Cafe Gusto Lapps Quay in Cork

26/08/2026: We just had a coffee, but what a coffee! I tried the iced americano with a scoop of coconut lime sorbet — a special creation. I'm not usually a fan of lemon in ice cream, but this was really good. The sorbet was clearly homemade and fresh, the coffee very good too. I had the decaf version. At €5.50, totally worth it. Their drinks are really creative — iced white with pineapple and Tabasco with Cuban coffee, sweet tea with iced chai and pomegranate, Floral Green with iced matcha and elderflower. A menu you don't find everywhere. The barista was smiling, warm, and professional. Not many seats inside, better to sit down for this kind of drink. A few chairs outside. Blue front door, dark green tables, posters and photos on the walls. Very authentic and rustic — simple wooden benches, casual and friendly. It felt like mostly regulars and locals, not tourists. Groups might struggle to find space, especially at peak times or weekends, but it's worth taking away if that happens. Behind South Mall, next to Izz Café. Discreet but worth finding. A bit noisy, but we could still talk easily. Didn't try the pastries or use the toilets. I'll definitely come back. A great little café in Cork.
