I came here on a random thought today, I’m new to Oshawa and have been looking for a small and lowkey place to study at. It’s so quiet and low stimulation The gloomy/rainy weather with their ambiance and vibes makes this such a cozy spot. I can see so many people are repeat customers, and their staff are personable. I ordered the Old Flame Bluberry Pilsner during their happy hour and it did not disappoint— with a squeeze of lime, this did the brew Justice. I also got the baked Brie with jam and almonds, the portion is fair and perfect while studying and needing a little snack. The actual spot itself is so spacious, fun, and well decorated with 2 floors for seating and lots of art work on the walls. They have an extensive craft beer selection that made me very happy. After the blueberry Pilsner I had the strawberry kiwi sour and it didn’t disappoint. It paired quite nicely with the Brie and bread I appreciate their blackboard menu and rustic design from the furniture right to the light fixtures— it’s so soft and welcoming. It’s hard not to feel in the element when needing to get some work done There is street parking for a fee very close by This was my first time here and certainly won’t be my last

My sister and I, who live nearby, had been eagerly looking forward to trying Cork and Bean after hearing great things about it. Unfortunately, our visit was quite disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the experience was off-putting. The two staff members at the front just stared at us without offering a greeting or any kind of welcome, which felt really awkward. When we asked them for recommendations, they responded with, “I don’t know, really.” To make matters worse, one of the customers also gave us an uncomfortable look from head to toe. Feeling unwelcome and unsure of what to order, we decided to leave without making a purchase. It’s disappointing because we were really looking forward to trying their food. I hope this was just an off day for them, but our experience left much to be desired.

Cute place, came here for a beer after work with a coworker and my husband. They have alot of craft beers in stock. We tried two from the Focal company and liked them both. The nachos we got were really good, lots of toppings and cheese and they give generous bowls of sour cream and salsa for the nachos. I got the apple and turkey sandwich which was quite good too. Most likely will return here! Edit: Have been here quite often recently, the staff are all so friendly. I love getting the latte with almond milk and shot it hazelnut, it tastes like a Ferrero Rocher! To me anyways haha.

Had a great first experience at the Cork & Bean...best butter tart I have ever had. My cap was a little cool...but tasted great. The wife's cheese cake was also very tasty. Will definitely be returning. Update from first post...Went back in today..as promised ...Hanna remembered me and my one little issue...made us superb drinks... fully redeeming Cork & Bean and my original 5 stars. Still the best butter tart ever and darn good scones. Very nice brownie too. Thank You Hanna & James. 😁👍

Quaint café and bar serving a broad selection of drinks and food in downtown Oshawa. Service here is great and there is an ample amount of seating available inside, along with options for dining-in and takeout. There's also live music available - great hangout spot for groups, couples and individuals. The espresso drinks and hot chocolate are especially delicious, and the staff are very friendly as well. Definitely worth stopping by for your next café fix in Oshawa!

I go to Cork and Bean a lot for the calm atmosphere during the day to get some work done, I also go at night for local music. The drinks and food are always great, and the service is truly awesome every time. Everything about this place rocks, but the staff really tie it all together with how welcome they make you feel. This place is also dog-friendly: it's a great place to just relax with a macchiato or beer! Make it a stop for you to visit this summer for sure.
