And just like that 🥹 our 10th birthday week is over… Looking back at some of our photos of the week, it’s not the balloons or the Golden Tickets that stand out most.

The coffees shared before work.

The familiar faces who have been coming through our doors for years.

The new faces who discovered us for the first time.

The chats across the counter.

The smiles.

If you’ve ever stopped by for a coffee, recommended us to a friend, worked behind one of our bars, or simply made Shoe Lane part of your routine…

Thank you.

Ten years is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to the next ten. 🤍

Ten years ago this week, we opened the doors to a little coffee shop on Tara Street 🥹

We had no idea where it would lead…

Looking back through these photos, we realised they tell the story better than we ever could…

📍 The OG.
Tara Street.

🏗️ The beginning.
Before there was Shoe Lane.

📣 Taking a chance.
Johno handing out flyers outside the shop, hoping people would give us a try.

☕ Finding our feet.
The first signs that people were coming back.

🤎 The people.
Some of the team who helped shape Shoe Lane.

🇧🇷 A moment we’ll never forget.
Lídia tasting our own Brazilian espresso for the first time - “It tastes like home.”

🌊 Dún Laoghaire.
Growing in business, and in family…

☕️ Another leap.
Opening day in Dalkey. First coffees.

🥂
The beginning of another community.

🎨 Starting again.
Burgh Quay on the day we got the keys.

🛠️ Building.
Slowly bringing it to life. Another addition to our family… 👶🏼

✨ Burgh Quay.
Our newest café—and a reminder that every chapter starts somewhere.

Ten years later, we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s been part of the journey. Every customer, every team member, every supplier, every neighbour, every regular who chose to spend a few minutes of their day with us.

Thank you for every coffee, every conversation and every bit of support along the way.

Thank you for being part of the last ten years.

Here’s to the next ten. ❤️

We’d love to hear your favourite Shoe Lane memory from the last ten years.
