    Delicious food and coffee. Took a bit of time to come out but the wait was worth it! Love the interior of the café too - especially all the plants!

    Love this place! Friendly staff, tasty food and cute decor. We are tourists from the US. We came to this restaurant in two consecutive days. It’s definitely one of our favorite places for breakfast or lunch. ❤️

    Lovely atmosphere, great service, yummy food!

    The worst chai latte I have ever had. Didnt even taste like chai, rather the oat milk with a slightest taste of some Chai mixture. My suggestion, have a look at Prana Chai so you can learn about proper Chai latte or tea if you decide to have it in on the menu - it goes perfectly with Bon Soy milk.

    Fantastic spot, a regular of ours now. Sandwiches and baked goods are great, and brunch is amazing. Very lovely staff too!

    Lads, the Moroccan Eggs... Also, yes the staff are A+, place itself is nice to be in and the coffee is pretty d*mn good too. Can be busy so could be worth booking a table to ensure you get those Moroccan eggs. Did I mention the Moroccan eggs? With bacon?

    One of best places for coffee in Ballincollig. Have yet to try the food here as it's always very busy, need to book in advance if you want to have lunch.

  • 5/5 Saoirse M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, staff so accommodating. Great place. Was our first brunch since having a baby and it was a lovely experience

  • 5/5 Tony O. 9 months ago on Google
    Really lovely little place, we were served by Sarah and Eimer, who were so courteous. The food was really fresh and delicious! Perfect if you're looking for a light breakfast or lunch. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Febz B. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, one of the very few breakfast places in cork who serve american-style bacon instead of rashers, we had the french toast with bacon and maple syrup, and breakfast burrito. It was very tasty. Highly recommended and definitely coming back.

    I almost never write reviews on google, but we went here for breakfast yesterday, and it was the nicest coffee shop breakfast I have ever had in my life, The cakes were out of this world, and are apparently freshly baked by themselves. Amazing coffee shop, I will definitely be back.

    Great first time experience. Loved the food Ambience was lovely

  • 4/5 Ashley H. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and coffee are really good here. The sandwiches and soup would definitely make you want to go back. The lemon cake is delicious. I wasn’t mad about their chai latte, kind of bitter and gritty. It is a little on the expensive side and the service can be slow. I had my table reserved for lunch and I was still told to wait in the queue for 20 minutes among everyone ordering takeaway before they’d show me to my seat. The girl who told me to queue was standing around doing nothing the entire time. I waited another 20 min for my food after that. Kind of left a bad taste despite the food being so good.

    Amazing food. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Brunch fritatta with extra relish is my go to.

    Always a really nice place for my breakfast, mostly saturdays when i can. eggs with toast are my go to but the chocolate is really good 😁.

    I was there the other day and the food wasn't great like. I couldn't eat it as it wasn't fully cooked and the French toast was completely soaked in the syrup. Not a great experience anyway, but they were sound.

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful. The food was good and there were actually a number of beers that I have not seen elsewhere in the Cork area. I would not say this is a must do if visiting from abroad, b...
