Where do I start?
To say we are devastated is a massive understatement. We started Cafe Leon just over 9 years ago, and for it to be gone overnight is hard to take.
Thank you for all the messages of support over the last few days. It’s been unbelievable and very much appreciated. We’ve been overwhelmed by all the messages, calls, kindness, and support from the community following the fire that destroyed our business.
The community has always been at the heart of our business, and that sense of community is shining through stronger than ever.
My customers were the best around, and I will miss the craic.
Liam and Danny, who have lost not just buildings, but years of hard work and memories — thank you for giving me the opportunity all those years ago and also Dermot and Caroline, who were always on call to nip to the shop if I forgot something — thank you. (Happened more than you'd think 😊)
Right now, we are taking it one day at a time.
