Good cafe, quick serve, reasonably priced I wasn’t a fan of the soda bread but that’s just personal taste. The portion size is great and the staff were very night. It was a nice bonus to get a pot of tea and coffee rather than a cup.

Lovely traditional café with a nice selection of choices for breakfast. Went with 3 friends who had the medium fry, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I had eggs benedict, and it was faultless. The server was a very friendly and efficient person, friendly atmosphere. The only possible drawback is that it's all upstairs in a very old harbour building, so I left my rollator at the bottom of the stairs. Good bannister and stairs not unmanageable if you can walk at all.

Have been here a few times if travelling up north coast-the cafe is up some steep stairs and can fill up quickly, there are tables outside, but too cold yet for that. Menu is good, and reasonable prices, but fry is very very greasy, plates of mine and both friends where swimming in grease, mainly from the bacon eggs and mushrooms. Would it be too hard to put the bacon etc on kitchen roll before serving it ? I asked one of the girls why the food was so greasy, she just looked embaressed and shrugged. The staff are nice enough, but can be a bit sharp with foreigners. I noticed last time we were in 3 of the women staff went out for a smoke, didn`t see any of them wash their hands when they came back in. Also no staff wearing hair-nets or hats which isn`t great, especially those in the kitchen. Take note, it`s cash only, no card machine, but there is a Spar ATM and other shops nearby. They told me the internet connection is not reliable in the area of a card machine, yet other shops in the village have them, so make of that what you will. All in all it`s okay, but the hygiene is suspect and food can be really very greasy especially the fry up, which is just down to laziness.

Visiting Carnlough for the first time in almost a year, I decided to have lunch in the Harbour Lights Cafe. Entering the Cafe, I had to climb a flight of stairs and then wait just a few seconds to be seated at a table. There are many items on the breakfast and lunch menu, most of which are priced under ten Pounds. I ordered a baked potato with tuna, mayo and onion. What I received after about ten minutes wait, was a baked potato with tuna, mayo, onion, cheese, coleslaw and a lettuce, red onion and tomato salad. All of which made for an extremely generous portion at the menu price of £6.95. Altogether, this was great value for money and I'll definitely be back to the Harbour Lights Cafe in the near future - and I'd certainly recommend it to others.

The food was really first class and would give alot of restaurants a good run for the money. It's situated in Carnlough so the scenery speaks for itself. (They to incredible toasties, hopefully the chef gets this second time round😏. Can't recommend the cafe enough.

Of all the places we visited in Northern Ireland this was the most unwelcoming place. No idea why this should be - with the lack of business at this time of year and with the welcome everywhere else, we were baffled. Had we known of anywhere else to go and not been so hungry we would have walked out. The ham and cheese toasties were as expected, the chips greasy.

We called into the cafe by chance today and we were really glad we did. We were greeted by a very frirndly guy called Ciarán who led us to a window seat with a beautiful view of the harbour. Then an equally friendly waitress called Ann took our order and very quickly our meal was sat in front of us. Perfectly presented, brilliant size portions and was absolutely delicious. The toilets were spotless as was everywhere else.Great value for money. Will definitely be back. Worth a drive to Carnlough.
