Home Sweet Home in Ards

A busy little cafe with a great menu and excellent service.

Faultless service and very good food. Not often you get more hot water in your tea pot without asking can't say anything more.

Hello to Rhonda and Keith and a big thank you for our delicious lunch and coffee cake. We called in on Saturday for the first time and we were made very welcome. Home sweet home is delightful, friendly and the homemade food delivers on the title of the coffee/tea shop. It was just excellent and both the owners Rhonda and Keith are so attentive without overpowering you. Lots of lovely gifts in the store. Perhaps something different to put away for that time of year. Really nice journey down from Lisburn on Saturday and icing on the cake/coffee cake in our case was the food and friendliness of the shop and the whole town. On a good day don’t miss out as we went from home sweet home coffee shop down to watch the dancing. It was great fun.

Cosy, warm and welcoming. Great service from friendly owners in relaxed and comfortable surroundings. Excellent food and drinks at affordable prices. Really did feel like a "Home from home! What's not to love!

Lovely couple and you are made to feel very special when you are here Highly recommend

We visited this amazing little cafe on our Northern Ireland holiday. It was delightful. We had the best coffee of our holiday with delicious cakes. We were given such a warm welcome that we actually returned on our way to the airport for one last coffee.

Such a lovely tasty lunch. Home from home. We really enjoyed it. All homemade food and cakes. So glad we found this little gem.

Lovely little gift shop/ cafe Stopped in for coffee and cake , everything home baked! Lovely gentleman got us our order and gave us a seat in the sun out front , even adjusted awning to give us more sunshine, can’t ask for more!

Home Sweet Home is the most fitting name for this awesome cafe/gift shop - You truly do feel so welcomed by the two delightful staff members and the awesome food. I was shocked at the low prices they charge for their incredible home cooked treats and lunch type meals. The two staff members made you feel like you were at home, so welcoming and kind - they definitely added to the already fantastic experience. The Chocolate Coca Cola cake was delicious, a seemingly odd combination works really well!!! The gifts were awesome and examples of local talent, showing this cafes representation of its community! If you are in the area I would absolutely recommend stopping by (as it is conveniently located on the Main Street), low prices, awesome vibe, great food. 5/5.

Lovely wee cafe, nice food and great service from very friendly staff.

The best stew we have ever eaten. Delicious and reasonably priced. We would highly recommend this cafe.

Lovely, homely friendly place. Great coffee and delicious tray bakes. Very reasonably priced. Lots of cool gifts too.

Beautiful gifts and cakes. Very friendly staff but not the best coffee

The best experience. Rhonda and Keith such a welcoming and friendly couple. A lovely atmosphere. Gifts for purchase perfect adding to the experience along with delicious homemade food. Strongly recommend the experience.

Great atmosphere and the coffee and Apple tart were wonderful

Every time my husband and I come to Home Sweet Home we always get a really warm and friendly welcome from Rhonda and Keith. The food is always delicious and freshly cooked and the exquisite cakes, scones and traybakes etc are home baked by the talented Rhonda. Not forgetting that the lovely gifts on display are worth a good browse as well. A fabulous experience every time we visit. (Merv'n'Den)

Always welcoming. Food always beautiful and they do the best hot chocolate in Northern Ireland. 🌹

Food was absolutely delicious and service was first class. Staff are so friendly and helpful. It's a must visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Home Sweet Home. Beautiful, home cooked food and very friendly service. We'll be back again soon for some of the desserts.

Excellent service food fantastic and really welcoming staff best in town would highly recommend also wee shop a great idea x

No place like it… warm welcome, craic, home baked food, excellent coffee, spotlessly clean.. what more could you ask for!

As any good Irish person will tell you, their granny makes the best apple tart, and any you get in a cafe, etc, isn't just as good. But Rhonda's, from home sweet home, Donaghadee, is Granny good. Absolutely divine 5*

This cafe is a jewel in Donaghadee. From the minute you open the door until the minute you leave the customer is made to genuinely feel welcome. Something that is missing in other places (not Donaghadee I hasten to add). There is a warm friendly atmosphere. The menu is familiar and beautifully presented on dainty China. A welcome addition in the cafe is a range of books, cards and gifts. Upcycling is encouraged through the sale of Annie Sloan paint. All baking is home made, a visit is a must.

Probably the best chicken curry in Donaghadee!

Lovely food, lovely staff and a great place to eat.

This is a homely and comfortable cafe, full of conversation and warmth. All the food is home cooked and made to perfection. The venue is full of colour and creativity, with lots to pass your eyes over whilst you enjoy your time in the company of other patrons. A friendly, relaxed atmosphere for you to unwind in which I found absolutely delightful.

Great range of food and service excellent

Beautiful food, beautiful decor and great service! What more can you ask for.

Rhonda is always welcoming and great fun. Her home cooked food is always delicious, especially her Raspberry Cake!! Yummmmmy

Visited here today and it was lovely Had the most delicious chocolate cake That is home made my the owner coffee was really nice staff where very friendly and prices very reasonable lovely range of home made cakes and tray bakes you lovely range of gift items well worth a visit if you are about donaghadee

Have to say this bakery is amazing. Had a cake ordered and it was devoured in no time. The service was outstanding and the cake was delicious. I will definitely be back.

Warm friendly welcome, staff polite & attentive , food delicious, and home made. Highly recommend the stew with wheaten bread.

Called in with Rhonda today to buy some napkins but then saw her cinnamon and apple cake and couldn’t resist. Yum! Yum! You need to try it with custard to die for. Just leave me some for my next visit.

A very very warm and friendly welcome and great food and coffee. Always worth dropping by for a browse and a friendly chat.

My husband and I visited this tea shop with my Mum and Auntie and were very pleasantly surprised. Rhonda the owner is very friendly and made us all feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The other three opted for home made apple tart and I had home made coconut cake all of which were delicious. Tea was served in individual china teapots that rested in the china cup with saucer - all very cosy! As if that’s not enough there are also a few arts and crafts for sale so we bought 2 little sandwich trays - we will definitely be back.

Lovely Rhonda makes everybody feel special. Price and quality second to none. Knows her regulars requirements

I had a lovely breakfast here this morning, and will definitely be back. Our food was tasty, it was a spotless restaurant, and the home baking was such a welcome on a grey Autumnal morning. Definitely worth a visit!

Went for a walk around Donaghadee and came across Home sweet home, a lovely little restaurant with a lovely selection of food. The apple pie was excellent and the coffee was warm and delicious. Service was great too. Will definitely call again.

Beautiful tea room with lovely sweet treats

My wife Pamela and I just popped in for a quick snack as we're locals it's very close to where we live. Massive menu, all food prepared freshly while you wait, friendly staff and excellent value for money. What more could anyone ask for? We'll be back!

How do I begin. Well first off the great staff and service. Second, the large menu of food you could have from soup to cupcakes and thirdly, the great gluten free options as my brother, sister and myself are all coeliac.Great place overall 10/10

Home Sweet Home is my grandsons' favourite place for hot chocolate and gluten free food! The food ranges from scones & buns right through to lunches. Rhonda always makes Jack and Adam particularly welcome and we travel from Bangor quite often to enjoy the friendly atmosphere and great food & drink!

The staff are the nicest people friendly the coffee and tea is made bay hand and the tray backs I liked it

Very impressed will definately be back. Very homely and welcoming. Staff were very pleasant. Had toasted sandwich and tray bakes all good. The coffee is superb. Thank you Home Sweet Home.

Home sweet home is just the place for a lovely coffee, home baked scone and a warm welcome. Love the nautical look that home sweet home has created with their ‘new look’.

Lovely cafe/shop and lovely staff

Quiet spot to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and scone. This place is different from your usual big coffee shops where everything looks the same, including the cups. You sit surrounded by crafts and books and pictures, which you can buy if you wish.

Stopped off here on a rainy day and so glad we did.Welcoming staff, good varied menu for a light meal or snack. Very good value ,also has a small gift shop.Relaxed friendly place seems to be frequented by locals always a good indicator. It had been nearly 30 years since we visited Donaghadee and were disappointed by the bad weather but this made up for it in some way .

Lovely friendly shop and beautiful place to have a nice sit down and a cuppa with something to eat

Had coffee and cake here this afternoon. Lots of coffee shops and cafes around but the cakes in Home Sweet Home are fabulous and some a little bit different. We had carrot cake and Ginger,Pear and Orange cake. Home made and delish! Plenty of other types of cake too. Friendly atmosphere and lovely wee gift shop as well. Do try it out !

Brillant home baking 2nd to none dont go past it

A lovely place with great trybakes. A great atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. There's always great little gifts to look st while you're here.

Lovely food very quaint wee cafe

Great wee coffee shop in Donaghadee! Recommended

Enjoyed a tasty toastie and delicious cake. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, excellent service, good choice for lunch. Lovely gifts to browse and buy. Thank you.

Hihgly recommend. Great food, today had Lentil soup+Wheaten bread followed by a cuppa and lemon traybake.

You can feel the love and it certainly feels like you’re at home here. High quality coffee, fresh baked scones and wonderful bacon butties. I’ll be back !

Best Apple tart in Donaghadee , lots of gorgeous home made cakes and tray bakes, a little hidden gem 😊

Such a great little place. The toasties were divine and the apple tart is to die for. The staff are so humble and so friendly. Never been disappointed when eating here. We come from Belfast to this coffee shop restaurant and its absolutely worth it. Xx ❤️☕

Love it here - warm welcome, tastiest food and always great selection of home baked food including soups, toasties, stews, traybakes and cakes

A regular venue for a coffee and mars bar scone .. and so warm and friendly ... go and you’ll go again

Always great idea to call at home sweet home

Mmmm lovely cakes, lovely food and lovely staff and more lovely cakes.

What a lovely find.... had the best wheat bread woth cheese and my partner had homemade soup ... quirky little shop... lovely people and excellent value

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food and a nice gift shop.

Lovely little place in the heart of Donagadee to relax for a coffee or light lunch. Food is always freshly homemade and tastes like it should. Service is at its best - the food and friendly service always draw me back.

I have been to this place twice during the last month. Scones are delicious and apple tart is also really tasty A great place to chill out and really friendly/helpful staff Looking forward to my trip

A lovely homely feel and warm welcome with a small but delicious menu catering for gluten free types too. You can't help but admire the range of cards, prints, pictures and other seaside inspired decorations that are for sale here. It may be small but it's owner's heart is huge and it shows!

Home sweet home is a delightful little coffee shop and more! Food and atmosphere is lovely and it also is a little gift shop with lots to browse as you relax. All homemade- a very pleasant alternative to the soulless chain coffee shops. Also amazing value for money.

Lovely place to eat. Food great Staff lovely. Looking forward to going again

A little gem in Donaghadee. This is different to most coffee shops, not at all "corporate", but small and homely. Food mainly home made, coffee lovely. They don't serve large lunches, but soup, stew and sausage butties as well as toasted sandwiches. Also the usual tray akes and cakes. The wheaten bread is delicious. Lovely atmosphere in the shop, lots of nice nic-nacs for sale or to browse. Staff very friendly. My only small "moan" would be the slowness of the service, but I suppose the kind of place is for those who have some time to spare. Having said that I would not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone.

Great wee spot for a cuppa and a bite

Visited this delightful coffee shop today with my wife. The freshly- baked cakes were scrumptious, the coffee was really good and the staff very friendly. We can highly recommend it.

Love this place it is brilliant try and go here once a week good quality food and freshly made

Lovely warm welcome and a good selection on menu.

Beautifully decorated cafe with incredible food and a brilliant atmosphere. Fair prices and excellent customer service. We will most certainly be back!

A fantastic place to visit for a coffee and chat with a mate or two. Great scones, cake, and coffee complimented with a warm & friendly staff! What more could you want... :-)

Lovely coffee shop good craic with the owner made to feel very welcome

On a recent visit to my favorite coffee shop I tried a slice of Rhonda's lemon and elderflower cake. Absolutely divine.

Came here today for coffee with my mum. We got seated and recieved a warm and friendly welcome. Great selection of cakes and scones. I had a Marsbar scone, which was gooey and wonderful! The coffee was amazing too! It's clearly a very popular place and everyone knows each other by name, which gives a lovely personal touch. Will definitely be back!

How we have missed visiting this lovely cafe I will never know. The decor from the outside is welcoming which matches the interior. The staff are efficient and friendly. The food is delightful and great value. We will be back,often.

We love to pop into home sweet home whether it’s for a quick coffee, a sandwich or just a comforting slice of apple pie and cream. Love that Rhonda always has time for a chat, matter how busy she is. Great wee place.

Too wet and windy for the Folk Museum so we toddled along the East Coast in search of refreshment - Across from Grace Neill's Some antique old pub We found 'Home Sweet Home' and were immediately drawn in by the seaside vintage retro look - Our eyes and senses were on fire - So coconut cake and Caffe Latte we were anybodys - The idea of refreshment and retail is excellent - A magnetic cosy lil Nest we will visit again xx Tom & Veronica xx

What a great coffee shop. Lovely coffee, superb home made cakes, great craic and beautiful gifts It’s refreshing to go somewhere for a coffee and be able to purchase classy gifts. Great place and a lovely owner who gives each customer her full attention and has a real caring relationship with everyone who comes in. We will be back. Dx

Home Sweet Home is a little hidden treasure of a coffee shop in Donaghadee. Rhonda (the owner) ensures everyone receives a great welcome and her home bakes are to die for. A must to visit here.

Had a great experience at the coffee shop today. Great coffee and tea. Selection of cakes, traybakes and scones were amazing. Rhonda, the owner, was so friendly and attentive. Would thoroughly recommend.

Visited here today with my grandchildren and the way we were treated was amazing. Some restaurants should take a leaf out of their book. Nothing was any bother and the chocolate cake was to die for Make sure you try it out. Wonderful

Warm welcome, delicious flavour of coffee and freshly baked food - what more could you ask for! We love to visit home sweet home.

Quick stop for lunch and we enjoyed it. A lovely little welcoming cafe decorated with gifts for sale. Irish stew with wheaten bread was just what we needed that afternoon. While enjoying lunch we were able to browse some of the gifts on display. Service...

Really nice spot for lunch with great gifts to buy throw in as well. Quirky place with all the gifts displayed around the restaurant and also a paint store but this adds to its charm. Owners really friendly and helpful in regard to allergies. Would...

2nd visit and the standard is fantastic tea and cake today it was lovely and the lady in the shop is so friendly and has time for everyone I would recommend this shop to anyone next visit I will be trying the stew it looks delicious give it a go on your next visit or do what we do just go

The cafe is well-concealed by all the gifts in the window and there are not many tables, but the service is good and the cakes are excellent. The chocolate cake is extremely good. The coffee is fine and generous. The tea is served in a very attractive cup and matching pot, but the latter only holds a cupful. A free top-up of hot water for the pot only makes for a barely-coloured 2nd cupful. Prices are slightly above average but apart from the tea are worth it.

Very friendly and welcoming. Excellent simple wholesome food and very reasonably priced. Scones and cakes are to die for!

Recently just happened upon this little gem of a coffee shop. Delightful decor. Beautiful range of scones. Staff incredibly helpful. Bustling and busy.

Four of us (five counting the 'bump') visited Bank Holiday Monday for excellent coffee and a superb coffee and walnut cake. Beautiful interior and welcoming.

This entire venue is just brilliant. We had a victoria spongecake and a cinamon scone witg 2 coffees. Everything was delicious. Tglhe scone was the best I had. The atmosphere is amazing. Dont miss this place.

Beautiful wee place and food excellent: nothing any bother to staff Nathan loved his fried egg and bacon butty! So friendly

This is a pretty café which we discovered on a wet afternoon. All the cakes are baked there and are delicious, especially the very berry Victoria sponge! Rhonda also has a great selection of books, home wares and a lovely range of paints.

This little coffee shop is one of the best ever. Amazing range of scones,home baked goodies and to die for Pavlova. Morning coffee has taken on a whole new meaning. Rhonda is a fantastic host,nothing is too much trouble... try it out you won't be disappointed.

We went in to look at the gifts, particularly Rhonda's delicate decoupage frames. Our welcome was so warm and genuine that before long we were drinking tea from the pretty china and sampling the mouth-watering apple pie with cream. To add to our enjoyment a local gentleman highlighted aspects of Donaghadee and played his mouth-organ for us. What a lovely afternoon! We would definitely recommend a visit to Home Sweet Home.
