A beloved cafe in Baldoyle is battling to stay open due to high electricity bills amid the cost of living crisis, with its owner calling for more support form the Government to help cafes and restaurants.
The Hot Sandwich Company opened four years ago in Baldoyle. They serve delicious sandwiches, salads, cupcakes, coffee and pastries.
Owner Margaret Flanagan told Dublin Live that they opened at Christmas in 2018, having wanted to open a cafe in Baldoyle for many years. According to Margaret, they are very busy in the cafe on a daily basis but the last few years have been tough, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic. She said: "It's been tough, year one is the growing stage for any business then year two was Covid. So the two years of Covid were really hard.
