Lovely little café. Perfect for a coffee and relaxing stay to enjoy views of the beach

Awful. Undercooked poached egg, burnt bacon. Cold toast. Coffee was nice to be fair. Place was freezing - could see my breath. Overpriced food. Staff nice enough.

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.

Coffee is on point. Had a bacon bap - highly recommend as its delicious. Indeed the rest of our party all thought highly of the food quality. Its a lovely place. The owner or manager we encountered should probably be back of house as he was quite stressed and passive aggressive needlessly. Hes brought a great product to the town and ill go back for the baps! Hopefully im not too much of an inconvenience next time im back! Keep up with the great tasting food / coffee and do cheer up :)

Popped in with the family for a quick take away coffee and treat. Didn’t see any prices displayed, but chose a modestly sized caramel square. Shocked to discover they charged £ 2:80!! Outrageously expensive, and mediocre too. Don’t like being ripped off. Definitely won’t be 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.

We visited when they teamed up with Yumi sushi (I think thats who it was) and it was incredibly delicious. I had a coffee whilst I waited and was nearly blown away, but the wait in the wind was worth it once we had the sushi. The cakes are fab too. Nice little beach stop for a coffee and bun.

Definitely limited by current restrictions, ordered through a tiny window that's popped open (not a custom hatch) but greeted by a friendly staff and most importantly the coffee is flavorsome. It's the small cup type, not the buckets like in coffee chains, so you know it's the good stuff.

I am a local and a regular customer.The coffee and bakes here are overpriced for a takeaway however I like the setting/view so I' have been prepared a bit extra for that.. However I had an appalling experience on Sunday afternoon, after paying just over £11 for 2 coffees and tray bakes, I asked the server to clear & wipe down my table - empty cups and spilled coffee from previous occupants. The server abruptly replied she had no time and gave me a wad of paper towel to do it myself ! I explained calmly that it was not unreasonable to ask her to clean the table as I was no going to clean up the last occupants mess, She was rude and refused. I asked to speak to the manager,I explained again that I should not be expected to clean up someone else's mess at the table- the manager /supervisor was equally reluctant to clean my table- stating they had been 'run off their feet' she would give me paper towels, were run off their feet'and she would give me paper to do it myself, The cafe had a number of people around but was not unduly busy. As I tried to put my position across and highlight their responsibility re Covid 19 , she cut me off abruptly stating _'We will just leave it at that' , I had no option but to return to a dirty table. The supervisor eventually came to our table , removed the previous occupants coffee cups but it was very apparent she was resentful. I have never experienced such rudeness and complete lack of respect for customer service. I have spent good money here over the years, and supported the business during the lockdowns , but I will not be back. There is no absolutely excuse for refusing to clean a table for a customer !!

My partner and I decided to try this wee cafe out, while we were waiting for keys to be cut at the local market. On arrival at the cafe, there is hand gel on each of the tables and that the tables are separated via a perspective screen. The waitress had a mask and gloves on when taking our order. This was re assuring given the pandemic of covid 19. I ordered a fry which I could tailor to my own requirements (I am vegetarian) and my partner had a filled soda. The food was delicious and the portions ample. The serving staff are really helpful and friendly. The prices are reasonable. Definitely check it out if your in Coleraine, you will not be disappointed.
