Rosehip Cafe and Bakery in Banbridge

Very average place. Got mocha there. Served in a mug. Coffee tasted very artificial, like it was made of powder rather than espresso shot, milk and chocolate. 2 mugs and spoons brought to the table in hands, the same hands which clean tables, take cash, etc. Kind of disgusting. Decor dated. The staff asks you to check for free tables upstairs, then you walk downstairs to order, then you walk upstairs and wait. Ketchup and vinegar on every table which makes you feel you are in a cheap hostel rather than a nice cafe. Will not come back.

Always a great selection of tray bakes. Very helpful staff, especially when ordering cakes for special occasions. Speciality cake orders, with organisation’s logos, are always excellent and of a very high standard.

Well I can’t do both things at a time Like I can’t clear the tables And take peoples orders upstairs at the same time, If only one of my School mates, College mates or Clanyre mates was working So say if they took peoples orders to the kitchen upstairs so I can get on with something else, So I don’t like working on my own So say me and my mates from School Helped me to clear the tables I be happy, and also Slow me down I don’t like being rushed

Ordered a birthday cake for my daughters 21st. Gave a brief description of what I was looking for and was told no problem they would sort it no bother at all. Collected cake yesterday and was absolutely blown away by what we received. The overall look and finish was beautiful but the taste and the texture was gorgeous. The cake was moist with just the right amount of jam and buttercream. The staff are polite and professional and the cost is fantastic. Will definitely be ordering birthday cakes from here again in the future and highly recommend. Many thanks

Very basic if you can even call that overpriced. For some reason the chicken and veg soup never available as they’ve run out. Twice I’ve been told when ordering that there is none left so fair enough but the third time I had already ordered the soup and sandwich combo and wasn’t told until back at the table waiting for it. I was then asked did I want the other half of the sandwich instead. I wouldn’t have ordered the half sandwich if I had of been told this at the counter. Others with us couldn’t get chips with the curry half and half cus the kitchen closed at two. Seems pointless to have this on the menu advertised when it’s not going to be available. A sandwich was ordered and the bread fell to pieces. Other elderly customers looking the soup as well but none left. If they stay open until half five how hard is it to have basic food like chips and chicken and veg soup available. Got a box of donuts for a child labelled £2.60 but increased at the till to £3.00 as we sat in. Think that should have been told when ordering as well. I think they should make customers aware of how limited their menu is before entering to give them the option of going somewhere else.

A very relaxing and welcoming cafe. There is a homely and friendly atmosphere enhanced by the decor and cheery staff. Homemade soup and wheaten bread were amazing and accounted for bakery purchases on the way out. Well definitely be back to try out more of the menu. A great example of what a cafe should be.

We wanted to place an order for traybakes for our daughters wedding reception this week and couldn't think of anywhere better than The Rosehip Banbridge. We dealt with Gordon the owner and he is such a lovely helpful man with time to chat and give advice when we were ordering. The selection we received was phenomenal. They were well presented, colourful and most of all delicious. We had numerous enquiries where they were purchased from and we were delighted to tell them 'The Rosehip'. The restaurant here is also so good with a large selection of tasty food and lovely staff. Thankyou Gordon

Fabulous coffees. We had latte and cappuccino with our lunch specials: sandwich and delicious pureed veg soup... I could have eaten both bowls! Plus you get a choice of three sandwich fillings from a good assortment. Free wifi, lovely staff, and a wide array of baked goods at the front. We bought fruit scones. Mmmmmm....

Lovely food and the bakery lovely cream buns apple all lovely

Delicious food, lovely staff and excellent customer service

Great staff pleasant friendly & helpful

A lovely cafe and bakery. Staff are friendly and helpful

Lovely breakfast and nice staff

Great Latte coffee and mid morning sausage rolls

Staff are really friendly. Good breakfast menu. Brilliant variety of buns and cakes.

First time visit here & wasn't disappointed. Food was prepared to perfection & the staff were very friendly. Stopped here after a club cycle on Saturday.

Really amazing. I recommend visiting

I always enjoy my visits to rosehip cafe food is very good + staff are very friendly + helpful

Fry was really tasty 👌 & top service

The bakery is amazing. Have bought Cramberry and Walnut Loaf. Soch a good taste.

The Rosehip Bakery and Cafe is a local spot the whole community loves and frequents. Some of the best cakes, breads and treat around. Their food is always fantastic and really fresh, they normally serve a couple of different homemade soups everyday, stew, sandwiches, wraps, breakfast baps ect.

Our go to place for lunch when in Banbridge

Here for lunch. If you are looking for an egg of any sort, forget it. Don't do them here. Mayhem around the tills as well..very disappointed. Better options in the town..

3 members of staff behind counter as we wait to get a sandwich made, none approached even though they did acknowledge we were there. Left empty handed.

Well worth a visit but the only thing I found wrong was the staff need to slow down and pay attention to the customers

Food still good but their menu had been cut not a big select

Please give this place a visit, best bakery ever ,so much to choose from and everything I have bought so far has not been wasted . To top it off cafe is great also. They also take birthday cake orders .

Hidden gem efficient and excellent staff

Called in for some takeaway scones Fair enough, could have done with a few more cherries in them

Got potato bread and a few other things and the next day I opened it and it was blue mold on it wasn't happy at all

Love going into the bakery. Staff always friendly and helpful

Excellent cafe ,very clean well presented great food and friendly staff, I had the breakfast and was cooked fresh and hadn't long to wait ,definitely be back again to Rosehip !!

This spot is great for a lunchtime meal, with tea following, and a few pastries/buns to take home afterwards. The service is friendly and the servers are cheerful and enthused.

Beautiful buns and cakes.wouldnt go anywhere else,especially for birthday cakes.also very reasonably priced.staff always friendly and helpful.

Popped in for some brunch - friendly staff - lovely and clean and great food- great choice and lovely coffee too- would defiantly recommend - with a massive selection of cakes bread n even prepared meals to purchase to take home

Food was lovely and staff were superb.

Very Very nice people and the food was lovely

The loveliest little café in the world. Wonderful people and the food was absolutely delicious and yummy and great prices!

Great place for lunch, food deliciously fresh and served very quickly. Thank you!

Pretty good, nice sausage rolls + hot chocolate. It’s a nice, local place to pop in for lunch when you’re out. Overall one of my fav places to go for lunch :)

Gorgeous coffee! Was a take away but will definitely recommend.

Would find it tough to find a nicer Cafe/Bakery anywhere. Food and staff amazing!

Great breakfast with quality ingredients!

This was a busy lunchtime service and we only just managed to get a table without queuing for one. We were given just the right amount of time to decide our order and we all choose sandwiches either plain or toasted. The member of our party who had the salad sandwich declared it to be one of the best that she had every tasted. The other two of us had tuna sandwiches, one toasted and one plain. All the sandwiches were accompanied by a small portion of crisps but no salad. All three sandwiches were generously filled and, looking around at what other diners were eating, that seems to be the standard in this establishment. So, really good value for money. As an aside, there was a selection of artwork on the walls of the café some of which had price tags attached. Irrespective of whether or not one wished to purchase, it made a very interesting change from the bare walls of many places. This café is well worth a visit and as a bonus one can purchase bread and cakes on the way out to take home.

Excellent cooked breakfast served by competent and attentive staff. Highly recommended

First time visiting the rosehip for a breakfast team meeting with Firehow. Excellent food and the friendliest staff. Picked up a few goodies from the bakery to take home which again were excellent. Wide variety of choice, everything looked so good I'm going to have to go back sometime 😁

Called in Thurs 27/9/22 in afternoon. Very pleasant young girl at till that served us, has been there a long time but do not know her name. 2 sandwiches freshly made with very fresh bread and fillings. 2 perfectly made 1 shot americanos and some tasty tray bakes. Reasonably priced just over £15. Regularly visit Rosehip and never disappointed. Really good times for those that like a snack later in afternoon. Not sure what time they stop serving in cafe, but I think it is 4.30 - 5.00pm, or there abouts. They also have a good little loyalty card for not drinks.

Nice food and very pleasant staff

Great food and friendly service

What a find! Fantastic bakery and cafe. Friendly, attentive staff. Probably the best sandwiches in Northern Ireland.

Just had a lovely lunch in the Rosehip Cafe. I would highly recommend it. I went with my GF daughter and my ASD son. We all easily got food off the menu, they now have waitress service at the table making it SO much easier. Everything was delicious and not rushed. Service was pleasant and efficient but not intrusive and the owner even stopped by the table to check we were happy. We wished we lived closer as it would be a regular!

We stopped in purely by chance and we are so glad we did. The bakery food to take away was excellent- great sandwiches, ready meals and incredible cakes and cookies! But the rat in was equally impressive! Great value for money, wide range of choices and simply delicious! This is only about 2kms off the Highway, and definitely worth a detour!

The very tasty chicken and grape sandwich is part of a wide variety of take-out options. This is along side sit-in, where the food choices are excellent along with the helpful friendly staff.

Very happy, cappuchino was hot, scones gorgeous and staff very nice.

Stopped for a sandwich while passing through Banbridge. I had a panini and my husband had a sandwich, with a side of chips. The bread was lovely and fresh, plenty of filling and the chips were crispy and dry. Staff are polite and efficient and our food was served very quickly. I would definitely call again, we had a nice experience.

OMG love the bread. Always have lunch a couple of times a week. Delish!!

Got a super soda bacon sausage and egg lovely start b4 a saturday round lol 😆

Called in for lunch on Saturday and was really disappointed with the portion size I ordered a large fry and couldn’t believe how small it looked on the plate for the price. It was like a kids meal instead of a “large fry “ Wouldn’t like to see the small one Definitely not worth the money.

Called in at 3pm for food only to be told they aren’t serving food, all you can have is a sandwich. Can buy a sandwich from the garage an probably be cheaper. Poor from a modern cafe.

Called in for breakfast after golf. Had one of the best breakfast fries I've ever had. The quality of ingredients was fantastic and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

Lively place - great French Toast 😊

Very nice coffee and bun lovely staff too.

90th Birthday cake was not only lovely to look at, but tasted delicious. My mother in law was over the moon. Great service and the most pleasant staff to deal with.

Vegetarian option not actually vegetarian. There cream of vegetable soup is made with chicken stock. If I'd not asked what stock was used I wouldn't have known. Disappointing.

Really good food. Friendly staff.

Amazing Food and Really Friendly Staff. Definitely will go back there again soon. 👍😊

A lovely location, super layout, very friendly staff and the food was very tasty. I'll be back.

Friendly staff. Very tasty scones and lovely traybakes. Busy but plenty of space. Would be happy to return

Best food & bakery In banbridge x

Fantastic wee place for lunch. Very friendly.

Nice but getting quite expensive and have been out of stock of a few things of late which is disappointing.

Spacious...Felt Covid Safe...met at door by friendly assistant who explained the system. Coffee was lovely, food was perfect. Def be back!

Not great signage to indicate table service only,staff plesent.

I had visited Rosehip many times pre-covid, but this was my first breakfast here for a long while. The veggie fry now includes not only the expected egg, sausages, beans, mushrooms and soda bread, but several slices of halloumi! Yes - halloumi for breakfast! Why is this not more widespread? I'd never thought of halloumi as a substitute for bacon, but it makes perfect sense. I'll definitely be back for another veggie fry soon.

We booked a table for 8 in the morning for peak time during lunch 12pm. we arrived at a time when the cafe and counters were packed and our table was still reserved for us. Thank you and all the staff for a wonderful lunch. Quality food and excellent service at an affordable price.

Always love the food in rosehip and the staff are so friendly would highly recommend it x

There's so much selection for sitting in and taking away here. I get cakes and bread from here and takeaway sandwiches a couple times a week where I just tell the girls what I want and they make it quite quickly.

Lovely home bakes. Great selection. We went for breakfast and there was a good choice to have. Would recommend the full breakfast and soda bread.

This place is great and the food and the bakery are lovely, any time I'm in Banbridge I call in it's a must.

Food delicious, staff very friendly and helpful. Bakery goods just gorgeous and so fresh. Birthdat cakes are fabulous, they look and taste great. 😊🍞🥞🍩🎂☕🍽

Fantastic coffee, fantastic breakfast (especially the french toast) and lovely staff

Great bakery, GI bread, cakes etc excellent. Only issue difficult access for wheelchair users at present

Lovely Friendly Place, The Rosehip Bakery Probably The Best for all your Breads and Cakes and Buns and much More, i love it 😀

They made a beautiful wedding cake for us. The cake was fine, elegant and very tasty. Thank you for making such a beautiful cake for our special day. Very friendly staff.

Great cafe and bakery in Banbridge. Good for hot food, sandwiches or cakes. I got a lovely cappuccino and mint flavoured tray bake to take out.

Gorgeous coffee..lovely bakery and friendly staff.

New decor is modern and sleek. Best place to get a sandwich in Northern Ireland. Awesome lunch’s too. The bakery stuff speaks for itself, so so good every time. Nowhere is better in Banbridge!

I live in England and my sister lives in Ireland and I wanted to do something nice to cheer her up as she was having a particularly bad day. So I rang Rosehip and asked if they could put together a box of 4 cream cakes, 2 hot chocolates and marshmallows with a note and deliver them to her door. They willingly and kindly obliged and within less than 40 minutes my sister received a wonderfully unexpected surprise from a lovely young lady..! She was over the moon..! All for £6.50..! My sister was happy and so was I..! Thank you Rosehip..!

Quick lunch on a busy shopping day. Food was excellent (chicken curry) and served promptly. Staff were very helpful and wore masks. The tables were well spaced allowing for good social distancing. Would definitely recommend.

Very poor service. Had to ask for everything for table from napkins to forks etc. Food ok.

We had a nice coffee and brunch. Staff were very nice. Decor is a bit dated.

Excellent food and friendly service

We went in for lunch and to take advantage of the eat out to help out. The dining area is spotless. The lady that served us was so pleasant. My mum and i both had chicken salad which was so fresh and delicious. My daughter had a ham and cheese panini which she enjoyed. Cant wait to visit again. Top marks to the rosehip!!

Seemed a bit disorganised but good food and friendly staff.

I liked this place because you got nice food in it nice staff come again

Love the rosehip beautiful food and friendly staff

Was going to a meeting and needed something to eat quick to keep me going. This was a lucky and good choice as I had the cream of chicken soup which was full of flavour and chicken! I finished this off with a victoria sponge which was light and fresh and a cup of tea. Friendly fast service and you can see that this place is well run. Tables were cleared promptly and there are lots of newspapers available for customers to read. I would come back.

Banbridge is blessed with cafes and coffee shops.But if you want hot food you are out of luck as they stop at 3pm,with the exception of chippys or Safari grill.Rosehip is a long narrow cafe,with the serving counter on the right and tables and chairs on left,so it is not possible to have a quiet meal really.You order at counter and the only menu is a black board running along behind the counter. Bit difficult as no time to choose.I had a ham salad sandwich on brown bread.About 6.25 stg. Pay before eat. Wi fi available.There is an extensive range of breads,tray bakes,cakes and deserts as well as take away foods.It is worth a visit.

Gordon very helpful man and has his staff the same nothing a bother to them lovely helpful people and food lovely

High quality stuff. Highly recommended you try there bacon and cheese farls
