Reviews - Bakestone
Reviews summary
Nestled within a charming garden center, this restaurant presents a blend of delightful treats and service hiccups. Diners rave about the vibrant atmosphere and fresh offerings, particularly the breakfast items and delectable cakes. However, the dining experience is often marred by slow and disorganized service, leaving guests frustrated with long waits and table assignments. While standout dishes like eggs benedict shine, issues with certain food quality dampen enthusiasm. Overall, patrons appreciate the pleasant surroundings and occasional friendly service but hope for improvements in organization and consistency to elevate their visits.

What Ines Apodaca dislikes about Bakestone:
they are sooo slow, they do not serve a person at a time, they serve no one. the people are waiting literally, even if no one is served as they make other food, very under personal, restaurant was full empty tables, but they say they have to be allocated to a table, why? it was half empty, let them just find the people their own table, their bad process made so much harder than it had to be, only the person who serve...

"Pszna kawa i ciasta". Polecam. For a large amount of money, it is worth 5 euros. There is a super shop with plants.
Lovely place for a quick bite to eat atmosphere very warm and friendly staff extremely helpful overall very happy
Always had great service here. Great experience here today, I forgot to ask for eggs well done in my eggs florentine. They had no problem exchanging for new eggs when I realised my error. Thanks again!
Wow, what a fab find! The staff, the food, the quality, the atmosphere, the location..... excellent Highly recommend the Oat Latee and Polenta cake , the Gluten Free toast and the Mushroom soup.

Wonderful cafe to dine in. Relaxing atmosphere. Lovely and helpful staff. Comfortable seating and a great view of plants and it’s garden centre. X
Delicious savoury and sweet snacks and yummy coffee sandwiched between Meadows and Byrne and Botanic garden centre
Visited this morning for breakfast. Staff are friendly and efficient, the restaurant was spotless, and the food was very tasty and piping hot. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, the restaurant is bright and airy with plenty of room to move around. I would definitely return.

My son and I had a great time during our recent visit to this cafe. The surroundings were lovely, making it a beautiful cafe. The food selection was small but nice, and there was a good variety of desserts and cakes. My son especially loved the Nutella pancakes. The coffee was good and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed exploring the garden centre after our meal and will definitely make time to browse the shop on our next visit.
Took my family for breakfast to Bakestone at Fota Retail park as a treat. We have been in the past we’re not disappointed but seems like it was not a good day. My son’s pancakes were stodgy and hodge podge in appearance. My husband and I had stale and tough bread in our Eggs Benedict and struggled to cut through it. I hope this was a once off but am still reluctant to recommend it or visit again.
The breakfast was cold and the ordering system was complicated. We ordered the full breakfast on a Sunday around 12:30 and it came out in about five minutes, indicating it was not cooked to order. All items on the plate were cold, with the bacon being particularly unappetizing as the fat had congealed. We suspect the breakfasts were kept under a heat lamp. The ordering system was the most complicated we have encountered. We would not return for a late breakfast and do not recommend it to others. Overall, we were disappointed with the experience.
I treated myself to breakfast this morning and opted for porridge given the chilly weather. Unfortunately, it was terrible—almost like flavored water straight out of a Dickens novel. I couldn’t even finish two spoonfuls. My son had the kids’ pancakes, which were also below average. I don’t understand how they can charge so much for such poor-quality food. The setting was nice, but the breakfast was a letdown. A few months ago, I tried their waffles, and they were disappointing as well. I won’t be coming back for food here. There are plenty of lovely cafes in Midleton with much better options. I left feeling hungry and unimpressed.

I frequent this restaurant often for their delicious eggs benedict and excellent coffee. Today, I want to give a special shoutout to the waiter who kindly brought me a glass of water while I was breastfeeding. They did so without me even having to ask, showing their support for breastfeeding in public. It was truly amazing, and I want to say a big thank you.
I stopped by this restaurant for lunch before a long drive home. The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful when I called for directions because I couldn't find it easily since the restaurant is located in the center. I would definitely recommend it for its delicious food and great service.
Bakestone does a fantastic job! Every time we go, we're never let down. The breakfast and lunch offerings are always delicious. Despite the restaurant being busy, we always feel at ease and the children enjoy playing in the designated area. We're thrilled to have you in the neighborhood. Great job to everyone!
Delicious food and coffee coupled with amazing service! I would highly recommend checking this place out!
Went to bakestone on Sunday with a gang for brunch and it was awesome! We've been here a few times and it's always been good, I think they've extended the menu and it's even better now! Keep up the good work!
