Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>A Plunkett St coffee shop is&nbsp;celebrating after being named in the Financial Times list of &#8216;Best Independent Coffee Shops in the World&#8217;.</h3>
Bean in Killarney, which only opened in late January 2021, was one of 30 coffee shops worldwide &#8211; and one of only two in Ireland &#8211; to make the list, which includes entries from world cities like Paris, London and Sydney.
Bean in Killarney is a sister caf&eacute; to Bean in Dingle which was set up by brothers Justin and Luke Burgess.
The local branch is managed by brothers Joey and Euan Boland, who are also from Dingle.
&ldquo;It is nice to get recognition, especially as a new business,&rdquo; Joey told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;Our main focus is to make the best speciality coffee and we strive to be the best.&rdquo;
They have no idea when the Financial Times journalist visited their shop but the feature was published on ft.com on Monday.
&#8216;Set in a bright yellow shop near the shores of Lough Leane, Bean in Killarney is a family-run business at the forefront of Ireland&rsquo;s coffee scene. Among its favourite offerings is An Fear Marbh [The Dead Man], a caramel-inflected blend named after the Dingle Peninsula landmark. Ashe&rsquo;s Annascaul pork and black pudding sausage rolls complete the County Kerry experience,&#8217; said the Financial Times.
