Morelli's in Coleraine

I go every Sunday for ice cream for my brother who is disabled and myself. The staff are so helpful. Thank you

Ice cream as always is good but food seemed mediocre at best. Soup and wheaten bread- watery vegetables, clearly fired together and no flavour whatsoever. I ordered a waffle and a scoop and was a little disappointed to find it was pre prepared and fired in the microwave. Surely it wouldn't take too much effort to make on spot. Morellis will always attract the masses come rain hail or shine for their ice cream but I will not be queueing up for anything else on their menu.

Absolutely gorgeous it has to be the best ice cream in the country 😉

We stopped here after driving some of the Causeway Coastal Route and the ice cream was delicious! There were plenty of flavours to choose from (making it very hard to pick!) and they were really reasonably priced. The view out of the window was of the sea too so that was an added, beautiful bonus. Would definitely recommend a stop here, especially if you are doing the Coastal Road.

Loved my ice cream. I had a medium hazelnut scoop in a cone which was huge. I also had a cappuccino. No complaints about what we had, but the service was very odd to say the least. We were served at the counter and it really wasn't clear whether we would get a table or not as it was so busy. I felt we should have been able to find a table first then get served. Caused stress that was unnecessary.

I travel a lot that day. Went in Morelli's icream and got a lovely soup. The kitchen was closed but the guy brought a lovely soup. Well done to you. Incredible customer service.

Always pop in for an ice cream when in Port... But got an absolute beast of a slab of cheesecake today... Was so good... Banoffee pie was lovely too

Morelli's have been serving their customer with quality food for generations. Long may it continue.

Overcrowded, tables not cleaned quick enough for new guests to sit. Guy at the counter that served us ice cream had a cut on his finger with blood dripping down. I mentioned it and he just wiped it and continued. My father in law's cone had blood on it. He provided a new one, however, I felt "icky" eating bout cones and inspected the kids one to make sure no blood was on it. Afterwards, he didn't even put a band aid / plaster. I'm sure this is against some kind of regulation, but he was young and should have been better trained.

Got as long as I can remember, Morelli’s has always been one of the stars among ice-cream parlours.

I discovered a long human hair in my icecream cone and I would not recommend dining here.

Ice-cream was beautiful. The place was super busy but that didn't take away from our experience. Kids loved it too.

Great ice cream right on the sea front. Fab selection of flavours

Called into the Morellis To Go shop a few weeks ago with my family and was blown away by the friendly welcome we received! Obviously well trained staff and the BEST ice-cream in Northern Ireland 😋

Nice big establishment. Clean & lovely views.

A classic place to grab a nice and delicious Sunday! Made me feel like a kid again!

Excellent ice cream, very enjoyable meals, in bright spacious family friendly surroundings, all provided by pleasant helpful staff. The sea view is an extra bonus.

Food is great, when you can get it. No hot food after 5 PM, the main time you would want it. On a previous visit the hot food had stopped at 3 PM, and another time they had stopped making pizza.

Absolutely delicious peppered chicken burger and chips. Followed by a take out ice cream. Morellis is my go to for a treat on the promenade. Highly recommend.

Update: it's still the best place for ice cream! We have to take the kids here for an ice cream sundae every year now (when we visit the North West coast of Ireland) it's become a family tradition :) nowhere else will do, the ice cream is delicious and there are a wide variety of flavours.

Best ice cream in the north. Update seven years later, still the best ice cream in the north.

Tables was dirty but in there defence it was extremely busy and would have been hard to keep up, whipped ice-cream was perfect

My wife and I came here for an ice cream Sunday. It was delicious and we were able to enjoy it with a fantastic view of the sea.

Great choice of delicious ice-cream

Their ice cream is famous. Great. Collection.

Great ice cream though think it's a little over priced

Great ice cream. Varied menu Staff happy to help.

Visited yesterday. Knickerbocker glory was really lovely, expensive at 10.00 but well worth the money

My husband and I went for salads yesterday at lunchtime and were very disappointed with them. The cold meat salad had been increased in price by £2 from last year and was a shadow of its former self. Gone were the cheese, peppers, sweetcorn, pasta salad, tomato, coleslaw, red onion and slice of wheaten bread and instead, just a bed of lettuce leaves served in a soup bowl rather than a plate with the chicken pieces, sliced ham and finely chopped pepperoni. The prawn salad has been removed from the menu and instead, i had a super salad. This was equally disappointing, no wheaten bread but poached egg on top of avocado, raspberries, dried apricots, dust of nuts and there were again just lettuce leaves below. We had really enjoyed Morelli's salads in the past but £24 for this offering will prevent us trying again.

Stopped for ice cream along the promenade all good 👍

It was my first time in NI so I didn't really understand the accent but the lady was really nice and helped me she also tripped what I was ordering and there Is a variety of things for people

We love our Morellis Posh Fry. Never disappoints. Staff very friendly.

Great location and nice atmosphere whether taking a break and a snack inside ot outside.

Two scoop tub is way more than enough. Luvly jubly. Correction, 3, 2, 1 is the way to go.

This was the worst breakfast on our vacation. I got the short stack of pancakes. They were way way overcooked/dried out. The maple "flavored" syrup was not a plus. The back bacon was slightly burnt, yet the best part of the meal. I would not recommend this place. Being an American, I thought it was odd that you had to order at the counter with no wait staff other than food runners who don't ask you how you food is, so no real system to get your food remade. We only went here because the line at Awaken was on the long side. In hindsight I wish we would have waited for a table at Awaken.

Called here for an ice cream sundae and what a selection to choose from! I had strawberry wonder and my partner a nuts galore. Very filling but delicious.

Huge selection of flavours,it was difficult to choose

We were served at the take away icecream counter, we ordered 3 wippy ice creams the girl serving us gave them to us wrapped in chip paper, we went to open them to give out and the ones came away from the icecream and the cones were broken. We stood there to ask for some help in getting them off the paper for a good 10 mins all the staff saw us and ignored us eventually a young man came never spoke just made 3 fresh one which tells me she knew what they were like … won’t be going back dreadfull service

great views. classic diner vibes. and amazingly good ice cream! (the banoffee wasnt really good though)

Fantastic range of flavours and friendly service. A must have treat when you visit the north coast.

Absolutely brilliant, ice creams lived up to the morelli name! Well worth a visit

A bit expensive sugar free vanilla not like ice cream at all!

Very unique. Lovely stuff and staff

Introducing grandchildren to their ice cream

the food is really nice then you get your sweet which is lots of different ways you can have ice cream, and it's all yummy

Famous Italian ices, but expensive. Takeaway ices more reasonable. Coffee is good too and food reasonably priced, some Italian themed dishes.

Great tasting beautiful Italian ice cream in Ireland a flavour for every taste. I am sure everyone can find their favourites here. Beware of waiting a while it's a popular place for an ice cream but some things in life are worth waiting for.

Main shop was busy, so we popped into the ice cream shop. Very pleasant

Great cafe in Portstewart - happy staff & good food. Can get very busy though. Last time I went, I ordered a fry with no egg and it came within 5 minutes! Great service.

First rate ice cream and excellent service. I go around once a year when at the North Coast and no matter how busy it looks, I've never had an issue getting a table. The hot fudge sundae is my new go to after 40 years of knickerbocker glories. Both are delish 😋

We had ice creams, they have a wide range of flavours and the portions are generous.

Food, atmosphere and staff all excellent. The ice cream is widely regarded, you have to pay them a visit.

Wonderful choice of ice-cream flavours available, all delicious. The toasted specials and desserts were nicely presented and filling. Service isn’t the fastest both the wait was worthwhile, except for the vegetable soup. That was it water with lumps of veg thrown in. The place was bright, welcoming and the staff were cheerful.

Ten pounds for an ice-cream which really didn't have anything majorly special about it. Nice place to sit and chat but far too expensive.

The litter blithely discarded by the other patrons put a bit of a blight on our experience. How can people be so oblivious and thoughtless in such a beautiful setting. Signed, Disgusted of Dervock.

Best ice cream in the world love it

Normally, I would rate it 3 or 4 stars. However, today, whenever I got cheesecake, the cream on top was definitely off. To be honest, I'm very disappointed because I normally look forward to a treat here. The second photo shows where I scraped off the out of date cream.

Some of the nicest ice cream, with helpful friendly staff.

Really nice family friendly cafe'

coffees were bit cold can't understand why places can't do a warm drink food was good had pie and ice cream good but had to keep coat on

We were in Morelli's on Dec 26. Can't speak highly enough of our experience. Food was quick, good standard. It was busy and tables were cleaned immediately. It was impressive! Big shout out to everyone who worked that day!

Packed as always but good food

Toast and scrambled eggs. Coffee ☕ good start to the day

12 quid for a fish supper, batter was ok fish was dry, was gona have chicken burger but for £14 I don't think so, prices are shocking, I've had better from Gareth's chippy, staff were nice and the place is also nice, real shame, I know it's in a nice location but come on!

Great cones for take away. Generous portions. Some really nosey old goats in licking ice cream and giving us the once over whist ordering....grrrrrr...lick off!

Dirty cups and cutlery cold coffee and bad service. After explaining to staff a dirty cup and fork Turned there back and give a other cup and walked away. Never be Back.

Called in for coffee and scone. Handed three staff four dirty knives with jam on them from the cutlery drawer. Also witnessed another customer returning a dirty cup. At no time did staff apologise. Morelli's definitely isn't what it used to be. Won't be back. More to do with how the staff behaved.

Absolutely wonderful ice cream. Really delicious, we enjoyed a wide range of ice creams. Lovely view of the sea. Very polite staff.

This is a must stop for the lovers of ice cream.

We all know Morelli's is the go to place in Portstewart for ice cream. But it wasn't icecream I was looking for last Sunday nite, we had been out with the dogs and got caught in one of our lovely Northern Irish monsoons, so we were all soaked to the skin and badly needing a caffeine hit. I couldn't believe as we approached Morelli's that they were still open and more amazingly there was a parking space right out the front, the coffee God was definitely smiling on us. We didn't realise at the time that the staff were starting to close the place up for the night. We had coffees, hot food and sticky buns, the staff couldn't do enough for us, now this could have been because they wanted to go home, but i don't think so. I have to give the staff a 10 out of 10 for effort and their friendly attitude esp after being on their feet all day.. Thanks folks, I really appreciated it..

What's not to like, it's ice cream

Great food and service and view of the sea

It que took forever the 2 hot chocolates took even longer to make, they were amazing but worth the wait or not, I'm not sure

Fast service, amazing breakfast and the ice cream is top!

An institution! The Knickerbocker Glory takes me straight back to my childhood.

In Questo take away si mangia bene abbiamo ordinato fish e chips e abbiamo preso delle pizze. Una Margherita e una 5 stelle. Le pizze erano buonissime e il pizzaiolo è Napoletano e con questo ho detto tutto. Il servizio è stato veloce. Insomma tutto perfetto meritano più di 5 stelle.

I like it. It is a nice place and delicious ice cream and many other options. Staff are great.

Most beautiful place to visit especially with kids the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are a credit to the establishment which is most important to any successful business Have no doubt I’ll be back again and again Top Class place Top Class Food Top Class Staff

A truly horrendous experience. My order was lost when I asked why it was taking so long. I was then short changed in the refund. The staff were clueless. I will never be back.

Friendly service, lovely isecream.

I have been coming to Portstewart for holidays on and off for the past 13 years and Morellis is THEE best ice cream! They do unreal sundaes and the best Ulster fry!

Met my friend for lunch today, Tuesday. We both had the vegetable soup with a sandwich and were both bitterly disappointed. The soup was mainly water, large pieces of carrot, leek and onions. It was tasteless and we had to hold the bowl at an angle to drink the water. The sandwich was simply one slice of pan bread with a meagre filling. This cost £14, too expensive for the poor quality. Will not be recommending this establishment to anyone..

Delicious flavours,and good service.

Lovely food and ice cream, loads of options

Si hubiese más estrellas lo merecería delicioso el helado

Yum every flavour and design of ice cream

Milkshake was not on the same level as McDonald's

Have eaten previously which was great but called today for a coconut and Belgian chocolate ice cream on a waffle cone and first class as usual.

I'm glad I can finally give a 5* review. In the past their pie heater didn't warm the pie the whole way through. I don't know if they got a new one or if they finally figured out how to work it but now if you want a tasty hot slice of rhubarb pie 🥧 with a scoop of the best ice cream on the north coast, this is the place to come to. Albeit you can get breakfast here as well but I haven't had the chance to try it because the shop doesn't open until after 10am. A universal problem with Northern Ireland cafe's which serve cooked breakfasts is that they are never open if you actually want a breakfast at breakfast time (7-9am) unlike almost anywhere else in the world.

First class service from entering the door to table service. Soup was absolutely delish with a side of fresh wheaten . Will definitely be back 😁

Food good but to sit then choose meal and go to desk to order seems strange. Is this due to lack of staff?

This place is normally hiving with activity & qued out the door but this year it was eerily quiet. Inexperienced young staff with no management presence. A young "supervisor" who was evidently out of her depth. I felt sorry for the younger staff under her supervision, they were operating in fear, didn't know what to do next without checking with her first. & more evidence of that came when I had to return to the counter & explain to a server that the fresh cream on top of the banoffee that I'd ordered was sour. The poor girl didn't know what to do. She spoke to her colleague who then sent her to the scary supervisor. Said supervisor disappeared into the kitchen for some time. The initial server awkwardly apologised & said she didn't know what to do, as did her colleague- friend. The "supervisor" eventually returned from the kitchen to rudely explain that the banoffee had been made fresh that day, (which I didn't doubt), but her resolution was to scrape the sour cream off & put on fresh cream. This she did but as you can imagine, there were still remnants of the sour cream left behind. The banoffee which I was able to eat was just ok, the caramel topping & banana were nice, the ginger biscuit base was simply just crumbs, they mustn't have used butter to make it or set it. The children's ice-creams were poor portions.... The tubs were half empty. The same "medium" tub in Portrush was certainly not full to the brim, but neither was it half empty. Thankfully the tea & soft drinks were enjoyable. The tables on the upper level were kept clean by a very efficient male waiter, however, he appeared unable or not allowed to interact with customers. Another family came in & wanted to order hot food but were informed there wasn't any. It was 5pm on a weekday with an empty restaurant, strange! Floors in the seating areas & through to the toilets were dirty, & there wasn't any toilet roll in the bathrooms! Definitely not tempted to return.

Friendly staff and fantastic ice creams! The only thing that has changed over the years is the price! It still has super friendly/helpful/knowledgeable and artistic staff not to mention the world class ice cream!

People in there don’t even know how to speak English and they bring me pasta with nothing except of bolognaise pasta

Called in for tea and cake on a miserable summer afternoon. It was busy but still had plenty of seats available with clean tables. We had 2 teas accompanied with a rhubarb tart with vanilla icecream and a carrot cake and vanilla ice cream. All was great. Always nice to call here while on the North Coast. It maybe expensive but it's well worth it.

It's Morelli's, it's an institution. Since it's recent re-furb, it feels a little cramped to sit in (so only 4*)....but the ice cream delights are Morelli's and there is simply no comparison.

Decent ice cream BUT you can walk up the road and get cheaper and better ice cream at roughans. Check out my review of that to see what it’s like

Lovely ice cream but the cone was soggy. Disappointed that such a tradition as Morelli's has dropped their standards. Maybe got them on a bad day.

Morellis is Very clean, good service, great views and terrific ice cream . I always love to visit this cafe
