The Workshop Cork

A family-run café and tea room in a converted country workshop in Ballygarvan, Co. Cork, where well-behaved dogs on leads are always welcome.

The Workshop Cork is set on a quiet country road in Ballygarvan, about 20 minutes from Cork city centre and five minutes from Cork Airport. It operates as a café, tea room, and antique-filled community space all in one. The interior is stocked with vintage furniture, mismatched china, and locally produced goods. Baked goods are made in-house by the family. The team are self-described dog lovers, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome inside and out, making it a straightforward stop for dog owners heading to or from the south Cork countryside.
