Very clean cafe. Good value large breakfast £6:50 including brewed coffee or tea. Very pleasant staff. Food fired on a griddle and not greasy. Also a very good home bakery. Pavlova looks amazing…

Stopped to grab a quick sandwich and coffee for lunch ……bread, while not exactly stale, was certainly not fresh, it was quite hard. I was in a hurry and neither wanted to make a fuss nor had the time to complain so I dot know how it would have been dealt with

Stopped in Carrickfergus for lunch and a wander around as we drove up the coast on holiday. We were recommended Ollies by a local and took a wander up. We had toasties, a childrens meal and a roll, plus cakes, and all absolutely delicious! Even sat outside enjoying the sun. Definitely recommend.

I thought this was going to be a good review, because the staff were really friendly and good at their jobs, and the food and coffee were fine. But unfortunately half an hour before we left, a man turned up and brought the two figures Laurel and Hardy in, leaving the door open. Well I can understand, he had both hands full. But he then went in and out twice, the last time just leaving the door open and didn't come in again at all, leaving the door wide open to the 8° chill outside, the room is a fairly small one, so it really penetrated. We got up to go as it was too cold to stay. I asked this man when I got outside, are you the owner? He said he was, I explained that by just leaving the door open wide had spoilt our, and no doubt other customers experience. He said 'when?' I said, ten minutes ago and before. He just shrugged, and plainly couldn't care less. What an unpleasant character! My husband and I couldn't believe his attitude! As we walked away we could hear him badmouthing us to his staff!! If you care to check, the massive majority of my reviews are extremely positive..but we'll not be back to Ollies while he's the owner.

Their all day breakfasts are legendary, I went there on Thursday when I was over visiting my Mum and had the big breakfast, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, pancake, soda bread, potato bread, mushrooms, tomato and fried egg, plus large coffee all for £4.75, great food and a great price.

A change of venue for 5 retired gents on a monthly outing. We have visited most of the local venues for breakfast this past number of years and Ollies is about middle of the list. Whilst the fry's are certainly inexpensive , they miss out on what I would say are necessary items such as black pudding. OK.

We had been to Ollies before but now it has ,moved to the otherside of MArket place to bigger and brighter premises.

I didn’t need any time to decide what to order, because on a chalk board the descriptions of the soup of the day and panini of the day were so tempting. They were a fantastic meal, and only £10.20p. Service? Staff are very good. Place was popular, lots of diners inside for their Tuesday lunch time. I went outside to enjoy the sunshine. Where else can you eat with a view of mini goats? Lots of outside seating, plus a sturdy canvas awning in case the outside gets any rain. I parked for free on the road outside, in a lay by just yards from the entrance. They have their own free 6-space car park, too. They score a maximum 5 out of 5 for their Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. Something was softly clucking in the low bushes by the seating area. Two dazzling, iridescently plumed chickens were in there. Eventually they walked out and around some of the tables. Utterly glorious creatures. I didn’t have the heart to tell them what was in my panini. Chicken tikka.

This wee delight of a place used to be perfect for afternoon lunch but after my visit today I doubt I'll be back. Waited for 55 mins for food to be brought when I observed other tables who had arrived after us being served first. The order was a fry, panini and 2 salads....so no cooking required for those 2 dishes. When the food was served an excuse of an apology was given which really qa wasnt acceptable given we waited nearly an hour at lunchtime...lucky we weren't understand time pressure. The prices have increased considerably too and the portion sizes have definitely got smaller when a caeser salad is £10.80 and not much eating it and a panini was under filled for £8.80...,not good at all. In fairness the fry was adequate. Don't think ill be back. Which is a shame
