Caffè Nero
Cork
01/09/2026: Moody as staff and the mocha was trash. Asked about the bathroom and got pointed moodily to the disabled one (which had no toilet paper) and then told them they had no tp and got pointed to the right bathroom where I had to wait on a stall because a member of staff was using the customer stall for some reason instead of the staff one? Strange place.
15/07/2026: A quiet, spacious place to enjoy a good cup of tea in the best company.

4 star pizza ballincollig
Cork
31/07/2026: I Ordered pizza as per the meal deal advertised outside the door. 2 x medium pizzas. I also ordered dips and was charged €25.
When I got the receipt, I saw that the dips were free but they charged me €25 for the €21.95 deal.
I asked the girl that served me and she said that deal wasn't available anymore.
But the sign outside the door said it was?
It's €3, not a big deal, but it's clearly advertised as €21.95.
I got no satisfaction from the girl that served me, I have emailed directly and no one has been able to answer me as to why this happened.
28/03/2026: After a slight issue with the pizza we ordered, we received stellar customer service to remedy the issue and were delighted with the support we received from the staff today.
The food itself was exactly what we would expect from Four Star but tasted all the better because of the brilliant experience.
Will be returning!

Curry House
Cork
22/05/2026: Has been my regular for a few years now. Never let me down. Food is always amazimg and delivery is fast!
06/05/2026: Charged for an order on their website which they claimed not to have received. They didn't seem particularly concerned, had to get a refund from yoyo and wait 3-5 days. Curry house didn't seem to be aware they have an online ordering system.

The Bookshelf Coffee House
Cork
18/08/2026: Amazing. I've been trying to find any cafe in the city that would make me my go to drink, the London Fog (Earl Grey latte). These guys figured it out with enthusiasm. I explained it to them and they made me a cup of lavender milk and a pit of Earl Grey steeped in about 1/3 pot of water, and then once steeped and mixed, it was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for being willing to be a little creative to make my day!
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more.
08/08/2026: The coffee didn’t taste like coffee; it was very sour and watery. The waiters were very attentive and did their best.

Dialogue Cafe

Ramen
Cork
01/06/2026: We had Chicken Pad Thai. They made me a gluten-free version. Plus, there's gluten-free soy sauce and sriracha on every table. The flavor was incredible, with fresh ingredients. Water pitchers and glasses are available free of charge.
The service is fast and attentive. I would definitely go back.
03/03/2026: My partner and I have been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The food is very reasonably priced and always super tasty. The staff are attentive, friendly, and create a welcoming atmosphere every time even if super busy.
Our special compliments go to the store manager, Jay. He consistently notices the small details that others might overlook and ensures that everything runs smoothly while maintaining a warm and organized environment. His attentiveness and natural leadership are clearly reflected in the team’s attitude.
What stands out most is his thoughtful and composed approach. He leads with confidence, fairness, and genuine care — qualities that are valuable. One can see that he takes pride in his work and sets high standards, not through pressure, but through example.
It’s truly refreshing to see such professionalism combined with authenticity. Jay is a real asset, and his dedication does not go unnoticed.
Thanks again Ramen.

Atlas
Cork
04/04/2026: Perfect! The ambient, the drinks, sounds, the staffs are so lovely
18/03/2026: Usually like it here, the music, people and atmosphere. I was in there Patrick's day and went out for air for the security to say I had to wait in line even though I was already inside, I had my drink and all. My friends and i decided to leave and won't be going back any time soon. Get your act together security.

Ali Baba
Cork
19/07/2026: Fresh food, great value, and friendly service! I went around lunch time and got 2 meals worth of food for only 10 euro! I stayed behind after to chat with the only employee working that day and ended up having a great conversation with him!
Would recommend :)
11/07/2026: I don't understand the bad reviews. It's my first time ordering from here (through a 3rd party delivery app.),
Best chicken kebab I ever had. Everything was so fresh and good quality. The naan was so light and tasty and toasted to perfection. The chicken was fresh, moist and lovely. Sauces are tasty and delicious. All the veggies felt as fresh as if I have made it at home.
I also ordered garlic and cheese fries, which had real cheese and a very tasty garlic sauce. Potatoes were very good quality, fresh, medium to chunky thickness, no floury taste.
I wil definitely order again, this food hits all the checkboxes for me.
Thank you for the team at Ali Baba - this was such a great culinary experience!

Domino's Pizza

23/05/2026: I have ordered often but never again. Pizza burnt and chicken wings raw. I do not recommend!!!
01/05/2026: Ordered a large pizza, got toppings only in the inner pizza the outer pizza is was mostly empty with just cheese. Asked dominos spices but it was full of salt? I don't know how they managed to make pizza this bad.
Made me appreciate the dominos in my small town so much more.

Great Wall
Cork
13/05/2026: Chicken frie rice was very poor, it was boiled rice, a lot of peas and carrots and a few little bits of chicken. Didn't touch a wok in my opinion. 3 in 1 was ok. The ribs were a good portion and the sauce was nice.
04/05/2026: Got the Spicy Salt and Chilli Chips today and they had sugar on them, which I wasn’t expecting.
When I called, I was told that’s just how they make them. I said it wasn’t for me and I wouldn't order that again, but got told, 'I could find them somewhere else, thanks' and she hung up the phone. Rang back and spoke with who I believe may have been the owner/manager and was told I basically shouldn’t be calling to complain, thats how they make them for the last 25 years . He felt she wasn't rude in how she handled the call as he was next to her.
Fair enough if that’s their recipe, but the way it was handled wasn’t great.
