Café Rocksalt

Cant wait to be up and running again for some sunny brunches by the beach

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking to a 6th-year business class about my journey with Rocksalt—from starting out in hospitality to growing the business into a team of 90 amazing individuals. It was inspiring to see the curiosity and enthusiasm from the students as we talked about entrepreneurship, leadership, and the challenges of building a business from the ground up. Sharing my story reminded me of how far we’ve come and the importance of encouraging the next generation to dream big and believe in their ideas. A huge thank you to the De La Salle College Dundalk for inviting me, and to the students for their thoughtful questions—it was a real pleasure! To fellow business owners: if you ever get the chance to share your story with young minds, take it. You might just inspire the entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow. #Entrepreneurship #BusinessTalk #Inspiration #HospitalityIndustry

Our new retail coffee is launching soon… here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come..😊😊

What an amazing trip to the origin of our RockSalt coffee in Kenya 🇰🇪 I’ve just returned for an experience of a lifetime, learning the supply chain and going to the source of our fantastic coffee. It was a truly inspiring trip to see the journey our coffee takes before it gets to us and the passionate people who make sure the highest quality is delivered to us. I meet our whole supply chain from the farmers, to the cooperatives, to the buyers of the green beans to the exporters and onto the roasters before it gets to our Baristas. I spent time with independent farmers, speaking to them about the challenges of life and the joys that coffee brings, to the pickers, I spent half a day helping the workers fill sacks from the harvest which was hard work. Then spent time with the coffee buyers and exported understanding the coffee markets and how the stock exchange plays a huge part in coffee prices, along with the intricacies of getting the coffee from the farms across the world to Ireland and the complexity that that brings. It’s was such a great learning and understanding for me that will never leave me. I know now how we can help and support in areas moving forward in the coffee cycle too. The passion is alive….
