Spacious cafe with a modern stylish diner table plan layout. Chose a meal from menu or queue at the hot food counter, this latter option sadly often leads to a lukewarm offering! Nice relaxed atmosphere, family friendly, very clean toilets and ample carparking.

Lovely place, actually had a muffin that tasted stale, I informed the staff who apologised and attempted to rectify it, I honestly didn't mind I just wanted to let them know, they where great. The rest of the food and drinks where very tasty.

Variety of food plenty, but as usual it is so lukewarm!!!!! It's such a pity because their food and desserts are lovely and staff are so helpful. They need to get this right. I hate a lukewarm meal. Prices are v high too!!

The food was well presented and looked delicious. However it was cold as was the gravy that came separate with it. After having it heated the turkey was moist .the ham was scarce to say the least.overall good enough but not amazing like it used to be and somewhat more expensive. Don't know that I'd return.

Very disappointing visit. On placing order was told it was unavailable, second choice was unavailable and third choice unbelievably was also unavailable. Reluctantly ordered something else but was disappointed. It was Caesar salad, which had very little salad and what could have been 2 full chicken breasts, way too much and not enjoyable. My husbands meal was lasagne which was dry and unappealing. Both dishes where left half uneaten. We paid £31 for a very expensive disappointing Saturday afternoon. Staff were pleasant but based on this experience a return visit will be unlikely.

Great selection of cakes and buns. Coffee and hot chocolate tasted great. Slightly more expensive than normal coffee shops but was worth it. Coconut and lime cake was superb and a, large portion

My wife had the Lasagne which was dried out, lacked any flavour and no bechamel sauce. I had the chicken stack which was dry and the bacon on top could not be cut using a knife and fork. From time ordered until food received took 15 minutes and I noticed that the food was being reheated in a microwave. Very disappointing for the price charged. Also coffee only luke warm.

I just wanted to comment on how very helpful the staff were here . My aunt and I visited and she is recovering after a hospital admission . She became tired and a little short of breath when we were leaving . We got so much help with a lovely young gentleman staff member who couldn’t have done more for her . All of the staff and the lady who served us were excellent . Thank you Vic-Ryn for your exceptional customer service your staff are an absolute credit to you .

Used to visit regularly before Covid, came back today, was supposed to go somewhere else but another family member joined us and I thought she’d have more choice here, I was wrong!!! The portion sizes and menu options have shrunk by at least 50% but the prices have raised! My decaf coffee may as well have just been a cup of hot milk. Lots of seating available but everyone was escorted to a higher level where stairs are, I noticed several elderly people struggle with these stairs - including a man on a mobility walker 😵 I’m not elderly but have arthritis and I struggled with the stairs, at no point was anyone asked if they were ok or if they wanted to sit elsewhere. Overall we could’ve got a much nicer breakfast, and been full after, somewhere else, for a fraction of price - not somewhere I’d be keen to return to 😵

Called here today for something for my grandson, my wife got stack potato bread my grandson got potato and leek soup, I asked for a small fry but instead of soda and beans, can I have 2 rounds of white bread, when I got it there was soda bread and beans the young lad apologized and got me the toast, my grandson said his soup did not taste right I tasted it and it was discussing so I ended up giving my grandson my toast by this time the rest of the fry and coffee was cold. This cost £34.00 and was definitely not worth the money, I would never recommend this place to anyone there didn't seem to be anyone about that I could have complained to.

This message is to all of the very clever, friendly and talented cafe vic-ryn team. We’ve had family staying over and the first gathering I purchased your super sized pink pavlova, the second gathering I purchased your large chocolate cake. Firstly thank you for helping me out at such short notice on both occasions. Your on-line ordering and collection worked a treat. Secondly this saved me so much work, not having to chase round for ingredients then having to spend ages in the kitchen and let’s face it, I couldn’t make anything to match your high standards. Lastly, both items were totally delicious and well received. When picking up the chocolate cake we called in for scone/coffee and staff were so friendly with one gentleman going out of his way to go upstairs to lift our cake & keep it behind the counter until we were ready leave. Thank you so very much for helping me out with the best ever desserts and allowing me to spend more time with family.

Called in for the first time in quite a while for breakfast with my two young sons. I remembered why when I got the bill, £46!! Ridiculously over priced for average food, even had to send the scrambled eggs back for being undercooked. The only good point was the very friendly lady who greeted us and took us to our table. 80% of the clientele were OAP’s, I can see why.

The dessert was amazing if I returned it would definitely only be for dessert. I give a 3 star review as the dessert was so nice.

Attended a lunch gathering today here, and i must say Staff are a welcoming attentive bunch, well done! When assigned a table, you can take the menu and join the quewe to order, the menu is adaptable enough as I ordered the Goujon Chicken panini with a garnish of salad and slaw, my partner tried the chick n ham pie, with Chips and slaw, now, upon seeing the served dish, i had realised both these had amounted to £24. Then refreshments are 2.50 for bottomless tea, and the iced tap water is free. For what you get compared to monies paid, isn't great value. I think The over priced coffee shop, on the back of an overpriced furniture store is aimed at the elderly, whom have settled into the lifestyle, and have the expenditure to spare.

Got several scones and coffee from the pop up in Moira. Feedback was the scones were really poor, bit like lumps of pizza dough with chocolate stuck in them. Half them went in the bin. Expected more for £2.50 a scone tbh. Coffee was better but very over priced at £2.95 for small plain coffees. Rather a disappointing experience for us all I must confess.

My wife and I arrived at around 2:15 pm for a late lunch. The one way in and one way out system was well marked out and worked well.But from that point on the precautions re the Coronavirus were poor. None of the staff wore masks or visors - and there didn't seem to be any "partition screens" between customers and staff - at the servery.Only a small proportion of customers wore masks - and there were no signs asking them to do so (as with the Ashvale Cafe)!There were about eight or more staff "moving about" - yet there was only one serving customers at the servery - and she spent a long time chatting and laughing with one customer. Eventually, after ten minutes or more, another assistant arrived and took our order. (One male "waiter" spent around ten minutes talking to two young ladies at a table near ours).Unfortunately, there was only a limited choice - for late lunch. As we were sitting down around 2:30 pm - staff had started clearing the dessert cabinet - so we had no opportunity to order from same.My mince pie was the last slice left, was small, and 50% of it was flakey pastry; however, the mince was nice.For "self-service", the cost was around 40% more than we would have paid at Hedleys in the town centre - and the service would have been much better.The rice in my wife's Chicken Curry was quite "chewy" - and not "fluffy/soft" - and there was little Chicken.My previous experiences were much better.We will probably not return anytime soon!

Arrived with elderly parents for their first trip out post lockdown. Disappointed there was no booking system, we had to wait in a queue and staff did not wear masks or face shields. However, once you are shown to your table they have a great system in place for ordering and paying for food. Food is super and we all enjoyed it tremendously. We could see that many tables and chairs had been removed to create space between customers but we still felt a little too close to the table beside us. Another 12 inches apart would have helped. All in all a fairly good experience, with helpful staff and lovely food. Just a few adjustments would help make it perfect.

Awesome! Ill touch on the vegan reviews at the end. With things settling after covid...I was expecting maybe a lull....but no, a que out the door showing this place is good! A packed restaurant is always a good sign! Alot to choose from...big hearty portions amd very good price wise! The best was the dessert options...huge fan, again big portions! Food cooked beautifully and prompt service with it being so busy...Will definitely be back for lunch! As for Vegan options....people need to understand....places do not have to cater....vegan is a personal choice and also a new trend, its not a medical requirement, these are facts. Ask politely can the chef muster up something...but do not be rude and demand like the entitled people in the cue before me!

I booked Saturday morning breakfast for a group of 25 people. Staff were extremely helpful and we had full choice from the menu for our group. (This is often not the case for group bookings at other establishments!) In addition, when we placed our order 5-7 days in advance there was an outstanding willingness to accommodate individual preferences and all such requests were accepted. On the day food and service was flawless and everyone enjoyed the time chatting over breakfast and coffee. We were not rushed on, instead we were offered free filter coffee top-ups like every other customer. Simply excellent!
