Flax Coffee Shop & Visitor Centre in Magherafelt

Can't say enough about the Flax, from the cosy, olde worlde surroundings, the plus of having a river beside it has to have one of the best settings. Good varied menu with lots of really nice and different choices than the usual run of the mill cafes. Service is exceptional. p.s they do their version of an Ulster Fry which is absolutely a belly buster LOL, my husband had difficulty finishing it and I know I would have struggle to eat half of it. Highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Lovely food and staff. Really nice cosy atmosphere inside and great coffee! Pam is very accommodating and will make anything vegan/veggie on request :)

Visited late afternoon yesterday. Very friendly staff, spotless, tables well spaced and lots of atmosphere. Very good choice on menu and food was excellent, delicious chicken goujons and best chunky chip ever. Would certainly recommend and will be back.

This has been our second visit and it was equally as delicious as first time, all locally sourced produce and with great presentation. Service and atmosphere is a credit to the owners

We visited here as we had heard it was under new ownership and had heard good reports . The reports were true . The place was spotless and the staff were very friendly and professional. After a short wait we received our meals and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Upperlands area and we will certainly be returning next time we are up that direction .

Lovely coffee shop in the heart of Upperlands village. Good choice of meals and treats and the coffee is lovely. Very friendly service, they went out of their way to accommodate our group. We called ahead for our group of eight and they had reserved and dressed our table for the festive season. A good steady flow of customers added to the warm, friendly atmosphere. Would recommend a visit (and a traybake).
