Bewley's has announced that it will begin a phased reopening of its café on Dublin's Grafton Street on or before August 27.
The company plans to start selling coffee and baked goods at the café on August 27, or earlier if possible, ahead of a wider reopening later.
Bewley's stated that, upon reopening, the café will be staffed by "experienced hands from amongst the original team".
"Delighted"
The Irish Times quotes the café's managing director, Cól Campbell, as saying, "We're conscious of the role that Bewley's plays in the hearts of visitors and Dubliners, and we're delighted once again to play our part in bringing Dublin's city centre back to life
"We're thrilled that the team who made Bewley's such a wonderful place will once again bring the Bewley's experience alive with customers, albeit on a phased basis initially.
"Further areas of the café will be opened in the weeks ahead in line with customer demand. We have no further details to share now, but full details will be unveiled in the coming weeks."
