    Amazing place. Very big plates, everything was delicious. Nice coffee and fresh orange juice too. In less than 10 minutes we got all the food and drinks. The price is surprisingly cheap for what’s offered and staff are lovely.

    I was looking for somewhere in Cork City to have coffee and cake and came across Dukes Coffee Company online. I saw the good reviews and thought I’d try it out. It was busy when we arrived, but managed to order our coffee and cake and get a table upstairs. It was a great place to sit and chat, it wasn’t very loud here and we were able to hear each other 🤪 Looking forward to going back and trying out more of their cakes

    I have eaten here many times and always really enjoyed the food. The staff are always friendly and very helpful whenever my sister who is a wheelchair user comes with me.

    Lovely place for a breakfast. I go here very often and it never disappoints. Food is great and portions are very good. Staff is always nice and polite, they serve food very fast even when they are busy. I would highly recommend trying it out since they have a little of something for everyones taste.

    Immaculate service and a sweet hidden gem in Cork. A lovely selection of breakfasts and (sweet & savoury) treats with several vegan options as well. Absolutely loved it!

    Ordered two breakfasts and two coffees, for my partner and myself and paid €30.40 at the counter when the food was ordered. Asked for some toast when I was served my breakfast, as the breakfast did not come with toast and was shocked when I was then given a bill for €2.75 for 2 slices of toast. I eat out most days in Cork City and have frequented Dukes quite a bit in the past. I've never had an issue with the food and I've no problem in paying for anything, but I think it's a cheek to have to pay for toast for your breakfast!! I won't be coming back here to eat, as I told the lady (I think she was the owner) at the counter when I paid my additional bill for the two slices of toast. I do hope the €2.75 was worth it and I'll be sure to spread the message to avoid this place to my friends who regularly eat in the city.

    A gem of a spot in Cork City, top quality food and great banter in there. Had the gorgeous breakfast with potato cake also highly recommend the Sausage Rolls and of course the decent coffee. Toilets pass my clean test also 😊

    Went early on Saturday morning and sat by the window. Didn't have food so can't comment on that. Great coffee and pleasant staff, nice atmosphere from staff helps.

    I like dukes, good coffee and brunch with amazing people!

  • 1/5 Cemile Akbey G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude staff. When you ask if we should sit first or order, they say “this is not a restaurant!”. We ordered lots of things, and it’s because our daughter has a donut we brought, they didnt allow her to eat it and warned us rudely again by saying “you can’t eat this here!”. When you also ask if you can make the sandwich warm; they tell you “we already do it…” terrible staff, the worst…

  • 1/5 Ksenia G. 1 year ago on Google
    Have a feeling that they serve not fresh meals. Avocado was almost black and actually dead, the expiration date of salmon clearly ended the day before yesterday, I am having stomach problems after their fantastic breakfast. The atmosphere is also very unfriendly and cold. Would not come back.

  • 5/5 Athina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to be there. Never disappoints us! Nice selection sandwiched and snacks. Lovely breakfast/brunch options as well! Whenever we get the chance to be in Cork, it's our first choice!

  • 5/5 KIERAN C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was just a lovely family Christmas Eve breakfast. They very kindly took our booking at short notice. We were made to feel very welcome and not at all rushed. The food was lovely and the staff were, as always, wonderful. Thanks so much .

    Nice place for brunch where to eat on the go. There is a lot of choice of breakfast; sandwich; wraps, hot or cold drink. The atmosphere is nice, there is a floor with sofa and a small place for children to play. When we were there, the playlist was really cool, playlist 80's. There is a table service that is always nice and the team is nice. Nothing to say, if you want to have a quiet time, I recommend.

    Really nice café! Great coffee, plenty of good food options at decent prices, and a wide range of delicious cakes and pastries. This is definitely one of the top cafés in the city. Really nice staff, too!

    I ordered the "vegan breakfast" thinking I'd get some toast, hummus, baked beans, hash browns, mushrooms and tomatoes but what I got was one piece of bread with warm hummus on it and oily mushrooms, oily tomatoes and oily asparagus with half a bottle worth of balsamic vinegar drizzled on top (it was too overwhelming). Couldn't finish it. It wasn't nice at all. Even the portion size was too small.

  • 5/5 김선희 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was kind and the food was very delicious. If you order ciabatta, it will be served with salad. The inside of the store is clean and quiet.👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Sil V. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite place for breakfast and brunch, food pretty nice and all the staff are lovely. I love go there!

  • 2/5 Katja K. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was not the best. Got dirty glasses and a dirty water can. The coffee wasn't the best either. The food was dry, cold and the relish was too spicy. The atmosphere was also cold and distant. It wasn't good and we won't come back.

  • 5/5 Mattia L. 4 years ago on Google
    A cute coffee place tucked in a busy corner street. They have a full menu with sandwiches and salads. They have good coffee with some pastries. There is a second floor that you can sit as well. It’s a great place to take a break and drink coffee or hot chocolate!

  • 5/5 B K. 2 years ago on Google
    Got two sandwiches and they were exactly what I wanted on the day. That craving when you're hungry but you don't know what you want, these were exactly that. I couldn't identify a single taste but it was lovely nonetheless. Coffee was on the small side and altogether a bit pricey but overall very nice. Visited again today, guy serving us was really pleasant and patient.

    I know this is not the end of the world but it is important. Myself and my partner were just in for breakfast. My partner had French toast and I had a full breakfast. So after 10mins or coffees came followed by the French toast. I was assured that my breakfast Is on its way. As we ate there before we didn't think to much of that . However after 15mins still no breakfast until I asked if my breakfast is on it's way again I was assured it was . At this stage my partner had nearly finished her breakfast and after 30mins I received my breakfast. I asked why it took so long and I was told that they had to COOK the breakfast. I wouldn't mind normally but infairness there was about 7 staff while the owner overseeing from the table at the end of the stairs. I wanted to highlight because I received no apology, rational or even a sense that my custom was important. Blaming the cooking of a simple breakfast is not an excuse for very poor service. The attitude of the server was poor and came across as defensive. Overall as we always had a nice experience in this restaurant I'm assuming this is a once off ,However I wont be going back.

    What a little treasure of a place….. great choice of food, nice hot tea & friendly helpful staff. Will certainly be returning to sample some other tasty looking delights 😋

  • 5/5 Elisa R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee shop I've ever been in Cork. The lunches are very tasty and affordable. It's almost like gastronomic sandwiches. Moreover, the employee are really lively. This is the place to go !!!!
