Applegreen in Newtownabbey

This is our go to if we're out shopping. Rather than the usual coffee shops at nearby Abbey Centre, we go to Applegreen, which is usually less packed and if we're lucky, Greggs might have some Jammie Heart biscuits left. Lavazza coffee shop, Greggs, Chop Stix, Subway and Burger King are on site, along with the well stocked forecourt shop were you can grab a takeaway tea or coffee.

I arranged to meet a friend here for coffee today at 5pm but the coffee place was closed. I had to use the bathroom and went to wash my hands and no water!!! Not one tap in the whole place worked. I don't know how many times I have used Applegreen at Templepateick and have always been disappointed. The place is usually dirty, especially the toilets and previously used the bathrooms with no hand soap and also no hand dryers. I think it is unacceptable that bathroom facilites have no running water taps, what is going on!!!

Great place to break your journey.Planty of parking toilets and outside seating Excellent choice of fast foods and comfortable upstairs lounge

Beautiful and clean with good food and nice coffee

Great 👌 place I recommend to everyone. Great service and really nice atmosphere

Huge spot with amazing facilities and 4 different places to get coffee! The staff working in the main Applegreen shop were so so friendly. Also present is Greggs, Chopstix, LaVazza, Subway and Burger King with many seats available. Also has a fuel station and lorry/bus parking round the back. However, do note that it is only really accessible on the way out of Belfast and not to Belfast.

Stopped to fast-charge my car early so I didn't have coffee. Really handy location and lot of facilities and choices.

Good selection of food not bad

Everything you need. Didn't like the burger king touch screens to order food. I couldn't get it to work so I went and grabbed a sandwich instead which was far too expensive

Used bakewell for breakfast. Very nice

Good service station, with some really nice food outlets.

After picking up my car from Belfast International Airport, I found a unique place to relax. This spot has everything you need, from snacks and drinks to a spacious car park. I enjoyed a coffee and relaxed before having my lunch. The car park is huge, making it easy to find a spot. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind after a flight.

Male (Asian appearance) serving was rude. Disrespectfully ushered my wife and I along from servibg area. We had ordered food and awaiting coffee. His gestures weere not what I expect as a overseas visiting tourist. Will not recommend templepatrick Applegreen.

Toilets are disgusting. Drivers shower are disgusting. HGV Derv pumps don't work half times.

Only called in for fuel, ended up buying lunch for the big lad & myself, lol. Nice food, good variety, coffee was a must. Value for money.

Visited applegreen to discover they don't sell any period products neither towels or tampons. There was also no dispensing machine in the bathroom from which to purchase them either. This is just not good enough.

Leaving the craziness of Belfast nice to be able to stop for a coffee

Very rude worker at the Bakewell. The young lady made a nasty face when i asked for beans with my sausage bap. Then when my friend asked if they had anymore beans she rolled her eyes sighed, and said “you want me to put on MORE beans?”. And when she did they were cold. What happened to service with a smile…. Very disappointed.

Good parking for trucks! Free! There is a shower toilet shop! Washing machines do not work (

Petru, truck drivers, there is a bathroom on the corner of the building when you enter Peco, open 24 hours, washing machine, lighted, quiet, a grant with water for the sewage pump for the trucks would also be needed, otherwise great.

Clean rest stop with everything you need, hot or prepackaged food, drink, fuel, and travel items. Have seen these all over New York and New Jersey. Surprised to learn it's an Irish firm. Good experience.

Does serve self serve fuel, 24hrs, but the shop, IS NOT, Open 24hourly. 🤔 I'm guessing, upon observation, the shop opens at 6, till late, pending on your interpretation, of what is, late🤔🤔🤔

The establishment is conveniently situated and easily accessible for travelers on extended motorway journeys. The cleanliness and hygiene standards are satisfactory. The service is efficient and prompt. The self-service shopping option provides an opportunity for some physical activity after a lengthy drive. While the pricing varies, I observed that the fast food and coffee options could be more reasonably priced.

It's very handy when traveling north out of Belfast. Easy access, food, drinks, and fuel are available. There is no access when traveling south towards Belfast

Easy access with plenty of parking and plenty of options inside.

Yeah great fast food subway and burger king stop get fuel and on the go food nice staff very friendly

Everything you need for a quick stop and fill up.Lots of food choices, clean toilets and free parking

Great for food wide choice including burger king, Chinese, and Greggs. Toilets are always super clean. There is a shop sells sweets and drinks plenty of seating too

It's a glorified service station if its not fried it's deep fried or wrapped in pastry long gone are the days were you could actually get some home cooking instead of fast food rubbish.

Great choice of food and drinks, need more on the motorway

Bloody disgrace, HGV pumps are NEVER working.

I was there on Saturday the place looked very busy I went upstairs for coffee where I drank the best coffee I have ever had the girls were very nice and made my day I will definitely come back Thank you Ola and Maria

The coffee up the stairs is so good 👍

Wide selection of food available

Always very clean and toilets spotless… My only issue today is as a blue badge driver all the spaces 4 were occupied and not 1 of the vehicles were displaying a disabled badge…. I’ve found this a problem on my last few visits… Could you please check this out for future visits… Thank you!

Served by a girl with blue hair at Bakewell disgusting her behaviour very rude and not helpful at all mabye needs re training on how to deal with members of the public avoid

Been stopping here for years for fuel in both the car and bike. Today, after I had filled the bike up (with helmet on) and then proceeded into pay at the till, where as I had the money in my hand ready to pay, I was told by the till clerk that I had to remove my helmet which is connected by headset to my phone, because apparently handing money over with a helmet on is a "security risk". Never in all the years I have been using the services here have I been asked to remove my helmet and surely it would make more sense to ask over the tannoy system to remove it before turning the pump on. I asked the clerk what happened over COVID with people coming in with face masks on or indeed what would happen if someone came in with a burka on? I then had to return to my bike, where I looked at the warning signs around the pump and there is no mention anywhere of removing helmets. I then had to get my phone out to reconnect my headset which isn't allowed and nothing was said. I feel slightly discriminated against.

Very busy, ladies toilet floor very wet, big leak

Fresh food and served with a smile chop stiks

Had food from Burger King it was good I don't usually eat from fast food but was happy with service.

I have never been before , so many places to eat amazing choice too . It was very clean and only had the nice smells associated with food halls .

Not much to say really. Filling station, shop and plenty of food options. Always busy but handy for a wee break after a bit of a drive. Decent car parking and plenty of tables/seats for a sit down.

Not the best applegreen I've ever been too. Has all the basics, better services in templepatrick village at BP garage

Literally the worst shop in the north west can just about find a bag of crisps and bottle of water and literally extortionate prices. Walked up to the til after the customer in front of me was served and the girl behind the til put her hand up to my face to stay stop while I was stood at the counter and walked away without physically saying anything to go talk to someone on shop floor while I and the 3 customers behind me had to wait. The most unbearable shop bar the one boy that’s always really friendly and always makes jokes with fair hair.

It's always a bit of a hit and miss. The coffee shop upstairs is always good but the burger king in my experience is a bit of a gamble as more than once I've received a cold burger. Subway is the biggest hit with the public but alas that means humongous queues and stressed out staff. The place isn't always the cleanest and some of the furniture could do with being replaced.

Is the Revolution Laundrette working now? Checked already 2 times and was out of order

Lot of choice of food,very clean and busy

Haven't replaced any of the seating upstairs since they've opened. Carpet and furniture are disgusting and no one seems to be capable of organising a cleaning of tables, floor etcetera. Only good thing about the place is the coffee.

Great place to refuel both your car and yourself, toilets are clean and plenty of food to choose from

Dont order the chicken royal, because the chicken was too quick to get into the burger,.

Great service station! Very clean & great range of food and shop items.

Great service and very useful facilities

Great service station with plenty of food options on offer

Fairly overpriced for fuel and food

Great services. Not sure what happened to Burger King. They seem to have closed down.

Prices for rubbish fast food were extortionate. Also very average food which was just about warm. Bad experience

Got there at 10pm almost all the food stalls were closed. Shop was working. Burger King was open but had only kids cheese burgers left. Everyone else closed. Poor services for late night traveller.

Very handy when setting out from Belfast.

Airport style rest stop with airport prices. Looks clean and well kept.

Great placevto get fuel and food top class

Always call in here when we go to Belfast. Excellent service!

Made the mistake of choosing to stop for some breakfast. Ordered the 7 piece cooked breakfast from the Bakewell for myself and my husband. To say it was the worst food I have ever paid for is an understatement, the food was so dried out you couldn't even cut it with the wooden cutlery provided, I ordered a hot chocolate which was basically a hot milk. After a few minutes trying to get through the shrivelled up dry and over-salty food we gave up and went to Greggs for edible food. Such a pity, why bother to give customers a proper plate and then put substandard food on the plate along with wooden cutlery not capable of cutting the dried poor quality food. Very, very disappointed with the Bakewell.

Stopped to charge my car. Typical Applegreen, with a range of outlets for a snack.

I always love Applegreen. Coffee, Diesel and toilets

BAKEWELL Put some Ketchup on the breakfast box and drop the attitude. Think green and stop encouraging superfluous plastic usage. Referred to AG Mgt. for environmental policy response.

Stuff so dear.sanwiches were awlful

Scones,coffee and muffin very tasty, but the table tops and under table floors look they are missed in the keep up hygiene , its just afternoon and the food remnants under the table are at least from yesterday. I really enjoyed my Coffee with a scone n muffin in spite of this.

Convenient location, great choices

Excellent service area. Plenty of food choice. Cooked breakfast was excellent

Clean, tidy, and convenient stop on the way out of Belfast.

Good place for a pit stop.⛽️ Toilets, lots of free parking, shop, cafes, restaurants.🚽🚗☕️🍽️

On the motorway, it's a great place to fill up the vehicle and your tummy.

Good toilet facilities, plenty of choice for food and lots of parking

Very friendly place love my coffee and ballista Ola😍😍😍

Always good for a fry and a cup of tea in the morning at the Bakewell or chinese at chopstix in the evening on the way to football

Well placed for commuting northbound on M2. Greggs etc close too early I think.

This place has something for everyone - even free toilets! There should be loads more Apple Greens in N. Ireland.

I go to Applegreen most mornings to get fuel, there is a little lady with accent who always smiles. She has t been there last 2 weeks and the place looks messy. Toilets are unclean and not up to standard. I saw a man who is cleaner one afternoon outside on his phone while this lady was inside working hard. Why was woman cleaning male loos while the guy was outside? Do we use people from other countries to work here while the NI people talk on phone? No wonder NI people are in the Dole as they don’t want to work! Applegreen get your act together!!’

great place to shop and have a lot of food choice

Truck fuel stop is unmaintained extremely dirty, fuel leaking from hand pump unit, zip tie keeping it together, old sand on the ground along with rubbish,no disposable gloves and keypad numbers worn off the terminal, its obvious there is no maintenance in this area because the sand bucket is empty!!!

Had reason to use the toilets in this station And on entering the men’s loos there was a lady cleaner in the loos cleaning while men were doing what had to be done I was shock to find this surly if a man was in the lady’s loos it wouldn’t be right with ladies doing there stuff Ridiculous and think this is wrong and should not happen unless there is a sign displayed cleaning in progress

Nice shop staff could be a bit friendlier but still good

Walked into applegreen tonight to use the rest rooms and wen I walked in there was a male cleaner ,, to my surprise this man never left this restroom whilst I used the facilities I find this completely and utterly unacceptable, I felt completely uncomfortable and couldn't even have imagined the thought of any my young daughters using the rest room whilst a man was present in the facility, I phoned up to complain and it was a woman who answered and didn't even seem bothered, I'm not even going to comprehend how a young vulnerable child or woman would feel using any restroom that is clearly stated for womans use only to then have a man who won't leave wen a woman enters the restroom. Totally unacceptable

Avoid bakewell awful food awful service !!! Asked for plate for our overdone food was told no as they close at 2pm we asked at 1.20 pm !!!

Standard motorway services in Ireland - way better than those in England.

Shop staff super friendly all times off the day amazing staff

As good as/better than services in england, I mean it should be being like the only one in the north

we were at xhop stix and the food was lovely and great value for money

What can you say about Applegreen other than its a handy pit stop. For refuelling yourself or the car.

The web site said chopstix open till 20.30 when into services at 20.13 chopstix all closed up they need to update their opening times

It's a big filling station with eating places attached to the side. Does exactly what it's intended to do.

Nice range of food places of you need it, usually busy but not packed.

Aways call in for a Greg's sausage roll if I'm on this part of the motorway. Gotta love a Greg's lol

Great place to stop for refreshments friendly staff

Has everything you could need for a pit stop - and more. Hot food outlets, coffee, convince store, toilets, play area for kids, fuel, car bulbs, oil, and cleaning supplies.

Never had a bad time in this place so many different food vendors to choose from plus a shop to get your essential needs and clean toilets which is always a plus

Have used this place many many time's while driving my car. Food coffee is all great so 4 stars for that but recently I stopped to fuel my motorbike, pulled up at pump and filled the tank with my helmet on and went in too pay for my fuel with my helmet on, the person doing the till orders me to take my helmet off as it's illegal too wear it. That's complete rubbish I said. He then brings another colleague over and he tells me the same🤣😂No where in law does it state that wearing a crash helmet in a shop/business is illegal. Yes a business can request you to remove your helmet but the lack of signage requesting helmets too be removed and the attitude of the till workers/assistants left alot to be desired. Think my 2 or 3 fuel, coffee and food stops every week will be in Antrim. No need for attitude and ignorance. Would you mind taking your helmet off, that's polite. Take your helmet off it's illegal just came across as pure attitude and ignorance

If you want a break from driving it's a good place to stop for a quick bite. Not too expensive, which makes a change for a Service Station.

Plenty to choose from food wise,friendly staff
