Is there still only 9 starbucks in Dublin

Poxyshamrock

For a while in Dublin every week a new starbucks would be "coming soon" but the starbucks website hasn't shown any new starbucks open in dublin since 2006. Is it still only the 9 Starbucks in Dublin plus the one in Kildare? Or has the starbucks website just stopped updating their website?

Ring 'em. Its quicker than here.

They've had one on Stephens Green listed on the website for almost a year, but doesn't seem to be open yet.

All the ones I know of [in Dublin] are
1. College Green
2. BT2 (Grafton St)
3. Mespil Road
4. Harcourt St
5. Dundrum Town Centre
6. Liffey Valley
7. Borders, Blanchardstown

They now have main street Blackrock (the old post office), and The Green Strand Street, Malahide listed as future outlets. Stephens Green is still listed, maybe it's a concession within an office? I think Vodafone and Microsoft both have Starbucks in their offices.

Nine too many... I hate the way Dublin is starting to look like any other city in the world!

Okay, I'm a grumpy old man...:p

Starbucks have played it fair here so far, unless they takeover one or more of the other coffee chains, or start over-saturating areas I don't have a problem.

In fact, I'm psyched for the one in Blackrock now, that's a nice building for a coffee shop

The franchises aren't worth a ****e. Don't know how they manage it but the stuff they serve up where I work is not the same as the stuff you get in the normal high street stores. Don't know how they manage it becuase I'm pretty sure they use the same ingredients / syrup etc but it ain't the same.

Could not agree more... It's all about the training and proper brewing - both of which go out the door as time goes on... :mad:

They should have the franchises monitored for quality to protect their brand.

Anyhow... back on topic.... Bring on Blackrock

They are opening up in Malahide too. It's a load of pants anyway.

This is the list to look for, it was updated a good while ago, the UK site is really messy and the Irish lists aren't updated.

An Irish times article last month said Starbucks will be opening in Dawson Street in the old Ebookers store and also one in the new Oval building development on Shelbourne Road. They have planning permission in for an outlet in Ranelagh and I believe they have one in Cork airport but that may just be a kiosk.

There's a bit of a starbucks in Limerick. The Cafe in The George Boutique Hotel does Starbucks coffee and Tazo's only...but it's not worth talking about.
No Frapuccinos!

They seem to be ignoring the city's Northside,maybe they see the brand as been to 'upmarket' for this area.

There's one in the basement of the Royal College of Surgeons, all the Americans going there keep the place going-still no ATM, student bar or student shop tho....but obviously expensive coffee's more important.....

Two new Starbucks in Blanchardstown, one outside Leisureplex that just opened and another beside Ben & Jerry's in UCI, right across the road opening on Monday. That makes FOUR in the Blanchardstown Centre!
