Lab 82 Coffee - Cork

From the moment you enter Lab 82, the presence of ambience takes you somewhere special. A rather eclectic decor absolutely makes it stand out from all other coffee shops. Their home brewed coffee is what we call in South Africa “moer koffie“ this potion wakes you up, and let’s you know that it’s doing so. Richie made for an incredibly gratuitous and welcoming host. The food itself was definitely something to write home about, and I’ll be going back to sample the rest of the menu.

Lab 82 was such a lovely place, it was cosy to be inside there and I loved how retro it was. Myself and a friend got the Cookie Sunday and it was amazing. It was definitely value for money.

Went in here after getting off a train (across the road). It was late and they were getting ready to close so we just had coffee and cake. It was fine. I would like to go back and try some food as it looks good. It's worth checking out just for how it's decorated. Hard to describe really, never seen anything like it. Worth a look.

This is a fabulous experience if you’re in cork. Perfect delicious Eggs Benedict and a full Irish and the best service we’ve ever had. Really friendly and professional staff and we loved the design, especially the ducks! Food and coffees amazing. Highly recommended. Right beside the train station and The Dean. Best breakfast ever

Lovely deserts, lovely food! Visited few times already and always left happy and content. Reccomend! UPDATE: Lab82 has solidified it's status of our favorite place to eat in the city since I left my review 3 months ago. Food is consistently scrumptious and packed with flavor, no matter what we ordered it was both a lovely visual experience and a pleasure for the taste buds! Savory or sweet you can't go wrong their brownies, cookies and cakes are dangerously good (their sweet selection tastes just decadent and their egg dishes are my favorite ones in the city. They have vegetarian dishes on the menu as well if you'd like to change things up a bit! If you are into coffee, you should definitely visit and try their delicious blends from around the world (which you can also buy and enjoy at home! , one of the silkiest coffee I had enjoyed was in the Lab. Located across the Kent railway station it is a perfect breakfast/brunch stop before a trip or after returning from one. The interior is eclectic and fun, offering you a chance to see what's cooking in the kitchen through a glass panel in the floor nice touch for both adults and kids! They do have a website (you can order sweet goodies, cookies, brownies and cakes in their online bakery and a QR code at the table (if coming with a group and wishing to pay through the app it can be handy . Staff is lovely, attentive and gives nice reccomendation if you're not sure what to go for. I like the fact the owner is interacting with everyone, ensuring we're getting the best experience and really makes you feel welcome, and adds a nice personal touch. Overall, this place is a 10/10 both for locals and visitors. You'll enjoy gorgeous food, eat decadent deserts, drink really good coffee in a fun environment and feel welcome and tempted to return every day!
