This is a small café in Ballinspittle on the outskirts of Kinsale. It is very laid back almost 'hippy - ish'. The seating and decor are unusual and fun and the atmosphere here is great. The food is all homemade and really tasty. A good menu and I love the homemade lemonade. My personal favourite is the Chicken Wrap which... More

Driving through Ballinspittle we spotted this cafe. We called in just to get a cafe and what a delight when we saw all the cakes that were available. I had a coconut cake with a really good hot chocolate and my husband had a pecan nut cake with a latte. The decor is fab. The staff are really friendly and... More

Stopped in for a quick fish and chips and not disappointed. Had to wait for table ( no reservations), but we were quickly served. Good place for families on holiday.

The food is fresh, unique with delicious combinations of flavors. I never leave anything on my plate. The hardest thing about coming is looking at the variety of tempting bakery goods staring at me. And most times, I just don't stop after my main course. But oh so satisfying when I do indulge in a very chocolate brownie, buttery berry... More

Coffee you could dance an elephant... More

We were pleasantly surprised that dinner is now offered and it was wonderful- fresh,local ingredients and an outstanding chef. Don't miss this gem in... More

When we were in the area two years ago we found Diva's for morning coffee and scones. Now we have experienced lunch and even dinner on Thursday and Friday nights. What can I say--absolutely wonderfully prepared food from scones and desserts, to squash ravioli for supper. Great food (locally sourced), great service in an out of the way small Irish... More

Really you must find this amazing little cafe / bakery. Originally in Kinsale they decided to move for fewer customer in Ballinspittle!!! And still they are successful. Why ? The baking / cooking is second to none. Coffee is A1. Very west coat USA, uber cool, grungey. Quite bizarre in Ballinspittle.
