There is free wifi. We ordered a blueberry muffin, a lemon muffin, an orange cake and a latte. The pastries were amazing.

Don't expect a big fancy menu, as the options are limited yet delicious, with some very interesting veggie-friendly options. ;) I don't quite know how often they change the lunch menu, but the existence of a daily special implies that there must be some new interesting new dishes to try every so often. A mistake I did and should prevent you from doing: save space for the post-meal coffee! They are delicious. Try the Viennese coffee - espresso topped with whipped cream! Nomnomnom. The big downside is that they don't accept cards, only cash - so make sure to pass by an ATM before coming here. I know, I know, that's bad. The super friendly staff will help you feel like it's worth it. :)

Cute, spacious cafe with hearty portions and sweet treats. Came here for brunch after arriving in…read moreCork on an early morning train, so a heavy meal was exactly needed. The cafe was busy even though it was Monday, but we got seated within 5 minutes. Indoor seating and takeaway available. The waitresses were nice and I liked the decor. I got the smoked salmon on scrambled eggs with brown bread, while my friend got the Irish breakfast. Neither of us could finish our plates, which were substantial. My dish was on the saltier side; it looked like the tables around us were order more of the sweet items. Overall, it's a cute spot that's good for friends as well as families.

Consistently dissapointing. The first time I visited here, there was about a 40 minute wait, which…read morewas completely understandable as I hadn't made a reservation and the place was busy. When I was seated my server was friendly and promptly took my order. Then the wait began. 30 minutes, one hour, and then an hour and 30 minutes. I was tryiny to be patient as I noticed no one was getting their food. I figured maybe the kitchen was really backed up. It was then I saw patrons who had been seated after I had been getting their food. My server then came up to be and apologetically said they had forgotten to put my order in. I was tempted to wait longer but was incredibly hungry by this point. I went to the front desk, explained the situation, and asked to pay for my cider and go. The woman there sighed and told me to "just go" no apology, no semblance of professionalism just irritation. I have tried several times to go back but unfortunately have been met with the same dismissive attitude. Overall, it's a no for me.

The restaurant is very nice & spacious, I love the decor in VELO and just felt very relaxed here. The staff were very friendly, but we were waiting a long time to be served, about 15 to 20 minutes, the place was quiet and didn't have many customers while we were there, so I don't understand why we were waiting for so long for the staff to take our order. I'm giving 3 stars cause I enjoyed the food & coffee, but it is expensive and waiting ages for the staff the take our order

Go to their Food Shop (open 'til 6.00pm) and stock up on a readymade meal or two. I will certainly be doing that after my recent experience. Called in to take a browse and got great help from a smiling on the ball assistant who gave me a run down on the huge range of goodies in jars and tubs (a terrific tasting plum jam, up for sampling that morning, and pickled cucumbers among them ), also the homemade cakes and breads and the food for the freezer that I was interested in. Must admit though that my purchases, two cartons of Chicken Korma (5.50 each), never made it to the freezer. The temptation was too much and we used them the following night! It was absolutely top class. As I said, I'll be back and heartily recommend the shop to anyone who wishes to dine at home and treat themselves. Each carton contained sufficient for one person. There was ample chicken and the other ingredients in this moderately spiced dish were Onion, Coconut Milk, Sugar, Yoghurt, Butter, Ginger, Tomatoes, Garlic, Green Saffron Korma Spices. Just lovely. Now for the Boeuf Bourguignon! And then.....

In August we enjoyed an Oceania cruise that stopped at beautiful Cork, Ireland…read more From there we took an excursion to the quaint town of Kinsale, Ireland. It was so colorful because all the shops and cafes were painted different colors. Our favorite place in Kinsale was the Milk Market Cafe. We enjoyed their outdoor seating on a pedestrian street. Another traveler in our group recommended the Apple Cake. It was divine! The apple slices were cut very thin and it was topped with delightful crunchies. The crust was light and soft. The apple cake was like a wonderful tart and was served warm with a scoop of home-made vanilla ice cream...oh my! It was SO good! Eating it on the outdoor seating, on a perfect 70 degree sunny day, was equally delightful. Don't miss the little shops nearby and definitely dont miss the Apple Cake at "Milk Market Cafe" in Kinsale!
