our story
The Wandering elk was born out of the love of good quality coffee. Run by a brother and sister duo, Zach & Naomi. With Zach living in Australia and becoming accustomed to Melbourne’s world class coffee scene, the idea grew to bring back the same quality to Ireland. The Elk first opened in 2021 in Portlaoise and after getting rave reviews it wasn’t long until the second Elk opened, in Athlone.
Now its not only coffee the Elk is known for, but their mouthwatering melts and delicious sweet treats.

Love for the elk
Honestly one of the best sandwiches i’ve ever had, and i couldn’t believe the value so ideal for lunch breaks. I’ve paid more and got less in other cafes so i will definitely be going back.
