This week marked a special moment for all of us at Cloud Picker. Our ad has officially landed in District: 10 Years of Chaos, their milestone anniversary magazine, and seeing it in print feels like a proud chapter in our story.

The visual says so much with so little: our new, sleek coffee boxes set against the Samuel Beckett Bridge. It’s a small but powerful nod to our journey - our roots on Sheriff Street and our present home on Pearse Street - captured in a single frame. Past and present, side by side.

Our headline, “Every Cloud.” It’s a playful twist - every cloud has a silver lining, right? And in this moment, the silver lining is seeing our brand-new boxes make their very first appearance in a publication that has long championed Irish counter-culture.

Inside District: 10 Years of Chaos, there are 247 pages of iconic stories spanning the last decade, alongside fresh reflections on where Ireland stands in 2025 - from music and housing to nightlife and everything in between. It’s a cultural time capsule, and we’re proud that Cloud Picker has found its place within those pages.

Moments like this remind us that while coffee is our craft, it’s also part of a wider cultural conversation - about creativity, community, and the evolving landscape of Dublin. Seeing our boxes featured so prominently feels like a nod to how far we’ve come and where we’re headed next.
