Our Story

Not your average
corner café

Cork & Barrel started with a simple belief: the best moments happen when people slow down and actually talk to each other. We opened our doors on Limestone Road to create a space that works as hard as it plays hard.

By day, we pour meticulous single-origin coffees for the early risers and remote workers. By night, the same space transforms — the lighting drops, the music shifts, and our wine and spirits program takes center stage. One address. Two distinct experiences.

Coffee service begins at 6:00

Bar opens at 4:00 every day

What We Serve

Two menus. One space.

Whether you need a morning pick-me-up or an evening wind-down, we've got something crafted for you.
