18/03/2025: Fantastic shop food amazing staff brilliant 👏

13/03/2025: Got 2 hot chicken rolls you think for the price you’d get fresh ones had to be reheated in the oven which made the chicken hard rubber texture nearly 14€ for two rolls that where like eating a brick .

19/03/2025: Food is nice but portions are tiny. 3 breakfasts and coffees for myself and 2 teens.62 euros and everyone was hungry afterwards. If I'm paying 17 euro per breakfast I don't want to be hungry at the end of it!

15/03/2025: Best coffee in da collig by a long shot! Gutted ye are closed sun/monday. ☕

23/03/2025: You are selling drinks and food without toilet. Terrible!!! Or you have toilet but dont say a password of exit. Maybe you like when people is peeing around your business :)

06/03/2025: Brilliant venue for family entertainment in Curraheen. The bar and restaurant are amazing. I would highly recommend

28/02/2025: It is a great idea for an evening with friends or family. Now, I rank the food at 4 point, I thought the quality was slipping a bit, but overall, it's a really great experience, highly recommend. Watch out for deals on their website or newsletter which they email.

06/03/2025: Loved it so friendly, a lovely spot with a great pint!

01/01/2025: Charming, warm, homely, stripped back old-style pub. Wonderful experience and oasis right in the middle of the cacophony of Cork city centre. Friendly vibe, no tvs, no music just the real deal Irish pub. You’d never know who you might bump into with such an eclectic clientele of local and international.

23/02/2025: Got a fresh cream cake from here, fully gone off, In the fridge since the moment we got it. Absolutely disgusting

22/01/2025: Brackens is always good and reliable. Love the sandwiches here and the bins a bit too much.

01/04/2025: Food is usually amazing and I was looking forward to having my lunch in there so i was very disappointed. I don't want to give it low stars as it may have just been an off day for them. I asked for a quesadilla but when i ordered i realized they don't do them anymore. The staff member (short brown haired woman) was very nice (at this point) and said it was ok that they can make it. They did not have to make it for me and if they couldn't then i would of been happy to order just a wrap as the food is usually perfect. I do want to iterate that it was a special request and it was not on the menu. This was a request from me and I should of just ordered from the menu. The leaf and bean profile picture is a quesadilla that i would usual have but it didn't look like that. My mam ordered a ham and cheese toasty and that came down within 5 minutes but after about 20 minutes of sitting there I had to ask the server where my food was and at this point she was a bit rude to me and didn't acknowledge that I had been waiting 20 minutes for my order. I waited another 5-6 minutes and once it came down to the table it looked as though it was sitting out for the 20 minutes and was just heated up. I ate a bit of it but it just wasn't nice. The chicken was flat, the tortilla was hard and very chewy. The entire thing was very flat and very oily too which made me think it was reheated because it was forgotten about. I asked the other blonde tall girl for my coffee and she dropped it down . The coffee is amazing in Leaf and Bean and would recommend it as the best coffee in town. I didn't touch the rest of my meal and no one came down to me to see if everything was ok. I noticed the brown haired server who took the order looking at my direction while she was polishing cutlery but she didn't seem too bothered. I wanted to wait until it was quiet to pay and to say something about my food .i went up to the till and the tall blonde girl was amazed i didn't want to pay for food i didn't eat. The brown haired woman who served me tutted at me and told her to get the owner and made it clear i was a nuisance. I spoke to the owner who was happy to take the food off the bill once i had explained why i didn't eat it. I felt as though the customer service was really bad and not of the standard that it usually is. I have worked in the hospitality for many years when i was younger and I have never made a customer feel like the way i was treated today by the floor staff. The customer is not always right but there is a way to deal with customers and try and listen to them and be attentive to them when they have concerns. I would eat from leaf and bean again but i don't think i will be sitting in to eat again , I will be going for a takeaway.

22/03/2025: Lovely place for a coffee and some reading time
