Spill the beans Cafes are more than just places to get a daily shot and a pastry. They are sites of conversation, connection, and creativity. They help  alleviate loneliness, spark romances, maintain friendships and build community. Ireland now has a thriving cafe scene, and in this programme, Brian O'Connell explores the human stories inside some of Cork's cafes. Brian hears from the cafe owners who are trying to build communities, and spends time with a diverse and sometimes enlightening collection of customers, who are also drawn inside by a need for social connection.
