Firstly because we're not trying any of the tasty looking cakes, scores or brownies so I have no idea if they taste as good as they look and secondly because the tea is just ok. The coffee is good though. Now on to lunch... We ordered sausage sandwiches. Not the healthiest of options but we still have q drive ahead of us. Holy god. Soft, thick-cut white bread slathered with GARLIC butter and three delicious fat herby sausages inside. I am stuffed, I'm so full. Accompanied by a lovely salad and a small bowl of chips which I've had to leave and served by the cutest smiley waitress, the owner's young daughter. The decor is cute and very comfortable with mostly wooden tables and chairs and a sofa area that we snagged for ourselves. There's decking out front for sitting in the sunshine which is full today. Paintings, some for sale by local artists I presume line the walls and there is a mix of recent pop music played unobtrusively in the background.

"THE BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!!"…read more 5 Stars. Five. If I could give more I would. If you love breakfast, you need to take a trip to Midleton, Co Cork. At The Pantry, you'll be served what can only be described as The most serious contender for BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!! This is not something I take lightly. I have enjoyed far too many a Full Irish's up and down our fair island...and I'm not joking - SO MANY breakfasts. But never have been inspired to put my feelings about any meal in writing...nevermind post them online. Until now. I first wandered into The Pantry just over a year ago looking for a breakfast...we were met a smile and welcome from Gordon who runs the show. He was quick to find us a comfortable table with plenty space for our buggy (a high chair was available but we didn't need it) and to bring us some tea and coffee (both great by the way). We each ordered the Full Irish. Breakfasts are cooked to order and service is efficient and attentive. Food arrived in good time. Respectively, each item on each plate was cooked perfectly. Food was out of a frying pan and not a deep fryer. Each meal came with tea/coffee and toast...as it should do. We got to speak with Gordon after our meal. He told us about his experience running the The Pantry, about how they bake their own bread daily, about all the different local suppliers..for the sausages, for the bacon, for the pudding, etc. The Pantry is a bright and welcoming cafe/bistro serving a tempting variety of foods throughout the day. Go for a coffee and a cake of go for The BEST FULL IRISH you're ever likely to be served...go for the welcome alone...just go. FIVE STARS. 5! Following that, and in the interest of a fair and impartial review, I should mention the negatives: Each time I visit, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that I live 161 and a half miles away (260km)...and I can never help but think about how long it might be before I'll be able to get another breakfast here. That's me. That's my review. Cheers Gordo. You're the man.

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.
