A Better Oat, A Better Cup: Moving to Regenerative!
If you’ve stopped by our Pearse Street cafe or The Dispensary lately, you might have noticed a little more green. We are excited to announce that we are upgrading the oat milk in our jugs to a brand new Regenerative Oat Milk, created by our partners at Minor Figures.
For us, coffee has always been about more than just the origin of the bean or the precision of the roast. It’s about the entire supply chain that connects a farm to your cup here in Dublin. By making this switch, we are changing the story behind the milk we serve, and we wanted to share why this matters.
Why the switch?
We’ve loved crafting smooth, creamy coffees with Minor Figures for years. They are a brand that shares our B Corp values, a commitment to being a force for good, not just a profitable business. You likely hear the word "sustainable" everywhere these days. But for us, sustainability is the baseline.
Regeneration goes a step further; it is about actively making the land better than we found it. A Mindset Shift: Control vs. Nurture. The regenerative oats that Minor Figures sources are grown using methods that work with nature’s rhythm rather than trying to force it. This approach focuses on:
- Restoring Soil Health: By keeping living roots in the ground year-round and using diverse plant mixtures, these farms help build back the organic matter that conventional farming has stripped away.
- Carbon Capture: Healthy soil acts as a massive carbon sink. By promoting regenerative practices, we are helping to sequester carbon in the earth rather than letting it escape into the atmosphere.
- Boosting Biodiversity: By moving away from monocultures (miles of the same crop), these fields support local insect populations, pollinators, and birdlife, fostering a vibrant, living ecosystem around the farm.
- Water Health: Healthy soil holds water better and prevents the kind of erosion that leads to chemical runoff, meaning cleaner waterways and a more resilient landscape.

Barista Quality, Ethical Roots
When we make a change like this, the first question is always: does it still taste good?
We are happy to report that the texture is just as silky and the natural sweetness perfectly complements our espresso blends. You aren’t sacrificing quality for ethics; you’re getting the best of both. Every Cup is a Choice
We don’t believe in making a "big song and dance" about every little change, but this feels important. Every time you order a flat white or an oat cappuccino, you are supporting a supply chain. By choosing regenerative, you are supporting farmers who are actively putting life back into their fields.
We want to serve coffee that is delicious, but we also want it to be part of a future we’re proud to build.
Pop into Pearse Street or The Dispensary and try it for yourself. We think you’ll taste the difference, and we’re proud to have you on this journey with us.
