Bewley's own five cafés, seven shops and various franchise outlets. Every week they serve about 45,000 customers. More than 200 employees produce a turnover of
10 million Irish pounds. This is generated in the cafés, from the wholesale trade in tea and coffee and from the retail trade which covers products ranging from jams to wine, and of course their famous biscuits. Bewley's, which was founded in 1840, currently has a market share of 63% in Ireland. |

The unique mix of private and public space provided by high ceilings and cloistered booths, in a nostalgic atmosphere of open fires and mahagony. | |||||||||

| For three generations, Bewley's Oriental Cafés have occupied a unique place in the hearts of Dubliners. Actors, poets, students, politicians, connoisseurs and business people, as well as travellers and tourists, passers-by or people who just want to sit and chat – every day they treat themselves to half an hour off and make themselves comfortable on the red velvet seats. |
People go to Bewley's to see and be seen, to relax for a few minutes, and to enjoy the feeling of luxury in surroundings that combine both the private and the public, creating just the right ambience. Bewley's is the Irish answer to the famous cafés which sprang up throughout Europe in the seventeenth century after coffee was introduced. Dublin would simply not be Dublin without Bewley's. |

The Powerscourt Centre, South William Street, in Dublin. This beautiful Georgian-style house was built in 1774. In 1981 it was opened as a shopping centre for fashion, antiques, perfume, art and jewellery. Bewley's was there too – in the background: Franke's Swiss Mambo coffee machines. | |||||||||
