Absolutely unreal. Was on way to Middleton Distillery and stopped her for food. Genuinely the best sandwich I've had. Got the feather blade that comes with gravy dipping sauce and It was incredible. Good service, even better food for less than a 10 a person

Nice little cafe right in the heart of Midleton. Clean fresh pleasant interior with a few tables and stools. Order and pick up at the counter. Staff were nice. Coffee and hot chocolate were good, enjoyed the cinnamon roll, but the cookie was a bit underwhelming (too hard). Looks like they might sell a selection of lunch items too (sandwiches, chips, etc). Wishing them luck given the history of the flood in late 2023. Happy to see they stuck it out and reopened. I look forward to going back and trying other menu items.

We made the right choice stopping into Bernie's, the sambos were unreal and the size of them. Packed to the rafters of meat and flavour. We enjoyed it so much we stayed a bit longer and washed it down with a beer and wine. Bernie's is highly recommend.

Delicious focaccia sandwiches!! The little cupcakes that they served us with coffee were also super tasty. Staff was very friendly too. We’ll definitely go back.

One of, if not the greatest sandwich I’ve ever had. The level of quality here is insane. Picture speaks for itself. Did not expect to find this in Midleton.

Beautiful little cafe. Coffee is great but recently got a sandwich and it was something else! I think they do the best sandwich in Midleton! I had got my nails done and ran in to get a quick bite and the girls were amazing I was confused because they all looked so good. They told me their order and I got it and it did not disappoint. I got a sandwich with ranch on the side a free little sweet treat and a coffee It was huge! A meal! Did me lunch and dinner it was so big! I cannot wait to try another!

Fantastic feather blade sandwich... definitely the best I've ever had. Delicious grave and super friendly service. I recommend everyone to try it. It's really worth it!

Took the Middleton Whiskey tour and after the tour and tastings, we asked our tour guide for suggestions for lunch that was also within walking distance to the distillery. She suggested Bernie's. Not sure if we were really hungry from the walking tour of the distillery, but I had the "Featherblade" sandwich with dipping sauce, and that may have been the best sandwich I ever had eaten. Definitely will go back to Bernie's if I'm ever in the area again. It's a MUST try.
