A wee bit about us

The Claddagh (pronounced kla’-dah) is the familiar Irish symbol of two hands holding a heart, surmounted by a crown. The symbol represents love, friendship and loyalty – which Claddagh Coffee successfully emanates.

Claddagh Coffee is a long time dream of Owner Mary Hogan-Bard, who wanted to cater to the local community in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Our doors opened in August of 2011 in the West 7th neighborhood. In October of 2015, we opened a second location, Wee Claddagh, in the Selby-Dale neighborhood. 

Here at Claddagh Coffee, we are dedicated to good coffee, good food, and good company. We serve specialty coffee, house-made baked goods, soups, salads and paninis featuring fresh, organic ingredients. We also offer box lunches, a catering menu, and cozy meeting space.
