    Nice lovely cafe with choices of pastries however the staff in the counter were quite aggressive and unfriendly that somehow scare us when we start to go upstairs without ordering food as we want to check first if there are tables available. No milk serve for our americano or tissue given. When in cork try to look elsewhere for better experience.

    Nothing like a great waffle from time to time, this place has it all. Great friendly staff who enjoy what they do. Great selection of waffles, pancakes, ice cream. Nice place to go to treat yourself. Plenty of seating inside and out. Fairly busy but well worth the wait. Very enjoyable. Prices ranges are very fair, depending on what you can decide on.

    I'm shared The staff is welcoming and the decoration forces the respect for such a small café. Nevertheless, the coffee I had was not particularly good (due to the coffee itself) and the Nutella donut was not particularly good, fatty certainly I understand, you never take one by chance, but the taste of Nutella was not there. I don't know if they are homemade but if instead of covering them you could consider filling them, a shot with a piping bag and it's done. Still a suggestion 🤤 I think I'll give this little cafe another chance soon, staying on a mixed impression is not especially my forte

    Is americano coffee in a paper cup to sit outside really worth €3.45?

  • 5/5 Juile D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little coffee shop. Had some lovely touches, little profiteroles with the cuppa. Friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Dan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Jazzy playlist, lovely free sweet with every coffee. Donuts (Buns) are delightful. A few more savoury food options would be great (only quiche at the moment)

  • 1/5 Fionnuala H. 1 year ago on Google
    Babychino for €3 - bad business move, toddlers grow up but their mums still buy coffees… These are free or a nominal fee when Mammy buys a coffee and bun anywhere else. There are plenty of other coffee shops in Cork, go somewhere else.

  • 5/5 Joana Glaiza G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited 4 times and so far so good! Their nutella pancake with ice cream is so fab, it’s the best pancake that I could ever have in Cork City! They also give you one profiterole for free. It’s so yummy! The staffs are so friendly and always looking after the customer needs. I have nothing bad to say really. This cafe is too perfect for me 🫶

  • 5/5 Lori K. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely spot! Waffle and quiche were wonderful. Latte and cappuccinos devine! We sat upstairs..so cute! It was wonderful to sit at the window and people watch the street below. The owner took great care of us!

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Travel down to Cork every second week and always drop in here. Fantastic treat at just the right price. Love it.

  • 5/5 Rylee B. 11 months ago on Google
    Best coffee shop I've found pretty much anywhere. Delicious espresso, beautiful atmosphere with the seating upstairs, and the treats that come with each dessert are super cute and fun.

  • 1/5 Dean J. 11 months ago on Google
    Firstly, I very rarely leave a bad review on a local business, but unfortunately, this needs to be reviewed. Service was very poor. Stood at counter for a while, not even acknowledged. Seemed like the blonde lady that came out was manager. Took order and while taking my order proceeded to tell "Inca" (apologies if I have the name wrong) about how she put it on the group whattsapp for someone to cover her. No response from Inca, so the blonde lady said "INCA" in quite an aggressive tone and repeated what she said. You could nearly cut the tension with a knife. I would recommend any talk about holidays not to be done in front of customers. Now maybe the €8.95 for 2 oat flat whites might be expensive, but surely they would be nice..... nope. See photo. The flat whites were luke warm at best, meaning no thin layer of foam and unpleasant to drink after 2 mouthfuls. The profiterole was the only nice touch on this place. Won't be back unfortunately

    I got a Too good to go and everything was super delicious, can’t wait to go there and enjoy new treats. However the food was put in the paper bag without any food container. One of the small cake was smashed. Not very hygenic as well.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 5 months ago on Google
    Really good coffee! Very nice atmosphere especially if you sit upstairs where you can easily chill, talk or work although this caffatery is located on the busy street. The owner is very diligent lady who obviously really cares about the establishment. Only pitty thing is that you get there the very tasty coffee in simple paper cup and no glass for water or orange juice. Anyway I recommend the place, especially if you like sweets 😁🍀

    It's a small coffee shop with setting upstairs for about 20 people. The coffee is smooth to drink, and the taste is good. When busy, they do like you to leave after 60 minutes.

  • 5/5 Grant Van G. 6 months ago on Google
    Really great place, plenty of room upstairs with plenty of baked choices and coffees. We had the chocolate cake (amazing), cappuccino and tea. You get a little bun with your drink, which just makes it top notch.

  • 5/5 Tammy S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very great cinnamon roll. The staff is the best!!!! Extremely welcoming and caring about your order.

  • 5/5 Sinead C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Panagiotis T. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely place for coffee and more. I had the pancakes. There are no words that can describe them. Heaven made pancakes and very polite and helpful staff. I recommend this place.

  • 5/5 moscati g. 2 years ago on Google

    A very attractive cake house and coffee shop with very friendly staff. Well situated in the middle of Cork City. A great place to take a break from shopping in the area.

  • 3/5 Gearoid O. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 BANANA B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Minnie L. 1 year ago on Google
    You gotta try one of their buns, the cinnamon one is a fave of mine. Their coffee is pretty good too, great place to sit and people watch outside, you can sit indoors upstairs

  • 4/5 Krystyna O. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is very pleasant and coffee really good but extremely hot, way too hot. But other than that really good.

  • 5/5 Kerry B. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely little cafe in the heart of Cork City. Indoor and outdoor seating available. A good selection of pastries and cakes to choose from. Hot coffee too😊 They also have a toilet available to customers.

  • 5/5 Alicia v. 1 year ago on Google
    Such good food! I had mini pancakes with banana and blueberries, posted a photo. With a oat milk latte. They have freshly made donuts, and exquisite desserts like mini cheesecake, choc tart, egg tart, raspberry crumb cake. Everything looks so good its hard to decide what to get!

  • 5/5 Georgios E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent pancakes, and good coffee. Worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean, but small Asian cafe. Very friendly staff. Simple cake offering, good place for a cup of coffee and bun

  • 5/5 Tom G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely coffee, busy when I was there and a bit slow as a result. Little chocolate with the coffee was a nice touch.

  • 3/5 Maïte F. 2 years ago on Google
    Although the food & drinks were very good (would have preferred homemade cream though) we didn't enjoy it and will not come back. We were served by two younger adults of whom the male seemed a bit lost, which would've totally been ok if he had recently started there (didn't seem so though), and a female who was however outright rude to us and didn't care about service at all... in addition, we were served in disposable dishes although we were staying. We noticed that, later on, another female (maybe the owner?) joined the staff and she, however, was super friendly and attentive. So it seemed we may have been unlucky - still, rude service is an absolute no go.
