Babushka Kitchen Cafe in Portrush is a charming spot with a relaxed vibe and beautiful seaside views. Their menu highlights locally sourced, fresh ingredients, offering a great variety of brunch options. The coffee is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Service is friendly and efficient, making it a lovely place to unwind. Perfect for a brunch while enjoying the stunning coastal scenery.

Such a great spot for breakfast! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the avocado breakfast and a hot chocolate—both were fantastic. I asked for hot sauce at the counter, which isn’t typical for an Irish breakfast (lol), and although they didn’t have any, the owner (I later Googled and realized it was him) came to our table three times with different sauces from the kitchen for me to try. That’s what I call going the extra mile! Excellent job overall. I may not be back soon since I’m from Malaysia, but I definitely wanted to leave these well-deserved stars!

Best café in Portrush by a mile. Food and service excellent. The view of the beach can’t be beaten. Try the sticky bacon bap it is excellent. As were the smoky beans. We ate here twice on a short trip visiting Portrush. Coffee also excellent.

Always a must when we come to portrush .tea and a salted caramel square outside ! It was just delightful and never fails to bring back memories . You can however sit inside , my husband had the soup that day ,and said it was delicious .you can eat here outside and watch the world go by ! I certainly recommend it !

Mmmm didn’t know about this place , great location , we live locally and very rarely come anywhere within portrush dues to the crowds , but we did this morning . Tables and. Hairs are so close together I could hear the chat from two blokes sitting behind us . Coffee was good , service was good , my other half had the avocado toast it looked fine , I had the bacon French toast , french toast was fine the bacon however was the smallest back bacon I ve ever seen , the vanilla cream was ok but the coffee infused caramel was sickening. - we ve tried it , we ll drive into Coleraine next time go to Rocca or culture coffee , sorry disappointed

THE best cookie I ever had! And I'm very hard to please when it comes to cookies as usually they are either too dry or to soft or too chewy or too crumbly. This one though... Definitely worth coming back all the way from Germany ;) Also the rest was really good! Gingerbread cake was fluffy and moist and not too sweet and coffee was just great. Staff was fantastic and helpful in making sure everything we had was vegan. Thanks for this amazing experience!

This place was great before & during covid. Now however, poor quality, high prices, rude & inexperienced staff & the smell of fried food just puts you off. I bought a takeaway coffee & hot chocolate. Both cold so we didn’t finish them - again. I asked if they had any Anzac biscuits (probably the best food this place does) & the girl looked at me as if I was speaking another language. After a few seconds she said, ‘no we don’t have any’ so I asked if she actually knew what they were & she said no! Don’t lie then! I waited outside for my drinks as it was too smelly inside. When she came out I asked if she could provide cup holders as I wanted to walk with the drinks & was told no problem. A few mins later another staff member came out with the drinks but without the cup holders & when I asked about this she said ‘we didn’t say we had any’. Absolutely not worth the stress & I won’t be back which is a shame as it was our local.

I didn’t personally eat here however my friend ate the sticky bacon bap and she gave it a 5/5 rating. I had an oat latte, t’was nice. The disappointment for me personally was the change of menu from the online version so what I was super excited for was no longer available. Boooooo. The server was friendly and the food was served quickly. The setting was unique overlooking the water. Overall I recommend a visit

I am not normally one to leave a review but feel as if I need to for this establishment. Overall it was a very poor experience here unfortunately. Waited for our order to be taken for quite a while, waited more than an hour for food with very little communication about this from the start. Had to wait to pay and were very rudely kicked out of the cafe. At this time, there were other customers who were wanting to go in but decided to take their business else where due to the lack of customer service. Once let back in to pay, I politely mentioned that my group had a not so pleasant dining experience here to which the response was poor. I was told “can’t you see we’re busy?”, not even an apology or acknowledgement at all. Very disappointing as the cafe is in a very beautiful location and the food was good when it eventually came out. Open to discussing our experience with the business.

First went there in 2021and had a latte.....been going there since whenever visiting Portrush. Haven't had a meal but enjoyed the coffee - perfect ( although the price for size of the cup is a bit mean even if it is classed as "artisan" , it's like the size of a flat white cup at other places), the traybakes and snacks are amazing and the ice-cream of course, being Morellis, is good. Convenience to the beach and harbour add real value and the outside sitting is something special really considering the location.

Prepare to wait an eternity just to place an order. C.40 minutes. The only reason I ever made it to the till was the attrition of those in-front of me. Based on the owners responses your not allowed to complain about the price or quality of the food. If you leave a negative review apparently they can make up a fictional story about your conduct too. I didn’t speak to anyone other than in placing my order and I’ve somehow berated the whole team. if you think you served me in 7 minutes your watch doesn’t keep time.

Charged £5.00 for a traybake and cup of hot water. Thought it must be a mistake. Went back to query price and was told traybake £3.20 and charged £1.80 for hot water. Outrageous! Was told very ungraciously cost of heating water. Will never be back.

Great location but a pity about the abysmally slow service. Told to take a seat and someone would come and take our order. After 10 mins husband went up give our order of drinks and tray bakes. Tray bakes delivered eaten and after 20 mins still no coffees/ teas. Again went up to the till and asked about order. They apologised had forgotten. But did say they would do it. Came down to our table 5 mins later and retook our order. At this we asked for takeaway drinks and left. Disappointed our first visit and unfortunately our last..

Wow! Just read down through the reviews and this owner really bites back at customers who express dissatisfaction. Perhaps a class in customer service is on their to do list! Very unhappy with our breakfast. I had avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of bacon. I asked for my eggs extra runny. My friend had granola. Eggs were hard, bacon was over cooked and they forgot the granola. When the granola came it was just granola and yoghurt no fruit nothing else. Waited ages too and by the time breakfast came my tea was finished. Lovely location right on the sea. Disappointing as it could do so much better.

Called in for breakfast with friends at 09.45. Told kitchen would be opening “soon.” When my friend enquired if this would be in the next hour the staff member could not give us an answer, instead opting to rant about the longer he was kept talking the longer it would take. We decided to leave and find somewhere else. He was still ranting something as we left. We are locals and understand there are staffing issues everywhere at the minute. A simple yes or no would have been great. Terrible service, has really put us off coming back.

In all my many years of drinking coffee in cafes I have never been charged extra to get the milk on the side for our coffee heated, well that was until yesterday. We ordered two cups of coffee and asked that the milk on the side for the coffees be heated, instead of the normal cold milk that is supplied. Our coffees were served with the smallest container (test tube size)of hot milk. My wife on going to pay was asked for an additional 20p as we had asked for the milk to be heated. Whilst 20p is not a great amount of money, I think this cafe has shot itself in the foot as we will never be back in it again.
