This is a brilliant place for breakfast, brunch or a hot drink and a pastry. Been here a few times but had the most amazing french toast this morning which prompted me to write this review. It had homemade toasted marshmallow and blueberry jam, truly delicious.

A cosy and quaint Tea Room in the heart of Cork City serving wholesome breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and a selection of home baked goods.

Called in for a spontaneous breakfast, we were treated well by attentive staff and seated at a delightful table, surrounded by quirky decor. Great coffee preceded an excellent breakfast (beware the spicy beans!). I'd have given 5 stars but for the poor housekeeping and maintenance - it needs proper cleaning and decorating.

This place reminded me of when I lived in America and on fridays me and my girlfriend would go to the local diner during the 60s. It had a outstanding atmosphere and the staff were delightful and very patient. Great food.

Pleasant lunch although there were some flaws that kept it under a 5. Fried haddock was nice but small piece with too much bready batter. The fish was also overlooked and dry. Nice salad but too much dressing. Staff was excellent and dining room was very comfortable and cheery.

We stopped in here because we could take the dog with us to eat out in the garden. Lovely little outdoor spot, very welcoming and a couple of haughty black cats keeping an eye on the customers! Our waitress was lovely; we had a Chicken Tikka Wrap and aGreek Style Salad - both were good value.

Reviewed By eoin234
I go here very often, normally for a coffee & a ham & cheese toastie.Fresh, soft doorstep bread, tasty cheese and enough ham to make the mix Mmmm.Coffee & tea is always good, so are the snacks.The Café itself is very relaxed, with a nice décor, plenty of windows with natural light, and you are allowed to adjust the blinds when needed, or just ask the waiting staff.They employ people with disabilities, which is a huge plus, they really give back to the community.This is a busy spot, as their reputation for consistently good food has spread.

Wonderful little cafe tucked away in Ballincollig. Delicious food and the staff are super friendly. Relaxing atmosphere. It is a busy, popular spot so you will be waiting during peak times but they can take your name so when you come back they'll have a table waiting for you. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Whenever I take a trip to Cork I go out of my way to fit in a visit. Always welcoming and friendly, assertive staff. Comfortable seats to spend time enjoying the delicious toasted sandwiches, a sausage roll (too nice not to get!) and a great cup of coffee (badger & dodo). I would also highly recommend the treats of which I've tried many but if I had to choose 1, no make that 2, I would suggest picking up a salted caramel brownie and a slice of carrot cake and then a biscuit cake to go for later (actually 3!). I love the biscuit cake so much so that I ordered the Christmas Biscuit Cake Pudding to enjoy over last Christmas which was nicely packaged and great value. I will hopefully be down in Cork to visit again soon!

Reviewed By Richard M
Since our last visit (8 years ago!) the bakery and cafe/restaurant have split locations. Because of our early arrival in Cork we were in Ballinspittle shortly after nine, and were surprised to find that neither location was open. Seems the Irish arenât out as early as we. We went through the local market and killed some time. We were first in to the cafe and had a nice breakfast. Nothing was rushed, Two of us had Cheesy bacon toast, one Huevos Rancheros, and one mushroom ragout. The latter two came with eggs and toast. Cafe became busy and noisy quite quickly. Not inexpensive but good local food. Worth going a bit out of the way for.
