Idaho Cafe

I just barely missed brunch unfortunately but had a ham and cheddar sandwich. The cheese was melty and gooey. There was relish on the sandwich that was also tasty. Overall good. Good location and nice service.

Went there with my mum for a late lunch : we ordered one of their bapini with a cappuccino and a mocha before ending our late lunch with some pastries ( Danish roll and homemade rhubarb tart) it was really good and the waiters were really nice and kind! A very ice place to chill and relax!

Adorable! Quaint! The perfect cozy spot for an afternoon coffee and a bite. The staff and owners are so very nice and it's a nice mix of people.

Small but cozy, the Idaho Cafe offers good service, good food and - believe me! - good coffee for all those who are tired of the good old take away during lunch time.

Don't expect a big fancy menu, as the options are limited yet delicious, with some very interesting veggie-friendly options. ;) I don't quite know how often they change the lunch menu, but the existence of a daily special implies that there must be some new interesting new dishes to try every so often.

A mistake I did and should prevent you from doing: save space for the post-meal coffee! They are delicious. Try the Viennese coffee - espresso topped with whipped cream! Nomnomnom.

The big downside is that they don't accept cards, only cash - so make sure to pass by an ATM before coming here. I know, I know, that's bad. The super friendly staff will help you feel like it's worth it. :)

Fabulous ambience, excellent coffee and the coffee cake is divine. My fish pie was ordinary and lacked flavour but the rest was excellent. Would happily come back here anytime.

The food was great (sandwich and salad) and the prices inexpensive. The staff was extremely friendly! Overall an enjoyable place to relax and meet up with friends.

IDAHO CAFE (09.07.10)


Downtown for a few hours today, principally to say Bon Voyage to the Clipper 09-10 race as the ten racing boats left the city quays on the last leg of their 35,000 mile trip around the world.
Took a walk in the rain over to the Idaho Cafe for a slightly early lunch. I choose the Potato and Gubbeen Cheese with Bacon and was glad that I did. I could have eaten the Morris Piper potatoes on their own but, mixed with the Gubbeen, the combination was unbeatable.
The Cafe is small but comfortable enough. Service is friendly and efficient and the cooking is top class. My main course, with a small salad, cost €11.00.


IDAHO CAFE
Called to the Idaho Cafe in Maylor Street mid-morning for a coffee and scone (€4.60). The smallish cafe is well known: it does breakfast and lunches and has a string of Bridgestone awards to its credit.
Studied the menus while drinking the coffee and must say they look promising. Looked up to see the proprietor, Richard, going around topping up the coffee and mine was not neglected. Nice touch and one that could be copied, with profit, by restaurants in the evening.

Very reasonably priced, especially considering it's in the middle of Cork City Center. The coffee is good, the scones are fantastic, and the staff and owner are so friendly and delightful. It is, hands-down, my favorite little breakfast nook in Cork.

Tasty, freshly prepared food that was reasonably priced. Lunch menu is quite simple but adequate. Very friendly and efficient service. Highly recommend.

Tasty gaff for lunch. Tomato and bean soup was simply amazing, and the chili chicken bap was quite good as well. Service was fantastic, our waitress was lovely (and helped idiotic me in getting into the bathroom... the lock in the door needs a bit of work!). Small room though, so can get cramped in there, especially at peak times so be warned!
