Butlers Chocolate Café, Oliver Plunkett Street
Cork
20/07/2026: Very good chocolates to accompany coffee.
16/07/2026: We’ve tried the chocolates from several different places and this was our favorite both in terms of taste and value. We particularly loved the passion fruit and our son who prefers white chocolate loved the nice variety there. And at .70 each they’re a steal

Main Street Kinsale
Cork
10/08/2026: I'm speaking from experience about the apartment, and it has an excellent location. The hosts are attentive and friendly; they even booked a taxi for me. The apartment meets all your needs. It is a bit noisy, at least on Saturday nights, but that's the risk you take with the bar downstairs. Everything was very clean.
01/08/2026: Lovely, cosy little bar. Definitely worth a visit.

An Bodhrán
Cork
03/08/2026: Still hasn't changed since the 80s, hopefully it never will.
Edit, its now 2026 and I called in for a 2 pints , just remember that I first visited this pub in 1985, as I was able too. It has been the centre of my writing my nostalgic visits, even during during my cancer fight.
And I was chatting to the lady serving me, then this bearded langer, who is a staff member decided to give his tuppence aggressively and ignorantly and hes 42.....when I asked why the answer was " I added it up" .....
Ill always be grateful its there, but I was one of 5 and a bearded langer thinking he was intelligent.
Im from Cork City, alas Ill never go again
24/07/2026: Wow! What a pub! Peter and his lovely colleague made me and my daughter feel so welcome. Lots of fun banter and great pints of Murphys! Don’t miss this gem!

Leonidas Chocolate Shop
Cork
29/05/2026: I enjoyed superb service from the two wonderful girls working here yesterday. They were extremely polite, courteous and helpful. I enjoyed my conversation with them and their advice was helpful. The gift I purchased for the woman whose baby shower it was at the River Lee Hotel was delighted with the choice of chocolates, this being entirely due to the assistance of Aisling (with a G) and Amelia. These delightful young women are a credit to the company. Peace 🙏🏾

Bracken's Bakery
Cork
10/07/2026: Drove 45 minutes from home to get a box of cakes for my family and stopped by to get a cup of coffee. The apple square is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Lovely staff and nice variety of freshly made food. Kept my box of cakes in the fridge until I was ready to leave. Well worth the travel. Thank you so much! 😄
13/06/2026: Absolutely the best bakery and deli. The sandwich’s are outstanding absolutely outstanding. All staff here are amazing and very friendly people. The cakes are delicious I got my partners cake here for 30th. Definitely the best sandwich in Cork by far.

The Bookshelf Coffee House
Cork
26/08/2026: I’m so excited to go back here! I think the price matches the quality of ingredients, staff are friendly and timely as-well as the food. The only negative thing about our 3rd visit was our eggs weren’t runny, that being said - it was delicious. Great coffee and fresh orange juice. I can’t wait to have eggs royale from here again- best I’ve ever had in all of Cork. Also, it would be great to have a cushion on the chair they’re quite hard, feel very office IKEA-like.
24/08/2026: Great little place by city hall. Delicious coffee. Open, light filled space with books and artwork. Lovely staff and quick service. Very reasonable prices.
