20/09/2025: Great spot, had a lovely sausage roll and then very nice coffee cake and Chai latte. Only thing is the place is popular so it's often full. I went around 11 on a Monday and by 12 it was full up

15/09/2025: It is my favourite coffee shop (and imo the best one) in Cork. The staff is the best. So lovely! The coffee is amazing. Always on point. They've got some bites if you're hungry (the chef/baker is amazing) and the sweets... 🤤 The sweets!!! That brownie is by far the best I've had around here. Some of the best coffee shop cakes in Cork for sure. Oh and the friendly atmosphere... Highly recommended! ❤️

12/09/2025: The best place in Cork for breakfast. The food and service is phenomenal.

10/09/2025: First Irish breakfast in Ireland! I got the godfather and it was perfectly portioned, comes with tea, and I just love how thick the hash browns are here. This restaurant is bustling with locals and very busy. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, but outdoor is much more limited.

17/10/2025: I was having breakfast this morning, I order eggs Benedict, and I think the rashers were cooked the last year. Be careful with the ingredients guys.. it's really annoying.

16/10/2025: Lovely atmosphere. Street side seating also.

25/10/2025: Owner stole my seat while gone to get drinks for me and a friend and threatened to kick us out if we didn't comply. Don't come here on a busy night.

23/10/2025: Pint in the morning top quality Guinness

17/11/2025: The best cafe in town! Beautiful staff who are always so welcoming and kind. Great coffee and delicious veggie options. Views over the river are an added bonus.

04/11/2025: I had a really nice mocha , perfect for a rainy day. The place is small and cozy, which I liked. However, the service was a bit slow and disorganized, and the staff didn’t seem very friendly. Still, it’s a nice spot to relax with a good coffee.

09/11/2025: Nice restaurant, steak bavette was delicious and chocolate tart very tasty. Lovely service.

27/10/2025: We stumbled on this restaurant after not being able to get into a different one. It was a great find! The food was incredible, the staff was amazing, and they were extremely kid-friendly! They provided us with a great experience on a busy evening, getting us in quickly even though we did not have a reservation.

09/11/2025: It’s a fantastic place , ideal for a getaway, weather with family or for a couple or even alone .

08/11/2025: It’s the little things that count and In many of these Fota are failing. One of our party ordered a coffee and asked for a biscuit to accompany it but was told you can’t have a biscuit until after 4- how stupid is that! At dinner steaks were only offered ho share for 2 people- crazy! In general the food was fine but not fantastic and certainly not great value for money. If you charge top prices you need to deliver top class food! Three times during our one night stay the room key failed to open the door which required another trip to reception for a new key. For a 5 star hotel this is simply not acceptable Fota resort needs to up its game and certainly improve its F/ B offering so I’m afraid it’s only 3 stars from me
