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.

Our first breakfast in Ireland had to be a full Irish breakfast, of course. I found Cafe Spresso,…read morewhich was a short walk from our hotel, and it had pretty good reviews. It was a Monday at around 11 AM, and there was probably only one other table dining. The menu looked like it was a mix of Irish and Hungarian cuisine. We ordered the large Full Irish Breakfast (2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, black and white pudding, mushrooms, beans, tomato, toast, tea or coffee) and one of the Hungarian specials, a meat croquette, which comes with a cup of beetroot soup. The Irish Breakfast was good - oily, like you'd expect. It did the trick. It's enough to share between two people, just because it's so greasy. I would skip the croquette. It was definitely left over from the night (or maybe more) before. It was soggy and salty. I did enjoy the beetroot soup, but I didn't want to mix too much of it with the coffee I was already drinking. Cafe Spresso is a good option for a full Irish brekkie, which is only €12! But I would just stick to that.

I had a delicious toasty with ham and some of the wonderful Irish cheese, which came with a nice little salad. The honey mustard dressing was really yummy. I had some delicious Lemon Drizzle cake with a dish of fresh whipped cream, and got a slice of apple cake to go after hearing a regular customer rave about it. Also delicious! Planning to stop by on our way out of town for some to-go treats. I read some reviews with complaints about price, but honestly I think the prices are reasonable for the quality and portions that are served.

I wanted to go somewhere other than chain places or anywhere on the new Starbucks row in Cork…read morebefore I took my bus home. Thus I arrived on Coffee Quarter. It's a fairly stock standard little café but there are some nice touches to make it more homely. The little section of tables at the back feels like your own sitting room which is nice. It was pretty quiet at the time, and as the lunch service finishes at 3, I'd imagine they close soon enough after-- I arrived at ten to four and the two girls inside were sweeping up and emptying bins etc. The coffee is Badger & Dodo which is one of my favourite brands, so it was quite nice-- and much better value than other places in town. It just wasn't the most atmospheric or comfortable place I've ever had a coffee. Nice tables outside though for good weather, though it's a bit out of the way for any kind of nice view.

So, I looked online and came across Dukes Coffee Company & I am so glad that I tried it out. The staff were very friendly, they took our order at the counter, gave me my cake and a number, we went to a table upstairs and they brought our drinks to us. I found that it was a great place to meet my friend, as we were able to chat, there is plenty of seating to choose from and it not so loud, that we could hear each other when we were talking. The cake I ordered was AMAZING & the potion was really bis. I can't wait to go back again and try out something else. I would highly recommend Dukes

Don't expect a big fancy menu, as the options are limited yet delicious, with some very interesting veggie-friendly options. ;) I don't quite know how often they change the lunch menu, but the existence of a daily special implies that there must be some new interesting new dishes to try every so often. A mistake I did and should prevent you from doing: save space for the post-meal coffee! They are delicious. Try the Viennese coffee - espresso topped with whipped cream! Nomnomnom. The big downside is that they don't accept cards, only cash - so make sure to pass by an ATM before coming here. I know, I know, that's bad. The super friendly staff will help you feel like it's worth it. :)
