Reviews of Café Velo

M. C.

Just had breakfast in cafe Velo. Fantastic service and met 3 staff, so so friendly and chatty. We ate outside because we had our dog with us. The staff made such a fuss of our dog and even gave her treats and a sausage for herself!!! Will definitely be back again and again. Sorry I didn't get any names but I'm sure you know who you are. Food was top class too.

M. M.

Been here twice now, will come again. The coffee and service is great. The mini velo needs a sausage, or at least less bread and another item. The roast potatoes with the eggs Benedict were so dry I couldn't eat them. But overall a good spot.

N. Z.

They made a vegetarian irish breakfast for me which was great. Staff were nice and friendly, and there were seats to sit outside

C. F.

Had breakfast here got avo toast and the wife had french toast. Highly recommended breakfast. The interior design is quite unique and reflects the character of this place. I recommend the french toast if you like the best I ever had. The menu is also unique. 👍

D. C.

Really friendly, relaxed cafe. Sat outside in a sheltered but well ventilated snug. Had French Toast with really fresh fruit, and Eggs Benedict that was gorgeous! Thanks for a lovely morning treat Velo 👍

M. A.

I went at the breakfast time at Cafe Velo, I ordered Salmon plate from their menu and Cappuccino. The Salmon is perfect and the portion is very good and suits perfectly to me. The Coffee taste is very good for me and the staff is helpful and cheerful.

A.

Good brunch spot. Nice eggs and coffee but the real stand outs were the home fries 👌. Wait staff were pleasant and covid practice seemed good. Will be back again.

M. D.

Tasty food ..very good service 👏

J. T.

I'd been enjoying Cafe Velo via deliveroo and finally got to stop by in person. Had a lovely mini velo with barrys tea and oat milk, great service! Loved the atmosphere and the indoor chairs are so comfortable!

A. S.

The staff were very nice, and most of the breakfast was nice. The sausage, bacon x2 and mountain of toast was great. The black pudding was nice, a bit overcooked.The pot of tea was bigger than one could hope to drink!( a positive!) However, the scrambled egg was more of an omelette that flopped. Very solid and a bit congealed. The tomato on the menu was described as "oven roasted", but was in fact just a warm raw tomato. And for €12.50, it just seemed a bit much. From looking around at other diners, the scrambled egg is the norm. My husband's coffee was also unpleasant, with a bitter burnt taste. At no point was I asked if we were satisfied with the meal, otherwise I would have mentioned it. Altogether, it was fine. The people there seem lovely, it's a nice space and the toast is good.

C. M.

Amazing eggs Benedict, delicious food.

k. R.

Fantastic breakfast. Hollandaise sauce is absolutely massive 5⭐

A. L.

Lovely staff and service, my only complain is about the cup, I think they changed it for a new glass cup and I went there 3 times already and dropped it all the time...

K. M.

Great full Irish. Well worth it. Staff really friendly too

I. O.

First time sitting down for a meal there. Food was lovely and a sufficient size

S. T.

Service was slow, but that's fine because it was early on a Wednesday. The food was great and the location is better.

R. D.

Wonderful food, great service, would happily visit again.

J. B.

Great food and service, portions are a little big.

M. A.

Plus for having soy and almond milk alternatives tho would love to see oat too. Espresso was solid 5/7 flat white was good too. Would love to see a venture into wider vegan range.

A. S.

The space is bright and cozy. Good coffee and the veggie panini was delicious. Service is not outstanding and is lacking attention to detail. More than once I've been given burned tost, for instance.

K. O. C.

Had a flat white and a chicken stuffing toasted sandwich. Friend had a cappuccino and a custard tart. All were amazing. Staff were friendly and followed COVID regulations well. Waitress asked if we'd prefer to take the coffees off of the tray or if we were okay that she do it. Thought that was a nice touch. Nicely decorated interior. Will be returning!

S. C.

Great coffee, food & staff.

P. W.

Previously rated Velo 5 stars however the new menu has causes me to downgrade it to 3 stars. The brunch options have been removed, you no longer can get scrambled eggs after 11:45. Chorizo hash also removed from the menu. In fact there are no lunch options left for under €12, unfortunately the reduction in menu options no longer makes Velo an attractive option for brunch in the city.

J. C.

Stopped here for a bite to eat Saturday evening, gorgeous burgers and fries and a nice cold pint of Peroni, reasonably good value and the staff were very polite and friendly and the service was excellent.

S. P.

The woman who served me (7th July 8pm) was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Burger was delish too, thanks!

M. O.

Great food as well watched the world go by.

R.

Lovely cafe. Take-out or sit-in available here. Staff are friendly and food is very good. Pricing is very good also. It is a popular place which can get busy at peak times, but that said I've never had any trouble getting a table as they have plenty of seats.

a. n.

Lovely and nice staff. Good cappuccino and pastry

L. S.

Lovely cafe that I come back to regularly. The scrambled eggs on toast is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely and relaxed. Can sit here for ages with the newspaper. Only negative for me was the pavlova that I had recently. Unlike most food here, this wasn’t nice at all - almost inedible! Overall, great spot though!

D. M.

Superb staff, buzzing atmosphere and best brunch in Cork

G. K.

Lovely service and food here.

L. O.

Nicest gluten-free toastie I've ever had.

I. D.

Nice food. Great place for a breakfast or a brunch. Lovely staff.

J. C.

Love this place for the coolest vibe and the interesting people who go there. Oh and the food and coffee are to die for, without getting a heart attack when you get the bill.

L. M.

Great coffee, good food, and really friendly and efficient service!

J. C.

Amazing food, coffee and staff!

A. L.

It was rather busy when we arrived and only 2 waitresses. So everything took very long, starting from the menus to the arrival of the food. A third waiter would have been needed. Our drinks have been forgotten so we got them after we finished the food. The food was okay, but not great. Poached eggs were completely cooked through and not runny at all.

F. J.

Easily the nicest coffee in cork city. Contender for best in the country for sure. Staff are incredibly pleasent. Was served today by Rob who couldn't have been nicer if he tried. Would highly recommend to all.

F. E.

Nice food and friendly staff.

B. B.

great service would highly recommend to anyone if they were looking for a lovely cafe !! staff were incredible food was amazing would definitely go again!

A. D.

Great decoration and atmosphere. Very friendly staff too. The reason for my 3 stars review is due to the quality of the last full irish breakfast that I had there, after a few months without going to cafe Velo. On this occasion, the rashers were very dry and so was the black pudding. My wife complained about the same and her scrambled eggs were too watery.

E. M.

The food was good but not excellent (I ordered poached eggs and they came with yolks that were not runny. Call me picky but poached eggs must be runny). The service was great, the place looks lovely. The music inside on a Sunday morning was so loud I couldn't speak with my boyfriend sitting across the table.

A. J.

Delicious food! Great staff!

E. B.

It's a lovely place for brunch but the attitude was lacking. Orders got mixed up, the girls didn't ask about extra coffee and toasts, had to ask several times to bring us water. Felt like they wanted us to leave right after we were done with the food although the place wasn't crowded

A. D.

Very nice food, staff very friendly but the coffee, mocha and drinks that we ordered took a long time to come (more than the food). The space is very cozy and well decorated

L. O. C.

Great cafe and has a few gf options. If ask can get really nice gf, dairy free, soya free options. I had gf, dairy free, soya free scrambled eggs, tiast and almond milk laté delicious. Really beautiful place

S.

First trip to cafe velo today. I must say that the food was excellent, the service was very efficient and the staff were friendly. The big pot of tea was a bonus. Will definitely return again.

N. B.

Breakfast here was really nice and of course the coffee was also fab!! Highly recommend a visit here.

D.

Really enjoyed breakfast here. Nice rashers, sausage and the pudding was especially good. Excellent coffee. Nice bright warm interior on what was a rotten grey day.

J. R.

Nice brunch, good coffee and cake, lounge music

C. R. A. G.

N. S. (. N.

Lovely spot for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunch. Good staff and service. Reasonable prices. Consistently good food. Coffee is always good!

Ú. F.

Excellent. Another great cork cafe. Brunch menu spot on. Own-roasted coffee is yum. Service efficient and friendly

b. c.

The service was great the staff and management are so friendly and the food was amazing 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be going back..

B. A.

Excellent breakfast rasher sandwich on perfectly fresh white toast. Porridge came with blueberry, raspberry and honey on the side for topping. Friendly staff catered to special dairy requirements tastefully and professionally. Overall the café had a modern décor with a bicycle theme but also including low hanging statement lightbulbs and green plants. Also caters for lunch and weekend brunch.

J. H.

Food a bit of a let down, a bit pricey also. I ordered the crab salad for lunch at €13 and was disappointed with what I received. A small portion of crab, a few slices of cucumber and tomato, and 85% lettuce.. I won't be in a hurry back.

C. M.

Went for lunch and had a lovely sausage roll (told by staff the chefmakes them himself). Service was quick (work lunch) and staff was friendly and polite.

G. B.

Can't fault this place for lunch. Fresh food and great service . Must try the new evening menu soon. Keep up the good work.

C. H.

Great value for money! Especially great coffee and the staff go out of their way to make sure every customer is happy, love this place

P. K.

The smoked salmon on scrambled egg is the best in Cork, but the coffee is even better! One of my favorite places to sit and have a meal and coffee in Cork!

A. H.

Just solely for the coffee is well worth it, once you try their omelettes you'll fall in love

M. L. H.

The full velo breakfast is exactly what you’d want from an Irish meal. Hearty and delicious!

Disapointing this time

R. L.

(Translated) We have gone to breakfast there several times and we love it! The place is very close to the center of Cork, you can reach it on foot. It overlooks the river Lee and a church that is in front of the river. The decoration of the place is beautiful and the food is very good. We will repeat without a doubt (Original) Hemos ido a desayunar alli varias veces y nos encanta! El lugar está muy cerca del centro de Cork, se puede llegar andando. Tiene vistas al rio Lee y a una iglesia que está en frente del rio. La decoración del lugar es preciosa y la comida buenísima. Repetiremos sin duda

D. S.

(Translated) No complaints about products or service. The place is not very cozy and especially it is a place too noisy. The volume of sound goes up easily. Difficult to spend a relaxing time or work on it. (Original) Rien à redire au niveau des produits oj du service. Le lieu n'est cependant pas très cosy et surtout c'est un endroit trop bruyant. Le volume sonore y monte facilement. Difficile d'y passer un moment relaxant ou d'y travailler.
