The Workshop Cork

The Workshop The Workshop is a local family business where you will find a comfortable relaxed and unique environment that feels like a home from home.
(749)

The business consists of three different aspects:

1. The Tea Rooms/ Café Experience

With plenty of comfy seating we set out to provide our customers with excellent quality local products served in a relaxed atmosphere. This ranges from delicious gourmet sandwiches made with local fresh produce, gluten free soups and cottage pies, locally baked desserts and freshly roasted Badger and Dodo coffee beans sourced in beautiful East Cork. We aspire to echo the service of the good old days and so we serve our extensive variety of teas in antique and vintage fine bone china.

2. Antiques and Vintage

We've taken a backwards approach to the phrase “out with the old in with the new” in that you’ll mostly find vintage and antique furniture and items for sale within the store. We lovingly paint and restore some of these pieces so that they can be up-cycled and reused in the homes of today.

3. Community

A place where people can gather is the final aim of The Workshop, we are in the process of setting up weekly book clubs, a cinema club (where you choose the movie), art classes, weekly demonstrations and much much more.

🐔 THE GIRLS NEED NAMES! 🐔

We’ve got four new residents at The Workshop… and they’re causing a bit of a stir. 😂

Three are fluffy little Silkies and then there’s the odd one out — our gorgeous chocolate-brown Frizzle already called Amy, who clearly thinks she’s the boss. 👑🐔

But there’s just one problem…

The 3 haven’t got names yet!

So we’re handing the job over to you.

👇 Give us your best, funniest, most ridiculous chicken names in the comments.

We’ll pick our favourite, and the winning name wins a little prize from The Workshop! 🎁

Come on Cork… we know you can do better than Henrietta. 😂

We’ve played Dolly Parton’s records countless times here, and her music has always felt right at home in our little corner of Cork.

A truly remarkable woman.
Rest peacefully, Dolly. 🎶🤍

We’ll be putting the needle down and playing your records for a long, long time yet.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis 🥰.

Today, we’re thinking of all the father figures who’ve helped shape our story ❤️ the dads, granddads, uncles, godfathers, neighbours, and honorary dads who’ve shown up, fixed things, shared their stories, and kept it all going.

At The Workshop, family extends far beyond our own front doors 🥰 and we’re so grateful for every father figure who’s offered their kindness, their support, and their quiet wisdom along the way.

Here’s to you. 🎈
