Coffee House Lane is a Waterford-based roastery run by the Bergin family, with a founding story tied directly to the location. The name comes from the street in Waterford where Ireland's first coffee house is believed to have operated in 1690, with green coffee traded through the city's then-active port.
The roastery uses that historical anchor as a genuine reference point, roasting to medium-dark on Toper roasters and describing their approach as roasting by sense. The business holds a notable set of certifications: Origin Green Gold, BRC, SCA, Guaranteed Irish, Blas na hEireann, Love Irish Food, and Great Taste accreditation.
It operates as a roastery, wholesaler, and equipment supplier, and has grown into a team of around ten people serving the Irish market. The Bergin family's regional reputation for coffee roasting in the South East of Ireland underpins the brand's positioning.
