The food and coffee are really good here. The sandwiches and soup would definitely make you want to go back. The lemon cake is delicious. I wasn’t mad about their chai latte, kind of bitter and gritty. It is a little on the expensive side and the service can be slow. I had my table reserved for lunch and I was still told to wait in the queue for 20 minutes among everyone ordering takeaway before they’d show me to my seat. The girl who told me to queue was standing around doing nothing the entire time. I waited another 20 min for my food after that. Kind of left a bad taste despite the food being so good.

Fantastic spot, a regular of ours now. Sandwiches and baked goods are great, and brunch is amazing. Very lovely staff too!

G. O. L.

Staff very friendly food and coffee delicious and fresh.

Popping in here for a coffee has become part of my daily self care routine. The crew are always bubbly, smiley and friendly. Whenever I get asked where I go for coffee, I’m always delighted to say I come here!

F. H.

This is a gem of a café. The food is carefully and lovingly prepared. The staff are consistently genuine, welcoming and in the ball. Fav spot

It’s a cute cafe and the staff seem very nice, though I wasn’t impressed by the food. I ordered the ham and cheese toastie with soup, and while the ham in the sandwich seems like good quality, the ratios of ham to cheese were way off. So much so that I didn’t really enjoy a single bite. It was too meaty and dry. A shame when you’re using nice produce. The bread was also overly toasted for my liking, again adding to the dryness of the overall sandwich. The soup was gloopy and under seasoned. Also, we had reserved a table for 2 in advance and informed the restaurant that my friend requires a gluten free option, but when she tried to order a sandwich, she was told the gluten free bread delivery didn’t arrive this morning. In my mind I’m thinking ‘there’s a supermarket 2 mins walk from the cafe’. No need to disappoint customers. My friend ended up ordering the special as a result, which she said was just a bowl of rice with tomato sauce and not super appetising. I’ll possibly return at some point if in the area again, as the reviews seem so encouraging. However, other than the friendly front of house staff, I found this disappointing.

Delicious food and coffee. Took a bit of time to come out but the wait was worth it! Love the interior of the café too - especially all the plants!

J. C.

Our favourite cafe in Cork. Great coffee, great food and even better vibes. We visit at least a few times a week and the team is always so friendly and positive 🤩

F. M.

Tasty Brunch in a nice cafe with lovely decor. Very busy though so be prepared to wait. Staff were friendly and attentive. Eggs Benedict was tasty. Not the best I’ve had but cooked perfectly with fresh ingredients. Fresh Orange Juice was actually fresh orange juice unlike some places. Overall tasty but a little higher on the price scale.

E. R.

The food here is delicious and the ambience throughout the cafe is lovely. There is a great variety of food and drink (gluten free, vegetarian and vegan) on offer. It is reasonably priced and the staff are lovely. It's such a great spot to meet someone for brunch or a takeaway lunch. Their halloumi sandwich and snickers dessert is my favourite. I also really enjoy their smoothies.

H. H.

Great cafe,delicious food. Fantastic experience overall!

D. M.

Excellent eggs and coffee. Just an overall pleasant place to relax and enjoy good food

B. R.

Beautifully presented and well executed menu. The coffee is fantastic and the cosy 'upcycled' decor and good music makes this place a lovely hangout for brunch.

A. L.

Good, simple, fresh and wholesome food with Smoothies that leave you feeling renewed. They weren't kidding when they named it Good for the Soul!

J. O.

Brekkie Stir fry is amazing. Delicious coffee. Avo toast with poachies and the maple bacon pancakes also brilliant. Highly recommend

C. B.

Lovely Brunch

C. L.

Superb food and wait staff. There is usually a wait but it's well worth it. Really nice coffee too

R. q.

Amazing Decor, wonderful Staff and the coffee is top-notch. The food is all made in house. Great to see a new place like this in Ballincollig!

S.

Lovely food, lovely place, helpful staff and all at a good price. Will be back for sure

M. N. M.

Fab is what I have to say but you may have to book ahead as it is quite small.

R. S.

Nice coffee and some different lunch options. All very tasty and they have a selection of some local food to buy inside also. Recycleable takeaway items also which is always great to see.

J. B.

I was immediately greeting by very pleasant wait staff and ushered to my table. Great earthy vibe to the place. Customers appear quite happy and there was a pleasant aroma in the air. They seem to use locally source quality ingredients one of which were listed as organic. They also have vegetarian and vegan offerings as well as specialities for the carnivore. Anyway, I had a delightful breakfast. The price seemed a bit high but I think it was worth it. Oh yes, they make a nice cuppa coffee.

Delicious healthy food, lovely setting and really nice people. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

C. A.

The smashed Avo and the corn fritters were amazing! What a great place for breakfast.

T. F.

One of the better breakfasts I've had in my life! I ordered the corncakes with bacon, poached eggs, avocado and salad and a smashing cup of coffee. Lovely, relaxed vibe and the staff are friendly (genuine-friendly, not in-your-face-friendly... which is hard to come by). I didn't try the baked goodies but they smell gooooood. I'll certainly be back.

C. J.

Outstanding breakfast. This place is very special indeed. Delicious breakfast with options for kids and parents and unbelievably family friendly. They really go the extra mile to make you feel at home. Well done to all. Voted Softest and Best pancakes by my two!

S. O.

Staff are really pleasant, service is quick and food is delish!

B. B.

This place makes some of the best coffees in Cork and, quite possibly, has the best service in the Emerald Isle. It's a big claim but one I'd fiercely defend! Food is fantastic with daily specials and delicious homemade goods. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough!

A. B. W.

Great Fresh Food.. Very friendly staff

J. N.

By far the best coffee and service in the area. They make smoothies and all types of good quality food. Highly recommend it.

L. P.

Beautiful cafeteria with big windows, comfortable seats and lots of light. The staff is nice and cheerful. Easy to find a parking spot. Coffee is good and not excessively bitter like many other cafeteria and service is fast. Recommended.

E. D.

A great spot for lunch in Cork. Staff are beyond cool, food is amazing. Lots of healthy options. The place looks great too. Food is served quickly so you will have time to spare. Price is good and I can't fault it in anyway.

L. K.

Went on Saturday midday, got a table very quick, waitress was really nice too. Eggs royale were lovely, but pancakes with bacon and maple syrup... Oh my!! That bacon is unbelievable! Definitely coming back 😊

C. P.

One of my favourite cafe's in Cork. Located in the middle of Ballincollig and very accessible from Cork City. The coffee is amazing and the food is delicious. It's always nice to visit the friendly team that work there. A must must visit, especially if you're in the Ballincollig area!

A. K.

Spent a few hours in the cafe and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. One of the guys even gave me a loan of his personal battery pack to charge my phone Food was great and Coffee was a delicate roast with nice flavouring and definitely one to try out.

We usually go a couple of times per week, but just coffee around breakfast time... Mocha and Flat white really good and full of flavour, friendly staff, usual even a bit cheap price, also to take away.

T. W.

Called here out of the Blue to get a cappuccino and some breakfast and I must say the food was really nice.The cappuccino was excellent, probably one of the nicest I've tasted in a long time.Parking is freely available with two hours free and the staff were very friendly and polite.It is a small enough cafe,but although busy,we got a table no problem.There is only the one toilet there and it's also wheelchair and disabled friendly.The toilet was spotless and we'll kept.The atmosphere there was nice,and i will return there again.Would recommend to all😀

F. F.
