We went today for lunch ordered soup for 1 and 2 toasties and 2 coffees. We got the coffees and had them drank the coffee and still never got what we had ordered to go along with the coffee. 3 couples who arrived after us got served before us and the owner sat behind us eating his lunch, never mind the customers who pay their wages, they need some one who knows what they are doing in the kitchen and not work at a snails pace. The owner needs a wee lesson in Customer Service.

Visited today for the first time due to home bakery I usually eat in being closed. Two sausage rolls and a caramel square . Sausage rolls were inedible caramel square nothing special. But the real shock was the outrageous price of £7.10 I'm afraid to say daylight robbery. Needless to say I'll not be returning again.

Misleading reviews led to believe dog friendly (a bowl on the floor outside doesn’t constitute), but very much isn’t. Owners should claim page and correct misleading reviews to avoid further inconvenience to potential customers.

Taking a walk around Carrickfergus, I decided to pop in to Rumours Coffee House for lunch. I was glad I did. I ordered soup and an Americano coffee. Before I sat down at a table, the owner made sure my table was clean. My coffee arrived at my table first and then a few minutes later, the soup arrived, served with two slices of white bread and butter. The soup - which was, I think celery soup did taste like it was packet soup. But nevertheless, it was good and a generous serving, too. With the coffee, the bill came to £6.95. All menu items are clearly displayed, but only the breakfast menu items have prices listed with them. There's a clear choice of breakfast, lunch or dinner courses on the menu, but if you want a selection of scones, biscuits or gateaux, along with a cup of tea, you could be spoiled for choice The owner and two other members of staff were courteous, polite and most helpful running this family-friendly coffee shop. I was asked if I'd like more bread as I ate my soup and as I left, I thanked the owner who then held a door open for me. How many other coffee shops would do that? I'd certainly recommend Rumours Coffee House.

During a day exploring the hills and forests outside Carrickfergus Town I decided to have a nice pick me up, so I decided to try somewhere I haven't been in and that led me to the Rumours Coffee House which is situated opposite Carrickfergus Castle in the middle of the Town Centre. Although it was only a mocha and tray bake, I can say that it was it exactly what I needed and the views of the Irish sea and Carrickfergus Castle really make this cafe a lucky little place. Next time I am in Carrickfergus I'll visit the Castle and then get a nice little treat at Rumours afterwards.

After all the good reviews for the cakes we should have ordered these, instead we had waffles, bacon and syrup. The waffles were very poor quality with a grey appearance and no body to them. They were served in a pool of syrup which had soaked into the sawdust-like texture. Altogether the worst waffles I've ever eaten.

Well whilst we were walking about in town the rain came on and we darted into Rumours for coffee until the rain has eased .We were nit disappointed at all .. I told the other half surprise me and he did just that by bringing me a large slice of lemon cake .. Lemon cake is quite tricky to find that's nice but look no further this will knock your socks off .. the lemon is so strong and tasty ... mmmmm . The coffee I could drink all day long .... the staff are real friendly.. We will be back asap

We popped in here for a quick drink after visit Carrickfergus Castle across the road and had to take our drinks away as we had a deadline in Belfast. There were so many yummy things on the counter but we didn’t need to eat.Both our coffee and hot chocolate were delicious. There’s a luxury hot chocolate which has cream and marshmallows but I just had the standard one which was lovely and plenty sweet enough.Great friendly fast service.

This is a fairly new restaurant to the town centre of Carrickfergus and what a place it is, there must be at least 5-6 restaurants right in the centre of Carrickfergus but this one is by far the best. They lead the way in Customer Service, Quality of Food, friendly staff, great range of dishes, location and you will leave this restaurant with a smile on your face. If they are not the best restaurant in the town centre of Carrickfergus, they are well ahead of who ever is in second place. Well done guys

If it had been open on Sunday, we would have visited a second time! Of all the eateries we visited during our two-week travels in Ireland, this was the best coffee-shop/breakfast experience, reminiscent of what we experience in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

When I arrived it was lunch time, when I asked the extremely RUDE member of staff what toasted sandwiches they do I was told to 'read the menu.' When I finally decided what I wanted it took them 25 minutes to make 2 toasted sandwiches and considering there was only us and one other table (who were already eating) this did not impress us. When it arrived it was cold and the tray bakes we ordered we're stale and they made my husband the wrong sandwich... will NOT be back here.

I know what you're thinking - TripAdvisor reviews are only ever second hand Nellnews...but I think this one worth reading. This place isn't exactly what dreams are made of, but it would also be wrong to say I'm never going back again. If you were thinking of going, don't stop, go your own way - but the vegetarian panini that I had was well worth a recommendation. The atmosphere and service were excellent - I enjoyed it to the point that if there is bad other than the fact it is cash only, I don't want to know.

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
