Excellent vegan offering but a little expensive

I really like this shop, it offers a huge variety of products for the vegan diet and the fresh fruit and vegetables are also very good. However it is really expensive

4,5 stars, could have more vegan options

The deli at the Quay Co-op has a delicious and large selection of fast options to take away or eat at the small cafe area. Quite a few options are vegetarian, and it would be nice to see them veganised. But the food is very tasty and the price is fair. They also do a good matcha latte. Super friendly staff!

Pros: Healthy, homemade feel, Many options early in the day, Tasty and very fairly priced

Cons: More things could be vegan, Later in the afternoon most things are sold out

Vegan options

The restaurant is permanently closed and they only have the deli/cafe inside the store. Definitely more vegetarian than vegan. Only some things at deli labeled vegan so ask staff to point out vegan treats. Wish they would switch to fully vegan.

Cons: Sells dairy and egg

I got a lovely selection of snacks from Quay Co-op Market, including one of the nicest GF brownies I’ve ever had and some homemade Nutella. Will definitely be back, if in Cork again!

Fantastic shop

The market sells lots of vegan products like ice cream, cheeses, yogurts, etc., and has many sustainably packaged goods. There's a little cafe counter inside where you can buy vegan desserts, salads, and other snacks at reasonable prices (my dessert was €3.50). They carry vegan scones as well which was a great find!

Best Shop in Cork

Anything I've ever needed I've found in this shop.
This is the perfect place for vegan sweets & chocolate, alternative milk & flours, no waist cleaning & beauty products and everything in-between.

Great food at a good price

The personal was kind, the food was yummy, and it wasn’t pricey at all. Recomend it to anyone who wants local products but at the same time some “quick food”.

Pros: Quality food, Only Vegan and Vegetarian options

Yummy lunch options

Pros: Nice Staff, Fast service

Cons: Not many gluten free options, Overpriced

nothing is priced or priced incorrectly.

Their excuse was that they're trying to restock after Christmas. how hard is it to place a sticker on the shelf while your stocking the item??

Would I return ....... Mah not fussed.

Pros: 12 vegan soups at the door was a great start. lots

Cons: lots of bare shelves and priced incorrectly. diso

Its in here somewhere!

Really impressed generally with the republic if Ireland's health food shops.
The fabled NHS means huge swathes of the norths population will not consider anything like this unless they are forced to or become disillusioned, otherwise its met with a derisory snort and the end result is the huge abuse of benzodiazepine meds and general widespread poor health, but at least its "cheap"...

Corkonians are SO LUCKY to have so much organic food, so many natural health products so well located and so handy. If I lived here, I'd eschew the nasty, soulless (but cheap) supermarkets for here. A great range of all things healthy.

Pros: Huge range , Ethical , Centrally located

So much variety - I wanted to buy everything!

Great store in the city centre of Cork. It's like an Aladdin's cave, you don't know what great things you'll find around the next corner. I stocked up on snacks for driving around Ireland. Really lovely staff too, although that goes without saying in Ireland.

Pros: Huge variety of stock, Lovely staff, Good layout of store

Very big and well supplied shop for Organic/Vegetarian/Vegan

As said in the title, that's what it is. You won't find as much variety anywhere else.
Join the vegetarian society and you also get a 10% discount, if you shop there heavily, you'll recover your money pretty quickly!

Pros: Stocked up with pretty much anything, Good organic produce, Good bread

They have vegan scones!

I was fairly blinded by the vegan scones so can't tell you much else about the shop other than it is large and has a good choice of chilled and other items! We didn't need to actually shop so I didn't look too closely at prices of things. We did however have vegan scones and hot chocolate in the little downstairs café which was great. Nice shop, great scones!

Pros: Vegan scones, Large shop

Tiny, overpriced, but a few vegan options

One of the smaller and more expensive co-ops I've visited. No joke: we saw a lip balm that I bought in another co-op for $4 sold there for $15...and vegan laundry detergent that is available at Tescos for $11 was over $20 at the co-op. The vegan cheeses are reasonably priced, however. There are often fresh baked vegan scones, carrot cake, etc. It's so expensive, we pretty much only go there to get vegan cheese and an occasional treat like a flapjack. Parking is usually a nightmare unless you go late at night.

Pros: Some hard to find vegan items, Got free bread once, Downtown location

Cons: Parking, Prices, Selection

Odd view. Its actually huge too. Mistaken this place for somewhere else? Currency isnt dollars either. Vegan feminism cares about bargains, apparently... Spew. Y'all go back now... Yuh here?

Large, well-stocked health food shop and organic m

Close to the city centre and beside the Quay Co-op Café, this is a large, bright, friendly, well-stocked health food shop and organic market. The shop stocks vegetables, grains and staples, refrigerated and frozen goods, snacks, deli items, baked goods and toiletries. Not everything is vegan but they have a good range of vegan things, including scones. A great local vegan resource.
