Your own Cork list of cafes
Cafes are often owner operated with a small team, and the owner is usually behind the counter or the coffee machine. They buy coffee, milk, cakes and equipment regularly, and switching supplier depends on taste, service and a good personal relationship.
Start with Cork itself and keep Limerick, Waterford and Kilkenny as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same cafe twice, and you can see at a glance how much of County Cork is done.
Your competitors are already emailing cafes in Cork. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Cork list of cafes in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect cafes in Cork
Export cafes in Cork from Google Maps listings or coffee and cafe review sites as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Cafes Cork. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick hello@, info@, coffee@ and orders@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for cafes in Cork
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Coffee brand | The roaster they use tells a roaster or machine supplier where they stand. |
| Food offer | Cafes that serve food buy from bakeries and food wholesalers. |
| Seats | Size shows likely volume of coffee and cups. |
| Machine | The espresso machine they run matters for service and replacement offers. |
| Takeaway share | High takeaway volume means more cups, lids and packaging. |
What slows down prospecting cafes, and the fix
Cafes and restaurants blur together in scraped listings.
Use a field for business type and a saved filter so your cafe campaign only reaches cafes.
Owners reply by phone or in person, so email history is incomplete.
Add notes to the contact after every call or visit and update the status by hand.
You pitch the same cafe twice because two reps kept their own spreadsheet.
Everyone works in one database with duplicate checks on import and unlimited users on an account.
What to say to cafes in Cork
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets cafes to click.
- Offer a tasting or a sample, because cafe owners decide with their palate.
- Talk about consistency and reliable delivery, since running out of beans or milk costs a morning of trade.
- Point to something local, such as a nearby roaster or producer, which cafes like to promote.

Read moreEmailing cafes in Ireland
In Ireland, B2B email is covered by the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulations, which treat messages to individuals more strictly than messages to companies, and marketing email to individuals generally needs prior consent. You also need a lawful basis, often legitimate interests, to use the details of named contacts, and every message must identify you and offer a free way to opt out. This is general information, not legal advice.
After the morning rush, roughly mid morning to lunchtime on weekdays, owners tend to have a few minutes, while early mornings and weekends are busiest. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
Yes. Put Cork in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Cork. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the cafes yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
Import a list of cafes from public listings, add fields for coffee brand and machine, and put the cafes not using your beans yet in their own segment. Then send a short campaign offering a tasting.
Yes. Add a note on the contact after each visit and change the status. Email history is logged automatically next to your notes.
