Whether you’re recovering from a wild night or just enjoying the laziness of the weekend, brunch is the perfect thing to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning. And keeping it vegan is not so difficult if you know where to go. Choose among avocado toasts, savory wraps, homemade granola, full vegan breakfast, pancakes… here you have all of this!
At the end of this post you’ll find the map to Vegan Brunch in Cork, so you can save it if you want to keep it handy.

Vegan options for brunch:
- Everything
143V is not in the city center, you’ll have to walk for 10-15 minutes towards the train station to find it, but it worths a visit. The brunch menu offers toasts, porridge, chia pudding, tofu scramble, pancakes… The breakfast bagel (see picture above) is the best option if you’re in the mood for Irish breakfast. Do you need a boost of vitamins? Choose one of their fresh juices and smoothies, they have a big choice.

This fancy looked but friendly café has two locations in Cork. The one that I tried for the brunch was at The Elysian, close to Aldi. Try their homemade granola, it’s simply delicious. If you’re feeling hungry, add one of their vegan toast.
Pink Moon
Washington Street - Centre, Cork
Vegan options for brunch:
- Power porridge

Small, cute and dog friendly, Pinkmoon has some vegan options for brunch, as the full vegan breakfast in the picture above. But I felt in love with this place for their great choice of vegan sweet treats.

Liberty Grill
32 Washington St - Centre, Cork
Vegan options for brunch:
- Organic porridge
- Homemade maple granola
- Breakfast sundae
- French toast*
Liberty Grill is a super vegan friendly restaurant located in the city center. I tried it for dinner a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised with the nice atmosphere and amazing service and attention to detail from the staff.
* It seems that they have vegan french toast, but I'm not completely sure as I didn't try it myself and it is not included as a vegan option in their online menu. I'll update this post as soon as I get it confirmed.
Earth Café
South Mall - Centre, Cork
Vegan options for brunch:
- Everything
This completely vegan café has become really popular in Cork. Located in the very city center, it offers a fully plant-based menu that includes savoury jackfruit wraps, salad bowls and “ham ‘n cheese” sandwiches that will convince also non vegan eaters. In the picture above you can see the breakfast wrap. Furthermore, it’s a great place to sit on a sunny day.

Good Day Deli
Nano Nagle Place, Douglas St, Centre, Cork
Vegan options for brunch:
- Vibrant vegan trio
- Vegan chocolate brownie
Even if they have just a couple of vegan options, you should go to Good Day Deli, a lovely place hidden in Cork city. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, you will enjoy this place the most in a sunny day looking through the windows and, yes, feeling good.
