Fifty8 in Lisburn

Great coffee, pleasant and friendly staff & reasonably priced. Relaxing and clean environment. Love their almond flat white coffees.

I visited this cafe this morning, having found out about it on TripAdvisor. I do not generally visit this part of Lisburn City - even though Bachelors Walk leads to the City's Railway Station! It recently improved its signage - and is indeed more easy to identify - even though other advertising (above it) is more prominent. Almost immediately I entered, I was welcomed and shown to a table. The menu is handwritten on a chalkboard at the back of the servery and in the alcove outside the kitchen/toilet area. The waitress recommended a Pancake/Bacon Stack, with Maple Syrup; I ordered this and a cappuccino, with a pot of hot water. The cappuccino was delivered within 5 minutes and the Pancake/Bacon Stack shortly afterwards. The bacon was grilled exactly as I like it (crispy) - which is fairly rare in the other Lisburn cafes. I asked for extra Maple Syrup - and I was given a 3/4rs full bottle! The three pancakes were tasty and warmed nicely - but I only ate two of them (but all the bacon!!). The service was excellent - personable and genuinely friendly. The waitresses welcomed regular customers as if they were "family". It is "wheelchair/pram" friendly. Tables are cleaned with antiseptic spray, promptly. The "wash/powder" room is small but clean and freely available to customers. Before leaving, I was given a Loyalty Card and invited to come back again soon. The cafe's decor was simple and appropriate and the seating was comfortable. Highly recommended, for a filling snack or coffee. An oasis of calm in a busy city! Open 8:30 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday and 9 am to 4 pm Saturday. Closed on Sunday.

Lisburn has too many coffee houses and charity shops to my liking, however this Little gem has turned up in what use to be a taxi office at the junction of Antrim St & Batchelors Walk. It has only been opened around 5 weeks. They serve the lovliest scones, complete with jam & cream, coffee is very good. not a cafe as such, no cooked breakfasts etc, but they do panini's, sausage rolls etc. Noticed plenty of people (local workers from offices etc) coming and going whilst we were there. This, so far, is the best coffee house I have visited in Lisburn in many years. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
