Coffee and book

dcork

Any good place/cafe in Cork where I can grab a coffee and read a book? I am looking for a quiet coffee place if available.

There is a place on McCurtain street, dont know the name of it but tis on the side where the Fish Wife next to Cash Convertors.Only called in for a juice but was a nice small cozyish spot and they have books there that you can swop for others, take one and leave one me thinks

there's a new place on George's Quay, looks cosy and quiet and some serious coffee on sale. The name escapes me at the moment though.

Cork Coffee Roasters on Bridge st of course.

There's also the one on the South Mall, just by the Imperial Hotel. Lovely spot.

Its Filter, they use the golden bean coffee and badger and dojo beans, what's nice is they have three bean varieties everyday two On fresh brewed and one on a drip.

If it's The bookshelf your on about its very nice me and a few friends from college spent an hour upstairs in the tiny room having coffee and their cakes are amazing, and very decent sized portions.

would have to agree with the bookshelf.. they bake all their scones fresh in the morning & dam tasty, nice and relaxed, like you can get a boiled egg and toast as well

I like the coffee shop in the Crawford Gallery. It can be busy at lunch time but mid morning or mid afternoon it is very pleasant.

Gulpd is an anagram of Plugd, the record shop upstairs!

+1 on the Bookshelf, I popped in there recently and had a nice relaxing coffee watching the South Mall suits pass by.

Is the book shelf new? I have never heard of it before. It sounds really good. I am always looking for nice places near the South Mall as I often having meetings there and time to kill.

was a womens clothes shop for a bit and then it closed down, and opended as a coffee shop, nice big couch/arm chairs, relaxing. no fuss about it & wifi there as well, and always a smell of baking.

you'd be lucky to get a seat in there, too busy and too noisy for reading IMO.

Filter looks really interesting to me, do they actually have filtered/drip coffee rather the everywhere americano?

So hard to get something that's not bitter to bits without drowning it in milk and syrup.

Bookshelf looks a nice spot to hole up in, been meaning to spend a morning there 'working remotely.
