The Bookshelf Coffee House in Cork

Friendly staff and good quality homemade food. Lovely fresh scones.

Very nice overall. Very friendly waiters. Will go again.

Eggs Benedict: the best I've ever eaten!

Lovely spot. Highly recommend for brunch

Visited with friends for brunch which was really lovely. Two of us had the french toast which was lovely, one had a full Irish and one had pancakes. It was a little tight on space for my friend who had a baby and stroller which I had specifically mentioned in the booking form, but other than that a really lovely experience. Staff are so friendly and warm and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Parking is not free but would recommend the elysian car park over city hall. We will be back soon!

Always a great experience in terms of food, service and atmosphere. I really like this place

Really nice restaurant, food was excellent, cosy warm friendly atmosphere, nice staff, well worth a visit."

Eggs were all perfectly cooked. The sourdough base they use for many of the dishes is really nice. The yogurt with granola and fruit was amazing (they really nailed a rather basic dish). Main dishes sat around 14-16 euro, with a few options under that. They serve a high quality coffee. They clearly put thought into the producers they use and list them on menu (a lovely touch). The lightning felt a bit jarring, but that would be my only complaint.

Extraño menú de almuerzo, pero finalmente encontramos una pequeña tabla de sándwich. Sirvió sándwiches rápidos y encantadores y servicio. Popular

La comida era increíble y el servicio era bueno. Diciendo que mi amiga llamaba a nuestro camarero y él no escuchó así que ella golpeó ligeramente su hombro. Él respondió muy agresivamente diciendo que estaba "ofendido por ser tocado" y que estaba "ocupado y llamaría a nuestra mesa cuando estuviera listo". Luego, cuando pedí una copa, anunció en voz alta "OTRA mimosa" en tono de corte. El mismo camarero tenía una bandeja de bebidas calientes flotando sobre un bebé recién nacido en su buggy en la mesa de al lado... haciendo que la madre pusiera la capucha una vez que se fue. Huelga decir que recibió alguna propina.
