Quay Co-op Cafe - Sullivan's Quay

Wonderful staff - all Cork patriots!! Loved them. A great variety of small and large meals, soups, salads and cakes. I ate here twice in the same day. Great shop down below too.

I have tried the lasagna, the quich and the hummus. I loved it. I will always think of Quay Co-op if I want healthy food.

Indeed the Quay Coop is the first place that comes to mind for Vegans and Vegetarians.

I love the place and I go there often but I really, really wish they would implement more vegan options.

The food is, to my opinion, very good, although some option are not as good as others, that might be where the bad reviews are coming from.

Someone was talking about non-vegan Cabdury hot chocolate, but as far as I know the Cabdury hot chocolate is actually just cocoa powder and sugar, I saw it in supermarkets and was surprised there was no dairy in it. Can anybody confirm?

I was a bit worried I'd starve in Cork but I needn't have worried. There were lots of vegan options and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I had a shepherd's pie which was incredibly tasty. I also had a scone with soy cream. Yum!

Large variety of foods and desserts. Has sit down restaurant, bakery, as well as an onsite excellent grocery store.We were able to get sandwich ingredients for tour lunch stops.

Four of us ate at the cafe, Everyone happy with their food. Service is excellent and staff are friendly, helpful , nice people. The whole place has a nice feel, bright and airy and relaxed.
Vegan options , even deserts. The place has been remodelled and is very nice overlooking the river , plenty of extra seating upstairs.

The shop downstairs is big with a large range of goods. Many items not priced , made shopping difficult.

Good place to eat, with a very nice staff and many vegan options.

We ate here twice during our weekend visit to Cork. On both occasions we had nice meals and they adapted portion sizes to suit our daughter. The staff were friendly and the café itself was very relaxed and had a nice view overlooking the river. Would definitely go back if we visit Cork again.

The Cork Quay Co-op is a great place where vegan macros can eat & where the staff are friendly & will to go through list of ingredients of dishes. Lovely atmosphere & moderately priced! Oh and the fun of having the treat of a Yannoh Cappuchino made with soya milk!

Simply a great place!
Really good and healthy food, many choices, large menu and great value.
During my stay in Cork I ate there twice and enjoyed my visits at Co-Op Café very much.
The first time I had a really decent burger with two salads, very good, the second time I had a lasagne with wedges and broccoli, which was even better. They have a notable range of salads and beverages as well. The range of cakes could be a tiny bit bigger and the cakes little cheaper, but apart from that the prices are appropriate.
The venue provides lots of space and many tables and the free Wi-Fi works absolutely fine. There were some original paintings from the local uni students when I was there, but I think this was only a temporarily exhibition. I liked that.
On top of that the opening hours are quite satisfying.
I would have to think really hard to find any kind of disappointment.

My fiancé and I have been traveling Ireland with minimal vegan choices over the last week and have made most meals in our campervan when today we spotted Quay just near our parking spot. Immediately we were greeted by a friendly employee who took pride in showing us all the vegan options they had to offer. We were spoilt for choice and went with the vegan patties and shepherds pie. The pie was a stand out dish with amazing flavour and the patties were tasty but could have been improved if the were cooked for longer and dried out a little. The whole chickpeas inside were perfect! The meal came with two warm sides that were wedges (so tasty) and broccoli, this made for very large well priced meals! We wanted treats but were so full so we grabbed the chocolate cake and crumble to take away along with a large box of the salads for our dinner later on in our van. We just ate the cake and it was the best chocolate cake I have had since becoming vegan! Looking forward to salads and crumble later tonight! A must visit when in Cork! A huge thank you to the über friendly staff

They serve huge portions of bland vegan food. The cafe is cute and inviting, I just wish the food made me want to stay. The cole slaw had more mayo than carrots or cabbage. The warm food wasn't cooked all the way through.

As a vegan who goes there regularly, the food is good but it always seems to be the same 1-2 vegan options for starters, mains & dessert. Also, according to a member of staff, they have been serving Cadbury's hot chocolate and labelling it as "vegan", when in fact it is not. Imagine what would happen if someone had a dairy allergy and ordered it? Their fruit salad is good compared to most places.

Great food, lovely decor and calm ambience, lovely choice of soft music while I was there, free WiFi that works and, most importantly, lots of clearly labeled vegan options including several vegan puddings. Totally recommend the matcha mousse, unusual (for me anyway) and delicious. User-friendly opening hours and nice staff too.

I almost missed it as the first venue with their name on I came across was shut, but fortunately a friendly local told me they had moved just down the road.

Went here twice last week on a short break to Cork. On both occasions I left content and well fed! Plenty of tasty vegan options,and cheap! All the staff I met were helpful, keen and said they were lucky to work in such a great place.
Dined looking over the river in relaxed surroundings.

Can't recommend it highly enough

I went here on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm. There was one vegan option on the daily menu (lentil burger with tomato snd coconut sauce) and one vegan option on the specials (mixed bean casserole). Both of the hot sides (steamed veg and peri peri wedges) and all of the salads except two were also vegan. I got the lentil burger and two sides with a lemonade, which came to about €10. The food was hearty, medium-spiced and delicious. The café is upstairs with big windows with a view over the river, and has a casual atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it as a causal veg dining option. There were a couple of vegan desserts which seemed to be fruit crumbles but I didn't try them.

I found the staff lovely. The food was not really exiting but still tasty. It did have nice paintings and a good location.

We came here for lunch when it was still very empty, and first we had trouble understanding the menu options and the system, but the lady at the counter explained everything in a very friendly way.
I chose a salad of white beans and roast potatoes and it was definitely not the best meal I had, but it was ok and the portion was well-sized, so I was really full afterwards. The hot chocolate I had was huge and just delicious. I also really liked the spacious interior of the place and the location on the river, close to St Finbarr's church.
