    Beef melt and americano
    Sarah S.

    Cute cafe we found! Sat in the back covered, outdoor area. We all loved everything we ate. Open smoked salmon sandwich with avocado, Beef melt (spicy), and coronation chicken wrap! Recommend it all!

    Amazing place to read a book and the manager here was super helpful in accommodating my allergies. I wanted a simple cup of coffee and after being rejected by numerous cafes, the manager helped me find something that works, made it himself, and then let me use the milk carton to pour milk in my coffee. He went above and beyond what was necessary and it was greatly appreciated

    Now I'm not religious but the Lemon Leaf Cafe made me throw my hands up and sing Hallelujah in this, the Church of Breakfast! The boy and I had been up since 3:30am for our early flight to Cork and by 8:30 were in desperate need of feeding. We drove straight to Kinsale from the airport and immediately found the Lemon Leaf Cafe amongst the maze of little streets. It looked lovely from the outside and boasted a decent breakfast menu so we went straight in to be greeted by friendly faces and quickly sorted out with a pot of tea. The boy opted for a hearty bowl of porridge followed by a cheese, ham and mushroom omelette while I dived right in with a full Irish breakfast (well, 'When in Rome (Cork)') You certainly can taste the difference between fresh produce and our supermarket malarkey back home. I was served up a plate of heaven - thick cut bacon, juicy pork sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, the freshest eggs with unbelievably yellow yolks and two slices of thick, fresh white toast. Himself was equally delighted with his hot porridge which came with a little bowl of dried fruit to mix in, and his omelette was off-the-scale. Their eggs must be laid by the goddess of all hens. All in all we left full, warmed and happy. First in a long line of great feeds while in Cork and I'm already dreaming of my future holiday home out there, close to the Clonakilty white pudding and fresh eggs! That's the life for me!

    French toast & bacon!

    A healthy option breakfast nook on the side streets of Kinsale. Lovely little shop that's perfect for a quiet morning munch with friends or just a solid imaginary tale. If you're a brunch person, they've got you covered on that too and they even offer pick up if you're out and about walking the pets. If I could wake up every morning with the type of setting they offer at Lemon Leaf, I would quickly become a morning person.

    BLT with veggie chips
    Nick S.

    Lemon Leaf serves up a mighty fine lunch, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed that their BLT doesn't come with crispy bacon like with their breakfast items. I'm as big a fan of rashers as an American can be, but a BLT calls for crispy bacon like a mother eagle calling to her babies as they soar out from the nest. Aside from that small snafu, this cafe shines. The front is cozy like a tea room, and the back opens up bright and airy with skylights and a small courtyard. The desserts are on display and highly decadent. They also have free, blazingly-fast wifi. (password is above the desserts)

    Vegetarian Breakfast

    This is a charming, surprisingly spacious cafe with great food and kind servers. My wife and I had the vegetarian breakfast and it came with plenty of food. They were able to sit all 8 in our party together, which has been a struggle in Kinsale.

    I wish I could eat here every morning! Everything we ordered and every detail of the ambience was perfection. If you're visiting Kinsale, you must go here! The staff were lovely and so helpful. The ingredients were local, fresh, and unique. The marmalade, the jams, the pastries, everything was delectable. I love eggs Benedict and this did not disappoint in the least.

    My amazing traditional fry
