Culture Coffee in Coleraine

Prices are extortionate, and the food is your local food outlet. Waited 40 minutes for a bit of sourdough with avocado. So disappointing. Coffee is nice if you are wanting to get a quick coffee to go.

We were visiting north coast for a family occasion with members having flown in from different locations and we were all so looking forward to our Ulster Fry or 'Culture Fry' as they call it on their menu. We were so disappointed - our plates were cold and the food only lukewarm. In particular the soda was tasteless and really bland and stodgy. Sourdough toast wasn't great either and no marmalade on offer at all. On a plus point the flat white coffee and French toast were good but I'd definitely try somewhere else on the main street if you are looking for your fry up !

So...went twice this week. Busy spot a good sign but always got a seat. Food excellent especially pancakes or French toast combinations. Son had the Oreo Milkshake...very satisfying. Coffees is also very good if u like proper coffee. It couldn't do bad coffee and get away with it in Portstewart with so many rivals nearby. Buns/traybake selection is tantalising. Only bit I'm getting to grips with is whether just to jump the que and have 1 party sit at a table...from observations this is what most people do...especially that mid 20s plus age group...u know who I mean. So we followed suit. No point being polite and standing...lol.

This is our go to now in Portstewart and we are yet to be disappointed. We have had breakfast 10/10, lunch 10/10 and coffee with a tray bake 10/10. It’s a busy coffee shop but we’ve always managed to get a seat. Upon ordering you will be told how long the wait is which will help you decide about teas and coffees. Excellent value, fresh food, staff are lovely and they work hard on the floor to keep it clean.

Was our go to spot for coffee and lunch while we were in Portstewart. Service was fantastic and coffee, cake and lunch was top notch. 👍

This place has the best quality coffee I have ever tried in my life. The staff were extremely helpful and was even recommended a new drink that I have stuck to now for some time. A must try for all visiting.

Myself, my husband and 1 1/2 year old went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The cafe was 1/3 full. Hot drinks arrived 5 mins after ordering, great. The cafe then started to get busier. We waited and waited for our food.. 40/45 mins after ordering, our food arrived. By this time, our 1 1/2 year old was completely fed up waiting. I ordered french toast with bacon, scrambled egg and sausage and my husband eggs Benedict with chorizo and avocado. My french toast, egg and bacon were basically cold, the only hot item on the plate was the sausages. Our hot drinks were absolutely freezing by the time our food arrived. This place has the potential to be good, as the decor is lovely and the portions are decent. However, we won't be back anytime soon due to long waiting times with a young child.

You really get your moneys worth here . Fresh ingredients and big portions . They really don't skimp out . As well as friendly staff and great decor it's a must visit

waited nearly 40 mins on food to arrive , it was busy we were in a good mood ! asked about our food assured that it would be out in a few minutes - well we've waited this long! . We asked for our Tea ( Which we got on paying for our order so maybe 30mins or more ago ) and the filled soda to be reheated, as my vegetarian fried still hadn't arrived .... shouldn't have bothered! Then " VEGGIE FRY" appeared but half of it was missing , I wrongly assumed that it was not my order was assured that it was my order, so quick check of items listed on the menu, these were not on my plate. By this stage my husband was less than happy and asked for a refund and we took our business elsewhere . the young waiter gave his apologies ( I told him it was'nt his fault) the baristas avoided eye contact at all costs. we have never asked for a refund or written a review before .had they fest up to not having the ingredients and gave me eggs and toast and some warm tea we would have left happier

Called in to Culture Coffee with my mum & aunt. Right from the get go Jennie came over with menus & was really hospitable especially with my mum & aunt who are getting on in years. We had tea & scones with enough cream, jam & butter to feed half the Spanish Armada if they had managed to land. The food was delicious (ridiculously cheap compared to most coffee shops) & have to say the staff are really awesome. Jennie is not only a fantastic waitress but a beautiful soul. She chatted away to my mum & aunt in such a caring & friendly manner it really made their day.

Excellent coffee and tray bakes are a decent size for the price. Always warm inside at the back, can be a bit drafty at the door. The young gentleman Barista is fantastic at his job. Highly recommend this cafe, have eaten here too and meals are great although just a bit slow at busy times.

Great coffee shop/restaurant. Was there when it was exceptionally busy on New Years Day. Staff very friendly, especially Nicola and the food was excellent. Highly recommend it.

This is a really nice cafe, the menu looks very good. I only had a pastry and a coffee, both were lovely and there was a terrific choice of pastries. The decor is simple, elegant and welcoming. The staff are exceptionally professional and well mannered. I will definitely return here when I am in Portstewart.

I ordered the festive sandwich with gravy but without mayonnaise which sounded good, but was sorely disappointed. The sourdough was toasted so hard that it was almost impossible to cut. The filling was lukewarm and I also bit into a piece of cold meat which I couldn't decide whether it was fat or uncooked turkey. The gravy was also lukewarm. I tried to get the attention of the servers by eyecontact to express my disappointment but they never looked my way so I drank my tea and left a sizeable portion of my food. Certainly won't be recommended this item on the menu although I have eaten here in the past and been satisfied with my choices.

Such a great wee coffee shop that we found out serve great food too. I can recommend the eggs Benedict and my wife enjoyed the breakfast brioche bap. I love a flat white but don’t like it in the traditional glass but the staff were happy to serve it to me in the cup. Friendly and hardworking staff in such a busy location. They layout of the shop mean people entering and queuing up are standing by you table so try get down the back and you’ll be able to dine in peace. I’ll definitely be back

We’ve been to this cafe many times and it’s alway great value and very friendly staff. The staff alway seem to be under pressure due to the popularity.

Popped into culture coffee for brunch after calling in on a previous visit for a takeaway coffee and seeing the great food on diners plates. My plan was to have the avocado and sourdough but unfortunately they had ran out of avocados. Plan b… we ordered two small fry a and swapped out the hash browns and black pudding for an extra egg and mushrooms. This was done easily and the guy taking our order was very pleasant about this. We also ordered a tea with oat milk and a latte both of which were great. The food arrived in fair time, was warm and the eggs were still slightly runny. If I was to be picky I would have preferred them a little more runny and the soda bread to have been toasted/fried a bit longer. All in all I would return. The food was good for what it was and it was nice not to have to cook myself. There is just one toilet which was clean, what more do you need. The cafe is long and narrow but full of charisma. They also have a great selection of tray bakes, cakes and sweet treats that will definitely have you drooling, the challenge will be choosing just one. I can’t comment on these as I have yet to try them.

Wow this is a fabulous place to eat we have been here quite a few times and we have never been disappointed. The staff are young but hats off to who ever trains them as they are all excellent workers, efficient, hard working and pleasent. The food is outstanding with a great choice on the menu. I love this place it would put to shame one of the more established and famous cafes up the street. Culture coffee you show them how to properly provide a service. I would give you 10 stars if it was possible.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Wide selection of hot and cold drinks. Wide choice of tasty cakes, buns and tray bakes. Always a bonus when you get a hot drink free with their reward card

Called in here yesterday for lunch with my sister Food was absolutely amazing,super friendly staff and reasonable prices …could not fault that . My only small gripe is that I had lemon meringue but there was very little lemon in it ….saying that it was ok but it only had an extremely fine layer of lemon 🍋……. Whereas my sister had a caramel square and it was the opposite …. The biggest one I have ever seen in any coffee shop ….she said it was awesome I definitely would go back this wouldn’t put me off ….I just would pick something else 😃

Had lunch here recently and whilst it tasted good and everyone enjoyed their meal, it took ages. We were only in for lunch and was expecting a quick enough service. However it took 40 minutes to get a salad and a wrap. If it wasn’t for the slow service I would have really enjoyed the food.

Nice place, great food, nice staff, but the number of people blaring their personal mobiles phones was unbearable, adults, kids, even a toddler blaring a screechy cartoon - cafes and restaurants really need to address this, it is antisocial and ruins other's experience. Hard to find a quiet coffee to sit and read a book anymore. Need antisocial signs up here just like they have on some trains now.

Not enough staff, really really slow service...not their fault!!! Door always open, cool air for those sitting near it.

We were looking for a nice place for a breakfast on a miserable Monday morning in Portstewart and we came across Culture Cafe. It was 9am and we’re the first in and ordered a toasted beagle and a filled soda and they were both lovely....

If you are looking for a coffee, tray bake and getca seat at the more ambient and spacious area at the back you will like this place. If like me you check a menu out before you go and the dish you want - the...

This a favourite spot for us when are visiting portstewart. Sunday mornings are quite busy so it’s better going earlier. Nice atmosphere filled with a lot of cyclists & walkers. My daughter loved her Nutella pancakes. My husband had a good fry and I ordered...

Been to Coffee Culture several times now and the service juts isn’t improving. A very slow wait at the till where we had to repeat the order several times to get it correct and then a ridiculous wait for a sandwich. It was so long...

Spent a Saturday lunch time here and it did not disappoint. The staff were lovely and the food delicious. A great menu reasonable prices and large portions. Would highly recommend a visit will definitely return.

We stayed down the port at the weekend so decided to go for breakfast. I got the sourdough stack fry & my husband got the large fry. Food lovely just service was slow as it was very busy.

Lovely coffee shop / restaurant. Excellent decaf cappuccino. Best Cherry scone ever. Only downside was the overly loud pop music playing overhead. I could hardly hear my wife speaking which some might consider a blessing. Would come much more often, but just can’t stand someone...

For a couple of years we have been regulars in this coffee shop, they always had great coffee and some great home made treats, over the summer the prices have gone up considerably, portions have literally halved, last lot of coffees Luke warm, final straw...

I can recommend their scones, lovely texture and freshly baked lunch menu looked good too, will try it out next time. They stop serving Hot Food at 4pm which tbh is a pity !! they have toilet facilities too and it's right beside the Triangle...

Visited the Coleraine shop with my husband. I was plesently surprised with the service, food and great coffee we received. Would highly recommend as it is the best coffee I have had in a long time. Will definately be back!

Went for a coffee and cake on Friday evening. Hadn't planned to eat here but seemed to be very little open on Friday evening in portstewart. It was great to relax and not feel pressured to leave as it was open late and no one...

When paying today for tea, coffee and scones I noticed that the cafe had locality cards on display. I explained that I had not seen these when I was in recently and would it be possible to have the two stamps that I had missed...

I had the most amazing banana porridge and the staff is really nice. There were some beautiful cakes on display, I wish I wasn't on a diet! :)

Ate here twice on our weekend away once for breakfast once for lunch. Excellent menu. Excellent service. Lovely food and good value! Will definitely be back!

Me and a buddy travelled up to the north coast for a couple rounds of golf. We stopped by this establishment for some refreshments during our trip. The customer service was top notch and the variation of hot food and tray bakes were a delight.

Waited 35 minutes for sourdough with avocado, poached egg and bacon. Whilst waiting we sat next to a table with dirty dishes whilst multiple members f staff walked past. When our food came the avocado was black, the bacon and egg freezing and egg was...

Really nice cafe and very helpful, will definitely plan on visting again the next time I am in the area

Stopped here for lunch. Toasted sandwiches were fresh and full of flavour and the tray bakes are delicious. Service was quick and staff are very pleasant will definitely return

Lovely coffee shop with very helpful friendly staff. We had a light lunch which absolutely delicious. This was our first visit and it won’t be our last

Excellent coffee and food. The staff are really helpful and our little boy loved the milkshakes. Lots of choice on the menu to suit all tastes.

We visited Culture Coffee after doing a series of jobs in Coleraine. It was "service with a smile" as we ordered a large and a small fry. Excellent value and cooked to order in under 10 minutes as expected. We then ate the meals on...

After many visits during the lockdown period , I would love to say well done CC . The staff are so professional , shop is clean , and more than anything the staff are so friendly ( lovely to see happy workers in These times)...

Ordered a takeaway panini - not too complicated!! I had to go in 3 times as they messed up the order each time. No offer of a refund or a nice gesture to compensate.

Made use of their excellent selection of scones and tray bakes with a good standard of tea/coffee. Toilets still in use during Covid and clean. They operate a customer loyalty card.

Great wee spot for a coffee, however the staff have a total disregard for current COVID legislation, walking around public area’s serving food and drinks and not keeping social distance between each other and the public, is it any wonder the COVID situation is continuing...

We come here often and we are always happy with the service and the food. We'll priced and very tasty. Staff are always kind and friendly. There is a lovely blonde lady who also cooks sometimes and she is extra nice, perfect service and cannot...

We called in here for coffee last week. It was my first time, though my friend is a regular. We didn't have a meal, only tray bakes and they were lovely. The coffee was very good and I'm very fussy about my coffee. Also, the...

Recommended to us and didn't disappoint. Walked past many similar establishments and so glad we did. Staff were very attentive and patient considering we deliberated so long over the variety on the board. Ordered 2 loaded fries and a burger 🍔. Far too much but...

Brilliant staff. Made me and my friend a coffee despite being closed for over 40 minutes and the coffee was great.

Exceptional coffee and superb service. Best coffee shop and eatery on the promenade. The choice on the menu will suit all tastes and the quality is tremendous.

Food and service is excellent in this laid back coffee shop. The range of hot food is delicious, especially the deluxe burger and the wide variety of cakes and tray bakes is 2nd to none. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The place to go...

Beautiful location, lovely food, delightful atmosphere & very friend staff ensuring all is done to keep us safe in this uncertain times... don't leave the Promenade without trying a famous tray bake or homemade ice-cream

Fabulous porridge, great all round breakfast. Service is a little haphazard as all meals came at different times and butter, cutlery all had to be asked for. Covid measures are better than most places in Portstewart but still could have less tables inside and wiping...

My family and I had a couple of breakfasts here during our holiday to the north coast. The food was lovely. I asked for porridge to be made with almond milk and it was no problem for them. The staff were friendly too.

Have had takeaway coffee and treats from here previously which were nice so decided to go for breakfast. Hubby had poached eggs and dry toast. He said eggs were bland and toast not good. We had to ask for butter. I had bagel with cream...

Came in at 9:50 when they are meant to be closing in 10 minutes, but even at this time they were still so good with their service. Many employees in other places may feel fed up at this time but she was extremely conversational, gave...

Says closed but is actually now re-opened. Absolutely delighted to see service resumed, particularly since they are using proper china/ceramic crockery instead of the disposable (environmentally unfriendly) stuff other coffee shops are still using.

Having visit the portstewart store numerous times every time has been such a pleasurable experience , from the amazing coffee , homemade traybakes/ desserts to the relaxing music , this place is a must . I can not wait to try the coleraine store :)...

1st class coffee, lovely friendly staff where nothing is too much bother, awesome traybakes & scones. Anyone visiting Portstewart definately should not miss out on a visit to this wee gem. We love our wee trips to here and cannot wait to try the new...

On vacation to the north coast last month and stopped in for a quick coffee and pastry. The caramel squares were the best we’ve ever had - so good, we made a return visit two days later. Look forward to going back on our next...

Busy Sunday afternoon. Christmas decorations now up. Looks really well. I highly recommend their smoothies. Same goes for the raspberry and white chocolate scones. Very fresh and tasty.

Called in again with the family, our three year old loves the toy kitchen at the back and it's great for keeping him occupied for a while. The area at the back is great for families, lots of space for buggies and still plenty of...

First time going to Culture coffee, staff were lovely and the price was decent, as was the bun (that we had to get to distract from the taste of burnt coffee). The coffee was so bad to the point I found it undrinkable. If you...

Lovely coffee and a nice relaxing vibe. Just right! On the esplanade and you get a view of the sea from s window seat. Frequented by locals - always a good sign!

Called in here an evening last week for a coffee and a sweet treat. We were actually heading for Morellis (avoiding Bob and Berts after a woeful experience last month) and saw the old Bob and Berts is now called Cafe Culture. We ordered 2...

New coffee shop opened. Really good choice on menu. Home baked products Friendly staff. And a sea front view. Will defiantly be back.

Perfect promenade based cafe in which to meet friends for brunch. Good choice of breakfast food , plus variety of croissants, pastries, cakes etc. Coffee lovely. Had to wait for food to be cooked for a while as it was very busy. Seating needs a...

As Portstewart regular coffee drinkers we felt a bit like Goldilocks, as every coffee shop seemed to just not be ‘right’, either the coffee was awful, the buns were tasteless or the acoustics were so bad you couldn’t hear a word your mates Bob or...

Some of the best barista's in the north coast! Beauitful coffee bean 10/10, would recommend if in the north coast 😎

We had a very disappointing experience when visiting for coffee on a Sunday late morning. Staff are pleasant, but that is the only redeeming feature. The service is really inefficient - we queued for around 25 minutes just for our orders to be taken, despite...

I stopped in with my family for coffee and cake on Sunday. We waited in the queue for easily 20-25 minutes with only about 6 people in front of us and most people were ordering tea/coffee and snacks. I would say that their system is...

I called in at lunch time to enquire about gluten free options. They had gluten free burger baps for the burgers but decided on baked potato option. It was lovely and staff very helpful and friendly. Would go back.

Good coffee and a good lunch. Appreciated that the staff was willing to make a vegan panini for me. Best coffee on the strip..

I called into Culture Coffee early on a sunny July morning. Feeling a little bit peckish I ordered the breakfast as in “Ulster fry”! I wasn’t disappointed when it came out. Lovely thick bacon, two sausages, soft eggs, black pudding with soda bread and fadge,...

Great location. Lovely, tasteful decor inside. Chilled music. Busy spot but not rowdy. We called after work on Thursday evening and noticed sign said open - late every day. Two medium cappuccinos were £4.60 total. Nice snooth coffees. Will certainly be back.
