Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A gorgeous shop. It's wonderful to see so many Cork made crafts represented! I bought a beautiful set of unique greeting cards that I can't wait to use.

    Carroll's Irish gifts is a souvenir shop located in the center of Cork, the main city in South of Ireland. It is a very good place, if you want to buy some souvenirs like t-shirts, magnets, books or a lot of objects. A very good shop if you are a tourist.

    Amy is one of the best employee you have.
    She is so friendly and so good at her job.
    She is the nicest person i have come across. So helpful, she literally helped me pick up the best products for my skin.

    Loved discovering this tasty treat shop! The owner Tony Linehan had a great chat with us and told us a bit of the history. He’s the third generation Linehan owner and it’s been running is 1928! Amazing.

    For something different try the Cut Clove Sweets - I really liked them and they are
    One of their most popular. Never tried anything like it!

    Two of us on a day off from golfing near Kinsale found this as we were wandering the streets of the town.
    Great place to have a glass of wine or buy a bottle. The cheese plate is also very good.

    Horrible costumer service, not willing to help you when it’s needed. Even when you’ve got enough proof to show them you bought the article they don’t care. It seems like they don’t even know how and why theorie guidelines are the way they are. Overall I had a really terrible experience

    This shop has the very best cheese you will get in Cork, an absolute must for cheese lovers. My favourite is the st Andres. Their fresh pasta and pizza bases are gorgeous and their chocolate cake is out of this world. This really is a gem of a shop.

    If you want to indulge in some shopping, Opera Lane is Cork's favourite shopping district. It's one of the best places to shop as they have a wide range of popular stores all on one street.
    You can find Topshop, H&M, Sketchers, Topman, River Island, Compu b, Office Shoes, Tommy Hilfiger, Specsavers, Therapie and the Gap all in one convenient location. With that range of selection, you're bound to find something you want here!
    It's a great place to shop if you get tired easily.
    And if you're waiting for your friends or partner to finish shopping & you're all shopped out, you can stop off for a coffee at Starbucks, just at the top of the street.

    a candy shop always turns adults into kids and this is no different. bottles of various colored candies await. we tried a mild bitter and it was too bitter to consume so we stuck to the sweet instead.

    I have bought online from these folks and have always been very happy with everything.
    Visited the physical shop yesterday as I was on a trip to West Cork.
    It surpassed expectations... on the side of lush mountainous area..
    Everything well signed and they had everything... if you couldn't find it there forget about it...
    A lovely coffee shop and spotless toilets.
    Well worth a visit
