Great sandwiches- firecracker chicken is 10/10 and chilli chicken also great. For coffee, iced latte is a standout, chai is also delish and sweet.

So expensive!! £7.85 for poached eggs on avocado on sour dough bread. They made a mistake with my order, the waitress took it back out to the chef who got the order note out of the bin to check it. Made me the right dish. Wouldn’t of minded so much if I didn’t wait 25 mins for the first order or if they’d even apologised for the delay and their mistake.

This is a coffee shop that you don't need to go too if you are looking for a very good variety menu. They don't do sandwiches and when I asked for a wheaten scone with jam and cream they didn't have any cream. They said they'd run out of cream and this was at lunchtime!!!! I'm not sure if they have a children's menu but if they don't it's definitely not a place to bring kids. It would be great to see food on their menu like other coffee shops and restaurants. PLEASE DON'T USE AS MUCH BUTTER AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TOO IF YOU COULD GET A FRY. I understand your trying to do Healthy options BUT YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR CUSTOMERS FIRST AND THINK ABOUT THEM. Staff are ok but service was very slow.

We were sitting on the ferry coming into Belfast, looking for a late lunch stop on the way north out of Belfast. We saw other reviews talking of good coffee, then we saw the food pictures... We weren't disappointed! Delicious paninis, wonderful coffee, fab Bakewell slice. Speedy service. There was a steady stream of folk coming in the whole time we were there. Clearly doing something right! Recommended!

Very nice cafe, light and open decor with relaxing background music. I had the avocado, poached eggs on sourdough and an americano. This came as 2 large slices of toasted sourdough, topped with lots of crushed avocado, 2 poached eggs sprinkled with some chilli flakes (no chilli heat) and cherry tomatoes on the side. It was very tasty breakfast. The americano was excellent, whatever coffee bean is the choice in here it provides a great tasting coffee. Cafe also has a side hatch for takeaway and can do telephone orders it appears.

£ 3.00 for a small coffee . Costa charge £2.45 for a much better latte. Service was fine but getting served through a hatch and paying 3 quid I won t be returning. I have no doubt the answer will somehow be due to covid excuse

I always think the menu here is a bit limited, but it is a small place and I guess you are better doing less and doing it well that having lots of options. I particularly like the sausage roll and the coffee is always good. They don't open on Saturday, which is a little strange for a coffee shop, but I guess there is a reason for that.

Passing through Ballyclare today and stopped for a quick cuppa. My husband had cake and coffee. The cake was delicious and the coffee robust and flavourful. I opted for a scone which came with butter, jam and cream... scrumptious. I only drink decaf coffee. Browns have a special decaf blend which I think is filtered without chemicals being used in the process. Without a doubt a really fragarant balanced coffee, again excellent. The staff are friendly and very attentive and the icing on the cake, we could bring our dog along with us! Cool day but unlike many dog friendly cafes, good shelter, decent seats and blankets provided. Jasper also enjoyed the treats he was brought by the staff! Definitely worth a visit and looking forward to our next time.

While staying with my Uncle in Ballyclare we decided to go out for a bite to eat. We were a bit late for most of the town, but found Brown's Coffee Co. If you're in Ballyclare, GO THERE! The hosts were so kind and welcoming, the food was fantastic, and they even had a whole area for local wools! If you're into fibre art like myself, it's worth it even for that! But really, our sandwiches and soups were so good, and my daughter had a milkshake to die for!!
