11/06/2026: Friendly staff, delicious smoothies

25/04/2026: Great place with lovely food and friendly staff.food is great and their fresh cakes

18/03/2026: Best breakfast roll I had in a long time

19/05/2026: I was part of a school reunion here last week. From start to finish we were so well looked after. We had the downstairs lounge to ourselves. Daire was simply outstanding in terms of engagement and service. I am looking forward to a return visit

16/05/2026: Great place to arrange to meet friends

17/08/2026: A group of us went there yesterday and what a joke!!We ordered well before another table and their food came out way before ours and when we asked why we were told because they didn't order starters and we did! Waited over 30 minutes for starters! They'll offer you poppadoms before the meal as if they are free and charge you 6 euros per plate!No sign of poppadoms on the menu btw! Waited another 40 minutes for our main course!Wasn't that busy 1 of our group actually told them not to bother after they brought just his rice after 40 minutes then his dish 10 minutes later,he told them to take it back Then on leaving trying to charge us for naan bread we never got! The worst organised restaurant i was ever at! The food(when it eventually arrives)is good but by that time frustration and hunger is on a high Ill never ever go back there,amateur hour ir should say 2 Avoid this experience

08/08/2026: Had an amazing chicken Murgh Makhani, the best one I’ve had in a long time. They also had a nice complimentary appetizer and the ambience was great.

27/07/2026: The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We were always warmly welcomed, which was a real plus! We ate there several times and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The dining room is comfortable with a wide selection, and the food is of very high quality. Honestly, I highly recommend it.

08/04/2026: It's ashame this pub is closing tonight because it is one of the nicest pubs in Cork City the food i had was perfect Heineken zero beautiful. Ok the service wasn't the best tonight but i guess that was to be expected with staff loosing there jobs. The pub was busy they were short staff. I really hope someone buys this pub. It has serious potential. Anytime i walked past this place it was busy it just needs to new ownership and management train new staff the food is perfect.

28/09/2025: One of my favorite places to have a lovely coffee and amazing desserts. Staff is always very friendly.

13/09/2025: Server was lovely. But! I got ONE spoon of granola in my açai bowl which was kind of ridiculous. For €10.50 I should be getting at least three spoons. The barista made a great coffee but like price for return is non existent. Could be great as the location is handy and the cafe itself is lovely inside. Potentially a great place, but not quite there.

21/07/2026: Love all their branches. Always a solid flat white.

05/05/2026: Very tasty flat white with local coffee and milk alternatives, and delicious toasted sandwiches. Great service and atmosphere too. Thank ye :)

10/03/2026: Good food good service everyday going there to take away chicken satay

17/02/2026: amazing food and customer service! spicy bag!!!!😛👍🏻

07/08/2026: I ordered the frittata which was cold after waiting ages I asked to have it heated up and it was still barely warm. It's a lovely place delicious food but the wait is very long when busy. Lady at the counter very nice. I wish they did coffee ☕️ top ups as coffee cups are small. Love the variety of delicious food + nice wee shop there.🌻

13/07/2026: Food is excellent, staff can be overwhelmed if a bit disconnected from customers as it's a very busy spot

23/08/2026: I went to Marina Market Eco two days ago. I ordered cheese curry chips and the cheese smelled and tasted absolutely disgusting, like it was gone off.When I complained, the staff member was rude and replaced the food, but I was completely put off eating it and couldn’t finish it.I’m very disappointed that food like this was served, I want to raise awareness to the issue so other people don't have this awful experience

05/08/2026: The service was 4/5 👍. Unfortunately, twice we were served food that belonged to another table, but I understand that mistakes happen, and it was actually quite funny. Unfortunately, my burger was very dry and in places badly burnt, which made it taste bitter. Even worse, my daughter's chicken sandwich contained a bone! Thankfully, it didn't end with a broken tooth.

27/08/2026: The açai blows are amazing rate them at 12 out of 10

24/08/2026: The only positive thing is that the girls make the coffee quickly. Other than that, the coffee was just very average, nothing special. It was very milky and had a strange metallic aftertaste. I bought it twice, and both times it tasted weird. If nothing else is open in the area, I might get it again, but I wouldn’t come back here just for the coffee.

29/08/2026: Lovely proper pub in Cork city.

28/06/2026: This place is a must. Great old pub and the staff are great too.

02/08/2026: We walked upon this pizzeria and there the magic happened ! Our son was able to order a gluten free pizza after years of not being able to have a pizza in a restaurant ! What a great way to start the holiday ! The pizzas are really good, savoury, lovely staff. Location in a cute typical Cork street. We loved it all! Thank you ❤️

28/06/2026: Douglas, Avoid if you want your delivery any bit warm. After 1 hour the food tracker said he'll be with me in 1 minute. That was fine. There was another 20 mins while it was saying 1 minute. It was delivered by deliveroo by a driver with no English so couldn't complain. Food was stone cold. I rang Oakfire douglas to complain and was told its not there problem and to take it up with deliveroo, basically they said there job is only to cook it , not deliver it. I asked them if they would send out a fresh warm order and i was again told, not their problem.

07/09/2026: exceptional food and brilliant service. the waiters are very friendly. recommend the sharing option for two, massively

05/09/2026: Bummed the waitress was so inflexible about changing the sauce I wanted on my enchiladas. 1st time any restaurant has been so rigid about such a minor thing. Food quality was good, but flavors not for me. Except the black bean soup was really good.
