Haptik in Ards

Great food, customer service brill, and busy. Overall excellent.

Great quality food. Fast efficient friendly service. Coffee is best in North Down.

Amazing . Soooooo tasty and different

Very tasty food and friendly staff. So much colour and flavor on a plate, yummy, will definitely be back. It's like as a flavour party in your mouth. Every mouthful is a different flavour combo.

Very tasty brunch here. The shakshuka was great.

Fantastic place! We will come again!

What a great wee surprise. I took my dad for brunch in Newtownards and managed to find parking very close by to the place. We decided that it looked ok for lunch and wandered in. My dad got the soup of the day (tomato and something) and I got Huevos Rancheros. The soup was excellent and my dad finished it off. My dish was absolutely *nothing like* real Mexican Huevos Rancheros but that didn’t matter at all as it was absolutely amazing. Plate full of fresh salad and veggies with eggs and some very tasty beans. Couldn’t fault it. Coffee was great too!

The food is delicious, staff are very efficient and friendly.The refried beans are a triumph and Baghdad Eggs are sublime.They really know how to pack flavour into food.

Called here for a light breakfast / brunch as we were on our way home from our family holiday and taking the kids to a nearby fun farm so didn't want to eat lunch there. Loved the food and the atmosphere, kids got a waffle each that came with bacon and syrup. The bacon was finely chopped making it easy to eat, and they both enjoyed their meal. My husband got the breakfast brioche roll, which was delicious, and I had the house sausage roll, which was 10/10. As we both agreed, the food both looked lovely and was very edible. My only regret is not taking something sweet to go as we won't be back in the area for a long time given we live so far away! A lovely treat to get here and really family friendly.

My family and I enjoyed brunch here. The food was amazing (the coffee too), the atmosphere was great and the servers attentive and smiling! Everyone enjoyed their food and had a great time. Would highly recommend!

Nice alternative to some of the run of the mill coffee shops.

Lovely iced coffee never ate there but food looks good. Very rustic place..Will be back.

Great little place!! Me being from Austin,Texas and my partner being from Newtownards, she took me there. Had the margarita, needs a bit of work on it. The strawberry / lime soda was good and refreshing. I had the Thai Noodle Salad, very tasty and it actually filled me up!! My partner tried the lamb slider which was actually a lamb burger, also very nice!! Overall a great place to go eat, it reminded me of back home in Texas.. Will go again before leaving NI!! Thank you for a great lunch!

Haptik is my favourite brunch spot in the world. The Huevos Rancheros is out of this world, there is always a decent playlist on the go and Chris brings the vibes every time.

Haptik, Newtownards. Haptik on Frances Street is a Newtownards legend, serving delicious brunches, in an atmosphere where art meets quality coffee and fabulous food. For our brunch we chose the Veggie Huevos Rancheros; a hearty Mexican breakfast with homemade spicy beans, fried egg, salsa, avocado, sour cream, guindilla chilli, cheese & sriracha served on toasted tortilla, and the Baghdad Eggs fried in a flavourful Ras-el-Hanout butter and served on homemade flatbread with sun dried tomato, pistachio, feta, za’atar & a creamy herby yoghurt. And why not treat yourself to a brunchtime cocktail? It is summer after all, contrary to what a cursory glance out the window might suggest! A Bloody Mary with lashings of Tabasco and a fiery Chilli Margarita certainly warmed the cockles of our hearts, and banished a damp and autumnal July afternoon. Of course, Haptik is renowned for its seasonal & guest coffees, and sinfully sweet treats; both the Pecan Pie, and Cinnamon Buns were irresistibly good. Surrounded by colourful canvases by the incredibly talented Rachel McBride, a carefully curated playlist of indie nostalgia, and friendly, attentive, service, Haptik is much more than just a coffee shop. And keep an eye out for occasional collaborative Supper Clubs, inspired by Johnny and Rachel’s foodie adventures. #haptik #wearehaptik #newtownards #coffee #brunch #lunch #TheGourmetBoys #tgb #supportlocal #tandem #belfastfoodblogger #belfastfoodie #niblogger #nibloggers #nifoodblogger #foodlover #irishfoodblogger #irishblogger #eatingoutni #discoverni #discoverireland

£14 for two sausage rolls? Have you lost your mind. And they were just OK. Chilli through them maybe and loads of veg for some reason

Great food. Great coffee. And excellent service. Having only been able to go twice whilst on holiday we haven’t tried all the menu. But we could easily recommend mushrooms on toast and fresh tomato soup as excellent choices.

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday and the food was absolutely delicious and something a bit different. We both shared a lemon meringue muffin and a warm cherry pie for dessert and they were to die for! Highly recommend for food, service, atmosphere and nice interiors.

I just love this place. The staff are fantastic, the huevos rancheros is epic, coffee and tray bakes are superb. So glad to have this place in the local area 🙏🙌🙂

They have beer! They have amazing food, like really good and tasty , we had pork tacos and lamb kebab, Greek salad… sooo good The staff are friendly and attentive And it’s affordable

Visited this eatery and it was a great experience.

Yes, I can buy and eat my own flowers for breakfast! Beautiful brunch enjoyed on my first, but imagine it will not be my last, visit to this fantastic cafe in Newtownards. Choosing gluten free cost me my sausages but the dish more than made up for my initial disappointment. Food quality was superb, portion generous and the gluten free bagel was a bonus. Would heartily recommend. Very friendly and helpful servers and I loved the interiors of this place as well. Note: at busy times you may have to wait for tables of four but I was quickly seated as I only needed a table of one. Totally worth a wait though if you ever find that there is one!

Food is always beautifully presented and so delicious! Lots of choice for vegetarians and they were also happy to replace the meat in the special. Very friendly staff, always glad to come back whenever we're in Newtownards

I love visiting this cafe, they have delicious coffee and amazing healthy food Delicious 👌👌👌

Haptik has it's own style and is very popular. We go back there from time to time. Street parking is available as well as off street parking. Friendly staff

Great coffee shop - not a restaurant

A slightly unique eating house that specialises in brunch with some stunning dishes of healthy and delicious food. Coffee is also good. Opens at 09.00 until 15.00 with the kitchen closing at 14.30. Can become very busy indeed.

We’ve become frequent visitors of Haptic in Newtownards for brunch and have been consistently delighted with our experiences. It’s quite remarkable how each visit, even though we order the same dishes, offers a unique and enjoyable taste experience. The dedication and meticulousness put into preparing each dish are truly astonishing. While the prices aren’t the lowest, the value you receive in terms of quality and taste is extraordinary. It’s definitely worth it for the incredible, healthy, and delicious food you get.

Love this place! The food is beautifully presented and tastes delicious! Service is great and the atmosphere is cosy.

Great brunch spot for food and coffee

Great food and lovely staff, I love this place

Great team working, relaxed easy atmosphere. Fresh delicious tasty food. I opted for my usual - Avocado Smash with a side of lightly fried egg and chorizo. Outstanding. To drink I picked an oat milk turmeric latte. Recommend, definitely worth it

Great food and staff, if you don't fancy exactly what is on the menu, the staff will do anything to try to tweak it for you. Best coffee shop/bistro type in Newtownards

Never disappoints. Melbournesque menu and aesthetics. Great flat whites.

Quirky. Food can be like a colourful explosion, with little extras like pomegranate seeds . Good for brunch.

Refreshingly different venue - Great food and service. Love this place.

Fabulous! I have been going for a few years but recently introduced my other half and it’s now our new fave spot! Honestly find the place faultless!

Love this place. Delicious food, great coffee, friendly staff. Never disappoints.

A little pricier than most places in Newtownards, but worth every penny for the high quality meals, service, and atmosphere

I’ve become a right coffee snob…. But of the 100s of coffee places I’ve been to in this year, this was the best coffee I’ve had. The food was also absolutely incredible, prepared with all of the seasoning and balance id expect of a professional restaurant and made for a chefs palette.

Great spot for coffee, breakfast, brunch and more. Quality of food was first class. Friendly staff and prompt setvice.

Really excellent cafe. Busy but worth it. High quality coffee too

This will become a regular haunt 😄

Food is good i think sometimes they make things more complicated than needs be just so it look’s pretty but it does taste good. not good for picky eater

Disappointing!! the Shakshuka was Very GOOD but it is clearly a baked ''egg'' not baked ''eggs'' per the menu description and for £11.00 two eggs should not be a push for this dish! Not good value for money, particularly when compared to competitors. Service wise it's basic and considering "the these days" Table to Service Provider ratio of 6 tables to 4 Team members, I'm being very, very positive in that assessment. Also describing a dish to a customer when they point out an issue when they have read the menu description ordered based on it then eaten the dish is really not the correct justification for the complaint!

Very helpful staff, great brunch and good price. Very good coffee flight.

Best food you will get, easily my favourite place for breakfast/lunch. Food is always so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend

Food and service couldn't be better, a great place for breakfast or lunch

Please just do poached eggs again . Everything was great though.

Always a happy experience Friendly attentive staff Clean tables Nice music 🎶 Toilet spotless

Just dropped in for a freshly brewed coffee and a shared rather sweet traybake with my wife while we were out shopping in Newtownards. All lovely. Noticed a rather extensive menu and tasty specials board which made me think about looking for an opportunity to go out for breakfast or brunch.

First time in, absolutely loved the food: obviously made by someone who cares about his/her trade. Coffee was excellent too. Not sure what the other reviews are complaining about the size of the cups for. If you want oversized dishwater, go to Starbucks. Service was very good and friendly. Price was very reasonable. Would easily return again.

Great spot that we never tire of! Food is always fantastic and my iced latte hit the spot on a warm day 😁 Breakfast roll and shakshuka! Took no time at all and service is always friendly.

Visited here this morning with my wife. Our first time at Haptik, and have to say it was really excellent. Service was top notch and food was so delicious. Coffee was great as well. I had the Huevos Rancheros and my wife had the Baghdad Eggs. Really really good - would highly recommend. 5 stars ⭐️

First time in Haptik Newtownards, first class! Had a gorgeous brunch and fabulous coffee. Very different experience to Haptik Belfast.

Had a noodle salad, it had chicken, noodles, pink ginger, edema beans, pomegranate, peanuts, coriander, spring onions, pea shoots, carrots, Vietnamese dressing, lettuce, cucumber, chai seeds, chilli pepper and a pink sauce which was either made of the pink ginger or mayo+pomegranate? This isn't a well written review.. I'm just writing the ingredients for prosperity.. it's genuinely the nicest meal out I've had in an extremely long time

No matter the time of day, the staff are always friendly and give you the best experience. The food is amazing no matter what you go for. Well priced for what you get and can’t complain about the number of flavours that come out of it for brunch/lunch!

Its my favorite place for breakfast on a Saturday

Arrived today for brunch , table of four Seated promptly and service prompt also . Exceptionally knowledgeable staff and super friendly . Food was beautifully presented and large portions , tasted sooo good ! Coffee after also excellent . Staff so busy , but always appeared polite and happy .Super venue .Lovely if it was open later in day / evening .😊

One of our favourite brunch spots in Northern Ireland- the food is always delicious and staff friendly. Well worth a visit.

Probably the best coffee I’ve ever had. Enjoyed a very flavourful flat white and some peach waffles. Food is excellently presented and all tastes amazing. Staff are very friendly and service is fast.

The queue out the door says it all! This little place does well because the food is not only beautifully presented - it tastes fantastic. Service really good, friendly staff and warm and welcome atmosphere. Delightful find!

Quality food, at great prices. Place was packed. Get there early

The soup and bread are out of this world. Lovely

Had a hen party brunch in the upstairs private room. Setting was lovely, staff were accommodating and the food was delicious! Thoroughly recommend.

Great place, service and coffee bang on the food is delicious

Great food with attention to detail. Maybe need to review their cappuccino offering; Mine was definitely a latte. Small point but worth correcting. Overall great place.

I think this is my happy place. Run by a very cool couple who are well travelled and you can tell. The food, the entire menu in fact is delish. Yes I've probably eaten most things on it. Bit of mexican, bit of middle east, lots of creative fusion on offer, all super fresh plates which look as incredible as they taste. It's wonderful for brunch. Always busy for good reason

Outstanding food and atmosphere.....

Fantastic discovery! Haptic is a hidden gem. Contemporary space serving an eclectic all-day brunch menu with a twist and fabulous coffee. Staff are all lovely and friendly. Second visit in a month and can’t wait to go back. The food is a revelation with a Middle Eastern vibe. Expect your plate to be a riot of colour, tastes and textures - stunning visually in presentation and a feast for your tastebuds. We’re slowing working our way through the menu. Haptic wouldn’t be out of place in Shoreditch or Amsterdam but thankfully it’s in Newtownards! A pity I can only award five stars, it’s worth six ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Constantly good, tasty food. With friendly service and a Dutch twist. Hidden gem in Greyabbey, well worth a visit.

Fantastic wee place, highly recommend. Tasty, well presented food, all fresh. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere.

Food is absolutely gorgeous. Can't recommend here enough. My favourite lunch spot for a treat and really reasonable considering the food is so freshly made.

If you want a modern brunch experience, this place is a great option. I love baghdad eggs and huevos rancheros but everything seems great. Coffee is great too.

Great food, pricey, but you get what you pay for, which is, great food, service, atmosphere.

Very fast and friendly service, food was delicious with great portions sizes and well priced. To expect a slight wait to be seated as it is a busy place. Alternative options were available for diary and vegan.

Food was as good as it always is

Tasty, healthy, nice wait staff. Baghdad eggs - Beautiful. Coffee - Very good. All of the plates look and taste good. The staff and friendly. I’ve been back a few times with family - we usually have to wait for a table when trying to seat 4+ people, but worth the wait.

This cafe would hold its own anywhere in the world, including California, Portland, and Seatle. The food stands out. The coffee is tops and the staff are amazing. I go here at least half the days I'm in belfast each visit.

The chef deserves an award. The most delicious food I have eaten! Just wow! Not your average meal, all items on the menu have their own flair. Was worth the wait in the wet and cold due to being so full. Definitely worth a visit.

Food is amazing. My favourite place for brunch :)

I’ve been twice in 2 weeks and the food is absolutely spectacular!! Had the Avocado Smash - beautifully presented and so tasty. The waiters were really friendly - the service was quick and efficient. Well done - you are obviously doing things right - the place was full, and everyone’s food looked amazing. Great attention to detail.

Beans on toast! Wowsers not your usual beans on toast...

Went on the recent bank holiday. It is a lovely space with lots of seating so wasn’t waiting too long. Nice menu in terms of food and drink that was served very promptly. Just a little noisy at the table beside where the washed up crockery was put. Barista actually listened to a request for a strong hot chocolate and it was really good. The banana bread was also lovely, could had had perhaps a tiny bit more sauce as it did get a bit dry for me personally. I also think their opening hours could be slightly longer, this was my third attempt trying to visit them as they close at 3pm! All the staff were very nice. Highly recommend visiting!

Vegan beans, delicious 😋, great value

Every time I come to Haptik I find it difficult to choose off the menu as everything is guaranteed to be tasty and freshly prepared. Today I had the eggs on sourdough. Absolutely delicious and my eggs were perfectly cooked. All washed down with a latte. The staff always provide a warm welcome with some craic too.

Absolutely fantastic experience, consistently. A superb destination for breakfast with a great menu. Service is excellent and staff are also very knowledgeable about their products.

Beautiful food and coffee strong like rocket fuel ☕🥐

HAPPY-Tik Great food and staff but remembering the name for reference to others is a problem 😤

I love this place, I've never had anything bad from the menu! The staff always remembers me too....don't know if that means I'm here too often or not but always great service!

Don't bother going anywhere else.. this place is unrivalled 🏆

Ate here for the first time today after hearing great things about their food and was not disappointed. I had the savoury waffle and I didn't want it to end! Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Staff and so friendly too. All in all I would highly recommend a visit.

Went for brunch . Great service, friendly, informative and efficient. I had the Mexican breakfast and my wife the baked eggs. Both were superb. Fresh ingredients, a mouthful of different flavours bursting . No wonder it’s so busy. But tables do turn round quickly. The coffee is excellent as is the peppermint tea. Go here. Do yourself a kindness .

Had a great brunch with friends at the Newtonards branch. Great food and friendly service. Highly recommended. A fantastic place to eat in the town.

Lovely veggie lunch will be back

Got a mexican breakfast to go. It's the only meal that I don't feel guilty for spending money on (in this economy)-it's worth every penny. Whatever chef accidentally dropped some feta on to it, well I love you. It was busy but your staff are all so welcoming. Great food, great vibes ❤

Great food and great service in a great setting

Always amazing staff, great atmosphere.

Very nice dining experience the food is exceptional and well presented. Reasonably priced for what you are getting.

Fabulous spot for lunch varied menu stylishly presented homemade breads full of flavour great service highly recommend
