Banana Bread

This was the only #vegan option available and it was one of the best #banana #breads I've had yet.
I ate the two thick slices as they were, the moist bread didn't need anything else. I got the true banana flavour and no baking powder aftertaste.
This modern, contemporary space is popular in the morning with the locals getting their coffee fix.

Cons: Only one vegan option

No Vegan Options for Lunch

I went for lunch and ordered a Buddha Bowl, staff confirmed it was vegan and chicken was optional and had extra charge
I received the bowl with chicken. When I said I asked it vegan, they said the grains were cooked with chicken stock and they had no vegan options for lunch
After waiting for 20 min for my food, I had to leave

Pros: Nice place for coffee, that’s all

Cons: Expensive , No Vegan Options

No vegan breakfast option, 1 lunch option

Unfortunately this place is not good for vegans, unless you just want a coffee, or the only vegan thing on the menu was a vegan bean burger. I'm not sure why it's advertised as a good vegan brunch place, there were no vegan breakfast/brunch options this morning. Much better places to go in Cork.

Cons: Only 1 vegan dish

Few options available

They have some options (supposedly a vegan croissant, but was already sold out) banana bread, power balls and a vegetarian sandwich. They have oat and coconut milk for lattes.

Pros: Some vegan options, Nice staff

Cons: Not many options

Vegan crossisants

Go there often before work. They have a lovely staff, plant-based milk and other vegan treats sometimes.
