Cork is such a small city and when it comes to sugar cravings, you may think that there are not many choices, specially for vegan options. Well I made my own research and was pleasantly surprised... Continue to read to see what you can find.
COFFEE SCAPE
31 Popes Quay, Shandon, Cork
This recently opened cafe on the riverside run by a lovely Croatian couple has a variety of vegan treats, including sweet ones. Homemade baklavas, poppy seed cake, coconut roll and lemon square are the ones I’ve tried -and enjoyed- so far.
THREE FOOLS
Grand Parade, Centre, Cork
Here you’ll find a few oaties and power balls from Pure Raw (the cashew oatie is to die for) and recently they’ve started to sell Leamhain ice cream sandwiches in two different flavours.
PRIORY COFFEE
33/34 MacCurtain St, Victorian Quarter, Cork
Priory Coffee has a few spots, but my favourite is this one at the beginning of MacCurtain St. It has a cozy atmosphere and nice view from the seats on the window. They have a few vegan options to pair with your coffee: carrot cake and banana and chocolate cake.
OFFBEAT DONUTS CO.
17 French Church Street, Centre, Cork
This popular donuts chain has opened a shop in French Church St. and yes, they have vegan donuts! They have 3 flavours now: biscoff, chocolate cookie (aka Oreo) and chocolate with pistachio and raspberry topppings. I’m really looking forward to seeing more vegan options here.
BANANA MELON
https://www.bananamelonkitchen.com
Suzanna creates delicious and aesthetic sweets and chocolates and despite she has not her own shop, you can find her at the Mahon Market on Thursdays and sometimes at the Douglas Market on Saturdays. Check her website to know about her stockist as well.
CAFFE NERO
16-17 Oliver Plunkett St, Centre, Cork
Last year Caffe Nero added a few vegan options and some of them can still be found in their place in Oliver Plunkett.
GINO'S GELATO
104 Oliver Plunkett St, Centre, Cork - 8 Paul St, Centre, Cork - 22 St Patrick's St, Centre, Cork
Gino's has a few vegan gelato flavours. My favourite is the chocolate one, of course.
MALAY KITCHEN
Paradise Place, S Main St, Centre, Cork
I love the vegan brownies from Malay Kitchen, but didn’t try their other vegan sweet treats yet.
SONFLOUR
9 Castle St, Centre, Cork
This is one of my favourites places in Cork. And they, of course, have vegan desserts.

24 Sullivan's Quay, Ballintemple, Cork
Quay Coop has a cafe downstairs with a very nice and easy going atmosphere. As for their vegan sweet treats, you'll find a couple of cakes and delicious scones.

LION RAW KITCHEN
Very nice vegan and raw desserts that can be found in a few places in Cork. I've seen them at Alternative Bread, in The English Market, and at Loving Salads.
MY GOODNESS
Unit 2 English Market, Princes St, Cork
Even if I see their stall many times, it wasn’t until last month that I tried some of their sweets. The orange and chocolate brownie was lovely, but it’s not always available.

CAFE ECO
