Locally sourced New England-influenced plates, served all day in a casual bistro-style setting.

👍👍 Went for lunch after seeing all the 5 star reviews. I was not disappointed. Great unfussy food at a good price. Friendly staff

👍👍 The food was great. The portions were generous. Feel your money’s worth. There was a queue, but it was quick. The service was great too. Great experience overall.

👍👍 Great cafe with a cute breakfast. We ordered the vegetarian breakfast and Irish breakfast - both were great. There's limited seating but they take reservations so we'd recommend calling ahead on weekends.

👍👍 Set in the middle of a gorgeous garden, the food and service at Good Day Deli was impeccable. The lentil burger was the best vegan burger we ever had and those chips were full of wholesome homemade goodness. We also had the pancakes and those were exactly what is needed for a Sunday morning - cris...

👍👍 We spent 3 mornings in Cork and had breakfast here all 3 mornings. This is a wonderful spot with delicious food and fantastic service. My only regret is that I didn't get to try the perogies. If or when I return to Cork I'll be visiting this spot again.

👍👍 A visit to Good for the Soul is always just that - good for the soul. I always feel welcome. There are always plenty of vegan options on the menu, and the food is fresh and tasty. Even if you just pop in for a takeaway coffee, you're met with a smile. And if you're in for that coffee on the go, don'...

👍 Location is good. It doesn’t have much variety in terms of cakes but for pastries, croissants, muffins etc it’s good. Staff is very nice and helpful.

👍👍 Went for breakfast with a friend on Sunday morning. Everything was lovely we both got a build your own breakfast. It was very busy however our waitress was brilliant. Donal the owner was also great and came over to chat with us as we were leaving. Highly recommend

👍👍 Fantastic service. Great vegan options. Gorgeous coffee. Had the salt of the earth toastie with tots, absolutely delicious. Set in a charming arcade with lots of seating. Highly recommend 😃 staff are sound.

👍👍 Delicious spot for some breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I've been wanting to go in for a long time, and I am so glad we finally visited. Great breakfast options, steering away from your usual full irish, fresh produce and amazing, well cooked eggs with just the right amount of seasoning and not too...

😠 After buying a sandwich and coffee CoMix Cafe Restaurant I was never more insulted in any restaurant: they refused to serve me a glass of tap water, offering only bottled water, which out of principle I refused. This is my first and last visit. Any restaurant that would refuse a glass of water to...

👍👍 One of my favourite places to go for a coffee in Cork. Authentic Italian treats and food, beverages and food alike are extremely competitively priced.

👍👍 Very fast service, bright and cheerful decor, tasty fresh food and rich coffee. Will definitely be back!

👍 Breakfast / lunch option are great. Busy place on a weekends, best to book in advance. They offer gluten free toast (please ask in advance). The roast potatoes are just fantastic

👍👍 Best cuppacino I've had in Ireland & UK. Just like in Australia. So no surprise to find out the barrista is an Aussie. Great atmosphere, great pastries and fantastic service from Amelia. There were plenty of locals in the cafe, too. Thanks Amelia for the helpful travel hints.

😠 Owners are a disgrace, have found out about multiple examples of mistreating staff, removing staff with no notice of dismissal whatsoever, which is completely illegal, tips disappearing, management staff who seem to change every few weeks have themselves stated the place is a joke and don’t plan to...

👍👍 Found this coffee shop this afternoon in Ganmire, ordered a cappuccino and a slice of lemon drizzle cake. Oh wow, it was amazing, think the ice cream was a nice touch. Well worth a visit.

👍👍 I go here once or twice a week. Their menu is great: classic brunch stuff. also salads and sandwiches. The management and staff are lovely too. The cafe decor is old-style, comfy and, for the times we're living in, well ventilated. Highly recommended.

👍👍 Went here for breakfast, I had the omelette and a coffee. Both were great and I thought a lot more reasonably priced than other places nearby
