Coffee and chats
Is there anything more fun than getting together with your friends for a pre-Christmas catch-up?
Plan a shopping session at Carrickmines Park with the promise of coffee and a treat to refresh and refuel. Everyone has their favourite spot, whether it’s muffins and mocha at Bakers + Baristas, glazed doughnuts at Krispy Kreme, spiced Christmas coffee at Costa or something more filling at Barry & Browne or Vanilla Pod. The festive lights and tunes will all help put you in the mood for a festive chat.
