Blooms Tea Rooms in Newtownabbey

Went here today for Breakfast. Truly lovely people very welcoming and a lovely Breakfast too. Best in the high Street and great value for money. Some people of Prestatyn if you have tried the rest now try the best you won't be disappointed x

Holy heavens ,they don't miss ya in this place ,Chelsea prices in ballyclare, hadn't been back home for a while but the price of this brekie was eye watering ,an omelette served with toast and two sausages with Americano weighed in at £15.00 each

Visited Blooms on Wednesday 17 August for a catch up with my friend. Excited to see gluten-free options. When gf toasted sandwich arrived it was on the wrong bread and when I spoke to the waitress her response was beyond absolute and total rudeness - she walked off back to the kitchen during my conversation with her.I had to get up and put the sandwich back on top of their counter and tell them I can’t eat this. I still can’t believe how rude she was and obviously totally lacking in food allergy education. Being coeliac is difficult enough when trying to find somewhere to eat but when met with a response liked I experienced it definitely makes you just want to stay at home. Change of staff and attitude seriously recommended if your business is to survive. Definitely would not recommend to anyone coeliac unless you are desperate. I actually joined trip advisor to leave this review as I’m still in shock over the staffs attitude!

Had a lovely lunch today chicken goujons with a lovely mixed salad, perfect, staffed by lovely young girls, very friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Needed to find somewhere for a late lunch before we hit the motorway and this place came up on Tripadvisor. Great food, lovely selection. Fab apple tart. Very friendly staff. Word of warning, payment is cash only, as we only had cards with us. All the dining areas are set up like rooms in a house, so very homely feel. Everything served in old fashioned chinaware, which adds further to the charm of the place. Great to be back indoor dining again.

Went with my daughter 1st time for coffee ,.have been back again for lunch the scones and tea/ coffee was lovely. Had the curry rice and chips for lunch big portion couldnt finish it all .The staff are really nice and the decor seating etc are lovely.Really clean and 5 stars on the door.

Visited Blooms with friends initially just for coffee and a scone but decided to have brunch as had missed breakfast. Had a filled soda and WOW it was massive couldn’t eat it all nice and warm and latte was delicious only negative was that it was very cold while sitting waiting on food and ate my food with my coat on definitely in need of some heating but decor beautiful and lovely ambiance but severely lacked heat

Lovely scone and flat white. This place is beautifully decorated with different rooms to sit in with cosy settees and chairs in each room, nice atmosphere. Food is beautifully displayed, lovely tray bakes, cakes, cheesecakes and also lunch. Staff very friendly and a lovely gift shop downstairs. Well worth a visit.

This is a fab place for either a meal or coffee and bun. The food is lovely and good variety. Difference specials on each day.

Lovely surroundings and pleasant friendly staff. Food was just ok. I ordered quiche and chips and got just that. No garnish, tomatoe or anything to colour the plate at all.

What a lovely Saturday afternoon spent here with my friend for her 30th Birthday. The food was plentiful & delicious & the staff went over & above to make sure it was a special experience. I highly recommend the afternoon tea if you fancy a nice treat, it’s probably the best one I have been too baring in mind I have experienced quite a few The Merchant hotel being one of them. Definitely worth a visit, I can’t wait to go back already.

This place is very comfy - great sofas. It has a relaxed unhurried atmosphere. The food is fine. Carryout sandwich was ok. Scones are pleasant. Staff are very nice and do a good job. It isn’t claiming to be anything other than what it is. Somewhere that is warm, comfortable, with pleasant staff and fare that appeals to most people.

Called into Blooms last week for a spot of lunch from start to finish It was great very friendly staff great food and amazing desserts... definitely would recommend Blooms to anyone

Went today with two friends we all had 9 piece fries , the food was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent from the super friendly staff. Simon

I have been to a number of venues for afternoon tea but so far this one tops them all. The staff are so friendly and helpful and can accommodation special requests for sandwiches. We were shown into a small cosy room with a tv and offered Apple juice or procecco. At time of booking we were offered the £10 or £15 tea and we chose the latter. Our afternoon tea consisted of vegetable soup in a China cup with Guinness bread. Followed by well filled sandwiches, mini sausage rolls, vol u vents, cream scones and a small pale of chips! Then there was another cake stand filled with delicious mini cakes and cream buns! It was amazing!

If you ever need a reason to visit Ballyclare this is it. I have visited this spot on several occasions before and whilst Ballyclare has numerous coffee shops to choose from the others all have a lot to learn from Blooms. My most recent visit...

Popped in to this wonderful tearoom for a late lunch today and what a treat was in store! Lovely fresh toasties, service with a smile and perfect flat white! So wish we’d had space to try the yummy cakes too...next time!

Second visit for afternoon tea to Blooms- I had rang to book for my mum's birthday and immediately felt we were going to enjoy this! I was asked mum's favourite sandwich and also if any preferences or allergies. We were warmly welcomed and had our...

Great for a light snack or lunch. Really lovely decor and comfy chairs and sofas in intimate spaces.

Relaxed atmosphere,friendly staff,very reasonable prices.Plenty of choice,great coffee and variety of scones etc.

First time visiting was this month but i don’t think we will be rushing back. Lovely decoration inside and friendly staff but the food was a big let down and the prices. Far to expensive for very little. Also got a shock after leaving my...

Went here for afternoon tea which was great paid 30 pound for two afternoon teas did the four of us. Scones, sandwhich, soup , chips , sauage rolls and traybakes, plus hot and cold drinks. Few tiny things to improve on such as a card...

Lots of comfortable seating, shown to sofa and given extensive menu. All food being served looked amazing. Had scones and tea. Scone soft and warm, absolutely beautiful. Quick efficient service, reasonable pricing. Look forward to returning for lunch.

My friends and I have been to Blooms several times and it has always been good. Delicious food, pleasant and efficient staff, and comfy seating. We love the way the rooms are set out so that you can always find a suitable place to sit.

My hubby and I went here for breakfast while staying at Dunamoy Cottages and Spa. My hubby had the mini fry and I had French toast. Very good value and friendly staff Lovely touch using the Royal Albert china. Your hot drink comes with a...

I visited Blooms with a group of friends (about 9 of us), due to the quirky layout we filled one of the small rooms, leaving it a bit cramped for anyone trying to get to the other table. The staff were friendly when ordering and...

My wife had mentioned this establishment a number of times in passing, without giving any detail. She had met friends there and taken friends there but not until Saturday had she suggested that I go with her! We had been in Ballyclare and suggested that...

friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, good food, nicely served. The use of Royal Albert Old Country Roses bone china adds to the atmosphere of gentility.Free parking available

Blooms really doesn’t look all that promising from street level and it’s in a odd location but it is ABSOLUTELY worth a visit. There is a great selection on offer, portions are generous (everything but the kitchen sink on the side salad), the staff are...

Have visited blooms many time and every time the staff have been welcoming and friendly great range of deserts the place is very family friendly with colouring books for kids and tvs for the cartoons.. The only down side is the stairs on the way...

Lovey interior and great food.But it's the staff that really make it special - they simply can't do enough for you!Great choice of food weather for breakfast,lunch,or even just a quick coffee and pastries!

Pleasant coffee shop/restaurant. Staff were lovely and food all looked very nice. Was in just for morning coffee and a scone which was beautiful. Layout of the shop is quirky and lovely furnished throughout. All in all a very good place to visit.

lovely comfortable friendly place great choice of breakfasts,lunches.desserts,scones and pastries always served with a smile nothing too much trouble and very reasonably priced

A quirky interior and the coffee cake was to die for! I will be returning for another visit and recommending to others.

My mother & father in law took my children to Blooms for lunch and could not have spoke more highly of the friendliness of staff service and fantastic meals they all had. They remarked on the ample portion of high quality food for children &...

Husband and I called in to-day for a spot of lunch, we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and a good menu to choose from too. It was nice to have proper china crockery. Everything is spotlessly clean, staff are pleasant and well presented....

Raspberry scone freshly baked with beautiful jam and cream absolutely to die for. Coffee exactly how it should be not bitter or to strong. Lovely ambiance and smiling staff.

Staff were friendly and the ambience cosy. I had the curry which was lovely, portion was tiny however for the money. The other meals were just as delicious but still expensive I feel. The presentation of the food was quirky and adds to the visual...

This little gem was recommended us...thank you Gillian A lovely day gave us an enjoyable run up from Newtownards then a wonderful surprise food and staff exceptional. Four of us so two fries yummy.....a panini yummy....French toast with berries and syrup again yummy......we also had...

Very impressed with the beautiful decor. Chicken curry dish delicious. Cooked to perfection. Husband's fry, however, was disappointing. Bread just dipped, not fried. He makes excellent fries so has set himself a high standard. It would be helpful if credit cards could be used to...

Have eaten here a few times but not really sampled the menu, usually I have poached eggs and toast for brunch. Eggs always cooked perfectly, soft with runny yolk. Amazing how many places can't manage this. Side salads that come with paninis etc are a...

Visited here with 2 friends for an early lunch. Very impressed with the cosy layout although the height of the tables do not make for comfortable dining. I decided to order the stew and had to wait 15 minutes then search for a lady who...

I went into blooms today as a treat for my Birthday, It was my first time visiting blooms and I can tell you it wont be my last.. The staff surprised me with a bun with a sparkler in it and came out singing Happy...

Blooms offers a friendly, comfortable environment where there are several different areas in the top floor decorated as though you were walking into a trendy living/dining area. The entire floor is tastefully decorated in my opinion, and I love the way there are many little...

My wife and I went here last week and both where very impressed by the place it looks great and does everything. Our food was fab and was well priced I will be back again soon. You must give it a go

Tried Blooms for the first time after a recommendation they served a really good breakfast. Food served on fine china in a lovely setting with views beautiful decor. Only downside for me would be you need a high table to eat a meal. A coffee...

Beauty in the food,service,seats all round decor,high class food and the price fair. Only down side stairs two flights. Bye the way beautiful staff hey Ruth. Keep it good.

Tried this coffee shop for the first time recently. Very cosy with comfortable settees although personally I like a high table for eating a meal. Food lovely especially the cakes and buns. Lovely wheaten bread. Very relaxing - will definitely be back. Could not see...

Lovely place to eat.....decor etc. Food is very good and great for afternoon tea. Definetly recommend a visit.

I went here for breakfast and ordered a Ulster fry. The place is beautiful and a bit up market looking for fry ups but I thought the fry will be something else to match the décor! And boy was I right the egg was solid,overcooked...

Went on a Saturday for breakfast. Food fine if a little overpriced however I struggled to eat a fry at a low coffee table - not enough full sized tables but pleasant enough.

Went for lunch and had the toastie and broth combo, was lovely homemade food which is very reasonably priced!! The interior of Blooms Tea Rooms is immaculate and very homely. Friendly staff who couldn't do more to help you!

Went to newly opened Blooms for breakfast.. Was not disappointed. Spotlessly clean, Service excellent, Cook Julie is amazing, nothing is any trouble and goes out of her way to accommodate your special diet. Will certainly be back again.

Blooms is a beautiful place to relax and unwind. It has quickly become my favourite tearoom around we are in regularly and the menu is so vast. The cakes and desserts are to die for. The staff are amazing so friendly and helpful and they...

Took the family to lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Staff really friendly and the food was amazing. Our son got the Blooms Fry and, even though he was really hungry and has a big appetite, it beat him, he could not finish it....

First time in Blooms and I will definitely be back!! Food was really tasty, staff were very friendly!! Lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend. Looking forward to my next visit 😊

We had our 3rd visit today for lunch. Previously we just had coffee. The restaurant is on the 1st floor above a jewellers and flower shop. Locally owned and operated the decor is unusual in that there are individual rooms laid out like a home...

Lovely café with a unique layout of several smaller rooms rather than one big space. The food was lovely and service was great.

A wonderful place for lunch. There was a good choice of food. I enjoyed the lasagne with a side salad that included a whole egg, pickled onions, beetroot, cheese to name just some of the salad ingredients. My grandsons really lived their meals and they...

Wasn't sure what to expect when I visited Bloom Tea Rooms but I definitely wasn't disappointed. Beautiful decor throughout with formal and casual eating areas. Food was lovely as were the staff. Would highly recommend.

Tried Blooms for the first time, didn't have any hot food, just tea and a bun, have to say it was very nice, the place was so busy too, it has been decorated lovely and a nice feel to it.

An upstairs coffee shop with lots of little rooms to sit in. Very friendly staff serving delicious food. It is open until 8 or 9pm for dinner and snacks too.

Ballyclare has so many great places in the town centre for lunch, blooms is a great we spot but the lack of car parking lets it down.
