Small and cosy place with its own identity. Friendly staff and good coffee, the selection of food was a nice surprise, both savoury and sweet. Really liked the ambience.
Great place to relax with a coffee and bite to eat. Really great staff and relaxed surroundings.
The best coffee in cork, and the lentil samosas are gorgeous. Lovely vibe in there as well, super friendly staff that actually want to be there makes it a really warm and friendly place to be. A+ tunes as well.
These guys take their coffee seriously. If you are in the market for a strong cup of specialty coffee with quirky presentation in a homely environment, don't be put off by Alchemy's fringe location. Judging purely on coffee, as a black coffee lover it is easily one of my favourite cups in Cork.
We went in to escape the rain. The atmosphere is very cozy. Good coffee and lovely cakes. I'm glad we went in.
Really cool place, top atmosphere. Great for a bit of reading or just meeting a few buddies. Prob best coffee in cork too.
If you are looking for a decent espresso based coffee you have found it. Excellent coffeeshop and book shop/swap in one venue. Decor is refurbished and the seats are comfy. Great windows for watching the world go by and even some outdoor tables for those rare sunny days in the real capital. Food menu is snacky rather than meals, good for a quick bite.
For starters, amazing coffee, lovely bites to eat. However the atmosphere is what makes it special. The servers are all bubbly and very knowledgeable. The decor is eye-catching and includes local artists pieces for sale. Outside seating and an array of second hand book to also buy and sell make this the perfect experience. A highly recommended spot just a few minutes from the main streets of Cork.
Quirky fun place with really great coffee and friendly staff.
Well worth the trip up barrack street..close to the city. Very atmospheric great healthy tasty food.. nice friendly staff..very good coffee.
Only been here a couple of times but it has a very homely & comfortable feel to it. Energetic & buzzing the first time. Coffee & cake were good. Will have to try some more to be sure.
What an atmosfere! For friends chat meeting, for date or for relaxing time just for You and you coffee. Cool staff too
Very cosy and nice cafe. The coffee is amazing and the stuff very friendly! The place got an unique atmosphere because of all the books, which are for sale for a fair price.
