The Globe Cafe is a hidden gem with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and consistently delicious food. What really sets it apart, though, are Max and Tony — they're absolutely fantastic. Their friendly service, attention to detail, and genuine care for customers make every visit a pleasure. Whether you're stopping in for coffee or some pastries or sandwiches, you're always treated like family. Highly recommend Griff

Great cafe in the centre of Mallow. Lovely staff who are always friendly and helpful. Nice choice of breakfast and lunch options. You need to get in early for the fried breakfast. The last few times we got there late and missed out on the hash brown. Good cakes, and still the best coffee in Mallow.

I am very delighted with my experience at Globe Cafe in Mallow. The place is really cosy, and the ladies are very welcoming. The portions are very generous (I am not 100% sure if that's the standard on the place or it was because we were almost at closing time), anyway, I enjoyed my very big portion of salmon quiche with lots of salad , it was delicious, it's definitely a place to recommend. Thank you very much!

Best coffee shop in mallow no doubt. The baking is actual real proper fresh stuff (not the type that’s dry and been brought in by outsourcing from some company). I got a millionaire shortbread square im really craving a lot after being there. Atmosphere very nice as well. Family run. Clean tables- literally everything is spot on

First time going and will certainly be back whenever I'm in the area - lived in Mallow for 13 years & never knew it was there until last week! The best carrot cake I've had so far and one of the best coffees too. Staff were super pleasant and the price was reasonable!

Wonderful cafe I've been to on many occasions. EXCELLENT coffees, nice choice of healthy foods, their Quiche is always delicious. The inside has a great vibe. The front table by the window is perfect for people watching! Music during the Arts Festival, too!
