McCooey's in Newry and Mourne

The food was lovely. However, it was not worth the price, and the staff were slow

Love going here for a breakfast bap definitely nicest coffee in Newry. Do miss sitting in but have no bother ordering at hatch and eating it in my car.

Sorry to see Mc Cooeys in Newry Closed for a Sit down breakfast went there for one of their great meals, and found that you can only get served through a hatch. Shame,, it was a really nice wonderful restaurant to dine in. I wish them all the best in the future. I guess that we'll have to find another place to go for our breakfast

Possibly the most customer friendly cafe I have ever been to!! If you want insults they are free 😂 Food is always yummy and the coffee always spot on!!

Hands down the best place in newry for a breakfast bap and a cuppa 10/10

Call to Mc Cooeys this morning for our usual Breakfast treat, . So Sad to find it all locked up, was really looking forward to the big breakfast, Myself and my family Had to go to the restaurant in the Buttercrane, and it was not a patch on Mc Cooeys. Sad to see it closed. @09:00.

Great spot for food. Best sausage and bacon soda you'll get anywhere and the pancakes were also great.

Lady was lovely and the breakfast bap is massive 10/10

Great craic from Leanne and the most delicious breakfast bap I've had in ages. Worth paying a visit if your near Newry and hungry! Excellent flatwhite too.

Love Leanne and the chips are to dead for it was handy when I was a member in the candle shop next door

Absolutely beautiful, 1st class food, 1st class service

We nipped in to get a quick breakfast to cure the hanger. Leanne was on her own with plenty of customers to serve. The service was fast and fantastic. The breakfast was fancy hotel breakfast quality. Couldnt fault a thing!! Can't wait to go back..nicest breakfast ever!!

This is a first for me. A Wu flu review at a distance; so I didn’t actually go in the door of this cafe, nor did I choose the foodie goodies, nor can I comment on the prices as I don’t know them either. I’ll explain: we are locked down at home and we can’t go out. So a week or so ago, knowing our first world plight, two of our friends arrived at our door with two cappuccinos from this business and stood well back from our front door (other friends sent us flowers). The lady owner of this place has maintained food & coffee service six days a week on her own (not Sunday) all over lockdown from a serving hatch. Fair play to her. I wasn’t going to do a review just on two cappuccinos even though they were very good cappuccinos. I’d gone to this cafe a few times over the years but it was now long ago. Today changed things when our friends arrived once more with two cappuccinos and two sausage rolls and stood well back. Now I’m fussy about sausage rolls (and sausages). I’m conscious that those with less scruples know they can get away with very cheap, fatty ‘meat’ and cheap fat laden anaemic looking barely cooked pastry. If you are local and you want to try cheap to make (but not cheap to buy) industrially made sausage rolls there’s choices down hill street. So back to this place. I was sceptical about the quality of sausage rolls but my scepticism was totally misplaced. They were delicious. The sausage meat did not taste at all cheap nor fatty. We heated them and the aroma was lovely but I actually think they taste great cold because they aren’t greasy - just like excellent Melton Mowbray pork pies. The spice kick was about right - these rolls really have great taste - and the best surprise of all our friends said that the owner makes them herself and together with minced pork she had added chorizo, goats cheese and jalapeño. This is what happens when an astute business concentrates on quality food products first on what they are making to sell, rather than simply being only interested in maximising profit regardless by making food as cheap as possible while staying legal. The sausage roll pastry too was delicious. It was light and golden. flavoursome and moreish. So we’ve become instant fans. The owner usually has a blackboard out front with a joke or an acerbic comment and she sure has a healthy, cheeky sense of humour - her observation style is more akin to Chrissy T eigen than Plato

After being recommend this place by the people of newry I decided to give it a try, well I was very pleased with the experience it was great part from the big crumps in my soup. The coffee was 5* and the staff are really nice. Very cheap and cheerful and great place to bring the fam

Operating from a hole in the wall carry out during pandemic it was quite busy. Closing at 4pm I just made it.I ordered an iced latte with hazelnut flavour and a sausage roll.The coffee was really nice as was the sausage roll.At £4.80 it was fair value and filled the pre evening meal hole in my tummy.Recommended.

The place comes with a cute poodle dog to pet! 10/10 would play with Cafe poodles again. Also, the waffles with fruit are a must-buy.

Good breakfast options on the menu & food was great - staff friendly

Great food, great friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere

After reading the reviews, I was keen to try this cafe. We visited at about 3pm on a Saturday. We were able to park opposite and I was surprised by it’s shabby exterior, but we continued in. We ordered and were promptly brought a big pot of tea, great start. My husband enjoyed his Big bap, hence the rating of two, but my Goat’s cheese and beetroot sandwich was awful, consisting of a few crumbs of goat’s cheese and two thick layers of beetroot. Luckily, I like beetroot and I was hungry, so I ate it. I almost think I was in a different place to other reviewers! The service was minimal, staff were sitting around chatting or on their mobiles. It was not a good experience.

A nice place to have a hot meal. Very friendly staff.

It's just ok. Coffee ok. Staff friendly.

Enjoyed as usual good food good Craic couldn't ask for better

Been dying to come to this place for a while, very clean place and love the tables with the pennies stuck on it, I ordered a sausage n egg on granary toast which isn't on the menu but the lovely friendly lady made me it and it was very big so thumbs up there, I will be back here..

Dog friendly so good vibes with a breakfast menu that was both varied and tasty

Decided to visit for a quick breakfast as it was close to the hotel that we just checked out of. An awkward party of 6 people arriving hungry and only up from their beds, staff were really accommodating and food was gorgeous. I recommend The Stack..If I lived in Newry I'd definitely be a new regular!

You have to be there to appreciate the quality of food and service. Second to none in Newry. I was cagey ordering "carrot+coconut" soup, I loved it! Better half had a jacket spud, it arrived with what seemed a meal on its own. Coffee outside and no shortage of crack. Thanks Leeanne. Back soon.

Was at the comedy night on the 27th July and had a fab night. Acts were fab and atmosphere was electric. Will definitely be back again.

Went to the comedy night 27th july was great craic good atmosphere and hilarious. Will deffo be back to try out the food, have to get me one of these frys I keep hearing about 😉

Character and service excellent

Somehow this place had installed itself on my Facebook and I loved the owners posts - typical NI humour ! So when I was passing last week and my belly was growling, a quick detour was needed. 2 cracking Ulster Fry’s and a steaming pot of tea (no oul dishwater here) were demolished ! The plates wouldn’t need a burl in the dishwasher - licked clean they were ! The sausages and black pudding need a special mention (and we were told where to get the BP - wee surprise there !) The staff were great - made two Belfast blow-in’s very welcome and the owner stopped for a chat, telling us about the Comedy night. Two tickets bought and is hotel booked for the end of the month - so get the pan on girls - we’re coming back !

We first called on recommendation, didn't know what we were missing. We have called five times, -should, have,and will be more often -.The girls/staff like the food are unpretentious, they probably think I'm a butter on cheese and mushroom omelettes. Simple reason, I've never made or had one as tasty. What more needs to be said, other than as a reviewer, go there and see for yourself.

Great food and a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely wee cafe. Staff friendly. Food tasty. Great for breakfast and a catch up with friends 👍

Came here today and the Irish breakfast was amazing. Everything was fresh and top quality ingredients. Definitely a must breakfast/brunch if in Newry.

Homely sort of place. Now pet friendly. Usual soup,sandwiches,toasties,etc.etc.

Just had the spicy triple decker it was delicious. Anytime I go here I finish anything. Can't recommend highly enough.

Stopped off here en route to Armagh from Dublin. Very easy to find and parking right next door, the quality of the food was simply outstanding - highest quality and beautifully cooked. Lovely people too.

Always a great feed with friendly staff

I had a coffee and a scone.....both were very nice although i would have liked cream with my scone. Quaint little place, nice for a quick coffee break.

Great Irish stew and coffee, had a really nice bite to eat in mc cooeys on a very cold day the Irish stew soon warmed us up and was delicious and traditional, the coffee was lovely and better than Costa or any place like that and didn't cost the earth! A really homely welcoming wee place which is hard to find these days and the waitress who served us was very friendly x

This is the best cafe for breakfast in newry. Staff are really friendly and you’re made to feel very welcome. Had a fry today which included the best sausages I have ever had. Very reasonably priced too. Well worth a visit

This is a great place to dine in lovely food and the owner and staff are brilliant nothing is a bother

We called at 3.15 Thur 21, after coming home from Belfast. We needed something substantial, I had a delicious and filling omelette (cheese and ham), and my better half had a bacon, sausage, and egg soda. The girl in charge was the best of crack, and we are already talking about our next visit. Macooey's is a gem.

Great place no airs and graces really personable staff very good tasty food always hits the spot great handy location it's a treat for us as family to eat out and looking forward to returning, thanks guys

Great friendly service and quality/variety of food.

Cosy and warm reception from staff, eclectic decor and plenty of choice on the menu. Good breakfast and strong coffee and sure a bit of craic before you go!

Nice food,healthy and hearty.......friendly atmosphere

Fantastic food at affordable prices

Having read bits and pieces of very witty repartee from the owner I called in for a fry. Every place has an off day and, from previous reviews, I’m hoping that my fry offering was indeed a blip. I didn’t want the black or white pudding and usually an alternative is offered - a few mushrooms or another egg perhaps. Not this time but that’s ok too, cafes aren’t under any obligation to offer anything. I was so disappointed with my fry when it came. The small pieces of soda and potato bread were fatty and unappealing and the sausage was burned. Hunger made me eat the soda but the potato bread was awful. I felt as if nobody cared. Poor me. The end.

Love the food.here all the time great atmosphere lovely girls

Great place. Friendly. Great food. Happy days.

Top class spot,great food and great staff. One of the finest establishments in the North. Well worth a visit.

I usually love the food and the fry is a great feed but sometimes the soda is rock hard at the edges

Great fry, great coffee, great craic

Wife and I stopped in for breakfast on way back south after a couple of nights in Belfast. So glad we did stop here, McCooeys food was outstanding and really good value. My NZ wife (very fussy when it comes to coffee, lucky for me less fussy when it comes to men:) said this was best coffee she had on whole Irish trip.

Always a warm welcome with delicious home cooked food super good value. Great location. Lots of available parking. Something for everyone

this is a little hidden treasure,,atmosphere is very friendly,, food is top class. i would really recommend this place to anyone, reasonably priced, down to earth staff with a sense of humour

Visited with my 2 sisters 2wks ago. After following on social media for a long time and talking of visiting we finally got the chance en route to carlingford for a hen party! We all had the "quare and tasty" and I can absolutely confirm it is quare and tasty lol absolutely beautiful! Didn't get a wee selfie as lianne was occupied as Alfie had misbehaved lol Well done all...top marks from 3 tyrone fans :)

Visited here last week with my family for breakfast! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The food was very tasty and great portion sizes. Good value for money too. Will be back in future!

Great selection for breakfast and the staff were a scream. Very reasonably priced. Nice to go somewhere that isn't like a chain of bland coffee shops. I'll be back again. The photo is from the toilet door 😉

I was in McCooey's today with my Mum and little boy for lunch. It was early so the place was quite quiet and we took a seat at the back. We ordered and then my little boy took advantage of the children's books for a story while we waited.

Went here last week with my mum and Partner food delicious and service excellent, like the way this cafe offers healthier options for people trying to be good,not everywhere does, will defo be back keep up the work!:)

I visited this gem of a place for the first time today, and I wasn’t disappointed. The lunch special I chose was smoked bacon and broccoli soup with sandwiches. I wasn’t sure what the soup was like, but it turned out to be delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly, and I will definitely come here again.

We visited after reading all the great reviews here. We weren’t disappointed. The staff are friendly and helpful. I am an awkward eater so ordered off menu and they didn’t bat an eyelid. The serving staff are very friendly and helpful and they serve the best sausages I’ve ever tasted. Our breakfasts arrived quickly and all 3 of us really enjoyed our meals.

Just popped in for a breakfast on the recommendation from friends. It's somewhere where I'd usually not think off. The staff were super friendly and efficient. Went for their large fry.. with 2 eggs.. excellent food quality! Would say the best I've had in the town. Lovely surroundings and brilliant. Staff. Very highly recommended.

Out shopping. We sat outside on a mild day, a waitress came, took our order, and were served promptly. As we are retired, we sat for a while. This was no problem , we were left alone, meeting people on Monaghan St and having a chat. The food and service deserve five stars.

Called in here for breakfast. Have to say the place was busy but we were seated, given a menu and had our ordered taken within 5 minutes. Friendly staff and great customer service, Deli Lites staff should maybe visit here and take note of how customers should be treated!! Well done to all in McCooeys

Visited McCooey’s to sample the famous Irish stew.Wasn’t disappointed.Friendly and efficient staff who made the visit even more memorable. Just the fare for the cold snap! You should try it out.

Had a lovely tasty lunch - good selection on the menu to suit everyone and th prices are good value. Friendly helpful staff ☺

Food preparation lacking. Just not well cooked. Very canteen style. Nice interior and good location. Friendly waitress staff.

Called to mc cooeys with my baby cause he was starving not a bother to Lorraine I had my baby fed in no time. Then I treated myself to the Christmas lunch. Well miss mc c you excelled yourself it was amazeballs. Ps lianne I hope Lorraine and spicey are on 20 quid an hour.

My mum had been telling me about the laughs and great grub in McCooeys so I'd been dying to try it out for a while. My other half is a Galway man, making me a South Armagh exile now living in 'the Freeschtate'. For years, he couldn't understand me until I showed him Lianne's Youtube video of the culchie dictionary. So naturally he wanted to meet the icon herself. Firstly, the place was brilliant- so comfy and warm on a chilly pre-Christmas shopping day. The food was bang-on. Big mugs of tay and huge toasties that my big lad pronounced to be a fine feed indeed. The table was roomy enough for all five of us to sit down and have a cracking feed before we hit the road for the long journey back (for the record, we were still stuffed by the time we got home). Lianne came outside to say cheerio to us as we left- she really is a ticket. I remember her well from the Sacred Heart school bus (44) & she's not changed one bit. We'll be back for sure. I'm bringing more Galwegians next time too.

It was our first visit and it didn't disappoint, I had a toastie which was well packed with thick ham & came with a side salad & coleslaw & hubby had a big bowl of soup with 2 pieces of wheaten. The food was delicious, the service was very quick & the staff were pleasant & friendly. We loved the 10 commandments on the wall. If you're looking a good hearty lunch at a reasonable price, this is the place to go to!

Called in for a well earned break from shopping in Newry. Ordered a small and large fry (Wife had the large. Lolz). Sausages were fantastic - they are indeed the best in Newry. Usually I don’t enjoy slogans etc lashed around the walls. However, this time they were actually funny. Will definitely be back.

It was a while since I was there last so I decided to stop off Saturday mornings for a breakfast .. when I entered there was a few empty seats and I was soon approached by a waitress. The first thing she said was are you here for a breakfast when I said yes she said I'm sorry but there is a bit of a wait this morning 20 to 25 minutes. I was taken back to be honest I have never been to a restaurant before that the inform you there is a delay before you order and to be Doubly honest it was great to be told that . How many times have you sat in a restaurant placed you order and waited and waited on your food wondering when it is coming. Well in mccooeys the are brilliantly up front about it and when I thought of the options of going somewhere else it didn't make sense . Drive down the street look for parking get a table place an order would take longer than the 20 -25 minutes that I would wait her . So I said I would wait I settled down with a newspaper and a coke and in 20 or so minutes I was served the breakfast exactly as I ordered which is an achievement in itself as I'm a bit fussy . Extra toast was no issue even , After eating my fill came time to pay and when I happily handed over the few pounds the staff again apologised for the delay .

Desperately wanting to come on here ranting about this that and the other but they need to up their game in the room-for-complaint stakes. I'm flippin well ragin I have no discourtesy to report, no filthy tables to shake my head at, not even a wrong order to have ruined my day, was tempted to order from my imagination not the menu but heart afeared I'd be told where to shove my pistachio infused dove heart tuile by the wee red head babe that patrols the floors. Determined to return and find any god's given amount of things wrong with this place.

Made my first visit to McCooeys in Newry and was not disappointed. Bright and airy. Staff curteous and helpful. Food is excellent. Will frequent more often!

Called into McCooeys for lunch I have to say when we left we were full , We got triple decker sandwiches which we highly recommend... If your in the area give them a try , It has a homely feel with great food n service

I follow this coffee shop on instagram and face book. It's a good drive away from me. But, it's worth a visit! The craic is mighty. Staff amazing. You gotta visit x

Dear Lianne,I have been an avid follower of your snapchat for a long time and had never popped in to try out your bistro/cafe/scone hub until now. To my dismay, I sat down at a table that was scattered with crumbs like leaves on an autumns day. Tried to ignore this, but then the deal breaker of the day came to light. I ordered the famous triple decker and was expecting big things. Big things I got indeed. I have been to Australia my fair share of times and I know a croc when I taste one. Lianne Mcooey, you will not pull the wool over my eyes/lips. Not to mention the fact that you skipped about the floor with spectacles on, making a mockery of fine dining. Each to their own, but I wouldn't be serving that reptile and calling it a tasty treat. Good riddens,Ben Klock

Seriously anyone who uses social media of any kind should follow this place. Irish hilarity at its finest. If you don’t love the coffee or food you will sure love the hospitality! Good news is that I loved it all. Drove down from belfast to see the place for myself as I’d followed it on social media, or it’s owner to be more precise, was well worth the drive and I reckon we could do with a McCooey’s up in the big smoke :). Service with a smile .... or laugh more like

Called in on a wet afternoon for lunch. Wasn’t disappointed, a nice relaxed atmosphere, very quick and friendly service and lovely food. I went for the thick cut ham & mature cheese toastie along with home made vegetable soup. A very tasty lunch, I left feeling nourished, fortified and ready to brave the rain again!

went into Mccoeys one day after a doctors appointment round the corner, my niece has been talking non-stop about this Lianne mccooey one and i was also gasping for a nice cup of cha, so decided to go in and see what the craic was. really love the 'central perk' sign outside, very creative. Lianne's a very friendly and kind woman, seems like a real irish girl and i love the set-up of the place, the pennies on the table, the seating arrangements an all. Class craic from Lianne and the girls behind the till yolk, and a great cup of tea, also got a few sneaky sausages while i was there, will definitely be back.

Been in here twice for lunch now both times with my boyfriend and honestly the staff are so friendly, the lunch menu is so nice and the hot chocolate is amazing! Going to be going here more often for a cheap, tasty and quick lunch!

Were not very helpful when asked about gluten free, had a coffee anyway and friend had fry she enjoyed.I had a view of the owner cutting up vegetables in the little kitchen the whole time.I think they seek the homely feel but it goes a little far and feels a bit too uncared for.

After hearing great reviews from friends and constantly awaiting the next Snapchat story from Lianne herself for a good laugh. Today I finally wandered into McCooey's for the first time needing to kill an hour waiting on my car to be fixed. Definitely a good shout and I reckon I'll be driving past Costa and Starbucks from now on to get my coffee fix! I'm rarely seen without a coffee and I have to say they make the nicest caramel latte in the town! Even got a second one to take away. Service was fab, extremely friendly and attentive ensuring all was okay. We hadn't realised we had sat at the only table that wasn't set ( being the awkward edgits we are) but the girls didn't mind at all. I had the baked potato special served with fajita chicken and cheese and jaysus it was class! Felt bad not eating the entire thing but sure I had pounded the coffee into me and was full before I knew it! My mum who's a waitress herself joined me and said she would happily visit regularly purely based on Lianne's sense of humour and great service from the other girls. Other businesses should take note and learn from the atmosphere McCooey's offers!

We regularly dine in Mc Cooey's Newry because of the excellent coffee, friendly staff, brilliant atmosphere and delicious food --would highly recommend it.Try it!!

Popped in on a whim on way back from Doctors. Coffee and sausage with toast served in 5minutes impressed with fact that l was also given marmalade friendly staff. Bright and ideally located for shopping will defiantly be back

Been to McCooey's multiple times the Summer and loved it as did my sons. The McCooeys fry is best had in ages.

Fantastic we shop, would highly recommend! Friendly staff, will definitely be back the next time I am in town!

Great food , great service and the Owner is fantastic , just follow them on Facebook and see what your missing !!!

Top quality staff, food and atmosphere! Always have a laugh in the shop and the food is great!!!#pissofffrank

As a loyal snapchat follower, I brought up the idea of goin to McCooeys to my boyfriend when we were in Newry for breakfast & it was so good, we went a second time & he repeatedly thanks me & cant wait to go again! Both times we were served by Amy & she is truly lovely, as are the rest of the staff. Food is reasonably priced & delicious & I love the comfortable atmosphere in the place & seeing how well the girls all get on! I adore the daily McCooey Snapchats & my visits are just perfection & prove that what you see on snapchat isnt just for the camera...they are all as lovely there as they are in person! A must visit if you're in Newry!

Second time here for breakfast and was not one bit disappointed. Had a fry that would have feed a small army. Loved the fact that it is about the food and not all airs and graces. The staff are friendly but not over powering. The service was as quick as you would or should expect from a place that cooks to order remember your not at a fast food takeaway. Have seen a bad review here but can not see why it would get such a review.

Great cafe, we had a fabulous breakfast. Staff are excellent, very friendly and proprietor Leanne is an amazing host.

We love this place very lovely staff and fantastic food.We would recommend this place very clean and tidy of course it's gonna get a bit untidy when it's really busy but very clean other times.

Loved watching Leanne from McCooey's on facebook. Decided to call in for a latte and a muffin.When we called it was 3.50pm on a Wednesday afternoon. We did not realise they close at 4pm.We were made very welcome. Coffee was lovely. Really enjoyed the muffin. Would love to return for a lunch some day. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

This place got top reviews for Newry, sorry to all the great places that have missed out on trade because of this. It was dirty and untidy which I was willing to overlook for the great food!!!!!! There was no good food.......

Recently visited mccooeys we had the soup sandwich and tray bake offer could not fault it ,the food was delicious and there was a great selection of tray bakes to choose from , the staff were very friendly we had great craic with them will definitely be back .

We had to sample this cafe after watching the owners very amusing send ups .nice relaxed atmosphere we enjoyed the food and a chat withe the owner.
