Bewley's has rehired its staff and will reopen its doors on Grafton Street in Dublin tomorrow at 10am.
The café will initially open with table service and offer a limited menu which will still include its famous cherry and almonds buns.
The café experience has been modified to allow for reduced capacity and social distancing.
While the experience has had to be adapted, Bewley's said its team can guarantee top class service and a friendly and warm welcome.
The historic café has had mixed fortunes in recent times, closing and reopening on a number of occasions in the past two decades.
In 2017 it relaunched after a three-year multi-million euro refurbishment project.
But the café closed temporarily in mid-March due to the Covid-19 restrictions and in May told staff the closure was likely to be permanent, resulting in the loss of all 110 jobs.
This was because of the difficulties it faced in reducing its capacity due to social distancing requirements, coupled with the ongoing challenge of meeting its rent of €1.5m a year.
The café's premises is leased from Ronan Group Real Estate, the firm owned by developer Johnny Ronan.
However, it is understood that since May an agreement has been reached between Bewley's and its landlord.
Bewley's owner, Paddy Campbell, said lockdown had given him a lot of time to think and reflect on what's precious in life.
"I've lived through many recessions and recoveries and seen Ireland grow and change, for the good and for the not-so-good," he said.
"And what emerged from my turmoil was the determination that this recovery from Covid should be culture and values led."
He said Dublin has lost so much that was unique and authentic to the community.
"This time, the economic story cannot be the sole focus as we rebuild ourselves. And so, we will pay the heavy price… to live our values, preserve our heritage, and keep this beautiful café open in the beating heart of Dublin. We look forward to welcoming our wonderful customers."
