My wife and myself visited the Blue Bay Cafe in Dundrum Co Down on Saturday morning last. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent, very tasty and well presented. Absolutely no complaints. Well worth the visit, just a pity we don't live closer. Anyone visiting the Mournes area should call and try out the food. 10 out of 10.

As a vegan me and my mum were not expecting to find such a comprehensive vegan and gluten free menu in this small town. + they even made us custom fresh vegan scones to order—delicious. Customer service was also 11/10—a friendly atmosphere with a personal touch. Will definitely come back again next time we’re in town!

Absolutely adore this cafe and don’t get there nearly enough ( living in Manchester) when we get back to Belfast to visit. Best food ever -delicious homemade and creative combinations. The owners and staff are wonderful, there’s always a warm welcome and even on a wet Saturday with a dog in tow ( so takeaway only) we had beautiful takeaway coffee and tea with a carrot cake scone and a rhubarb one too for good measure. Definitely having those again 🥰Well worth stopping off for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and right beside Murlough Bay Nature reserve who can ask for anything more. Thanks Blue Bay Cafe team you are amazing !

It was all freshly cooked and delicious. The tea and coffee was refilled on request. I didn't ask their names, now I wish I had. There was a lady in the back baking scones and Wheaten bread, so we had to have those as well. They were still warm!!!! The staff bent over backwards to help us and give us lots of local knowledge. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for a lovely experience, from the Campervan couple!!!

We had another place in mind but their kitchen was closed. We found Blue Bay and everything sounded tasty. Being from the states, I was fond of the potatoes. So I went with the potatoes with mushrooms and beans. Very tasty. My wife had a ham and cheese with chutney. We finished off with a chocolate chip brownie. It was very rich and melted in our mouths. I'm salivating as I write this last part. If you're in the area, go here. And then Main Street for drinks.

Myself and 9 friends from the Phoenix Cycling Club in Belfast dropped into the Blue Bay for a very welcome coffee and breakfast yesterday morning after a tough headwind on the way out. We called ahead from 4 miles out and placed an order of 9 scrambled eggs and one small breakfast. When we arrived the tabled were set up, the staff were waiting to welcome us and the coffee was ready. The breakfasts were first class. The scrambled eggs were really tasty and the small fry went down a treat. We have the Blue Bay number on speed dial now and we'll be using it regularly. Would definitely recommend calling in if you're in the area.

Blue Bay Cafe is our first choice for breakfast, brunch, scones or sandwiches to take away and enjoy as a picnic in the beautiful Mourne landscape. Today we had the Sunday Brunch special- a mouthwateringly delicious combination of soft croissant, 2 slices of bacon, tomato chutney and cheesy scrambled egg, ( I added a sausage because I'm a gorb!) . This was easily THE best breakfast I've ever had!! Everything is locally sourced and scones etc are home baked by the owners. A gem of a cafe.

Called in here today before a walk on Murlough. Fancied a nice cup of coffee and a sweet delight. Nothing available apart from one plain scone. Very disappointing as we were so looking forward to a nice afternoon treat. The toilet wasn’t clean and you have to get to it via the kitchen which I’m sure doesn’t conform to health & safety standards. Overall a disappointing experience. Have been here previously for breakfast and whilst it was very good was served on cold plates and therefore not warm. Don’t think we’ll be visiting again.

We were touring County Down with family members from South Africa, who were making their first visit to Ireland, when we came upon the Blue Bay Café and Bakery. We had driven from Belfast earlier that morning and stopped in Dundrum on route to Newcastle and were lucky enough to find this delightful little café. There were five of us and when we ordered coffee and scones, we had no idea what treats lay ahead!! We ordered a variety of scones and when they arrived they were huge, fresh as can be, and just gorgeous! The coffee was top class also - as was the service. Our South African visitors declared those scones the very best they had EVER tasted and of course we totally agreed with them! We vowed never to go through Dundrum again without calling into the Blue Bay Café. Thank you staff and bakers for such a treat!

We visited this cafe, twice, in April. The first time, was when we were taking friends around the lovely coastline and mountain range, on their holidays. It was the only restaurant that came up on our app as having vegan options in the area. We weren't expecting very much at all so were delighted to find they even had vegan menus! The cafe is quite small, holding about 20 people, but you don't feel on top of each other. The food is freshly prepared, varied and they've won awards for their baking!

Would be great if the vegan menu was out on the table rather than having to request it, I think many more people would order from it if they could see it, vegan or not, as there are really good options. It was really refreshing to have really imaginative vegan food, so thank you! We will see you soon. The hot chocolate in particular was great!

The sausages are the yummiest, the scones are to die for and the brownies are too good to resist.

It's hard to believe its been 2 years since my first (5*) review of the Blue Bay Cafe however we visited again yesterday and this charming small gem deserves all the praise it gets. After a bracing walk along lovely Murlough Bay, we called in and were fortunate to have the last available table on a busy Sunday lunchtime. The "all day breakfast" fry is a real treat - best quality ingredients, cooked to perfection (not a speck of grease in sight), accompanied by an excellent Americano (with top-up !) and all with friendly, efficient and courteous service. Small ?- maybe ! Unpretentious ? - definitely ! Perfectly formed ? - absolutely !! Can't recommend highly enough !

We have visited this lovely local cafe a few times over the past six months on hols back to NI. The scones are unforgettable - rhubarb ones great, but the raspberry and lemon ones are spectacular! We were climbing Slieve Donard on our last visit and stopped off here to get some to eat when we got to the top. It was like my carrot and stick to get up that mountain. The scones were literally out of the oven and iced as we waited and amazingly stayed totally in tact all the way up Slieve Donard. They were even better for having had a good hard walk. I'll be back for more every time we're back in NI. The lady who owns it is lovely and very helpful - time before we couldn't wait to eat our scones in the cafe so she packed us off with a takeaway box complete with knives and butter :) Thank you.

Over two years ago my partner and I popped in for a coffee and sweet treat - which was presented in a warm and welcoming way. The snack was undeniably delicious. The easy chat with the owner opened up, what we can only describe as a golden opportunity, for us to stay in Dundrum on a regular basis. We owe a lot to Bobby and his family for local knowledge and a helpfulness that goes way beyond most cafes. Of course now we are regular visitors to the Blue Bay Cafe and the food gets better and better. We also have brought our respective families when they visit and it has become a special place to us. Well done in the recent award for Best Cafe in Co. Down 2017 - so very well deserved.

My wife and I ate lunch 11 times in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Most were very good, but the best by far was the Blue Bay Cafe. She had a tuna sandwich and I had a ham and cheese. They were superb! Add to that great service and a gracious owner and you've had a fine time.

Very clean and friendly cafe. Easy parking nearby and the menu was quite good for such a small establishment.We only wanted tea/coffee, toast/scone but it was all very nice indeed. Teapot so 2 teas, possibly 3 were there and the scone in particular was delicious. Nice touch when the lady came around and poured a second cup of coffee free of charge - when did you last get that in a Costa or a Starbuck's?Will certainly return when in the area and recommend most highly.

We finally stopped in here for breakfast, and my only complaint is that it took us so long to try it. I had the granola pot and a flat white, the berries were delicious and fresh, yoghurt was creamy but the show stealer was the homemade granola! It had a hint of cinnamon and was just great. My partner had the brioche and he was very impressed. We had two traybakes and two scones to take away, and everything was excellent. Already looking at their instagram to decide what we will try next time. Also to top it off - service was great too! Really enjoyed everything, thank you!

My first time visiting here. Had a lovely breakfast at a good price. The food was delicious! Glad to see they have redecorated the interiors, although still felt a little canteeny. Really nice little place, I’d visit again!
