Cool Beans Coffee in Cork

05/12/2024: Got takeaway but the wonderful atmosphere made me want to eat in next time. Food was perfectly serviceable but was expecting a bit more on the price range.

29/08/2024: The food was pretty good but the curry I received (Thai green) was a lot more liquidy than a normally one. My special requests for extra extra spicy was upheld which I really appreciate. Cost wise, I was surprised that a medium curry (prawn) and a can of diet coke was just under 18€. That said, the food was piping hot and it was incredibly flavoursome and the ingredients insanely fresh. Service was great, the two girls manning the order station were both really nice and very helpful. Atmosphere was a bit strange, the door was left open and the place was completely freezing as a result. Myself and a number of other diners took refuge in the left hand side section of the dining space to try and avoid the draft. Music could be a tiny bit louder as I could hear a couple arguing quietly near me, with the girl in the couple advising her partner she felt ripped off and he should make up a complaint so they could get free stuff by way of compensation. I appreciate that isn't the restaurant's fault, but the place is so quiet it's weird being able to hear other people's conversations so clearly. Will be back to get take away options for sure but reluctant to do dine in again based on how cold and how quiet the place was. Really hope that they might consider keeping the door closed over to keep heat in, and increasing volume of background music so you don't accidentally overhear other people's conversations. Overall, if you're going to pick up a decent take away, definitely spot to hit up.
