The Workshop Cork

About

The Workshop Cork is a charming blend of a cosy café and a curated antique shop tucked away on Lios Cross near the historic town of Ballygarvan. Run by brothers Aiden and David, the concept dates back to their family’s carpentry roots, and today the venue offers a relaxed café atmosphere with locally‑sourced breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert menus, including gourmet sandwiches, fresh soups, a wide selection of cakes and bakeries, and a specialty tea range in fine bone china. Guests can enjoy a pleasant, record‑player‑backed ambience while browsing an eclectic collection of vintage furniture, up‑cycled pieces, and art‑filled displays that breathe new life into old treasures. The establishment prides itself on friendly service, a warm community feel, and a relaxing space for guests to unwind in the heart of Cork County.
