We walked by and the coffee smelt so good, decided to do our last breakfast in Tralee here…read more I stuck with my usual of the full Irish and got: - Ashes Sausage: this was darn tasty - Ashes white pudding: if Chicken Pate and Chicken sausages had a love child, this would be it - so good and creamy! Best white pudding eaten on the trip so far! - Killorglin smoked bacon: smoky and crispy and oh so good. My co-diners ordered extra!! - Jack McCarthy black pudding: I tried to take a pic of the ruby-red and purple colour and failed. It was elegant and lovely. - Ardfert free range eggs: the richness and yellow yolks were divine - grilled tomato: decent, might be weakest part of the brekkie - tomato chutney: I licked this clean and got seconds. Perfect blend of spices, onions, tomatoes and sultanas. I would just go and get this and eat it with good Irish cheddar cheese - toast: two different varieties and crisp - freshly roasted filter coffee: fantastically light roast. All for €9,95!! This was the first full Irish breakfast I ate where I walked up and felt perfectly full but not stuffed. The Roast House has my vote for the #1 Irish breakfast in Tralee with Yummy Cafe as #2. We also got tempted by their desserts and the Walnut coffee cake was divine! It had properly fresh cream frosting, whipped light as air, moist cake and we demolished it plus took cappuccino to go. Absolutely recommend and would go again when/if in Tralee again! Note: #275 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

My partner and I went here for dinner tonight after seeing how highly rated it is. It's definitely…read moreworth all of those ratings! This pizza was so delicious and reasonably priced. The people working here (possibly the owners?) are so friendly and sweet and were willing to make accommodations for dietary restrictions. I got the champignone pizza with no ham and my partner got the vegetarian pizza. We also finished with a tiramisu. The food came out super quickly and we got to watch it be baked in the oven. The dough was so fresh and crispy and the toppings were fresh and delicious. I loved my pizza so much and was sad when it was gone. We also got some garlic oil and fresh Parmesan to drizzle on top which only elevated the pizzas more. The tiramisu was heavenly and was exactly what I am craving when I'm craving tiramisu. The restaurant is small but cozy, off the Main Street a little so it's not too loud with the door open. There are five tables inside and a bar area along the wall so plenty of seating to choose from. Many people stopped in to order takeaway or called for delivery while we were here so it's clear they're popular. I loved eating here and would definitely come back. If you want some local pizza, go here!

We stumbled in to the Bookshelf as it looks like a little cafe, with lots of people popping in for coffee to go, but a few tables for diners. The line moved fast, and we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich, broccoli sweet potato soup, and a sausage roll. The service was fast and we received our food pretty quickly after sitting down. The cafe interior is pretty small and tight, and has one bathroom which opens out into the queue for the counter. It was really cold in there, not comfortable for a long lazy lunch - better for a quick bite-and-go. The food is good.

The whole place was decked out in Halloween decorations, and the atmosphere was very lively. I ordered the lucha libre and an iced strawberry matcha, and I must say that this was one of my favorite meals in Cork. The lucha libre is an incredibly heavy meal, so I didn't finish it, but the potatoes were crispy, the chorizo was flavorful, and the sauce had a nice kick to it. I don't put too much weight on the matcha, but it was definitely more milk than matcha. But the strawberry flavor was nice.

Firstly, I wanted a full fry-up breakie. I'm afraid to say your won't get that here. What you'll get are, delicious rolls that I'm guessing walk out the door during lunch time rush hour! They kindly told us where to go. There suggestion was spot on. So, we had to come back for coffee. As a thank you. Once we came back, I had to try the black pudding and sausage rolls. Delishious. I've never since these sexy pasties before. Where have they been?? When I come back to cork. I'll be coming back here. (although, I'm here for another day. So, you lads will see me tomorrow!!) Tip to the lads -- open up in Dublin. Asap. What a way to represent great service to your customers. I'm sure you will build a loyal base for years to come.

Some dodgy characters inside too. Coffee is not great. It seems to be made half-arsedly and the work station is always filthy no matter how busy or quiet it is. I will say that some of their cakes etc. are nice and the menu design is pretty cool. As for pricing I can't say much, I think it's alright. Now the staff are what really turn me off about this place. They're all a bunch of a**holes. They're always so rude and gossip about customers, I've never been greeted with a smile or even a hello here, just a "what do you want?" I was also charged twice, even though the card machine clearly said 'accepted' the first time round. In conclusion, please avoid this place. Your money would be much better spent elsewhere.
