Eat Well in Larne

I visit the coffee shop regularly with a group of cyclists. The staff are always friendly and the service reasonably prompt. This is one of our favourite locations for mid-ride refreshments. There is a dedicated cycle parking area, which is a great provision, although we are reluctant to use the "wheel bender" type cycle rack. A single bar at approx chest height is all that is required to hang the bike on. However a few months ago an electric gate was installed across the main tarmac entrance road. Unfortunately the cyclists now have to share the pedestrian entrance and paths, as it is very difficult to cycle over the loose stones in the car park area and cycling shoes aren't made for walking. We would appeal to the castle's management to address this. Otherwise, perfect! This access issue has been improved, thank you.

Extremely disappointed. Was really looking forward to returning here after a temporary closure, as the food used to be fantastic. Firstly staff were rude to my husband when he went to collect the order as they presented him with a different total than the price I had been told on the phone and he didnt have enough cash with him. Our order was all wrong, so the person who took the order on the phone obviously misheard, but they didn't read it back to me to check. I asked for cashew nuts in my chow mein, which I didn't get, asked for King Prawn balls and got Cantonese style. The chips were overcooked and full of bad bits. My beef was so overcooked and tough I would've been better boiling my boots and trying to eat them instead. Ended up with my wee boy in tears as he had been so looking forward to his meal and couldn't eat it because the prawns were in a sauce that he doesn't like, which is precisely why I get Prawn balls as they come with the sauce separate. We won't be back.

Very nice food I will be coming for food again

Delicious food excellent service highly recommended

We recently visited Taste Coffee and Restaurant in Larne, and it was such a fantastic experience that we completely forgot to take pictures! Thankfully, I found some on their Facebook page, but they hardly do justice to how great this place is. The food was incredible, with so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and the chips and shakes were an absolute must-try! The service was super fast, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. A special shoutout to Joanne, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. If you’re in Larne and looking for the best cafe in town, Taste is a must-visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can’t wait to come back!
