Quay Co-op - Cork

A very unpleasant experience. Despite the fact that I am exempt from wearing a mask on my face and wanting to present the appropriate letter, I was asked to leave the store. My leg won't stand there anymore ... I used to be a regular customer ...

This place is so cozy that I would refer it to everyone. Good place and good food.

Great vegetarian vegan food. I got the Buddha bowl and chips and a latte. The portions are large and they will box up leftovers to take home, a rarity in Europe. Can't wait to return

Their market with all organic options is simply awesome! Really good €1.00 options for those short in cash (like me : . Their restaurant offers tasty options as well, although a little pricey. The environment is cozy. Attendants are very attentive. I want to go again.

Affordable vegetarian food in nice café surroundings 5/5 green stars The Quay Co-op store has a small deli counter that at first we thought was the restaurant, but they directed us to go two doors down and upstairs to the main restaurant. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just want to have some cheap healthy food, I’d say it’s well worth a visit. It’s a very cheerful space with some great art on the walls, friendly staff, and a good selection of main courses and desserts and a few wines too . It’s quite like Cornucopia in Dublin in terms of ordering process, atmosphere, and food selection. I had a lentil patty with tomato sauce and two sides for €7 and my brother had a tofu green curry €11 which also came with two sides. Mine was tasty, although I wasn’t crazy about the tomato sauce, while the green curry was a better choice – it tasted fairly authentic. For dessert I took a trip down memory lane with an apple sponge, which came with a little dish of soy custard – it tasted like 1982 in a good way! . I’m giving them 5/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact. It’s a workers’ cooperative that focuses on using healthy vegetarian and vegan ingredients. I believe that many ingredients are organic they are a member of the Organic Trust although it would be nice if they provided more information on their ingredient sourcing on their menu and website. They cook their food on-site daily and also have an in-house bakery. The Quay Co-op has long supported the LGBT community in Cork, from the Pride parades to the resource center The Other Place to the book launch of Queer Republic of Cork last month. They have a space that’s also used for community events like music and yoga. The Quay Co-op was founded in 1982 as a radical/alternative community project by a collective effort of feminist, lesbian gay, environmental and other alternative groups and individuals. “A central aim of the Co-op therefore is to ensure that space is provided for minority groupings working for change, who would otherwise have difficulty in organising in the city because of isolation and lack of the necessary support structures.” Interested in writing green star reviews?
