The stars are going out

8 - July - 2008

Reality is having it tough lately, be it Dalek invasions or backwards temporal ripples from the CERN LHC test next month, but the worst disturbance of all, is the disturbing of my reality caused by another coffee shop closure in Belfast.

According to this blog post Espresso Soul in Belfast, has ceased to trade. I’m not sure of the details but I can say that Espresso Soul offered some of the best coffee in Belfast and the only reason there is no review here is that their coffee was so good I only drank espresso, poured from their beautiful lever machine, they will be missed.

Regardless of Espresso Soul’s situation, it is very increasingly hard to operate any sort of business based on quality and passion rather than quantity and making a fast buck.

    Sad news indeed!! I also thought their coffee was one of the best in town – they paid such good attention to detail.

    Anyone know what sort of coffee they used?

    I do, they were using beans from a local speciality roaster, Ristretto Coffee from Banbridge. I’m not sure who else in Belfast is using their coffee (I know Cafe Sqaure in Lisburn are) , but you could probably give them a shout and ask.
