Print26 September 2025
McCabe’s Coffee, the speciality roastery based in County Wicklow, is celebrating a prestigious three-star award at this year’s Great Taste Awards.
The accolade was awarded to Blend 15, making it one of Ireland’s most highly recognised coffees of 2025.
The award is the latest milestone in a journey that began in 1997 when founder Clive McCabe set up a small roastery in the family garage.
Growth
Today, under the leadership of Stephen McCabe, the business has grown into a trusted name in Irish speciality coffee.
Each batch is carefully roasted at the Wicklow roastery, ensuring freshness and flavour are delivered to customers nationwide.
Hero products aside from the award-winning Blend 15 include the popular Mocha Java and the Organic Blend, each available through McCabe’s direct-to-consumer online store as well as in a host of hospitality venues.
Coffee lovers can enjoy McCabe’s blends at Zest, Bang Restaurant, Enso, Lolly n Cooks and The Martello, among some 450 others.
Sustainability is central to McCabe’s ethos.
The company sources responsibly grown beans, invests in recyclable packaging and has implemented energy-conscious roasting methods.
Community is also a core focus, with McCabe’s supporting local initiatives and sharing coffee knowledge through education programmes that benefit both customers and growers.
Speaking on the win, managing director Stephen McCabe said: “This recognition means the world to us.
“Our goal has always been to make outstanding coffee more accessible while staying true to our values of quality, care and sustainability.
“The fact that customers can order directly from our roastery in Wicklow and enjoy these blends at home makes the achievement even more rewarding.”
With demand for speciality coffee continuing to rise across Ireland, McCabe’s Coffee is proud to combine award-winning blends with a commitment to craft, community and sustainability.
The three-star accolade is both a celebration of the team’s dedication and a recognition of the growers, customers and partners who make each cup possible.
