A new Dublin coffee shop has opened in an old freight container

You can’t beat a recycled shipping container.

We’re BIG coffee people around here (duh) and we’re always looking for unique and innovative ways to get our caffeine fix… well entrepreneur Gordon Hickey has ticked all the boxes with this one.

Gordon is the man behind Container coffee, our latest obsession which has just opened on Thomas Street in Dublin. The coffee shop is housed in a recycled shipping container located on The Digital Hub campus, it’s wheelchair accessible with fully retractable doors and a pretty spectaculear view of St.Patrick’s Tower.

As container’s go…  it’s not the biggest, it can seat around 10 people but it’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a quirky grab-and-go cup of coffee.

It’s open 7 days a week 7.30am to 5pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on Saturdays & Sundays.
