Meet the Staff – Louise ✨

Saving the best until last… my mammy, Louise ❤️

While many of you will know her from seeing her helping out on the floor or lending a hand in the kitchen, what you might not see is everything she does behind the scenes. From the day-to-day support, advice, and encouragement to stepping in whenever and wherever she’s needed, she’s been a huge part of making this business what it is today.

Running a business is never a one-person job, and honestly, I couldn’t do it without her. She has been there every step of the way, helping me navigate the highs and lows, always willing to roll up her sleeves and get stuck in, no matter how busy she is.

What’s even more incredible is that alongside helping here, she also runs her own successful business, Carlow Laser and Skin Clinic. Somehow she manages to juggle it all while still being there whenever we need her.

I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without her support, guidance, and hard work. This post is simply to say thank you for everything you do, both seen and unseen. We appreciate you more than words can say. Thank you Mam❤️

After spending ages making sure every single member of the Brew Stop team got their own moment in the spotlight, it’s finally time for the person behind it all to have hers. And somehow, I (Saidhbh) was nominated to write this one… no pressure 😅

Meet the owner of Brew Stop Danielle, my cousin, our boss, and probably the hardest working person I know. At only 23, she took a dream, poured her heart and soul into it, and turned it into something incredible. In just over a year of opening, Brew Stop has already won awards and continues to exceed anything she ever imagined.

The amount of dedication she gives to this business is something everyone around her sees every single day. Early mornings, long days, problem-solving, and making sure every little detail is perfect all while she does it with so much passion and determination.

She is not only the best boss but genuinely a best friend to everyone on the team. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, valued, and supported, while still making sure we all give our very best. She is patient, understanding, and always there when someone needs her (even if she’s probably running around with a hundred things to do).

A little warning for anyone entering the staff office… do NOT leave boxes lying around. There is a very high chance she will trip over them while carrying her lunch. And in true dedication to food fashion, she won’t sacrifice the lunch to save herself and the lunch will somehow come out completely unscathed while she’s left with a lovely big bruise 🤣

From all of us at Brew Stop, thank you for everything you do. The success of this place is a reflection of your hard work, kindness, and the amazing environment you’ve created for all of us. We couldn’t ask for a better boss.

Thank You Danielle ❤️

MEET THE STAFF ✨

Next up is Conor! ☕️💪

Honestly, Conor is one of the best chaps you’ll ever meet. The effort, dedication and pride he puts into his work never goes unnoticed, and we’re incredibly lucky to have him as part of the team.

As the only lad working on the floor alongside all us girls, I do feel sorry for him sometimes having to listen to the constant chatting and the odd bit of gossip… but if we’re being honest, I think he likes it more than us!

Conor is our main barista, and for good reason. The coffees he makes are genuinely unbelievable, and you can see the passion and care he puts into every single cup. There was a stage where if any of us tried to jump on the coffee machine to help out, Conor would somehow appear out of nowhere and politely (or not so politely 🤣) move us aside. At this stage, we’re all aware that it’s not our coffee machine… it’s Conor’s.

When he’s not behind the coffee machine creating works of art, you’ll find him putting in a massive shift on the football pitch for Clonmore❤️💚

Conor, thank you for everything you do. Your hard work, reliability, sense of humour and dedication to the café mean so much. We’re lucky to have you on the team, even if we have accepted that we’ll never be allowed near your coffee machine again! ☕️😂❤️

MEET THE STAFF ✨

This is Niamh! 💛

Niamh has been with us from day one, and honestly, I don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s always on time (except for the time she thought she was in at 10 but it was actually 9 and was in the middle of frying eggs at home and had to abandon them! I say John Roche was delighted when he seen some eggs fried up for him🤣) , always smiling, and somehow manages to make everyone around her smile too. No matter what shift she’s on, she gives 100% and puts so much care and effort into everything she does.

She’s just finished her Leaving Cert, so we want to say a massive congratulations to her! 🎉 We’re all so proud of how hard she’s worked both in and out of the café.

And when she’s not busy serving coffees and looking after our customers, she’s flat out on the family farm milking cows. At this stage, we’re not entirely sure if she’s a barista who farms or a farmer who occasionally makes coffee! 🐄☕😂

Thank you, Niamh, for all your hard work, dedication, and positivity. We really appreciate everything you do, and we’re lucky to have you as part of the team. ❤️

MEET THE STAFF🫶🏻

This is Faye!

Yes another cousin, our açai artist, and apparently my biggest fan because she travels all the way from Arklow to work at Brew Stop. We tell ourselves it’s for the job, but really it’s because she gets to work with her favourite cousin🫣

Faye is actually one of our newest team members. She started off helping out every now and again whenever I was stuck for staff, but she was so good that I had no choice but to offer her a part-time job. And thankfully, she said yes!

If you’ve ever ordered one of our açai bowls and thought, “That looks too pretty to eat,” chances are Faye made it. Her attention to detail and creativity are unreal, and she somehow manages to turn fruit and granola into a masterpiece every time.

Her smile lifts up the place and we are delighted to have her here at Brew Stop! Thank you for everything you do for us Faye❤️

MEET THE STAFF☕️

This is Chloe 🫶🏻

Or as Dermot calls her… Boss Baby 👶🏼

Now this one might be a bit longer than the rest……

This is my little sister Chloe, and if you’ve ever been into Brew Stop, you’ve probably seen her helping out somewhere.

At just 16 years old, she’s become my right-hand woman. If I’m short-staffed, sick, stressed, or completely run off my feet, Chloe is usually the first person I call. I’ve even pulled her out of school but it’s Transition Year so it’s allowed…

Now, if I’m being completely honest, she’s probably the one I give out to the most. Not because she deserves it, but because when you’re running a café and trying to juggle a hundred things at once, sometimes the stress lands on the person closest to you. And unfortunately for Chloe, that’s usually her!

We probably argue more than anyone else in the café, but that’s only because she cares about Brew Stop as much as I do. She takes pride in the place, wants everything done right, and isn’t afraid to tell people what needs doing. In fact, I think the chefs are more scared of her than they are of me! 😂 Dermot started calling her Boss Baby and the name has stuck ever since.

All jokes aside, Chloe is one of the most trustworthy, hardworking and reliable people I know. For someone who’s only 16, she has an incredible work ethic and a maturity beyond her years. I’m so proud of everything she does for Brew Stop and even prouder of the young woman she’s becoming. I’m so lucky to have her as not just my sister but my best friend and how blessed I am to have her with me through the good and bad days in work🫶🏻

So thank you Chloe! ❤️

The café genuinely wouldn’t be the same without you ❤️☕️

MEET THE STAFF🫶🏻

This is Amber ✨

One of our full-time superstars! Amber keeps everyone smiling (especially herself ) because she somehow finds the funny side of absolutely everything. Her laugh is completely contagious, her friendly personality makes every customer feel welcome, and she’s always ready to go above and beyond.

We’re lucky to have her on the team! ❤️Amber

Meet The Staff☕️

This is Aoibhe ✨

Our newest team member, but already an absolute superstar! 🌟

Aoibhe is one of the hardest workers you’ll ever meet. She’s incredibly fast, always on the go, and there’s no stopping her once she gets started! Her attention to detail is second to none, and I can always rely on her to get every job done perfectly.

We’re so lucky to have her on the team, and we can’t wait for you all to meet her! 💛Aoibhe

Meet the Staff ✨

This is Keeva!

My cousin and also Saidhbh’s sister, part-time team member, and one of the hardest workers you’ll come across.

When she’s not here, she’s studying Sociology & Social Policy at UCD, somehow balancing studying, partying and working here with us!

Keeva is incredibly efficient, and a complete perfectionist when it comes to the coffee machine. Every coffee has to be just right — which means you’re in good hands if she’s behind the counter. ☕️

Being my cousin, I could say all of this is biased, but honestly she’s earned her reputation through hard work, attention to detail, and never settling for “ah sure that’ll do.”

We’re lucky to have her on the team. Keeva❤️

MEET THE STAFF ☕️

This is Saidhbh.

She’s my cousin, my right-hand woman, and the person I make sure is on the roster whenever I can’t be here.

While studying Neuroscience at UCD, she somehow still finds time to work part-time in the café and keep the place running better than the rest of us.

She’s hardworking, brilliant with customers, and always willing to help out.

She’s also a little bit deaf, so if she ignores you, don’t take it personally… there’s a good chance she genuinely didn’t hear you!😂

In all seriousness, we’d be lost without her. Thanks for everything you do, Saidhbh ❤️
