Garrison Coffee Co. Named One of Ireland's Top 20 Coffee Shops for 2026

We're delighted to announce that Garrison Coffee Co, Athlone one of the venues we manage here at MK Hospitality has been recognised as one of the Best Coffee Shops in Ireland for 2026, breaking into the national Top 20 for the first time.

This marks the second consecutive year Garrison has featured on the list, but this year's placement represents a significant step forward. To be counted among the top twenty specialty coffee destinations in the country is a genuine milestone and one that reflects the standard of operation the team has built and maintained since opening.

Managing Director Jamie King is clear about where the credit lies. "This recognition belongs to the team, full stop. They show up every single shift and deliver on what Garrison stands for Quality, Hospitality, and People. Awards like this don't happen without people who genuinely care about what they do, and this one is theirs."

That consistency is further supported by an exceptional network of supply partners from house roaster Cloud Picker Coffee to a rotating programme of guest roasters, and producers including SISU, Alchemy Productions, Solas Desserts, Two More, Biasol, and Moobia.

At MK Hospitality, we're proud to support venues that operate at this standard. Garrison Coffee Co. is a benchmark for what independent specialty coffee can look like in Ireland and this recognition is thoroughly deserved.
