    Maybe they managed to convince more people to give them money.

    This looks like a bit of political fluff/puff/spin but it seems there might be an extra 100 jobs in Uber announced......

    Choice of drinking vessel would be quite far down the list of criteria for a cafe for me. I'd be interested if they do a decent coffee and nice cake, even though cake and cafe are not two things normally associated with each other in Ireland, I know it's more about full Irish, soups and sandwiches. But I'm always a sucker for a good brownie.

    They might also provide plain scones and/or toast.

    It's under completely different mmanagement so I people shouldn't write it off until they have been there.

    I always thought the flaw with their business model was that they tried to be both a daytime and night-time café. I see now that they're going with daytime only and that's great. Hopefully they'll be open to expanding into evenings once they solidify their day time trade.

    Wouldn't they just be back at day and night time trade then? :pac::P

    The point was they were trying to do too much, too soon. In the long run it might be viable to do both though!

    I do quite like the idea of a nighttime cafe, I remember the Manhatten in Dublin, full Irish at 3 am, pissed as a Lord.

    Remember Java's in Limerick? It's amazing how a late night café was viable in the 90's but not now.

    Was only thinking of it, when all this talk of Starbucks kicked off. Has anyone else tried the coffee in the Wild Onion? Really nice.

    Can you remind me where that was? As a UL student of the 90s, I did go there a number of times but just can't place where it was!!:)

    Never been there, I only remember the "food" you used to get in the Queen's nightclub in Ennis at the time. :D

    Java's was on the Thomas street end of Catherine street, as far as I remember it was on the left hand side of the lane leading to Anne Street across the road from where Bourke's pub was operating recently.

    I can recall Tribes in Cork being thronged every night when I was in college in the 90s, Java's was busy enough as well.

    They were not a soulless corporate selling the exact same sh*t as everyone else? They never stood a chance.

    There's a certain sad irony to the fact that Starbucks will be moving into that space pretty soon.

    Ah Javas..spent many an afternoon there. They got left behind imo. Was a lovely building, and started off great, but the food and particularly the service was terrible towards the end..

    Cool place though in its prime.

    It was a nice place and I spent a bit of time in there, it was quite artsy and a little bit but not overly trendy, more grungey I suppose.

    However the grub and the coffee were both quite poor, I'm trying to remember what brand of coffee they served?

    Anyway here's a nice tribute from someone.
