This is my favourite café in Cork City. Their take away cups are compostable (so I bring them home and put them in my food waste bin), and they serve chai lattes. They have loyalty cards plus the staff are pleasant and friendly. I generally don't have to wait long to be served, especially if I'm there between 10.30 and 11 am. I think it's busier after 11 am. They have coeliac and vegetarian options as well as non-dairy milk, plus there's seating outdoors as well as indoors. Most of the time, they make a design like a swan on my chai latte which is a nice touch They've a decent range of sweet and savoury treats including sandwiches and scones but I've never tried them so I can't comment on how tasty they are. My only complaint is that the chairs indoors are more like stools as they have a very low back and they're not that comfortable. The location of Nectar is nice and central also. Price-wise, I'd say it's about average

This a gluten free review. Myo was great! This cafe has some sweet and savoury options.The savory options are things like quiche and the sweet options are things like a apple berry crumble which was amazing. The staff are lovely and really willing to take the time to read into things like the oat milk for you (which has previously cross contaminated me in other venues, it's not GF but still nice that they looked while the queue was growing), or if the crumble touched off something by accident they would catch that immediately and give you another slice (even though I stupidly said oh I'll eat it anyway! I'm still getting used to advocating for my dietary requirements). It's a small cafe so options are limited of course, but it's a beautiful cafe next to the river and with lovely staff and at least your not paying for a whole restaurant. I've found it hard finding cafes in the city as opposed to restaurants to cater to GF. I'd definitely recommend here. They have some stone tables along the river with chess tables carved in and the cafe will loan you the chess pieces. It's a nice chill evening and no worries about being glutened.

It was good because I found many gluten-free options. I didn't like the service because we ate there but we received the coffee and the pastries to take away, it's a small thing but for me is important, if you eat in you should receive your coffee in a cup and your pastries on a plate. The coffee and the pastries were delicious.

Lab 82 is such a nice quirky cafe. It is different in terms of decor and even menu choices- a must visit if you like ducks! Vegan, vegetarian and coeliac friendly this cafe has a wide variety of food options for you to choose from. I recommend the sausage rolls or of course the classic pancakes. Kinder Bueno pancakes are my favourite but the Oreo pancakes are also to die for. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and so helpful! This cafe is such a find - well worth the trip and if you are visiting Cork I definitely recommend a visit here for brunch or lunch! On weekends during peak time you may have to wait 10 mins or so for a table but that is only a testament to how popular the place is. The food is well worth the wait I assure you! I also recommend the potatoes and the chai latte or dirty chai if you need the caffeine.

Would not recommend for coeliacs. Savagely overpriced for a slap of ham and cheese in some gluten free bread in comparison to what you would get without the condition. Also no guarantee of a gluten free toasted sandwich, seems discretionary. Disappointing in this day and age
