Welcome to Ómra - a family‑founded coffee company inspired by people, place, and purpose.
We began with a mission to breathe new life into a cherished building and to create connections - over exceptional coffee - that bring people together.
Reviving a Family Legacy
The building on Strand Road in Derry once housed our parents’ (and before that, our grandfather’s) pharmacy - a place of warmth, conversation, and community.
When the pharmacy closed, and the building fell silent, we saw both a challenge and an opportunity: to restore a beloved space and honour our family's roots.
A Spark Over Coffee
While brainstorming ideas to restore the space, we kept returning to one thought: coffee. We love its complexity, its traditions, and most importantly, its ability to bring people together - whether that's old friends catching up, a first date, or a quiet moment of reflection.
Starting small, we opted to launch as a specialty coffee roastery - giving us the resources to renovate our building and build from the ground up.
Growing Together, One Roast at a Time
Ómra Coffee began as a close‑knit, family‑run venture. Through experimentation, dedication, and invaluable support from mentors and the local community, we honed our craft and grew into a passionate, united team.
Looking to the Future
Our journey is ongoing. With each roast and shipment, we fuel the renovation of the old pharmacy and bring people together - whether through online orders, wholesale partnerships in Ireland and the UK, or our upcoming space on the Strand Road.
We invite you to join us on this adventure: enjoy our coffee, be part of our community, and help us write the next chapter.
