Lots of shopping and food. Plenty of restaurants and coffee spots. This area has so much to offer if you are looking to spend some time shopping or eating. Value varies due to the store; there's some high end and some cheap stores. Service will vary also depending on where you go.

They even have a Kids Summer Camp Cooking School. Called there the other morning and met two smiling ladies. Stated my requirements and they moved off confidently to get it. But, believe it or not, they didn't have it. I was told it was on order and would be there in a few days. I think they were more disappointed that I was. Still, I enjoyed my friendly visit. I have been there in the past and will be there in the future. They usually have what you want and provide their service with a smile and a chat.

While we were in Blarney, Cork, Ireland, we visited the largest Irish shop in the world!! Blarney…read moreWoollen Mills Baby!! This shop has been around since about 1823 (I believe). Pretty impressive! We only had about 30 minutes to browse Blarney Woollen Mills. In that time, Wifey found a very cool jacket to purchase at an affordable price point. In that time, she also forgot her sunglasses at the shop. We already faraway from the shop when she realized that she misplaced it. She immediately called the shop, but by that time the sunglasses were nowhere to be found. The employee who answered the phone was not very helpful or sympathetic though. Very sad and disappointing customer service!!! Despite the loss of my wife's beloved sunglasses, it was still an okay experience overall. This shop carrys all kinds of clothes, crafts, food, plus so much more. Blarney Woollen Mills is known as having the great Irish Shopping Experience after all. Absolutely check this place out after you kiss the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle of course. Just don't forget any of your possessions while you are here because chances are great that they will be unable to help you.

I remember it having all the souvenirs you could want, including wool - at reasonable prices. We visited again after Blarney Castle but we had limited time since it closes at 6 PM and we got there at around 5:30. I managed to find a cute little sheep stuffy for my daughter, and an ornament for my sister. I remember buying wool the last time I was here. If I had more time to shop, I probably would have done more damage, so maybe it was a good thing the store was at closing time.

I ended up getting a discovery kit and the lovely salesperson printed out a custom label for me and threw in some tiny sample vials. It made me a fan for life and the little custom label indicating where I bought it is the only reason I remembered where I bought it. They were near closing and I wasn't rushed out, 5 stars for customer service.

I have visited the local shop multiple times during my semester in Cork and each time I am delighted to get lost in expansive bookshelves! The shop has a great selection of both used and new books and makes buying lots of books easy with plenty of mix and match deals ensuring you get the most bang for your buck! Vibes & Scribes is one of those stores where you walk in not knowing exactly what you'll discover. I repeatedly find books that I've been meaning to read as well as books I've never heard of but want to dive into! I can't bring myself to walk past the shop without stopping in, especially on rainy days (which are common in Ireland) spent meandering downtown. The staff is also incredibly helpful and friendly. I remember on my first stop into the shop, the cashier asked my friend and I about how we were enjoying Cork and gave us some local recommendations for restaurants and live music. Next time you're looking for your next great read, you'll be able to find it at Vibes & Scribes!
