08 Nov2018 Love Being Festive - Christmas has arrived!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Insomnia…

This year our Christmas cups were designed by renowned Irish artist, Fuschia Macaree. Inspired by exciting Christmas activities with family and friends including bringing the Christmas tree home, heading out Christmas shopping and ice-skating with friends. Christmas is the best time of the year for catch ups, days out together and making that extra effort to spend time with the ones you love so make sure you catch up over one of our delicious seasonal coffees to unwind from the festive activities.

As always, we've got a great selection of traditional Christmas goodies and a few surprises on the menu and our amazing new range of Christmas beverages and treats have just landed in our stores! Read on to find out more...
