This Review relates to the Portstewart location only - can’t find a separate listing for it on TA Experience as follows: Entered - smoky/ poor ventilation - coming from kitchen area Noisy - lots of noise (plates etc) from open kitchen area competing with the music and people trying to talk over both Cold (arrived 9:30 am - would have expected to be warmer by then) Expensive - but then most things on North Coast are Scones - limited variety. Not fresh. Covered in a sugar glaze. Excuses - sorry we have run out of jam. Went back to kitchen area to ask if had any marmalade instead? No. ‘But you are serving scones and toast’? Response - It’s very busy this time of year. My response - that’s why you plan for it. It should have been a single star. But it’s Christmas

At first glance the place looks good but upon ordering the cracks begin to show. The gluten free pancakes listed on the menu don't exist if only in word form. The customer service isn't great with a its your privilege to be eating in such an establishment attitude. The cardboard boxes and wooden cutlery provided are impractical and if offered for the sake of the environment then separate bins should be provided to recycle the pathetic stuff at the very least. Not sure why the place is so busy but I suppose we all need something to post on social media. Lovely location which is what makes the whole thing a real pity

Smallest takeaway cups ever, got two coffees and tray bakes, all served in takeaway boxes and cups, why? We where only sitting outside. Guys you’re charging plenty, a proper cup or larger takeaway cup would make all the difference. Tray-bakes tasted better than they actually looked.

Portstewart cafe - excellent quality of good but marred by the lack of plate and cutlery ! It was provided in a cardboard box with wooden knife and fork (not really adequate to the job of cutting up toast - and I had to deconstruct the box to get at it). Only when leaving did I see people eating from real plates and with metal cutlery! What on Earth had we done to deserve that service? Understandable if it was a takeaway - but it wasn’t. But the quality of the food was good - avocado with chilli and feta cheese. I recommend it but best eaten with the correct utensils!

I visited for a catch up with a friend. On the recommendation of the barista I order the chicken hotpot and a pour over filter. The chicken hotpot was £7 so I expected it to be substantial. It was actually just overly salty chicken soup with fatty bacon in it and very coarse bread. It was very disappointing and definitely not worth £7. The pour over filter coffee was lovely but I literally only got half a cup. All in all, it was disappointing for £10.30. In the current economic climate I will definitely think twice before visiting again.

Me and my partner have been to lost and found a couple of times. Once to the Portstewart place and then in coleraine. The Portstewart experience we had was truly awful. The staff were so rude, obnoxious and very lazy. First the girl came to our table whilst we sat on it and started spraying anti-bacterial spray all over us. Then when we went up to order we were told we couldn’t have eggs and bacon W sourdough instead of what they had on the menu. Bizzare. The tea I had was a herbal that had about 40tsp of dried leaf in it, it tasted like toothpaste. The food is not as they say or advertise themselves to be, it’s not authentic homemade food, it’s crap. They would literally be nothing without Ursa Minor sourdough. Everything else, is not sourced locally so they shouldn’t say they promote that way of being. As for the coleraine place, they have preserved lemons and other vegetables on the shelf giving the look of “homemade, healthy” but in reality we spotted the chef using bottled lemon juice. Fresh lemons aren't hard to juice and put into food. This entire brand is pretentious well off people who employ pretentious students who know nothing about life or real good food or quality ingredients, but they are extremely good at faking it and putting up the aesthetic that they are something that they are not. Highly recommend if your a uptight gentle sir that was born with the silver spoon up their toots and have no taste buds or moral compass :)

Such a pity that the pleasant ambiance and very delicious Swedish almond cake is spoilt by the hipster arrogance of imposing the cafe's choice of milk (full fat milk or "oat milk") on their clientele. You may have heard of the customer always being right .... still, there's always black coffee.

What an exceptional Coffee Shop. As a wheelchair user the staff could not have been more helpful even though they were extremely busy. Coffee such a good flavour. We had a selection of tray bakes that were truly melt in the mouth treats. We will definitely frequent this Coffee Shop on a regular basis and cannot recommended it highly enough.

Visited lost & Found in Portstewart last Friday afternoon for some lunch. Checked the outdoor menu which stated food served until 3.30pm. Went ahead on inside. Started to briefly read the menu at the till as aware from previous visits that you order on arrival yourself at the counter. Was told by the female counter staff that we had 8 minutes to place our order and to take the menus to the table. We did this. Then when we said excuse me to the same member of staff, from our table, that we’d like to order, we were told we had to come back to the till. This made no sense whatsoever. From the moment we stepped in and were told that we had 8 minutes to order should have been the red flag I guess. Friday afternoon, not long till closing, they just didn’t want to be bothered prepping two rounds of food, The two members of staff in the premises had the worst attitude and no ounce of personality to be in the role that they are in. Every thing seemed to be a complete bother. May I also add, the food was very skimp, re portion sizes plus they seem to care more about the presentation than the food itself re the logo branded paper underneath the food. Try attempting to cut sourdough bread on this, not easy unless you want a mouthful of paper. Then when it comes to hot drinks, no sugar or milk provided. Yet again had to approach the till and ask for these to be provided with milk in a paper cup yet another couple had a glass jug of milk on their table (less dishes to wash I guess) and no white sugar at all, had to make do with brown sugar for tea. When asked for refills of hot water we were given a half full glass of this and then when asked for it to be filled up, yet again a whole botheration. Oh and don’t even get me started on the toilet facilities. Dingy to say the least. The premises in portstewart should never have reopened when it did as Lost and Found, previous owner/cafe was far more superior in all ways. Will not be back

Very pleasant servers and good to see tables cleared promptly and wiped down well. Really good tea and the pot gave me just under 2 cups. The soup was absolutely delicious and served with 2 very small pieces of bread. At £5.50 for a cup or soup and 2 bits of bread, I find this somewhat expensive. The loo was out of action.

I have be going to lost and found for the last few years and used to really love it, but it seems to have gone down hill. The portions are skimpy for the price and often they have run out of items. There is very little menu felxibility, having to pay the same price even if you don't want an item (because I am not a meat eater). I don't think I will be going back.

This is truly one of the most disgusting experiences of customer service I have ever experienced. Completely incompetent and ignorant staff who are clueless. In short, my friend wanted a breakfast bap without an egg; apparently it would have ended their whole business model. However, they were quite happy to charge the full amount for part of their menu which had missing food parts. We even asked for toast; no ; apparently that would also be impossible as they only serve set menu; unless they don’t have the ingredients in which case they are happy to charge. Truthfully a disgusting experience where the chief is an ignoramus. Lost for words; businesses like this don’t deserve to be around

After following their page on Instagram I decided to try out their cafe in Coleraine on my Staycation trip. After travelling around Co.Sligo and Co.Donegal. The best part was our sour dough bread and I believe coming from another bakery in Ballycastle. Coffee served in disposable cups no excuse and unable to give tap water! Also toilet facilities were not very clean. Was so disappointed as we made a big effort to visit this cafe.

Lovely decor, beautiful restaurant, great food and value l. Just make sure you keep on top off how quickly they bring you your drink. In the first 15 minutes we did not receive a drink or have our order for food taken. You only have 2 hours of unlimited drinks. Later on in the day I approached the bar because we had been waiting for our drinks for about 20 minutes.. however as I was embarrassed I approached the bar and said we had been waiting for 12 minutes. The bar lady sarcastically replied ‘12 minutes?!’ And I was mortified. On reflection, it’s not brilliant to be waiting for 20 minutes for one drink when the drinks are pre-poured and under a time limit. Did not feel awfully welcome even though I had been looking forward to this day all week.

Popped in for a bite and a coffee, coffee was nice but had the usual look around for sugar (I’m the uncool sugar taker!) They were busy with only one chef in the kitchen and could only order from the menu board (it was Easter Monday, of course you were going to be busy!) kids just wanted sour dough and a sausage, had to order poached eggs with sour dough and a side of sausage, after checking the sausage was dairy free as one of the kids has a dairy allergy, we sat down. The kids were then served burnt sour dough, buttered with a sorry looking skinny wee beef sausage & no egg! The dairy free kid got their food replaced but our food wasn’t great either, Not great impression at all.

We are regular visitors to Lost and Found, coming up at least once a month. The coffee and food are excellent, always an interesting menu and the scuffins (scones/muffins) are amazing! However I must admit I am going off it just a little. I think it might be a victim of its own success as the time it takes to get your coffee and food can sometimes be unacceptable. We were in on Saturday morning and they were fairly busy but not madly busy. We ordered 3 coffees, one eggs Royale, one cake and a scuffin. The eggs came after 10min but no coffees or anything else. My partner had to start eating as it was getting cold but the rest of us were sitting with nothing. The coffees and bakery items didn't come until he had finished his food. I actually had half my coffee drunk before the cakes arrived. Why couldn't everything be brought out together? The people on the next table ordered toast each and it came without their drinks. They didn't get their coffees until they had finished their toast and were not too happy. I appreciate it is very good coffee and takes time to prepare but orders should be better coordinated with the kitchen. My coffee was also rather lukewarm by the time it made its way to the table. Lost and Found is a lovely place, the atmosphere is very special, the staff are beyond polite but the system of food coming out before coffees and having to eat without your drink is just not on. Other independent coffee shops make excellent coffee much quicker. Please sort this out as you are a great place and I want to keep coming to you!

Great wee spot for food all day long. Breakfast and lunch. Nice coffee and homemade looking treats. Limited menu but all really nice. Staff very friendly. Definitely call again

In the main shopping area, this restaurant is an interesting and different twist to the normal high street eatery. Service could be much faster, simple dishes which tasted excellent actually took much too long to arrive. The menu is interesting and different, with plates such as chili con carne with chorizo and tasty open chicken sandwiches.

Quite overpriced, for what you receive. There was nothing wrong with the food but charging £6.75 for a bog standard bap with a sausage and egg is a bit of a stinger.

Lost and Found provides a mouth watering array of menu options and really nice traybakes to chose from. Their traybakes accommodate those who are vegan and those with allergies such as their gluten free signature cake. The only flaw would be their lack of gluten free bread. Although despite that the touches to their dishes give Lost and Found the edge over other coffee shops- such as the addition of sundried tomatoes with poached eggs.

The notion of "artisan" food has become a bit of a cliche....but, wow, this charming cafe is really just that. Beautiful to look at, and flavorful beyond belief. We can't wait to get there during our trips to the North. Last meal was a soup with chicken and vegs, piquant spices, and a killer almond cake. Prices are very reasonable, service is warm and efficient. We come from a real foodie town, Portland, Oregon, and I can't recall having a better lunch back home. Location is nice too...smack in middle of Coleraine shopping. Do not miss this place. The reviewer who complained of food smells is nuts...the aromas are part of the atmosphere...food lovers unite!

Three of us went for a hot drink to warm up on a cold and wet Saturday. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere conducive to good conversation. The prices are reasonable when compared to the large chains and the drinks just as nice. A couple nearby raved about the free range eggs. The general ambience makes this place special.

The coffees are nice and the Swedish almond cake was lovely but the whole cafe REEKS of cooking food. Doesn't the kitchen have proper ventilation fitted? It was unbearable downstairs as well as being incredibly warm. Ruined what would have been a pleasant experience.

We decided to have lunch at Lost & Found, and were visiting from England. Wow what a choice; brilliant meal of Paprica Chicken followed by date and cinnamon scuffin and a beautiful latte. Three of us dined and we all thoroughly enjoyed a most exceptional meal. Will definitely come again.

Very quirky and hipster vibe to this place. For some can be off putting but staff are warm and very welcoming. Filter was lovely and the buns so tasty, I am already considering the 40 mile drive for another chocolate chip shortcake

Visited today with friends for brunch. Lovely restaurant and staff food was beautiful. We were disappointed as there was no gluten free option so one of our friends had to have poached eggs on their own served in a bowl. We were told we would be charged same price as eggs served with bread! One staff member started to explain about sourdough and how it is suitable for gluten free diets however as it was wheat based our friend could not chance this. Surely it is possible to provide gluten free pancakes/bread in a coffee shop as many do. Staff should not be advising sourdough bread is suitable for gluten free diets as they do not know medical reasons as why some clients have to stick to strict gluten free food.

Called in for a take out coffee. After it had been paid for, I was informed it would be 10mins. I remonstrated that it would have been useful to know before paying. So sat for probably the ten minutes plus some where upon we were given pretty measly sized cups.The americano I bought was lacking in flavour, body and strength.The combination of all these prompted me to return straight away leaving the offending cup and ask for a refund.Having explained all of these issues the member of staff was quite condescending.He insisted the beans used were of a higher quality than normal and I did not'Understand the flavour'. He went on to suggest I have a filter instead!I am not a coffee snob but do know what to expect and this was sub par.Having read through some reviews here I was surprised by how many mentionedthe good coffee. Perhaps it was just not made correctly this time.They certainly don't believe in the customer being right.

In particular the sour dough bread was incredible!Really nice filter coffee too and they serve breakfast till 3:30 in the afternoon which is always good!

Had the Italian egg. Was very tasty lots of flavours. Not usually a fan if poached eggs but gave it a go. Was a breakfast item but still found I was quite hungry after it. Ended up ordering a brownie which was very nice. Excellent fancy breakfast and the service was 100% with the girl offering to bring it down to me. Will defo call back.

We stopped in Coleraine specifically to go to Lost and Found as it had been recommended to us. We weren't disappointed. We had brunch at about 11. The menu is small and simple but delicious. I had eggs benedict on possibly the most delicious sourdough bread I've ever eaten. My husband had poached eggs on toast with grilled chorizo. Service was great, atmosphere was relaxed and chilled and food and coffee superb. Nom!

This place was so good we went back twice in one day. I had the Coronation chicken on sourdough bread for lunch and it was exceptional. Everything seems to be made on the premises. Great ambience, lovely service, a great range of coffees. Sophie was able to tell us the reason for the name, where the tables had been sourced (chemistry benches from UCD) all the staff were very friendly, enthusiastic and engaging. This will be a destination now when in Coleraine Lost and Found should be very proud of what they have achieved and have really raised the bar.

My wife and I had joined the Healing on the Streets team outside the Town Hall on what turned out to be a wet and chilly morning, so we were glad to be directed to this café where we found a seat upstairs on a shared trestle table. We ordered the soup of the day and a hot chocolate each to warm up, and couldn't resist the Swedish Almond tart. We especially enjoyed the soup!

Located in the centre of Coleraine, this coffee shop is worth looking out.We had coffees, scone and Swedish Almond Tart. The eats were excellent and couldn't fault. Especially the Almond Tart. Rich and creamy.Not the cheapest place in town but good quality for the money.Interior decor a bit alternative and did remind me of a few places in the Baltic.Enjoy!

I've visited Lost & Found several times and although it is slightly more pricy than your average coffee shop in Coleraine, the quality of the food and the knowledge of the baristas is like no other. The coffee menu changes regularly and the baristas always know about the origin and types of coffee they serve which is fantastic. The baked goods which I believe are made in-house by an independent baker are amazing and the bread is delicious. Will definitely be back :)

Was a good meal, place was extremely busy. Staff where friendly. I thought it was slightly overpriced, and although I enjoyed my meal, I probably won't rush back. I've no real complaints, I just think it's very overhyped.

We spent one night at the Port Hotel as we were visiting family in the area and heading to the Giant's Causeway. Location is good, not a far drive from the Causeway with decent restaurants nearby. Staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were friendly. The beds unfortunately were very uncomfortable.. lumpy and badly in need of updating. The hotel vibe is cute and quaint, okay for one night, but wouldn't spend a second night.
