road with the same store ...same quality food. The staff though - scripted and virtually process driven automaton service.

98fm seemed to have removed the list too.

Wonder who started that rumour!?!

The same radio station was responsible for running "Best Dublin Bus Driver Competition" a few months ago.
At time I had a conversation on a Dublin Bus journey with a veteran Dublin Bus driver who was driving. When I told him about the competition he said it was the first thing he heard about the competition.
Now I know some buses had the poster studded wit the 98fm notice with blood red background mind you advertising the competition.

They obviously can't count either since the URL mentions "17 Independent Coffee Shops" but there's 18 on the list.

98fm gave it a verbal speel this morning, that's how I heard about it. They said the list was on their website.

Remember to rate this thread as EXCELLENT.

Unless you're a Starbucks fan then rate it as Terrible

Just sayin' ;D
