Mahers Pure Coffee
Cork
21/08/2025: (Online experience)
The product has good quality, but the packaging does not come with the quantity paid.
20/08/2025: We stop by Maher every week to get our coffee grounds, and we absolutely love it! The selection of flavors is fantastic, and the coffee itself is just amazing. Whenever we travel back to our hometown, we always bring some with us because our families love it too and always ask for more. Truly one of our favorite places for coffee!

Boru Coffee Shop
Cork
29/07/2025: SUCH lovely staff! Amazing chai and parfait. Reasonably priced as well which is hard to find!
15/07/2025: A very charming café. The space was well utilized, and no one would have guessed anyone would set up a café on that corner. The espresso is very good, they have delicious snacks, and it's in a very good, even beautiful, location where thousands of people pass by every day on their way to the trains or the bus stop.
I wish you much success and good luck for many years to come.

Coriander Nepalese and Indian
Cork
23/07/2025: We enjoy this restaurant which offers delicious Nepalese food.
29/06/2025: The food is really good sometimes and other times not so good! Tonight it was very good. Maybe there is a different chef some nights! The restaurant feels a bit like a canteen and needs redesign!
The toilet is very dirty with no hand drying facility!

The Old Town Whiskey Bar at Bodega

02/09/2025: We went for a weekly game night and had a brilliant time, plus the best burgers and chips. The gravy dip for the chips makes the entire dish.
02/09/2025: Really great food and nice cocktails. They were very busy so the service was a little bit slow, but we will still be back. Nachos are outstanding!

Balance
Cork
21/05/2025: Really nice cafe-restaurant. I had the hash and chorizo. Very reasonable price and very tasty and filling. The place is busy and popular.
13/05/2025: So only for 1 or 2 waitresses that get distracted in conversation. I once waited 20 minutes for 2 take away coffees and then was giving then in a ceramic mug! After asking twice I was in a hurry so very inconvenient for me. The 2 waitresses were busy chatting behind the counter on a busy time, so disappointed at this. I never went for a take awua coffee again. But go for breakfast from time to time.This place is amazing 👏 food is top 😋 the new waitress Alison is amazing great service and great at her job very efficient.

The Floury Apron
Cork
22/07/2025: One of the best delis I've ever visited here in Ireland! The space is super bright, spacious, well-organized, and full of small details that make all the difference—perfect for relaxing or working.
The chef is incredible: super attentive, and you can tell she loves what she does. Her flour-covered apron is almost a testament to her dedication to the kitchen. The food is delicious, with great vegetarian options. If I could eat here every day, I'd easily become a vegetarian!
The salads are incredible, super fresh and full of flavor—and the dressings? They're on a whole other level! They enhance everything with creativity and balance.
The sandwiches are varied and delicious, and the pastries... besides being beautiful, are made locally and have an unforgettable flavor.
I highly recommend them! 🍴✨
09/07/2025: I have been trying for years to find a bakery in Cork that could prepare a southern-style caramel cake, a flavour of cake my wife loves because it reminds her of her childhood in the US. Most bakeries I contacted turned me down immediately because it would mean trying an unfamiliar recipe. At The Floury Apron, they not only took on my custom order, but stayed in contact with me for the couple weeks leading up to my wife's birthday while they tried out the first-time recipe and then asking what finishing touches I wanted in terms of decoration. The cake was exactly what we wanted, gorgeously decorated and tasted amazing! We were just blown away by the personal effort made by The Floury Apron to make this happen for us. Will 100% be coming back to them for any future cake orders!

Cork & Fork
Cork
03/07/2025: Beautiful restaurant and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and served quickly.
The potato and leek soup was amazing, it came with homemade Guinness soda bread which was unreal.
The salmon was cooked beautifully and the ratatouille and potato wedges were flavorful. The steak sandwich plate was loaded with chips and a refreshing salad/coleslaw combo.
The only downside was they were playing dance/club music which didn’t quite fit with the atmosphere and was quite loud.
Highly recommend stopping in for lunch if you wouldn’t mind the music!
22/06/2025: We hosted a bachelorette party at this restaurant and it couldn’t have gone better!
The staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect — the food was absolutely amazing. The service was warm and professional. Huge thanks to the whole team (and a special shoutout to the person who made that incredible cake!). All the guests had a fantastic time.
Whether you’re planning a special event or just looking for a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!
