seeds bakery
Kinsale
01/01/2026: Found this place on TikTok, and the pastries did not disappoint! Such a stunning selection and all excellent.
31/12/2025: Quick purchase on the way to the bus. Ate when arrived in Cork. Bun tasted like it was from a "too good to go" but without the discount. Sausage roll much better, however expected more taste for the price.

Jo's Café & Rooms
Kinsale
21/12/2025: Yummy coffee, hot chocolate, and cakes. Been two weekends in a row now so we can sample more of the cake selections.
17/11/2025: My wife and I were in kinsale for a day. We walked around and found Jo's Cafe. Everything looked delicious. We ordered Carrot cake , orange cake and raspberry scones because we couldn't decide. We were so glad we bought them all. Hands down the best scone in Ireland . The carrot cake was to die for and the orange cake was a new taste I never experienced and was glad I did. If your in Kinsale dont miss out.
