The Bookshelf Coffee House in Cork

The barista in this cafe makes really beautiful and nice coffee. If you want to have a good coffee in Cork City, I recommend this place. The atmosphere is also very good

Stopped at Bookshelf Cafe for breakfast and had a great experience. We ordered two scones, a hot chocolate, and tea—all delicious. Service was impressively fast. The tea came with a pot and cup, and the scones were served with butter and jam, which added to the flavor. The atmosphere was wonderful. For 3 scones, 1 hot chocolate, and 1 tea, I paid €17.30, which felt fair for the quality. The place is across to City Hall Q-Park if you need a parking space.

We enjoyed every bit of the falafel bowl and the Korean chicken burger, I missed clicking a picture of the food , I loved the presentation as well! And I must admit the coffee we had was the best we had here in Cork! Perfectly blended! My child had a plain French toast which she happily gobbled up! The staff were attentive and friendly, definitely coming back to grab coffee here again!

We had a very tasty meal and a great time in The Bookshelf At The Elysian.

Breakfast at The Bookshelf was a fantastic experience! Barbara provided excellent service and gave great recommendations, making us feel well taken care of. The poached eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection, and the cappuccino was skillfully made and delicious. a wonderful start to the day—highly recommend!

Great food and atmosphere with the usual Bookshelf charm. Excellent evening well done to all involved making it a wonderful experience

Don’t know about food, but coffee was good.

Brunch was delicious and the service was very friendly, but on a Sunday morning it was very busy and bustling so maybe not the best choice if you want a quiet start to the day!

A wonderful cafe for breakfast and lunch in Cork. Excellent food, attentive staff. I asked for some honey for my tea. It took a while for him to come. The reason for this: a person from the service team (Leonardo?) went to the nearest grocery store and bought honey. I've never experienced anything like this before. Compliment.

Had the toasted special with chips it also came with soup. Barbara was the lady who looked after us and she was fantastic very kind and attentive and you can see she loves her job and takes pride in looking after everyone who walks in the door.
