Make it a double shot.
As the working world grinds back to life after the Christmas holidays today, the good news is that most of Cork’s beloved coffee shops are reopening after a small New Year break.
Let’s face it; most of us are going to need a hefty dose of caffeine to get back into the swing of things during the first week in January, might as well make it an expertly-made mocha, macchiato or cortado.
Here are six great spots reopening this week:
