Located just off Patrick Street, this restaurant offers a delightful selection of lunch, coffee, and ice cream. The staff is friendly, and there are comfortable seating options both indoors and outdoors. The place is very clean, and the coffee is excellent.

Without a doubt, this place offers the best ice cream in Cork. They have an extensive selection of flavors, including a few sorbets and vegan options. I particularly enjoy their milkshakes and ice cream floats, and they also serve delicious hot chocolate, tea, and hearty meals. The variety of ice cream options is so vast that I often experiment with different flavor combinations in my milkshakes, floats, or bowls. For holidays, I like to create unique combinations, like mint, coconut, and tropical flavors for St. Patrick's Day to represent the Irish flag. The staff here are incredibly friendly, and I always have a great time chatting with them during my visits. I've been coming here since shortly after they opened and have become a regular customer, and I've never had a negative experience. I've even recommended this place to several friends!

This restaurant remained open during the pandemic, providing essential services and offering much-needed coffee and drinks. The staff is incredibly friendly and remembers your order, making you feel welcome every time. They put in a lot of effort and truly appreciate every customer that walks through the door. There is plenty of outdoor seating available as well. I highly recommend this place!

Vanilla Co. I saw the green shadow going up and I felt an ice cream compound. Every experience was a positive chord on the day. Great vibes. Great people. Great taste!

The staff and the owners are the nice people you could ever meet and the coffee and ice cream are the best
