There’s nothing like the heady scent of freshly ground coffee beans to start the day on the right note.

Now the lucky residents of Clonakilty have a brand new spot to pick up a decent brew.

Stone Valley Coffee Roasters have just opened their new roastery at 35 Ashe Street Clonakilty, transforming a run-down building into a cosy takeaway coffee counter.

“We will be doing all of our production there and also serving really great take away coffees for the locals and the tourists.” co-owner John Boyle, who runs the business with Tom Edwards, told us.

“For so long we’ve wanted a storefront where we can represent our coffees in exactly the way they were meant to be served but it will also give us a great space for training, classes and events in the future.”

As well as an espresso or a latte to-go, you can also pick up a bag of freshly ground coffee to take home.

Serving delicious coffees and assorted treats (try the coffee cake) from Monday to Saturday, Stone Valley Roasters is open from 9am – 3pm.

Worth the stop if you’re passing through.
