The Sugar Plum Sweetery opens in Cork City today (and we want everything)

By Yay Cork August 10, 2026August 10, 2026

If your sweet tooth has been tingling lately, we have some absolutely elite news for you.

After months of anticipation, planning, and getting everything looking picture-perfect, the Sugar Plum Sweetery is officially opening its doors in Cork City today, Monday, August 10th, and it looks absolutely magical inside.

Setting up shop at 39 Oliver Plunkett Street, this dreamland of treats is swinging open its doors at 11am sharp.

Inspired by their travels across Europe, the husband-and-wife owners, Denise Buckley and David Quirke, who already have shops in Mullingar and Kildare Village, have carefully sourced some of the tastiest sweets and chocolates they could find, from creamy Swiss-style varieties to premium nuts and confectionery.

Step inside their sweetest store yet and you’ll find wall-to-wall indulgence.

We are talking about their famous Thick Style Bars – including the internet’s favourite Viral Dubai Bar, alongside massive colourful Pick & Mix setups, gifts, and endless sweet surprises.

Freebies for the early birds 

If you’re quick on your feet today, it definitely pays to join the queue. The first 50 customers who make a purchase will score a free goodie bag packed with treats, and one super lucky customer is going to walk away with a very special mystery prize.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on the viral chocolate bars or just need a Monday pick-me-up on your lunch break, get yourself down to Oliver Plunkett Street ASAP.
