Cafe Marmalade in Banbridge

Good location, nice ambience, decent staff that wants to be helpful, but lacking in knowledge about food. Obviously they use decent ingredients, but lack of skills or poor execution lets them down. I didn't ask for ice in my drink, I got ice. I didn't ask for sugar in my coffee, it was sweet. The menu said "poached egg", but egg was definitely not poached and hollandaise did not have a texture or taste of the hollandaise sauce. To top it off it came to nearly £25 for a brunch, one dish and two drinks, if the quality was good I wouldn't even mention price. However when you pay that sort of money for something that you didn't entirely enjoy, it feels like a rip off. Plenty of awards on walls, but when I asked a simple question about one of ingredients, they couldn't even tell me where it comes from, makes you wonder if they have any awareness if the products they are using.

Staff are so helpful, food is excellent.

Can't complain. Just need the place to be bigger.

gorgeous food (I had the pulled ham on French toast), lovely friendly atmosphere, prompt service, lots of tea!

Love Cafe Marmalade, food is beautiful, and the carrot cake for afters is unreal

Very busy and popular. Got seated fairly quickly. Food was delish! Although my Ceaser salad was a bit small. Great friendly service. Ambience was lovely.

No surprise this place has won multiple Taste of Ulster awards. Went for breakfast and man alive the quality and taste was superb. The service and attention to detail first class.

Dropped in on route to Game of thrones studio tour and found a great little café. Proper Irish breakfast sorted us for the day.

Always lovely service, great breakfast/brunch spot. staff always go above and beyond

Great cafe with great food and service

Always a pleasure to visit here😁

Ate in cafe marmalade a few weeks ago. The burger was absolutely excellent as were the tacos. One of the best spots for a bite to eat in Banbridge. Would highly recommend. Staff friendly also

Busy but seated quickly...Food excellent..and service exceptional..my 2nd visit looking fwd to 3rd visit...

Excellent spot for breakfast or lunch on Banbridge. Seems very popular, which is always a good sign. Importantly the coffee is excellent too!

Fantastic service & amazing food. Such a beautiful, fresh, & clean cafe with a buzzing atmosphere. 😍

Good for everyone, I just have a note about the smell of food being very prevalent in the seating areas.

What a fantastic little cafe. There was a great atmosphere and the staff were really friendly. Absolutely loved the food. The next time I'm in Banbridge I'll be back.

Enjoyed the food. Staff were friendly and attentive. Service was 100%.

My experience with Marmalade is every dish will makes you say wow - A taste you’ll remember 🤤 What you are waiting for it's Time to wake up your Taste Buds. Cafe is excellent for their Outstanding Service - always ready to serve, So I would say " You can’t eat here just once "

Great cafe on Bridge St, offering home made or locally sourced hot & cold food and drinks. The cooked breakfast is sublime. Reasonably priced. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Delicious food, quality coffee and hot chocolate, brilliant staff and savoury food too - my niece told me to tell you all that it is her favourite coffee shop in Banbridge and that they have the best scones in town!

The 'Full marmalade' is their full sized cooked breakfast. I have had it on many occasions, and it is always cooked using the tastiest, and freshest ingredients. Not fatty or stodgy like some about. Give it a try.... BTW the coffee is first class too.

Stopped in for take away and was greeted with such a sweet staff, so welcoming. Prompt service and delicious breakfast baps!

Food is awesome and consistent everytime. Much nicer than blend and batch. Staff are very friendly and welcoming (even when we are a tad late for breakfast😁) my son and I eat here every Saturday. Highly recommended 10/10

Warning! Do not pass this coffee shop! I love a good coffee shop. Somewhere that does good food, has good coffee and has a friendly buzz. Café Marmalade has all that in spades. Its a popular place too. I didnt have to queue but one did develop after I was seated. I had the pancake stack- light, sweet, fluffy pancakes, dusted with icing sugar with flavour- filled bacon and a little jar of maple syrup. Stunning. The coffee was first rate and their warmed rhubarb pie was excellent. Next time you're shopping in Banbridge/ the Outlet or on your way passed on the A1 you need to stop here.

Lovely café excellent menu 6very reasonably priced. Also very popular

This was our first time at Cafe Marmalade and we loved it.

Cafe Maramalade has a great atmosphere, there's even an outdoor area to the front where you can bring your four legged friend for a coffee. The breakfast and lunches are the best in Banbridge. First class.

If you're in Banbridge doing a bit of shopping please call into Cafe Marmalade for a wee treat. The owner is such a charming gentleman and makes a fuss of you. Food great too.

It’s ok , nothing to talk about nothing special Went twice to make sure, other places in Banbridge are better .

Friendly staff service and food excellent will be back 😋

Great place to eat Staff so helpful & friendly food & coffee first class 🥰

We had a delicious breakfast here, top quality ingredients.

An excellent location for lunch. The gentleman serving us was very friendly and so patient and helpful when my youngest was choosing her food and drink. The curry I had was excellent and the rest of our party agreed theirs was first class too. We will be back. Thank you.

Only recently discovered this wee jewel, nothing too much trouble for the staff, so friendly. Food was fabulous. Definitely worth a visit when in Banbridge.

Came across this place by chance, food was gorgeous, staff friendly, will definitely be back 😋

Superb service and food. Yet another great place to eat in Banbridge. Will certainly return when next in Banbridge.

Lovely cafe with great coffee and nice treats. Well worth a visit. Try the German biscuits, you won't be disappointed!

Always enjoy the food. Fresh & tasty. Large range of coffee & teas.

We just visited Cafe Marmalade today and as usual it was a delightful experience. Staff are so friendly and nothing is a bother. Marmalade well worth a visit. Beware you might have a short wait as it is so popular.

Went in for lunch, had to wait awhile because it was busy but definitely worth the wait, I had green Thai curry my partner had fish & chips, food was lush & the customer service was great, polite friendly with big smiles 😁 Really lovely lunch Thank you 😊

20 minutes queue for a table, 10 minutes wait on food BUT it was worth every minute. The photos dont do it justice, every meal leaving the kitchen was like a work of art. Staff were exceptional and couldnt have done anything more for us 👏 bring Cafe Marmalade to Belfast!

The scones here are incredible. Great coffee too. Highly recommended 👌 👍.

We had to queue for 10 minutes. But was worth it. Friendly, courteous staff, great bistro menu. Coffee and food were excellent. My party of 4 loved everything they ordered. From French toast, to prawns with asparagus, to smashed avo on toast and Chicken Caesar. Highly recommended.

Wonderful and popular cafe. Food was brilliant. Coped well with my friend's allergies. Cheery service. Dog friendly (sat outside). Come early if you want a table.

Great food, friendly service. Start your weekend with a smashing scone or an excellent Eggs Benedict!

Four of us had breakfast here, everyone loved it. Really nice at a reasonable price. Will be back 🥞🍳

We stopped here en route from Dublin to Belfast. It was a wonderful experience . The food was beautiful, locally sourced and the most delicious we've ever eaten. The staff are lovely. We'll be back, it's worth the hour's drive the food is so good!

Becoming a regular for us for its fresh scones/cream and great coffee. Can be busy with local people but that says it better than words on how good it is. Some seating outside with overhead protection which is good for dog friendly visits and when the sun shines in during the morning.

Fantastic food and very clean throughout 👌

Very nice food. Interesting selection. Definitely worth a visit.

OK don't go to this lovely cafe without trying the raspberry scones. It will change your expectations forever. Well done 👏👏👏

1st time trying here for food and hopefully it will not be the last. Staff are lovely and food was yummy.

Passing through on our way to Dublin and stopped in at this cafe; a wonderful experience. The homemade pasta and quiche were diglightful and the iced teas were so refreshing and a friendly staff to boot. Highly recommend for lunch.

Brought my 86 year old mother to Cafe Marma...for the first time . Lovely decor, staff fantastic, coffee and scones tasty and reasonably priced, I will come back.

Wayne and his team were, as always, very welcoming and professional. The food; well, it hits the spot everytime.

Excellent just been for breakfast staff very friendly place spotless and a cracking breakfast first time there won't be the last

The Cashel blue cheese burger is one of the best burgers I have had in years. Excellent! Also friendly and efficient service.

Clean ,Good food, friendly service .

Great coffee - Better pastries And the staff ……. Just amazing…….I’ve never come across staff as attentive and helpful, a true credit to themselves and Banbridge

We had lunch here. The menu was excellent and varied from light bites to full meals. There were gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. We had the soup of the day which was delicious. Halloumi fries would have benefited from additional salad and perhaps less halloumi. The service was excellent and very friendly. It’s a busy spot so avoid peak times or be prepared to wait. Excellent value for money.

After trying to find somewhere to go for lunch with my boyfriend we came across cafe marmalade. While the service was lovely, the food was not! My boyfriends burger was freezing, messy and not able to hold the burger shape he had to use a knife and fork with my tacos being laid flat on the plate all the juice made it incredibly soggy and not nice once again not being able to hold a taco shape when I went to hold it .

Make my coffee exactly to my taste and I love it

Very friendly and attentive staff. Chef and baker's work always delicious, clearly use fresh, quality ingredients and enjoy sharing their talent.

Coffee and a tray bake. Good service and delicious

I have been with my dad, he loves Cafe Marmalade. Food was delicious. My daughter and I went for breakfast,it was delicious. Pancakes were unreal. Definitely recommend.

Delightful can recommend the haddock.

My wife and I dropped in for a cup of coffee and I am glad to say the coffee was absolutely to our liking, will be back

Friendly staff, delicious lunch. Great service. Comfortable table area. Did not have to wait long at the door for a table.

Had a yummy breakfast here, highly recommend. The porridge had tasty topping options - rhubarb and ginger for example which is what I chose. Great presentation of the food served on lovely crockery, comfortable atmosphere inside, friendly staff.

Great atmosphere with yummy fresh food and sweet treats!

One word. Excellent. What a lovely place with lovely staff. First class service, where even the dog was served a bowl of water. The Thai Red Chicken Curry was very good. I would have liked it to have been more spicy but it's responding to the Western palate. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and the food is the last word well worth the visit

Friendly staff, good coffee, nice treats

It's my first time in Cafe Marmalade, it's cosy and bright, very busy and the staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great!

Beautiful breakfast, three in party and all loved their choices. Prices reasonable, staff lovely to deal with, lovely premises, will be back

Smoothie served in a small poor quality paper cup with a very thin straw placed in the slit of a coffee cup lid. Not suitable. Strange and terrible presentation. Poor.

Breakfast menu is amazing , have had a few different types traditional , French toast . Coffee is made beautiful , service is fast and nothing is too much for the staff . Well laid out for covid lovely spot

Beautiful cafe on the hill in Banbridge. Have used this cafe on a number of occasions and never been disappointed. Lovely for a breakfast or 11's not forgetting a nice menu for lunchtime. Staff very friendly and cafe clean as a pin. Definitely 5 stars.

Fabulous vegan offering! Delicious, flavourful food!

Food tasty, reduced menu due to take away only, looking forward to trying them when everything opens up again.

Lovely croissant and sausage roll. Really friendly service, Wayne and his staff couldn't do enough! Cafe is immaculate with excellent layout for social distancing. Lovely selection of street food and baked goods. Great for takeaway and I look forward to sitting in when restrictions allow. Fantastic cafe.

Take away food option is amazing 👏

Called in for a takeaway lunch on the spur of the moment. Very welcoming atmosphere and the cafe very well set out for takeaway with one way system etc. Good selection on the menu and the food my wife and I got was really delicious. Looking forward to our next visit.

Have recently started to visit cafe marmalade & I love it! Always welcomed with a smile and friendly chat. Tray bakes and food always outstanding, my favourite being the sausage rolls!! Would highly recommend Cafe marmalade 😊

Gorgeous coffee, nicest French toast ever and lovely staff.

Always welcoming staff. Lovely freshly baked scones.

Friendly staff and excellent food. Pancake stack could do with an extra bacon rasher but that's personal opinion. Would recommend.

Lovely furnishings friendly staff and first class food
