Railway St. in Down

Friendly Efficient staff. 5/5 Coffee and pastries!! Lovely spot.

This was a cute, simple, place with good coffee and pastries. There were a few other menu items like oats but not really a meal (if that's what you are looking for). We spent 16 pounds for 3 food items and 2 coffees. Service was great!!

This is my go to cafe in Newcastle. Their cheddar and pulled pork filled croissants (ham and cheese) is to die for. I don't know what magic they put into their whipped cream but it is gorgeous. I just love this cafe so much. The vibe is so clean. Menu only until like 3:30 or 4 I think so be there before that if you want food. It's not a very big menu, like 5 things and then sweet treats but they are really good quality.

Very nice coffee! Friendly staff

Beautiful coffee! Staff seems to have some shortages!

Coffee and tray bakes highly recommended. Staff so pleasant and accommodating.

Only ever had coffee but it's awesome!

Lovely little stop with tasty food and fab drinks

£6.50 for a singular piece of toast

One of my favourite places to go on a Saturday morning. A great way to refuel after a parkrun. Staff are friendly and food is great. Selection of buns and treats is unreal!

Service a little slow but very good coffee and buns. Breakfast looks good

Awesome spot, great sweet stuff and best ham and cheese croissants this side of Paris. GREAT WEE SPOT

One of the best about! Service is top notch, always helpful, always friendly. The staff seem like they genuinely enjoy working at Railway Street and serving customers - for a staff who all look to be at most in their early 20s, this is rare. Yes, I sound like an old man, but it makes a difference!

Good coffee and had the muesli and avocado toast for brunch. Good spot for a young crowd.

Delicious coffee and croissant, pleasant atmosphere.

Great service and food lovely as always Very friendly

I’ve been visiting this cafe for two years now. It has been consistently incredible. The staff are always friendly, the food is always amazing and the coffee is phenomenal. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend.

Had a lovely breakfast here on a Saturday, it was quite busy but the service was quick and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Both the food and coffee were brilliant, would definitely come again.

Bear café in Newcastle by a mile. Food is always great and the coffee is always perfect. Me and my wife do alot of hiking around the mournes and we always call here for breakfast. I wouldn't go anywhere else for breakfast and coffee.

A sad trip to see. We used to love coming here for fresh, light food and a taste of Aus several times a month. The menu has been reduced to a boring, bland and pitiful amount from a business that no longer cares. The owner is blaming Brexit and family commitments for the demise - surprised if it lasts another year :(

Best coffee in town! Great Christmas sandwich too and the staff were great.

Need to change menu on the website. No longer do sausage bacon and eggs!!

Lovely pastries and high quality specialty coffee

Great coffee & even better salted caramel brownie! 🤎

Great cruffin and pumpkin spice iced latte. I highly recommend!

An excellent place for brunch,coffee and lovely tray bakes.

The coffee, food, and service were all exceptional for our brunch this morning. The food was especially delicious!

Friendly, accommodating and quick service

Hands down the best out of the three cafés I've tried. The food and coffee were both excellent.

Got breakfast twice, the vic which is sourdough bread, avacado, bacon & 2 poached eggs. It was lovely, nice healthy breakfast option hard to beat! Got a coupla iced lattes too which were delish! Staff were really nice & chatty too. :)

Great cafe, fantastic tasty food and brilliant range of drink options. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Great way to start our holiday. 😊

We always come here with friends. It's a great place for coffee and scones. The staff are very helpful and talkative, who also serve great coffee! Will definitely recommend and be back.

1st Coffee in Ireland since we left Scotland on Monday. Well worth the trip. Tasty tasty Picollo with delicious cake. Coming back for brunch it looked amazing

That's the quickest one star you can get. Needed to bring the little one to the toilet, asked if we can use the toilets and the young lady at the till said "sorry, customers only". I think she didn't see the little one, told her it's for the little one and happy to buy anything, still refused to let us use the toilet BEFORE buying. Again, all within her rights, just like writing this review is within mine. As for the food, I can't say for sure, since once the little one finishes munching on whatever we bought the rest will go straight to the bin.

I loved this place! It has a great vibe. It looks good and is really comfortable. They play some good music too. The staff are really friendly and very helpful, they know their menu and are happy to make suggestions. And the food? Beautiful. Tasty. Hot. Well presented. I had the oasted sourdough bread with salmon, cream cheese and two poached eggs. Im going back to do it all again!!!!! The coffee's great too and my server, a great guy, suggested I try the cinnamon roll! Aw man! You need to try this!

0/10. The Ulster cafe with no Ulster fry!! I cannot believe this has happened. A perfectly good cafe ruined by menu changes. Who are they appealing to? The latte set. Shocking. Railway Cafe I say no!

Excellent coffee shop with first class service. First time to visit and will be back.

Good coffee with lovely food that is well made and reasonably priced.

Called in with family for lunch. The place was very clean, staff very warming and appetising menu. I had the fry. It consisted off two sausages, two bacon, two poached eggs, soda farl, potato bread, beans and black pudding. It was sensational. Very reasonably price. Will be back soon!

Excellent service, good fresh food

Highly recommend. Excellent brunch - would definitely recommend the creme brûlée pancakes if you have a sweet tooth.

Railway St cafe is a lovely relaxing place with a vibe of positivity. The staff always greet you with a smile and friendly query of how you are. The food served there is amazing! They have now started selling their own range of clothing and accessories with a gentle reminder to try to stay positive with ourselves and others.

This is such a lovely little place perfectly placed for a walk (food first obvs!). Varied menu with plenty of options and superb coffee. Staff were really friendly and the food was really good! Thank you 😃

The cafe is trendy with very friendly and attentive staff. The food was really nice, perfectly cooked and well presented. The reason I only gave it 3 stars was the coffee. Although the coffee was good the size of the cups actually made me laugh given the price. I really enjoy a reasonable size cup of coffee and for this reason I'd be hard pushed to go back.

Great food, no complaints. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The decor is bright and airy and very relaxing. Highly recommend it.

Had a late brunch here, and was really good. The potato bread in the RS Fry was lovely.

Stopped here for brunch as was dropping my daughter off for an event near the town. Was greeted by such a friendly smiling young staff member. Had a gorgeous sourdough cheese mushroom toasted sandwich with relish that was one of the best I've ever tasted. The service was quick, efficient and all the staff were as pleasant as the first girl I met. The place was lovely and clean and bright too. I'm not local but if I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back.

This is a really good place for brunch in Newcastle. Portions are generous and food is amazing. To top it all, they make fantastic coffee too. The best place for lunch in Newcastle!

Nice coffee and breakfast at Railway. We had to wait a bit to get in but staff were polite and friendly. Porridge was too stodgy but toppings made up for it!

Lovely lunch. Kids pancakes and OG pancakes.

Phenomenal food, friendly staff and honestly one of the best coffees I've ever had

Great coffee and good range of food. Gluten free options available and staff were very knowledgeable regarding what foods to avoid.

I'd definitely recommend this place to people who are looking for good coffee in Newcastle. The late opening hours are a great idea! Especially for people who prefer coffee over alcohol on certain occasions.

We visited here 2 years ago so thought we would come back again. Weren’t disappointed, as it was just as great as we remembered. Top stuff. Well worth a visit. Recommend the cakes.

Food was lovely, friendly staff.

Slowest service - coffee to go is good but there is no sense of urgency when there is a queue. Waited 25 minutes for a coffee. There was on five people ahead of me.

Staff were rude and unapologetic when it took them ages to ask us what we wanted to order. When we said we had to leave as we had an app to make the girl said, with a lot of attitude, 'nooo botherrrr at all' and laughed. Will never be back.

Busy place but always attentive service. Great food and relaxed atmosphere😁

Great staff. Good vibe. Yummy cake and coffee

Lovely staff + food. Def be back.

Good coffee and scones . Friendly staff

Genuinely one of the best brunches I've ever had - who knew newcastle was such a gastronomy hub! Unbelievable food and they were fantastic about my gluten allergy, went twice in two days on our trip as we were so impressed. Well priced also, would pay twice that in Dublin for the same. Shall be back!

Ptray bakes are lovely but the coffee was cold

Called in for breakfast ,delicious brioche bap filled with bacon,egg and conakilty Black pudding.great sundried tomato relish too.

Called in with my 2 kids, really good food, an pleasant staff, will definitely be back again

Great coffee and treat. Could have some cheap savory options but no big loss.

Called in to get a takeaway with my 7 year old niece at the entrance as I always used to do when in Newcastle but upon being asked if we were getting takeaway or sitting in, and saying "takeaway" we were told to go and stand outside and get served through the window, despite the fact that I had a mask, that we weren't stood near anyone in the empty waiting area, and we couldve got a sit in no problem without a mask, as plenty of others were sat in. I think I was that gobsmacked that I actually went to the window and paid for our stuff, like some kind of reprimanded schoolkid but instantly decided I will never ever give them another penny. Like everyone, to some extent I can tolerate the pervasive idiocy of the last few years but I won't bankroll ignorance. There's other cafe's in Newcastle that I'd far rather support from now on.

Wasn't open in the middle of the day

Lovely cafe, refreshing design and decor. Staff friendly and welcoming and the food and coffee delicious. Definitely recommend :-)

Fab breakfast, great service and atmosphere

Called here for breakfast this morning. Couldn’t fault in any shape or for,food delicious and hot and plentiful. Our sever Amy was top of her game,so friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Thanks and look forward to our next visit.

Had an excellent lunch here. Food was superb and staff very pleasant. Always busy and excellent covid regulations in place. Highly recommended.

Nice place, staff were friendly and generous, give us an extra scone for takeout. Has a cool vibe and do good coffee at the foot of the Mourne’s, can’t ask for much more

Very mordern nice coffee place, friendly staff, tasty soup for lunch.

Fantastic new age cafe, staff are first class, friendly and very helpful. And the food is unreal very highly recommended. Due to this its very very popular, so you may have to wait a little, but its well worth the wait.

Great place for brunch/lunch.. really tasty combos... highly recommend Black Pudding and potato stack!!!

Nice venue good food and coffee

What a fantastic place this is. Everything was excellent, from the attentiveness of the staff, to the look of the place, to the food and drink. The attention to detail with everything within the business is perfect. It makes such a difference when business owners put effort into their business. I would certainly visit again, and I can’t recommend this place enough. 10/10.

Wonderful restaurant. Brilliant, friendly service

Following a recommendation from a friend, we had breakfast at Railway St on two occasions during our recent visit to Newcastle. The food, service and setting did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend the fry breakfast. Very good value for money.

omg... what can i say... the 1st time in here. and certainly will not be the last... the fry was just amazing!! fast and friendly service!!!

Bright cheerful cafe, lovely menu. Great staff. Pleasure to eat here.

Excellent food and fantastic service. Would highly recommend

It was desperation that brought me here and their flat white coffee was superb at £2.8 and 4 of of 5 green stars to boot. I ordered through a hatch to a face I couldn’t see, just a voice, as the cafe seemed closed to sitting inside. The flat white was one of the best I’ve had. I must add that my 5 stars are based on just on one single darn fine coffee on a first visit standing on a street, on what turned out to be one of the hottest days we’ve ever had in Northern Ireland, 29c. It is unheard of - and for the last 8 weeks we’ve averaged about 16c and usually cloudy every day. The service was swift too, the coffee seemed to appear in a nanosecond. The cup was biodegradable and the plastic lid recycle able. So while it’s only a delicious coffee - to make coffee this good shows a passion and a love of food. I was staying in the Slieve Donard hotel with family. They had the gall to serve the worst coffee and worst breakfast food my family have had served up in a very long time - this was the view of 7 of us. The hotel’s rotten ‘free breakfast’ was provided on foot of having paid £185 a night for a double room for two people (or twice the nightly price of the hard rock hotel London centre in a current deal with breakfast). I noted that most Donard hotel coffees were priced at £4 but having had their coffee offering at breakfast like their lousy food, I thought never again.

Good food and service, would recommend no bother.

One of the best places in newcastle for breakfast or lunch. Great chill atmosphere, reasonably priced, tasty food with a good selection, lovely coffee and milkshakes, great selection of sweet treats, very nice and pleasant staff. Would highly recommend!

Best breakfast I’ve ever had! The iced coffees were delicious, the breakfast bap was incredible and the hash was unmissable. Staff were so nice and service was so quick, you blinked and your food and drinks were there! 10000/10

Haven't been in Railway Street since before the 1st lockdown and the standard of the food is as good as ever (see photos). The staff in Railway street were very attentive and have a great attitude. The only negative thing I have say about is that the music is soo loud you feel like you're at a nightclub and I had to mute my hearing aids and it was still very loud as the people I was with complained about it too. All in all great breakfast, very clean and the Staff are the friendliest about.

Very good food and quality coffee

We ordered a takeaway meal to eat along the waterfront. The service was pleasant and efficient. The meal, the lunch special, was delicious and would’ve happily had it again the next day! A great place that I regularly visit when in Newcastle.

Wow! Incredible food, great service! Best meal I've had so far this year. We had The Veggie and The Hash, plus Cappucinos, Earl grey Tea and Raspberry Rocky Road. If you go to Newcastle, try this place you won't be disappointed. Top marks to the Owner, Chef & Service team they were all great - thank you. Highly recommended 🙌

Stopped here for take away coffee and scone service good, coffee and scone delicious.

Brilliant cafe never fails to provide me great food and service.

Always love their coffee and the food is good too

Loved the place and their breakfast was really amazing! try their chai latte

Nicest coffee anywhere. Amazing treats and very friendly service. Can't get enough of this place.

Really, really, really, REALLY good coffee!! 😋😋😋

We stopped by after the beach and got a stunning sausage bap and my partner claimed the best coffee she's ever had! The bap had a perfect sausage ratio and the bap itself was slightly fried which made it incredible. My partner doesn't drink caffeine and doesn't particularly like cow milk so we often don't get coffee out but railway do decafe and a selection of alternate milks so I ordered her a decafe oat milk latte and she was obsessed. We have now vowed to get a coffee every time we are there. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, amazing coffee, very cozy interior, friendly staff!

Best coffee in Northern Ireland
