Coffee Cove — Restaurant in Municipal District of Cobh

We were there for a long time before any service. We were going to approach the counter for a menu when a couple walked in, and an employee came over right away, cleaned their table and handed them menus. Myself and my partner were taken aback by this, and sat for a few more minutes wondering maybe he had only seen us then? (although we were seated pretty obviously). When it was finally time to order I enquired about the vegan options - I always ask before ordering coffees just in case (just as well), and I had seen this place has "vegan options" on Tripadvisor so I was looking forward to lunch. The man serving us stumbled on words and said I could have a salad. I asked was there any other options other than a salad? I was told no, not for vegans.

If you are ever in Cobh, do yourself a favour, make your way over to the Coffee Cove, order a coffee (or tea), a scone and enjoy a delectable moment surrounded by local and...

Disclaimer - I have yet to meet a scone I didn't like. With that said, not all scones are created equal. Some drier, some denser, some lighter, etc... That all changed yesterday. I experienced the holy grail of scones. Truly! I don't know what kind of wizardry or sorcery is happening in the kitchen; all I can say is this is quite literally, the best scone experience I have ever had. So much so, I went again today. You know, just to make sure. I nearly wept with the last bite, knowing I would not experience this again until my next trip to Cobh. The coup de grâce was the expertly crafted flat white. I know, I know. It sounds too good to be true. Yet, it's not. A place like this really exists and it might just be...
