The place has a great little hipster vibe, but had everyday people looking dressed for work in business casual all over drinking coffees and enjoying a snack. My friend and I had latte's, perfect foam and the espresso was delicious! You should definitely try a cup, and enjoy your time in Cork! Maybe they'll open a roasters in Brooklyn, so I can enjoy it all the time. thanks for a great cup!

Right across from the train station, we grabbed breakfast here before we left for Dublin. It was…read morebusy when we came in, but they managed to seat us within 5 minutes. The whole place was decked out in Halloween decorations, and the atmosphere was very lively. I ordered the lucha libre and an iced strawberry matcha, and I must say that this was one of my favorite meals in Cork. The lucha libre is an incredibly heavy meal, so I didn't finish it, but the potatoes were crispy, the chorizo was flavorful, and the sauce had a nice kick to it. I don't put too much weight on the matcha, but it was definitely more milk than matcha. But the strawberry flavor was nice.

They kindly told us where to go. There suggestion was spot on. So, we had to come back for coffee. As a thank you. Once we came back, I had to try the black pudding and sausage rolls. Delishious. I've never since these sexy pasties before. Where have they been?? When I come back to cork. I'll be coming back here. (although, I'm here for another day. So, you lads will see me tomorrow!!)

On the walk up from town to the Cork City Gaol we passed this cool looking place…read more I glanced back and chuckled at the humorous sign outside, (New customers required. No previous experience necessary. Apply within.) and we decided to pop in for a sandwich. And I am so glad we did. This is a little bit of everything rolled into one. Part tea room, part sandwich bar, park general store. And al mishmashed in a variety of styles and decor. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and sat down near the door to wait. And were charmed. This is the type of place I would love to have near me. Everyone who entered was greeted by name and Vikki knew exactly what they wanted and needed. When an elderly lady didn't have enough change with her to pay, Vikki simply said "No problems, you can get me next time." Wow, that this still happens somewhere fills me with joy still! The sandwiches by the way were great as was the service.

The meat samosa and the veggie samosa were yummy. The tandoori meats were brilliantly seasoned. The sausage was so good and I don't even know what it was. You have to give them a try.
