Some Dose Coffee Turners Cross is a bright, approachable café nestled on Congress Road, catering to locals looking for good coffee and a relaxed spot a little off the beaten path in Cork. The interior is crisp and mostly white, furnished with bench seating and window seats that catch natural light, making it an inviting place to pause whether you’re grabbing a quick pick-me-up or settling in with a laptop.

The coffee here is consistently praised, especially for options like batch brews and a variety of beans available for purchase if you want to bring the vibe home. Alternative milks are clearly supported, which suits the growing number of people mindful of their dietary choices. Among the sweet offerings, their brownie gets a special mention, standing out among the fresh pastries on hand.

This spot appeals to a diverse crowd — regulars who work from home nearby, locals out walking their dogs (it’s pet-friendly), and passersby who need a solid matcha latte or a well-crafted coffee. It’s the type of place that quietly fits into daily rhythms, where you might briefly catch up with friendly baristas or browse a small selection of local crafts and house products for sale next to the counter.

The best time to visit tends to be during the day, when natural light filters through the windows and the vibe settles into casual comfort. If you enjoy easy conversation, fresh pastries, and a genuine neighborhood feel without the rush of busier spots, this café holds its own. Its presence also contributes a subtle but welcome uplift to the Turner’s Cross area, making it a reliable stop for locals rather than a tourist hotspot.

I was on my way home, suddenly wanted a matcha latte. I looked up some cafes nearby and found this place. I didn’t expect much, but it was actually really nice! The staff were friendly, and the matcha latte tasted good. The vibe was nice too!

My husband and I come here regularly since we work from home nearby. Wonderful local business that really brightens up the area. It's pet friendly too - we sometimes bring our cat! Very tasty coffee and treats, plus they sell local crafters' work as well.

I love seeing old shops being bought back to life, and it’s great to see Some Dose open up in this old shop in Turner’s Cross, a short distance from Tory Top road. Inside is bright & white, with a few bench seats and window seats. The coffees are excellent and there’s also a lovely selection of fresh pastries. Plus you can also buy from a little range of grocery items. And dogs are very welcome. Top marks guys!

A really cute neighborhood coffee shop with fresh pastries and great coffee. They do a really nice chai latte as well! The coffee shop also has coffee beans and other equipment for purchase, and even rusks for any saffas looking for a taste of home!
