Starting my morning at Aroma was an absolute delight! The quality of the coffee was exceptional, delivering the perfect kick-start to my day. The atmosphere was cosy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I'll definitely be returning for more of their delicious brews and delightful service!

They are not very good in clearing tables after customers. Before I asked to clear table we were waiting for 17 minutes. It wasn’t first time…

Sign says cafe - unfortunately that’s rather misleading. If you just want a coffee or ice cream, fine. Myself and a friend were looking for somewhere for lunch in Larne - nothing fancy, even soup or a fresh sandwich. Disappointing that the only sandwiches are pre-packaged and bought in from a chain that supplies garages/convenience shops etc. nothing else but a sausage roll. Plenty of traybakes. I’ve never known a cafe/restaurant to not prepare any hot food at all. Two ladies at next table had a sausage roll each- literally that, no side salad or garnish. Appalling for this day and age. I don’t know how the cafes in Larne stay open - probably because the three existent on the Main Street are as bad as each other and people have no other choice . God help any tourists looking for a nice lunch or meal - where do they go in Larne?

I lived in Larne for some time and remember I had been to this nice coffee shop one day where I ate a lip-smacking muffin. After some time, I'm happy to find that the quality hasn't subdued a bit and muffins and other savouries taste as good as they used to

Lovely coffee. The staff tho, very unwelcoming. Not a single greeting, even tho all three girls saw us come in. Tables dirty, ugly atmosphere. Will deffo not be back. Basic costumer service is not hard girls and I do the same job as you, if you have a bad day don’t take it out on the customers that pay your wages.

Awesome cafe to visit right on the main street. I often would get a latte takeaway and it was always very quick, there's a wee takeaway sitting area right at the front door for you to wait at once you've placed your order so you're not standing around like a clampet. Yeah got recommended a white chocolate latte once, unreal.. I told a few friends about it and it's now their favourite too. Honeycomb is good too, oh and vanilla of course. The spicy sausage roll is great, stay away from the vegan sausage roll though 😅 Thank you to the Aroma team for keeping me awake all these years. 👍

🕵️♀️🕵️♀️ Where was I today 🕵️♀️🕵️♀️ What is your go to hot drink beverage 🤔 I ❤️ 🍵 I stopped drinking tea at home and at work at the start of this year because after around 12 cups 🍵🍵 adding two sugars and full milk daily the waistline needed attention but you do need a treat once in a while don't you 🤷♀️🤔 I am an occasional mystery shopper for companies and also do product reviews so why not be a mystery tea drinker 🤔🍵 I decided to treat myself every Saturday & Sunday to a cuppa in different restaurants, cafés & drink establishments and review the visit afterwards. For my second visit on Sunday I called in at Aroma Coffee House Larne I love the colour scheme they have going inside and out, matching the logo and everything. There is seating downstairs and upstairs with some comfy intimate chairs if you are wanting a chinwag with the other half or friend these are ideal. A sanitiser station is available at the front and you literally get the red carpet treatment going up to the counter. Another added feature is a waiting area for ones waiting on a takeaway.Great idea 👏 A very clean establishment and good atmosphere. Fab selection of hot & cold drinks, Morelli Ice-cream , tray bakes, sandwiches, wraps, sausage rolls, scones and a new gluten free selection. One to one service as you pay at the till and they bring it down to you. Really great to see them supporting local artist Michelle Montgomery Photography with a selection of her work on the walls. 🏷️£1.95 for a pot of tea that I got two cups out of. I would give them a ❤❤❤❤ out of 5 because there's an unsightly black bin in the middle as soon as you come in to dispose of napkins (I know this is so the staff don't need to touch but could be more discreet or be placed elsewhere) the staff unfortunately plugged in the hoover beside my table, opened the door and hoovered the rugs at the front. I was freezing 🥶

For my second place being a Mystery Tea Drinker I called in at the Aroma Coffee house on Larne, Main Street. I love the colour scheme they have going inside and out, matching the company logo and everything. A very clean place. There is seating downstairs and upstairs with some comfy intimate chairs if you are wanting a chinwag with the other half or friend this would be ideal. Unfortunately there is no lift to the next floor for the disabled or elderly. A sanitizer station is prominently situated at the front and you literally get the red carpet treatment going up to the counter.

Fab selection of hot & cold drinks, Morelli ice cream, tray bakes, sandwiches, wraps, sausage rolls, scones and a new gluten free selection. One to one service as you pay at the till and they bring it down to you. Really great to see the promotion of a local artist Michelle Montgomery Photography on the walls. Price - £1.95 for the pot of tea and I got two cups, no free refill. Lovely clean white cup. I would give them a ❤❤❤❤ out of 5 because there's an unsightly black bin in the middle to dispose of napkins that could be changed or be placed elsewhere (I can understand the objective here with Covid etc) plus the staff plugged in the hoover beside my table, opened the door and hoovered the rugs at the front.

Aroma Coffee House is actually a regular spot for me, so I was surprised to find out that I have never given it a review before so here it is. There are alot of cafes in Larne Town Centre but if you want good coffee I can only recommend Aroma Coffee House because to be honest that's what they are all about. They have a nice compfy interior and there is an upstairs when the downstairs area is busy. I would personally love to see them invest in more of a range of coffee blends in the near future. They also do sandwiches, sausage rolls and a range of tray bakes as well but as I said before it is all about the coffee in this local establishment.

Aroma is the finest example of an independent coffee house. The first noticeable positive was the manner of the staff, especially Olivia and Paige, nothing was too much trouble and they made time for all customers young and old while getting on with their duties. The staff also had a great rapport with each other.Aroma isn't just a coffee shop, it's a combination of a great range of food, moreish coffee and genuinely hard working, friendly staff.My visit exceeded my expectations and the ambience was enhanced especially by the customer service which would put any major chain to shame.

I am a regular customer of this cafe and, what can I say; the service, value, and selection of food and drinks on offer are absolutely top notch. Every single one of the staff are polite, helpful, courteous, and go that extra mile to ensure everyone has a pleasant and enjoyable time in the cafe. I would firmly disagree with anyone saying any of the staff are letting the side down, as in my 2 years of being a daily customer, I have had no bad experiences or disappointments. The service has been super! This cafe is by far the best in the town, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone as the place to go for everything from a quick cup of tea on the go, to a sit down lunch.Well done Sharon, you've got a great team working for you, keep up the good work.

Sadly, we will NEVER forget our last visit. There was a female customer who was obviously unwell and she had the vilest cough anyone could imagine. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SUITED TO A HOSPITAL BED than any café. She should NEVER have been permitted to stay in an establishment or environment serving food and drink to the public, potentially spreading God alone knows what infection, especially to those highly susceptible to ANY infection. I CAN HEAR IT NOW. WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE THEN IF IT WAS THAT BAD? Having just spent £10, we were not about to waste what we had purchased, and at the time we were served, the woman was not yet in the café. A member of staff should have politely asked the woman to vacate the café and refunded her. There is NO WAY on this earth that the members of staff who were on duty that day, could EVER FORGET the disgusting noise being created by this woman, and the unpleasant facial expressions of certain members of staff, equally showed their disgust. The woman made it even worse by her extreme vocal running commentary. It was repulsive!!! To say that it was absolutely disgusting that customers had to sit and listen to this woman virtually vomiting, because of her extremely congested chest, would be the biggest understatement. Sadly we shall not be returning after this event. THE STAFF >>MUST<< CONSIDER THE WELFARE OF THEIR CLIENTÈLE. People, if you're KNOWINGLY sick, DO NOT SPREAD YOUR INFECTION TO OTHERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW THE REPERCUSSIONS IT COULD CAUSE TO THOSE WHO ARE OLDER AND TO ANY WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INFECTION.

This is a really nice family run pub which serves the best food on the Antrim coast. We’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints Their chicken stack is by far the best I’ve had - and I’ve had a few! The warm chicken and bacon salad is also delicious. All still very good value!

The Rinka is my childhood ice cream shop. It has really unique flavours like toffee apple during autum. The prices seem to be fixed as they haven’t been changed in years. The Rinka has plenty of affordable sweets and my favourite toys I had as a kid. All I have else to say is that everytime I go there I am hit with nastalga, yet it is still up to date.

We recently visited Taste Coffee and Restaurant in Larne, and it was such a fantastic experience that we completely forgot to take pictures! Thankfully, I found some on their Facebook page, but they hardly do justice to how great this place is. The food was incredible, with so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and the chips and shakes were an absolute must-try! The service was super fast, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. A special shoutout to Joanne, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. If you’re in Larne and looking for the best cafe in town, Taste is a must-visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can’t wait to come back!

Carriages Bistro, Larne 4th August 2024 There are a number of conflicting reviews about this place. When we ate there, the previously-mentioned problems were very much in evidence. The service was lackadaisical, with waitresses too busy exchanging local gossip to pay attention to guests. At the end of our meal, I had to stand up and find a waitress in order to pay my bill. (We’d finished our meal 10 minutes earlier). The food: I had Scampi and “creamed potato”. Creamed potatoes were mentioned before in this review site. Mine were barely warm, and lumpy. I have known how to make creamed potatoes since I was 10 years old. It’s hard to believe that anyone on the island of Ireland does not know how to prepare this simple potato dish. I asked for carrots and peas as my vegetables. The carrots were at room temperature. The peas were tinned processed peas – almost unheard of in this day and age. They reminded me of school lunches in the ‘60s. I must say, however, that my scampi was delicious. I’ve seen some good and bad reviews of this place – an equal balance between hit and miss. Our night was a miss. Maybe a manager or a team leader was missing, or (and) maybe a head chef was missing. Poor service; poor food standard.
