Rise and shine, frequent flyers.

Cork Airport has heard your cries for caffeine and carbs at the crack of dawn. Forget about those sad airport sandwiches and lukewarm coffee – a new café is swooping in to save your pre-flight sanity.

Roasted Notes, a new café and wine bar operated by KSG has opened at Cork Airport in advance of the peak summer holiday months of July and August.

The coffee and wine bar was officially opened by Minister of State at the Department of Transport, James Lawless TD in the company of Michael Gleeson, KSG CEO, Kenny Jacobs, daa CEO and Niall MacCarthy, Cork Airport Managing Director, and other invited guests.

Open daily at 4am and located in the Departures lounge, Roasted Notes is positioned between gates four and five, offering sweeping panoramic views of the runway.

Along with carefully sourced and quality roasted coffee, passengers can look forward to enjoying freshly baked sweet treats, a selection of grab-and-go sandwiches and savoury snacks, including charcuterie and cheese plates.

To complement the variety of tasty foods available to order, Roasted Notes will offer a vast range of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, with an array of red, white, and sparkling wines, draught beers, spirits, and cocktails.

Victoria Dennehy, Commercial Business Development Specialist at Cork Airport said the busy travel hub is “thrilled” to work with KSG  on the new venture: “Opening at a busy time of year, I know our passengers will really enjoy this new food and beverage experience with delicious coffee, freshly baked treats, sandwiches, and a wide selection of drinks.” Dennehy said.

“With comfortable and spacious seating overlooking the runway, I am confident that the Roasted Notes café and wine bar will enhance the overall passenger experience immeasurably.”
