Leona's Tea Room & Bakery in Coleraine - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a disappointing visit. No cod or pizza available despite being on the menu. 2 glasses of Coke arrived completely flat. Waited 25 minutes for food when it was quiet. No baby changing facilities available, asked at reception and was told to use the toilets in the hall, men’s and woman’s, no baby changing in the men’s. Sanitizer empty at the men’s toilets, also empty on the entrance to Leonas, (now located in the bar area of the hotel, very cold and not what you would expect a tea room to look like). Very very expensive. Top hat £2.70??? Food was very poor quality. Frozen chips and goujons from lynas. At the prices they charge this is not acceptable.

When ordering tea and coffee with a meal remember to ask for it to b brought along with the meal. Otherwise you will receive it first and it will be cold and stewed before your meal arrives 30 to 45 minutes later!! (A toastie). When we mentioned to the staff about cold tea and coffee we were told they don't ask the customer if they want it WITH their meal, it's up to the customer to ask.

Wonderful wee fruit scone with jam and cream and butter. We sat outside with the dog and enjoyed a bit of sunshine. Lovely service. Highly recommended.

Visited Leona’s for brunch with my parents and children on our first meal out since lockdown. All of the Covid procedures in place were very reassuring - hand sanitiser, tables spaced apart, staff in visors. We had a selection of meals from the breakfast menu and all were delicious. It was all so good we rebooked for lunch a few days later. Although it was busy at lunchtime staff were very attentive and we didn’t wait long for our food. All food was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful lunch served by friendly, attentive staff. The well thought-out layout and social distancing measures were very reassuring. Excellent coffee and chocolate cake to die for. Highly recommended.

Lovely little spot. The food, service and decor is much superior to that if rivals Panky doos and Dora’s. Only thing is I would like to see a bit more option on the menu. Like chips with the burgers. The selection of traybakes are fantastic. Reasonable price for the size. From all of the bread and cakes that I have had they have indeed been excellent. I would return and I do visit every other week.

We stumbled across this place by accident, really we were just looking for somewhere to shelter from the rain! We were pleasantly surprised by Leona's Tea Room, the staff were very friendly and there was a great atmosphere. It was mid morning so we just had coffee and scones which were delicious but we definitely hope to return for something more substantial.

What a lovely place, very surprised to find this splendid tea room / coffee shop. The range of cakes etc are super and the coffee is excellent!!

Beautiful tea room. Tray bake heaven! Unbelievable huge scones. Excellent service. We tried cherry, strawberry and sniggers bar, cheese and mustard, all superb.

Always liked coming here until I took mum this week. She wanted to takeaway piece of cake ..... no reduction in price for takeout and charged £3.95 for minuscule piece of cake ...she is a pensioner and this was a pure rip off

Two light lunches in Leona's. Vegetable soup and wheaten bread provided a very filling and delicious meal - the soup was the best I've had , just like I would make ....! Wheaten bread also excellent. Next day potato and leek soup much enjoyed by my husband . The cheese and pickle sandwich very well filled and tasty. Husband asked for a half strength cappuccino, and was brought a mug of frothed milk with separate expresso shot in little jug so he could make to taste. Exceptional service. Both visits gave a very pleasant experience.

Ideal for a bite to eat any time of the day. The staff are all really pleasant and caring people. If what you want isn’t on the menu they’ll do their best to accommodate your needs. Spotlessly clean and tidy with a mouthwatering menu to match tempt you.

Lovely wee tea room for good food and a chat. Food is a touch pricey but not extortionate (hence the four stars) but it is good food! Have been a few times now and the standard has been the same each visit.

Booked afternoon tea and was not disappointed table decorated with crackers and china cups and saucers. Great selection of sandwiches, pasterries and scones amazing jam that can be purchased Dumpsie Dearie jam. Great value as good as some of the 4 star hotels in Belfast

Great pit stop for a cup of tea and fantastic selection of home baked treats - also good for traditional breakfast or light lunch.

I made a recent visit with my family for afternoon tea.

Called in here for coffee/tea and buns one day. Although the interior of the cafe is extremely inviting the atmosphere was lacking. The buns we got were unfortunately dry and tasted as if they had been sitting on the display counter for a while. However, we got a great pot of tea which was served in a very large teapot, helpful when pouring numerous cups of tea. All in all, food and service was ok. Unlikely to be back.

Afternoon tea was not worth it the sandwiches were rotten the service was vert slow too worst afternoon tea ever had but the rest of meals that people were eating seemed good

The staff were pleasant but I requested plain sandwiches and ended up with a chicken sandwich with large pieces of pepper and another sandwich which tasted like cranberry with cheese. The tray bakes were not nice and way too sweet and sickly. I have had afternoon tea other places but this was the worst and at £13 each not cheap.

I've been a customer at Leona's for several years but only getting around to doing a review now. Friendly & helpful staff take your order and serve to your table. Crisp, white linen table cloths and white China plates. The food is yummy with a wide choice between a little sweet nibble through to a meal. The home baking is superb and the scones are delicious - the best I've eaten anywhere. Highly recommended.

This quaint little tea house offers a wide menu and superb breakfasts. With tables outside too, you can really have a sunshine breakfast. Great too if you have pets. And the food - absolutely faultless and good sized portions.

Myself and my friends were welcomed with big smiles into an Alandins cave of the most wonderful cakes, the scones were amazing , I can not recommend this tea room highly enough

Fantastic cafe heading into Portrush. From very friendly staff to relaxing seating and delicious food all home baked. The range of home made scones, cakes, traybakes, breakfast & lunch menus are excellent. You can also buy to take home. Car parking right outside is great. Looking forward to next visit already.

This is a lovely place next to a popular hotel. It got very busy very quickly so that was a good sign. If you love excellent cakes then this is the place to go.

Went here today definitely will be back. Lovely friendly staff and the most delicious snickers scones. All freshly baked too many lovely things to choose from . Will try lunch menu next time. First class highly recommend.

Leona’s is a lovely tea room with a very good lunch menu and always has a good variety of home made scones and soups. Staff are very friendly and helpful and there’s a basket of toys for the kids

Afternoon tea if that is what you could call it was awful. £12.50 for sub standard sandwiches and tray bakes and cheap coffee. Definitely wont be back.

Heard great reports about this place. Wasn't disappointed. Vast array of cakes, desserts, tray bakes and scones. We had apple pie and lemon meringue - scrumptious and good cappuccinos. Don't be put off by unkempt car park and drab exterior of hotel. Definitely be back

Amazing !!! The scones ,sandwiches and all the sweet things were absolutely delicious . Certainly be back again !

Went here to meet up with friends.Had assortment of scones with teas and coffee. All freshly baked and everyone really enjoyed the choices. Have been before at lunchtime and found the food good and staff are friendly. Will try and call any time we are up at the port. Good you can park with plenty of space.

Visited here with my parents for lunch- and what can i say?! - excellent as always!! The cakes are to die for-especially the victorian sponge. Will definitely visit again. Great establishment, great staff and most importantly; GREAT FOOD! 10/10, well done lynne and the girls!

recently I visited here for a bite of lunch with my parents.i ordered a ham and cheese toasted wrap which was just ok it wasn't worth the price of it.my parents enjoyed theres.overall I prefer dora's tea room just up the road a bit from Leona's.the staff were ok in Leona's.

Las mejores tiendas de café son aquellos que lo recomendaron unos amigos. Alojarse en Portstewart durante la semana, nos aconsejaron que no lo pierdas. Buenos consejos, de verdad.

Hay una variedad de pasteles recién horneados y bandeja de pastas (que se pueden adquirir para llevar también). No se desanime por el aparcamiento o el mal cuidado bastante sosa que su adjunto. Sin duda merece la pena una visita. Aunque la variedad de tortas son difíciles de resistir, también tienen una buena variedad de sándwiches, calientes, etc.

We stay in Blair's Caravan park every June, we always went to leona's for Brunch, the food is great, all homemade by Leona, and we actually got to know Leona herself, very nice lady, staff very friendly, we are going to Blair's Caravan Park again in the middle of June, and will be having brunch here most days. See you all then.

Ambiente cómodo y agradable. Personal agradable y eficiente. Todo lo que quieras en el menú. Optamos por sabroso estofado irlandés, pero aunque la mayoría eran patatas con muy poco más. Té y café y preciosa casa tartas caseras y bandeja de pastas. Yo realmente tenía que limitar mi Pastel como yo estaba en el cielo. Creo que la próxima vez tendré té o café y un montón de pasteles y comprar algunos para llevar a casa. No tengo vergüenza cuando se trata de tartas y bollos para morirse.

Went here on Monday with my daughter. Staff very pleasant and tea room laid out well and was inviting. Looked at the menu and ordered afternoon tea for 2 but we were told afternoon tea needed to be booked in advance (the waitress did check this with the kitchen staff but came back and told us it needed to be pre booked). I feel if this is the case it shouldn't be on the menu you are given to order from. However we then ordered a prawn salad each and these were delicious. This was my first visit and I will most certainly return. You can also purchase items to take away.

Good home cooking, fresh food, traybakes, cakes, tarts jam & chutneys all available to buy at a reasonable price, along side lovely presentation!! A very clean & friendly place with a beautiful view from the windows you can see the sea.I have been here many times & never had a disappointment!!

Stopped here recently for coffee and a scone and they were delicious! The wide selection of buns, cakes and tray bakes is impressive and they all look very very good! Definitely worth a stop by.

beautiful food beautiful décor and gorgeous staff so helpful and pleasantfab paninis and toasted sandwiches definitely note disappointingwell done...........

My parents went here recently for afternoon tea with my aunties and had the best afternoon. They said that the service was brilliant and the food amazing. All served in China Cups big pots of tea and coffee refilled when ever you liked. I am writing this on behalf of my parents as they had a great time and wanted to say thanks.

Super place to pop in for a bowl of soup and fresh bread. A range of creative paninis and wraps also available and several lunch options. The cakes and fresh home baking are amazing. A warm, homely, farmhouse kitchen feel, with great views of the coast. Can see across to Islay and Jura in Scotland on a good day. Brilliant food and reasonable prices.

The freshly made scones in here are a true delight. They have the usual raisin, cherry, and plain, but daily they have specials like white chocolate and raspberry etc etc. The staff are attentive and polite. Love this wee piece of heaven on Earth.

Smpart sea viewall cafe nicely presented good food and coffee staff attentive nice atmosphere part sea view good parking spaces including some for disabled

Stopped here for afternoon tea and something to eat and very pleasant with nice cup of tea and scones will call again

Recently treated to Afternoon Tea by a friend, simply delicious. Table was beautifully set with china teacups and saucers. We were served scones with cream and home-made jam, finger sandwiches with various tasty fillings and various cakes and traybakes, and topped up with copious amount of coffee. Really great experience with attentive staff.

A small cafe with a big choice of food - especially sweets! Good for coffee, lunch and a chat with friends. Easy parking and very accessible.

A very quaint wee restaurant all food is homemade cheesecake is scrumptious and staff very courteous

Applewood cheese and bacon burger , and cheese and mustard pickle sarnies , to die for - my daughters face said it all , she said the burger was delish . We took pieces of red velvet cake home , moist and delicious, massive pieces. We re going back next week for lunch

We visited here while waiting for our room at the inn next door. Fantastic array of choices; the mixed berry scone was outstanding. The inn served these same scones with breakfast--while these were a bit drier they were far superior to the typical b&b scones.

Expected great things from here but most the cakes tasted average or dry.The space felt cramped and with a wheelchair felt intrusive .It was okay but nothing special I haven't returned and I stayed in the hotel next to it :/

Beautiful afternoon tea well filled sandwiches,lovely traybakes very helpful staff .splendid sea views

We had afternoon tea for my sisters hen do last weekend and it was amazing!! The ladies at Leonas were really accommodating! The table looked so lovely. We had vintage teacups and teapots which were so pretty. The sandwiches, buns and scones were also delicious. Thank you!!

Thank you so much to Leona for such a lovely Afternoon tea. We had a lovely afternoon and were made to feel very welcome. There was lots of food for us to enjoy- freshly made scones, sandwiches, pastries, cakes and buns. Leona was so helpful and made everything just perfect! Thank you - a hidden gem!

Leona's is located next to the Magherabuoy hotel. Very convenient for afternoon coffee and cake. Very delicious cakes.

Leona's Tea Room is always a treat to visit. The variety of cakes and tray bakes on offer is so amazing it is difficult to choose what to have. I particular love the daily selection of scones.

Friendly, helpful staff and lovely home made food at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for.

Been a couple of years now, most recently last week and it's lovely, great food and many, many cakes all served with a smile, well worth dropping in if you are there.Well worth the trip even if you aren't, brilliant

This is the place to spoil yourself with some super cakes and buns the helpings are great the place is well laid out and the staff very helpful. Well worth a visit

I took my Mother for afternoon tea the other Thursday to help celebrate her 80th Birthday. All I can say is "Perfect" Best Afternoon tea I have can safely say we have ever had. Superb selection of fresh sandwiches and traybakes on offer. As for the service, just excellent, welcoming and helpful. The setting is just excellent and so relaxed. Now for the "piece de resistance", I had booked mentioning it was my Mother's birthday, so when the two ladies who served us sidled out with a brownie with a candle singing Happy Birthday, my mother's day was made. I'll be back, and I can recommend without hesitation.

This is a hidden treasure! Our waitress was wonderful and I wish I had got her name to give her a special mention. I had a salad which rivals the best of the best, however my husband had a Panini with bacon which he said was mediocre with very fatty bacon, so he was lass then impressed. However the tray bakes are wonderful and made up for the less than impressive Panini. All in all this is a wonderful find for us and we will be back very soon. I wish this eaterie well, with a little attention to the use of fatty bacon!!!!

Was invited to join some friends for afternoon tea here last week & loved the whole experience. Lovely, friendly atmosphere & an amazing array of freshly made sandwiches with not your run of the mill fillings, delicious home made scones with cream/ jam & my favourite yummy tray bakes. I loved the presentation tablecloths, cake stands, china crockery & old fashioned tea pots which despite being huge we had refilled at least once by staff who couldn't have been anymore attentive. We were seated at a window table with amazing views over Portrush. If you're in the area a visit to these tea rooms should definitely be on your list. I can't wait to come back again to sample some of the amazing cakes on display!!! Superb value too!!

I. Was treated for Christmas to afternoon tea. It was a lovely experience. Cafe was very comfortable and warm. Scones were served with butter,jam and cream. Then lovely well filled choice of sandwiches, and an array of beautiful pastries. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Have visited here on a number of occasions and the food and service have always been excellent.Lovely home cooked fresh food at a reasonable price with friendly staffNever tire of returning here.It can be very busy in the summer tourist season

Excellent food, service and Staff! A great menu from scones to full Ulster Fry Beakfasts. There is free WIFI and relaxing background music. We arrived as strangers and left as friends!

My wife and i have become regular visitors to Leonas we always find the staff friendly and helpful food excellent and always fresh very reasonably priced would recommend it to anyone well worth a visit

Leona's is a major transformation of the previous coffee shop on this site. We were nearly caught out as they do not take credit cards but, otherwise, our visit was 5-star all round.We were warmly welcomed and presented with the extensive menu shortly after we sat down. The decor is modern and of good quality - nothing tacky here. Tables have linen tablecloths and the crockery is of a good quality.Tables are cleared as soon as they are vacated. Staff are excellent.We just had coffee and scones. These were delicious as were the jam and chutney which we had as accompaniments.The toilets were very clean and presentable.This is undoubtedly one of Northern Ireland's best coffee shops - if not the best. Others could learn from their attention to quality in every aspect of the business.

Had a fantastic lunch this week in Leona's, Celery and apple soup was lovely! Went back today and had a beetroot and cheese scone, loved it and I don't even like beetroot! Friendly service and reasonably priced

Food not always the most fresh and over priced for what one gets..... Beware!I certainly will not be rushing back

Lovely tea time treat . Great variety of sandwiches , cakes and traybakes.Staff very attentive.Nice friendly atmosphere .

When we are in Portrush we always call at Leona s. It was just average. I ordered a wrap and a soup for my hubby. The lady who made it didn't read the order properly as she made a painini which hadn't the beetroot chutney as part of the filling. The girl who took the order apologised for the lady not making it correctly. It was just ok no effort put into it. Food looks good but service was lacking thanks anyway

Had lunch he today, soup was lovely. Desserts good too. Good value. Would definitely return. We also bought home baked goods and jam to take home.

Well worth a visit when going to Portrush. Stop off at the Maggersbuoy Hotel to stay and enjoy a scone at the cafe in the grounds.

Would definitely recommend the Afternoon Tea at Leona's Tea Room! The service was amazing and almost had a private dining experience. Beautifully prepared cakes and scones!

If you are ever in the area of Portrush, you must stop for scones, pastries or if you are hungry "tea for two" at the beautiful tea room at the Magherabuoy Hotel. We could have eaten every meal there! and gained a few pounds for sure. Their home baking is delicious. Thanks!

Have just finished afternoon tea for two in Leona's. Absolutely fabulous. Table was laid for us when we arrived, and everything was beautifully presented. Every morsel was delightful, and the service could not be better. A real treat. Well done Leona's.

just lovely home baked tasties giving the invitation for locals and holiday makers to enjoy a comfortable period of time out

Popped in for morning tea with a colleague and really enjoyed the freshly prepared scones with butter, jam and whipped cream. What a treat to have tea served in a nice porcelain pot. Plenty of tempting goodies on display so a return visit is going to happen sooner rather than later. Unlike other places at this time of year, there are no parking problems at Leona's and prices are very reasonable indeed.

Irish stew is lovely and so are the scones cream and jam and lovely cup of tea, very friendly staff, Panini sandwich was very nice as well and lovely clean place

Treated my mum to afternoon tea here. It was everything I could've hoped for. A range of sandwiches on white and brown bread. All beautiful but especially the ham, cheese and cranberry chutney. The scones (mars bar and apple, pear and date) were amazing too. The fresh cream cakes and tray bakes were all delicious and so much choice. The table was beautifully set with fine bone China and silver cutlery. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive and kept us topped up with fresh tea. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The rest of the menu looked very appetizing too.A lovely afternoon with beautiful food and surroundings. Will definitely be back. Intend to take family there next time they visit. A little gem on the North Coast.

Terrific! I have watched it grow over recent years, and it is obviously a local favorite. Great baked goods. A very nice

Called at Leona's for afternoon tea with my mum and sister today. The food was fantastic, a great selection of tasty treats! The friendly staff also couldn't do enough for us. We will most definitely be back, highly recommended!! :-)

Love wee visit to Leonas fresh scones cream and jam yummy and you can buy some traybakes or a cake to bring home

Have to say one off the best lunches i have had. I went to leonas the day of the north west 200. The atmosphere in the tea room was electric with people coming and going. It was very busy but the staff still had time to speak to everyone and made sure everyone was ok. The food was deliocious and was quick.. it is ideal to meet up with girl friends for afternoon tea.. Cant wait to go back and have more lovely cakes.

Well, where to start. I'm, ashamed to say I've coming to Leonas for a fair few years, and I've never reviewed it. Call me selfish? Maybe. Now I'm righting that. First off, you can park. That's a bonus in Portrush, although to be honest when I was around a couple of weeks ago I walked; because I needed the exercise. But when I have elderly relatives with me, parking is a winner.The place, a mix of tables and chairs, and low sofas with tables. Food is either in a display cabinet (cream things) or on the counter. You sit and there is table service. you can also get a carryout facility - a blessing when you are on your own like me, or fancy something for the freezer. Things I have had:Baked potato: Baked in an oven - crispy skin with tuna, onion and salad- was gorgeousCoffee: very goodHerbal tea: decent selection and served really hot so it gets to infuse properlyTraybakes: the flakey biscuits and shortbread are good enough for me to carry a couple of packets homeIrish stew: not the first time I've taken this as a carryout..... to heat at home.Scones aren't my thing but I've sat with others who have demolished pear and pistachio, fruit, cheese, all sorts.... you get butter, jam and cream,I'll confess, I have gazed at the big cakes that you buy per slice, but I've never given in, I might yet.Everything is homemade, and is gorgeous.Staff?A warm welcome for everyone, and if you are back you are recognised and welcomed again. When I was there last it was so busy I offered my table to share with a group of folk... turns out they had been coming as long as I had!

We arrived at a busy Leona's Tearoom to our beautifully set up table awaiting us with fine china, freshly baked scones (4 different varieties), sandwhiches (also 4 varieties), traybakes and lots of tea and Coffee. Everything we needed was there on the table - fresh cream, jam, milk, sugar etc. The staff were so helpful, checking regularly that we had everything we needed. All the food was excellent, the little cream cakes and traybakes were delicious. Pre-booking is a good idea as it is a busy little tea room. Also well worth the money at £9 per head! Can't wait to go back x

my wife and myself stayed at the magheraboy a few weeks ago and visited the adjoining tearoom, on entering you were greeted by a friendly girl who showed us to a table and explained the specials, but I could not keep my eyes off the fabulous display off homemade cakes, tray bakes and scones, the mango and raspberry scone which I choose , was massive and was served with butter , jam and cream.... The scone itself was packed full of fruit , by far the best scone I've ever tasted..... Staff sooo friendly and professional. "I'm in love with Leonas"

Came here today with my daughter & husband for a cup of tea & cake as it was my 50th Birthday. The service & friendly staff was lovely & the variety of food especially the cakes was amazing. This was our 1st time but we will be back.

Absolutely ,amazing afternoon tea. Freshly made, delicious sandwiches, selection of homemade , jam and cream scones, tray bakes , cream cakes and freshly brewed tea and coffee in abundance , served in fine bone china, exceptional personal service and prosecco on request, highly recommended and exceptional value.

If you're looking for a warm, friendly welcome, a great menu and the best selection of scones, cakes and tray bakes this is the place to come. Everything is spotless, dishes are very generous and prepared with attention to detail. The staff are lovely and we will be back again..... Very soon, Loved it!!

When we arrive at the door a lovely warm welcome the waitress explained the days. Specials and gave us plenty of time to make our minds up prompt service and a great homely atmosphere if you have time a great place to chill out and relax.

This tea room and Bakery are excellent, the cakes and pastry are to die for. Very pleasant ambience, service and food also very good. Scones are big and fresh. Enjoy.

Had the pleasure of experiencing afternoon tea WOW! Fabulous choice of scones so fresh and tasty, wide range of finger sandwiches but my favourite was the cakes and tray bakes, have a sweet tooth so found them all irrestible! Staff couldn't do enough very friendly had a big pot of tea and a pot of hot water but asked if we would like a top up. Can't wait to go back :)

This tea room is attached to the hotel. The staff were excellent and the array of fresh baked goodies was spectacular. Really spoiled for choice.

Service and food both excellent. We had coffee and a scone. The scones were of good size and very tasty. We also bought a coffee cake to take home. The two people who served us could not do enough for you.

It's a bit out of the way situated at the Magheraboy House Hotel, but please do make the effort to go. You will thoroughly enjoy it. Especially for morning coffee and scones, it's by far the best. The waitresses are just so friendly and the food so good. Everything is home baked and it shows. Great for disabled access too, with really easy parking at the door.

lovely little tea room just outside Portrush. the cakes and scones are simply delicious, the only reason for the average grade was the price. I feel there is similar tea rooms offering the same delicious cakes in the area at a more competitive price. otherwise a very nice place to stop for a wee cuppa tea

My partner, baby daughter and I visited thus little tea room in early August and were impressed overall with the service and food. After a nice lunch of wraps and salad, we decided to have a traybake each but worked it out cheaper to buy a packet of traybakes (pk of 5) than it was to buy one each. Granted the traybakes in the pack were smaller but to be honest they were just enough to satisfy the need for something sweet after lunch! We lifted the pack of 5 and had them with our tea. At the end of the meal we went to pay the bill and explained to the staff what we had done. The staff didn't even comment on this and just added it to the bill! The only down side to this little cafe was that they don't accept card payments and I had to walk right through the hotel including the bar and unused rooms which were freezing and smelled old and stale to pay in reception! Overall though this was a nice experience and i have since gone back with my family that were visiting from Carrickfergus.

I love this place! It's great value and child friendly! Meet here often for coffee, lunch and too many beautiful buns with friends! The girls are friendly and so accommodating! Parking available right at the door which is so handy especially in a town that doesn't have great parking options! They have recently extended their menu choices too which is an excuse to visit more often!! Great value!

What a beautiful place the service and food was first class would definitely call again if in the area
