NEW PRODUCTS!!

JUNE
With the price increases for our Biltong and Boerewors, we’ve brought in a NEW!! Biltong option: GLUTEN FREE Pioneer Fatty Biltong.
MARCH
We fortunately have been able to offer our extremely wonderful customers reasonable prices since we’ve opened. There were moments where we should have risen the prices due to obvious increases but felt during the heat of the Pandemic, we understood the situation for many others and just wanted to be a place where you could find some solace.
After much deliberation we regrettably have to raise our prices, for the first time. This is due to numerous factors and we understand the frustration and annoyance. We have been independently funding this family coffee shop and have been so lucky for all the incredible support we have gotten from our visitors and friends, who are the sole reason we have been able to keep a high quality coffee flowing through the village.
Over time you will see the prices changing but we will have more offers when available and continue to make sure your visit is a pleasant one. The coffee we use is a higher quality than normal and we will keep it that way. We will also continue to do our best to ensure we have local producers and supporting other small businesses where possible and respecting their price changes too.
With all that said, please feel free to ask us more about this where we will understand your curiosity and hope to help where we can. Protea Cafe will still operate with as much care as possible and we hope you continue to enjoy your visits with us.
We wish you all the best in all the circumstances we all find ourselves in and hopefully see you soon!

New exciting suppliers are joining the team! Keep an eye open!
Sadly prices have been rising since December and we have tried to slowly introduce new changes, so please take notice of signs in the shop and the prices. We understand this is frustrating but for us to keep supplying you with the best coffee and tastiest treats, we need to keep up with the changes.
Thanks for your understanding!

MARCH 2021
Joining us this March is a local Limerick company, SOScookies, that was set up around December 2020 by a cookie-lover who quickly (not without all the hard work), turned into a cookie sensation. We’re very lucky to be stockists for her and her team.
They have just launched their new website. Learn more about them here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
We want to take this chance to thank absolutely everyone that has made our coffee shop dream start to feel like it is! We are so happy to bring something to the community and are extremely grateful to the incredible people we have met along the way. Bringing people together and also, for us, reuniting old friends.
It has not gone unnoticed what is happening in the world around us, and to still be able to be going on, is a blessing. We have not forgotten other business owners, especially local, who have really been hurt by the Coronavirus, and can only keep working even harder to help keep our community alive.
Please let us extend our deepest and heartfelt wishes to each and everyone of you, that 2021 will be your year!
Let us at least warm your hands and hopefully that will help you with a warmer day. 😉
