Ruairí’s Kitchen opens this week, transforming the old High Street post office

By Yay Cork November 10, 2024November 6, 2024

You can’t miss it.

Ruairí’s Kitchen opens its doors on Tuesday, November 12th at no. 12 High Street, after a lengthy renovation project that saw the street’s former post office transformed into a cheerful bubblegum pink café and bakery.

Ruairí Domican Byrne, the mastermind behind the magic, is an award-winning baker (Wedding Cake Designer of the Year 2024, FYI) with a reputation for creating Insta-worthy masterpieces. From delicate cupcakes to show-stopping celebration cakes, his creations are a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds and now you can pick up a slice of heaven every time you pass.

Whether you’re craving a mid-morning pick-me-up or need the perfect centrepiece for your next gathering, Ruairí’s Kitchen will be stocked with freshly baked muffins, melt-in-your-mouth cookies, and an ever-changing selection of seasonal specials.
