Finegan & Son in Newry and Mourne

Had a lovely breakfast here! We stopped in Newry for breakfast and was not disappointed. Breakfast served almost Tapas style.

Great food, bit more research than your usual food in Newry!

Probably the best place for lunch in Newry. Great spot. Great coffee and doughnuts too! Even great for a beer or natural wine.

No sons. On the day I visited, it was entirely staffed by midriff-baring hot girls

Delicious healthy food 🍲 & friendly stuff💐 and very good atmosphere 💕

what an absolutely lovely place, serving delectable food with very friendly staff. i highly recommend the fried potatoes and spicy beans for breakfast. even the tea tastes amazing. brilliant atmosphere and great music too!

Proper coffee, great atmosphere, friendly service

Ate here a while ago but just reviewing now. A café that enriches a neighbourhood. Wonderful team and produce and cooking. Tireless supporters of their community. You have to try it!!

Great spot in Newry for a lite bite and great coffee

Visited Newry for the first time to visit my partner’s family, and we stumbled across this place after staying at the Canal Court Hotel. Location was super ideal as it’s only a 5 min walk from the hotel! Food was wonderful, exactly what we needed! The ambience inside is also lovely!

This is an absolute gem of a cafe - I met a friend from Dublin here and we both had a fantastic lunch, dessert and coffee. The combination of the quality of the food, imaginative delicious menu and value is incomparable to options found in London (my home where we need less franchises and more of these fantastic independent cafes!). In addition, the staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is great and comfortable, so I strongly recommend this as to all. Looking forward to my next visit there..........

Great little place and nice staff

I had a lovely freshly prepared fry up here.. reasonably priced and served by friendly staff

Love their small plates. Breakfast is always very tasty and great value.

Just an update that the £2 coffee deal pre 9am is gone. Back to full price. I’d noticed the advertising banner promoting the deal and early opening was gone but reckoned it was our lousy local council that removed it. Our local ‘no public park here’ administration is anti local business yet throw money at fly by night spivs who promise employment and rarely deliver (one recent chancer must have been drinking his own whiskey). This council couldn’t run a bath with photo opportunity councillors that wouldn’t work on batteries. Anyway the coffee deal was brief and is now gone but the coffee and the service remain really ace and now available pre 9am.

What a fabulous place. Was visiting Newry on a rainy August Sunday and came across this place for a bit of shelter. Best coffee I've had in Ireland and the cake was definitely homemade. Loved it. Thank you.

It’s all change at Finegan’s now with a 7am opening and a £2 deal for any takeaway coffee up to 9am. Fair play to them. It’s been a few years since I’ve called by here as I’m rarely in the city. I tend to go to Krem when en route to Belfast by public transport but here was always closed when I walked right by it. I had a dental appointment this morning that brought me into the city for the ungodly hour of 9am so I went in for a £2 flat white and it’s the best flat white I’ve had in a very long time - just exceptional. Staff too real friendly. If I could award 10 stars I sure would. The dental appointment however was a disaster as the dentist had a new scan machine that was determinedly obstructive so after a frustrating 80 minutes all was abandoned. Better luck next week perhaps. I’m glad I had a fab early morning coffee.

Great brunch and outstanding coffee in a tremendous atmosphere guys! Thanks.

Had a really good brunch at Finegans, the coffee and food is great. The staff are helpful and friendly, there is a good selection of home made tray bakes (any I’ve tried are really tasty) and the freshly made donuts are amazing! It’s the go to place in Newry for coffee in my opinion.

A very limited menu. The 'basic' decor is appealing, the girls helping were good but the manager told my daughter all the tray bakes were not for sale just the donuts. Of course they were cute sale but wanted her to buy the donut and he tried to be dominant because she's teenager. He wouldn't have done that to me. She didn't tell me till later. It left a bitter not sweet taste

Nicest breakfast ive had in a long time! 10/10 😁

Acoustics are terrible and lighting is harsh. Chairs are uncomfortable. Food is great. If I visit again I would bring a cushion to sit on and ear defenders to avoid to noise. I think they want to turn over tables and so they make it so awful to shift people. I had a delicious breakfast but it was not a pleasant experience overall.

Absolutely amazing coffee & venue. A place you could lose a day in.

Waiting to go into an event at the Town Hall- nipped into this lovely quirky wee place. Had the most divine hot chocolate I've ever experienced- just wow!!!

Excellent meal with a build your own plate style dining. Refreshing vibe and great customer service.

Lovey food and staff. Will definitely be back. Was the 2nd of Jan and the girls were so busy yet so nice and helpful. Thankyou.

One of the best coffee shops in NI.

Was passing today and we decided to call in for breakfast.. Sunday 30th Oct.. We ordered coffees and breakfast from the tinest priced menu ever...ordering 3 things from menu at a cost of £9. Waiting... 45mins later....breakfast arrived. Scramble eggs tomatos, salmon and cream cheese... saugage, bacon and fried egg was got for my partner..they where busy, ther was enough staff on..but wat was the hold up of time ??45min wait,?? For such small portions... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

What a lovely cafe to stop by on our way from Dublin to Belfast. The cakes and tarts were nice. Coffee is tasty. Lots of families and kids within. Very friendly staff and a serious barrister. Nice big windows providing a view of the city. It has a pretty cosy interior and there is parking on the road just besides the cafe

Friendly staff and great Herbal tea...

Could be the best breakfast in the known universe. 🤠

Great coffees and friendly staff easy access

been quite a few times for breakfast always first class, love the cappichinos, definitely worth a vist.

Second time here, second time with bad service. Such a shame as the setting and food are good but I'll be put off coming back or recommending to anyone. Arrived and told tofu dish available so order that and drinks, then told no tofu dish left so reorder something else. Still no drinks. New dish arrives without the substitute asked for. Wait for substitute, doesn't arrive. By this time we've finished and are ready to pay. Sundried tomato hummus and avo toast was delicious but hard to enjoy when you're having to ask for something every few mins.

Best spot in newry for craft dining

I have spent many a year travelling and sampling many of the most exquisite local coffee bean blends from the valleys of Argentina to the Himalayas. On my travels I found myself in friar tucks, but out of the corner of my eye I seen this wee gem. One needed to try. The coffee in here I must say, is superb. If you are looking a tasty local fresco, say no to Tesco azera dung!! And defos try here.

Service was brilliant, staff very friendly and coffee great tasting, be calling again

Irish breakfast is good, but it was the second time I went and there was no ingredient on the menu.

Brilliant fry and the black pudding; they make it themselves. A great spot.

The best food in Newry. Always feel comfortable breastfeeding and very accommodating when I’ve recently had to request dairy free!

The BEST food! Gets better every time I visit. Highly recommend the plates and pour evenings, unbelievable food, wine and cocktails at a great price! Can't wait for my next visit!

Best breakfast I've had in Newry, the avocado, duck egg, bacon and sour dough is packed with flavor and the pour-over coffee is perfect. They didn't serve decaf coffee or tea for my pregnant wife, nor did they cook our eggs "well done" as requested. But overall very good!

Very trendy, great food, savage staff, chicken dinner this place is a winner 🏆

Stopped off for a coffee break....great coffee...very welcoming staff, ...thankyou for sharing your knowledge of places to visit....will be back

Lipstick on glass and waiting 45 minutes for a breakfast on a Sunday afternoon that never came .. 🙃 When we sat down there was something mumbled about breakfast menu ? It was 1.45 asked for water and a coffee ! The coffee was so bitter I could not drink it ! Went to pour some water and there was lipstick on the glass ..OK so it happens! But to wait 45 minutes and 2 tables get served before us plus no staff even thought to question why we had no food? probably because they were to busy talking 🤔 First time here and I can say for sure that I will never be back . Hate to give a bad review in my home town but can't let it pass sorry .

Best coffee about. Breakfast delicious. Really different. Very filling. Nice staff. A bit pricey, but a lovely treat. Would definitely eat here again. Wee iron kettle to serve tea. Nice touches.

Really good breakfasts. Offer GF bread

Great food, but very slow service. Staff not so friendly and difficult to get their attention.

Very friendly staff and food was excellant we were here for breakfast and it was all very tasty and fresh. Good value for money and we will definatelt be back. The only downfall was the background music was a little loud and echoed.

Coffee was lovely and service was pleasant.

In here today at 1.30pm for lunch, 2 adults, 2 kids, waitress took our order and said it would be 15 minutes. We ordered 4 soft drinks, which we only received 1, cutlery for 3 people, there was 4 of us. The staff behind the counter obviously were not paying attention to their customers, they too busy chatting to each other. 45 minutes later we had to ask was our food coming yet. It was not busy at this time, still a few tables empty. I would seriously be looking at my chef and kitchen staff in these premises, If they can’t cook a few chicken burgers and chips. Will not be back, terrible service!!!!!

Great food great service lovely spot

I never write reviews, but this place was truly great. Brilliant quality food, great portions of it, friendly (and beautiful) wait staff XD and all at such a reasonable price. Even the tea was good. Will be my my go-to every time I'm in Newry.

Nice place, decent food with gluten free options. Coffee was a bit too posh for me

Graeme is so friendly and the teas are first class and the food is great

Great coffee, good and service. Will be back!

Great place for breakfast or brunch with coffee

Overall a 10/10. Potatoes were absolutely amazing highly recommend, sausages were a 9/10 but I am not a sausage guy, scrambled eggs were a bit undercooked but I guess thats why we got our food quite fast and pancake has blueberries in it which for some reason it doesn't show but it was very good.

Great coffee, great food and excellent service

Great coffee. Good food Highly recommended

Great place to eat, friendly and courteous staff..👍

Great coffee, very very tasty food and a friendly atmosphere, this place ticks all the boxes. In scrolling through the other reviews I accidentally hit the 'helpful' button indicating that I agreed with comments made under the heading 'covid friendly'. Unfortunately you can't undo a helpful vote that you cast by accident! Our experience of Finegan & Son doesn't reflect that of the negative reviewer. We have never been disappointed or felt uncomfortable there. Quite the contrary, so I'd say go and enjoy some coffee!

Lovely coffee, sandwiches and soup. Nice atmosphere.

Great place! Coffee, doughnuts, small plates, tasting menus, coffee and great chat! Oh and coffee is great!

These guys know everything about coffee. Very chilled atmosphere. The staff are always willing to help and offer coffee recommendations if you don't know what yo choose. All of the food is amazing but i would suggest the small plates in partucular - they are absolutely delicious and during these Covid times are available to take away. All local produce used.

So it was freshly made doughnuts that brought us here. They had advertised on Facebook that these were being made today so it’s impulse buying. The selection included lemon curd, chocolate, raspberry (with a real raspberry atop each doughnut), strawberry (with a slice of real strawberry) and one with a wedge of honeycomb. They sure are a premium product, top priced at £2.8 each or 6 for £15. I got 6. They tasted very good but not wow. I got a flat white coffee too which was ace (£2.7). Was I glad to try them, well yes. Would I buy them again, no as they are too darn pricy. So when I next want a doughnut it’ll be into the shelbourne bakery just around the corner - their doughnuts have a lighter texture, they have more flavour and are less than half the price. I’ve no doubt that the Finegan & Son doughnut is a small batch, better quality doughnut with more expensive ingredients, but not worth it at over twice the price.

This was the first time that we visited Finegan & Son. We decided to go for brunch. With everything going on at this present moment, we expected the coffee shop to be adhering to government regulations regarding covid-19. Upon entering the shop, it was immediately clear that this was not the case. To our shock, the staff behind the bar preparing food and drinks weren’t wearing face masks or visors. We waited at the door to be seated and a member of staff showed us to a table (also not wearing a face covering). The tables weren’t 2 metres apart and customers not seated were chatting closely (also not 2 metres apart). Forget social distancing! It’s a real shame because the food and the coffee were lovely. However, we were so disappointed and were made to feel so uncomfortable that we certainly won’t be back.

Family of 4 had a Saturday morning breakfast here on a sunny day in Newry. The decor is cool & quirky & the staff were young, gorgeous & trendy as well as warm & friendly. The menu has good variety & portions were far More generous than expected. It was understandably busy & social distancing was ok. ( A bit more casual than in RoI, in my opinion ). The coffee was delicious as was the good. We had a mixture of pancakes, breads, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, potatoes. Would highly recommend this cafe. As an aside, a generous Newry man gave us his parking ticket, (which had 45 mins left) as we had not had the chance to get to bank machine for £’s,

Delicious coffee, expertly made. They provide espresso, pour-over, v60, teas, etc. I didn't realise they served food, but we were delighted with what we got. The food seemed fresh and made to order. Nice, simple interior. Friendly staff.

Good food and a nice selection on the menu bring your own bottle we forgot and there are no shops close by to get anything, but very enjoyable surrounding and seating set out in a safe manner.

Been a few times, always spot on, nicest cappuccino iv ever had would definitely recommend we bit more expensive that local cafes but worth it

Quite disappointed. We arrived on our way to the giants causeway and we were quite dissapointed, first impressions the cafe is cute and quirky and the menu although limited due to covid I suspect sounded lovely. We were greeted by a pleasant man that got us sat down pretty quickly it was all downhill from here, the staff seemed to walk around like headless chickens aimlessly walking around creating a busy atmosphere when in fact it should have been quite manageable especially with 4 members of front of house staff, it took about 15 mins to have our order taken. The girl that took our order didn't really have much customer service experience and was quite bland (just like the food). I ordered the katsu chicken burger with no bun and my partner had the jackfruit tacos (the only reason for the second star) we waited approx. 40 mins for food. I would understand if the place was rammed however it wasn't, so no excuses. Let's start with the katsu burger, extremely overcooked chicken obviously forgotten and left in the fryer too long - tasteless, the katsu sauce was pretty much just coleslaw with a bit of curry powder again very tasteless. It's always a bit worrying when the chips are the best part of your meal. The jackfruit tacos were full of flavour and delicious, brilliant recipe and kudos to the chef, the only critisim here is that there is no warning on the menu about the spice level, for my partners pallet this was way too much and she had no warning before ordering. All in all Finegan & Son its a 2/5. You really have something here but it needs a lot of work, front of house need a bit more training and the kitchen shouldn't be sending out tasteless overcooked food. Pros - clean - friendly - good atmosphere

Amazing food, good and friendly service, very reasonable price!

We happened upon Finegan & son on a trip back down south around noon. The place was packed, and it stood to reason because most customers were possibly there upon opening such was the speed of service. It took 20 minutes to be seated in an obviously free table, 40 minutes for coffee to arrive and an eternity for our food. People were ageing before our very eyes. If you have a lot of both time and patience, visit. If not steer clear.

Lovely food. Deffo will be back

Best coffee about. Food is also amazing and all staff are very friendly 10/10 would recommend to a mate.

Love this place. Had been for breakfast before but never had lunch. Took ages to decide as EVERYTHING on the menu sounded amazing. Opted for ban mhi, while my wife plumped for katsu chicken burger, and we shared both. Eldest child had ramen, which was stunning. Eldest son also had burger while youngest two loved their sausage and chips. Can’t fault food or service, just wish there was somewhere like this closer to home. Meals for six with two Lattes to go was £53. Nice big table outside too for those still wary of COVId. Place was busy, nice atmosphere, decor and music. Looking forward to trying Meatings dinner sometime.

Best breakfast I've had in ages..... Get the potatoes and the coffee !

We visited Fineganand Son and were startled at the sheer variety of lunch options. The ramen was excellent as was the pulled park burger. Coffee was beautiful. Well worth getting a takeaway for later on!

Best coffee in Northern Ireland ☕️ Super reasonable prices for their amazing breakfast - would recommend 3 items for 1 person as 5 is a LOT!

I went here with my family around noon for breakfast and the service was terrible. Firstly it took over an hour for our food to arrive as well as this half the items on the short menu were unavailable. I ordered avacado and without even asking me they brought out black pudding instead. Wouldn’t go here again and definitely would not recommend.

This coffee shop serves decent single origin type coffee which is of good quality..My only gripes are that the cups are quite small & coffee could be served a bit hotter but I would still recommend this place...

Consistently brilliant, charming cafe/brewbar with really friendly staff. Inventive lunch menu with generous portions and without a doubt the best coffee in NI. Expect to spend around £10. They also do homemade doughnuts and sweets. Yet to book an evening meal but hearing good reports!

Good food and coffee. We were there only once so far, on Sunday. The service was a bit slow but other than that we enjoyed our lunch there.

Excellent atmosphere, food, coffee and staff

Excellent food with incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff

My friends and I decided to meet up for Sunday breakfast I thought the breakfast was excellent, the menu had a great choice of locally sourced ingredients and the cafe had a lovely vibe

Really lovely coffee with more European taste than local which I prefer. Also choice of very special blends of coffee from allover the world. The most special is possiblity to take part in blind menu five course dinner on Saturdays. Very unique in Newry lovely food from chef, I would name the taste organic, local sourced Irish food with French twist. Expensive experience but worth every penny

A little gem!! Good quality food served individually. See photo of breakfast. Really enjoyed the whole expirence and look forward to our next visit.

One of Ireland's best coffee spots!

Cheery location. Food was delicious.

Three of us came for small plates night and were advised to arrive at 19:00 which we did. The booking process was straightforward. The first course arrived at 20:10 then the third course (the main) at 21:30. When we asked why the sevice was so slow we were advised that everyone had to be seated before the first course was served (supposed to be seated at 1900 and course served at 1930) and a couple had arrived late at 2000 hence the delay.The food was amazing and I can’t fault that in anyway and it was very reasonably priced for the quality with products all locally sourced. All of the courses were explained. However, the experience was not good, it was cold and I wore my coat and we sat on old school chairs which were hard and uncomfortable. When we complained about the pace of the sevice, while our concerns were addressed we were made to feel we didn’t understand the concept and that the experience was meant to last for four hours. We have dined in fine dining establishments previously and have never come accross this concept and can’t understand where it is acceptable anywhere to wait that long for food or to blame other customers for the delay. Surely if other customers are late then they are turned away or receive their courses when they arrive so as not to delay other guests. We had come to ask earlier in the day if we needed to be there for 19:00 exactly to which we were informed yes. Suggest advising customers there is flexibility on this time so that they are not waiting so long from arrival to first course (1hr 10min is too long to wait).When I asked to pay for the bill I asked for the card machine from the waitress who said she would get it. I waited another ten minutes then had to ask her again and she told me I had to pay at the counter...why not say that in the first place?!

Great coffee, good food however, the place was freezing and seats aren't the most comfortable. Keeps the stays short

Great night, different food, friendly staff.... A1

Great modern bite in Newry good for out of country clients

My sister and I wanted to do the small plates night with byob but left as soon as we arrived as the restaurant was freezing .As it was a very cold night would have thought it would have been warm inside left and went to Courtneys.

I visited Finegan & Son for the first time today with friend's. I must admit I am not a big coffee lover but as they say "when in Rome" so I got a latte with my food. The coffee was fantastic, and the food was delicious. Really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

On our way to Dublin we fell upon this quirky Coffee bar and Restaurant shop an d was so pleased we pitched up for a good breakfast The restaurant offers fabulous Coffees & Teas plus the selection list for breakfast was lengthy and the choice of breads made it that bit special as in Sourdough , Whole Grain and Gluten Free was available and I must say the products used were all of High Quality taste and standard and obviously sourced from local suppliersOur choice of Eggs Poached & Fried were cooked to perfection and the Sausage & Bacon was of the WOW factor along with great service it was a fab findAlso if you are into Home Made Cakes and Pastries look no further try the house Rocky Road and boy was it good and huge in sizeWill definitely love to stop here on another visit to Ulster

Great food and excellent table service, the coffee was ok

If you are looking for quality coffee & food, this is the place to be. Quite a unique food menu shows off how nice the food the create is. Coffee is top notch, great atmosphere! Awesome place
