Rumours Coffee House in Carrickfergus

Well worth a visit, decent coffee, food great good prices. Friendly staff.

Nice little coffee shop on the Giants causeway scenic way and a perfect first stop for coffee and breakfast. Fresh food, proper barista coffee, indoor and outdoor seating. Vegetarian options as well. Very well priced

A really enjoyable visit with my chum. Drinks and traybakes were fab. Pleasant atmosphere , not too loud , staff were very helpful and went that extra mile for my request. Will be back again

The best waffles and sandwiches we have had on this island so far. I would definitely want to take 10 waffles with me. The best waffles and sandwiches we've had on this island so far. I'd definitely want to take 10 waffles with me.

Oh my God, everything was sooo delicious! The Coffee, the Waffles, the Sandwich, the Soup. Definitely the best we had in Ireland so far 🤤😍 Thank you and Greetings from Germany

Call in every Friday with my brother's for our weekly catch up. Friendly staff great service and the food is always good, would recommend anytime.

Nice coffee, catered to our fussy needs. Lovely staff. Thank you

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.

Friendly coffee shop, I haven't eaten here much, but what I did get was good. The staff are all pleasant and helpful.

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.

Its a great wee place hope it does well . Would definitely visit again

Decent coffee, not the cheapest, no toilets, staff suggested we use Wetherspoon's.

Could not recommend enough. Rumours gave us Soup and a Panini. They were both piping hot and just what we needed for a cold Monday afternoon. Service was friendly and attentive.

Cosy and comforting cafe with exceptional delights and coffees on offer. Homestyle faire and welcoming atmosphere.

i think Uwasatchi goes here on weekdays to 8:00am

Solid breakfast stop. Couldn’t be closer to the castle. Great views. Friendly staff.

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.

We were looking for a quick lunch and a good coffee on a rainy day. We came cross this cafe for the first time. The friendly staff and delicious sandwiches really made our day. Highly recommended

Ordered a Vanilla Latte to go from a really polite gent and it was fantastic! I regret not ordering something from the menu, but I am excited to go back and try the food! :D

Clean , staff friendly * lovely food ,top coffee , great atmosphere 👌

Un buen sitio para tomar te o café y comer un snack o algo dulce.

Great coffee and gorgeous scones..extremely light and fluffy..would definitely recommend a visit 👌

Staff very pleasant. Coffee very nice.

I had lunch there today, and the toasted sandwich was delicious! Café was very clean and staff friendly. I took home a slice of lemon Victoria sandwich, and it was the best I've ever eaten!!!! I strongly recommend.

Best bacon rolls ever, quick service. Lovely place

Nice but expensive for what it is. £10 For two scones and two coffees

Great food, lovely helpful staff. Recommend!

Great coffee and great service, right in the middle of Carrickfergus centre. They have a selection of gluten-free cakes (not sure if it is permanent thing or not)

Lovely coffee and snacks. Quick service and the staff are very pleasant and courteous.

Great place, friendly staff and lovely food / coffee.

Me and my fiancè called into here for a cuppa and something to eat. We got a sausage and bacon bap and it was disgusting i did not enjoy it one bit and the price of what we got was abit steep. Wouldnt go back again

A wonderful friendly place relax, with a great coffee

Great staff and great service 👌

Decent cup of coffee - no fuss sort of a place.

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.

Lovely place for tea or coffee. Scones nice too. Girl that served us very pleasant.

Was on a blind date. Was lovely and staff were very friendly and efficient and. Good for a coffee or chill for a bit. Nice

pedímos dos cafés , y como no, en dos tazas enormes llenas de café para parar un tren. precio razonable para estar en Irlanda. ubicación excelente. camarera .muy agradable

Great place for breakfast with great coffee.

Lovely friendly staff and good coffee. They don't take cards so remember to take cash with you.

Fantastic cappuccino! Great staff!

right opposite the Castle, lovely coffee, tea and cakes. Ambience is great and you can see the Castle from here

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.

Best paninis and coleslaw! Lovely smooth xoffee and vert welcoming staff and environment.

Friendly, clean, varied menu. Good prices.

Nice place good food nice friendly staff and great veiws

I was in Carrickfergus signing for my beautiful new home and was absolutely ravished with hunger as hadn’t stopped all morning

This very nice cafe is a very good rest stop for a great coffee and cake and very nice staff THANKS from Wales

Great coffee, friendly staff and good prices

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

This little restaurant in the heart of Carrickfergus is very child friendly. The staff are so helpful. It is very clean, food good and coffee super. Highly recommend.

Superb coffee and food. Friendly staff and great menu choices. Looking out to the sea and carrickfergus castle. This coffee house is set in a beautiful location at the edge of the town with access to shops and attractions.

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 very pleasant little coffee shop - quite old fashioned and a bit dark in decor BUT they do a really good coffee. I have not had food in here apart from snacks. They are very good and helpful with small children.

Great little cafe with excellent food and great service. All their dishes are excellent and they have a fantastic variety of cakes and scones. Overall a very good place and the service is exceptional, only one issue that I do not like is there is sometimes people sitting at the back using bad language or talking about subjects that are not appropriate for a place like this.

was told that this cafe was,dog friendly went along with my shih tzu dog coco was told dogs arnt allowed very disappointed wont ve sack in a hurry.

Despite living in Carrick for 10 years we’ve always walked past Rumours, it’s nothing to look but we popped in for a change and we are pleased we did, the coffee was nice and the cinnamon scones were delicious, and all for a very reasonable price, will certainly be making a return visit.

This little coffee/pastry shop is across the street from the Carrickfergus Castle and serves good coffee. Didn't try the pastries. He even put some whipped cream on the top of my coffee for me in lieu of skim milk.

3 rd visit - the best scrambled eggs and bacon anyway. Staff very friendly and efficient and relaxed atmosphere.

Enormes tazas de rico café, ubicado en un lugar privilegiado frente al castillo. Cuidan mucho la limpieza y las tartas muy buenas también. Muy recomendable!

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. (We have similar rainy weather, so coffee shops are a bit of a thing with us.)

Went there today with my sister Staff are very friendly and very helpful We had coffee and fabulous lemon cake I would go back if only to taste it again Also very reasonably priced

Got a cappucino and a coke for 3,70£ total it is cheap and good service. They have a nice entourage and are worth visiting. We did not check the food as we only stopped for drinks.

Definitely our go to cafe. after a lovely walk our destination is always rumours. Best coffe in carrickfergus. Perfectly made, friendly professional staff, daily newspapers and best of all the views out over Belfast lough. Would also recommend the scrambled egg and thick brown grain bread. Jackie/Stuart. Carrickfergus

I love this coffee shop, best coffee served here and the waffles r amazing, they r made as u wait and they never disappoint. Staff are lovely and friendly and a great wee spot for enjoying a coffee and chilling. I can highly recommend - enjoy

A lovely airy, clean, friendly coffee shop with a good range of sweet goodies as well as a decent range of savoury light lunch options.

Good Coffee shop, with good selection of coffees, teas, buns etc, nice spot. Right in front of castle.

I adore this wee café. It quickly became my go-to café when I am visiting friends in Carrickfergus, and has remained so for over a year now- never disappointing! The staff is all lovely and their flat whites are impeccable!

Just popped in for a take away coffee and was impressed. From the beginning I had high confidence in the bloke making my coffee and I wasn't disappointed. A good strong flat white made to a good length.

Took 2 kids here for morning coffee. They had hot chocolate. No complaints from the kids. Service good, pricing normal but stand out was sitting outside in East facing seats and smoking up morning sunshine.

lovely coffee and Sandwich. and my partner had scrambled egg with sausage and bacon brown bread butter and jam with earlGrey tea

My friend and I called in for coffee as nought else opened In carrick to be honest !! Cappuccino and nineteen square truly delicious !! My friends coffee was also delicious!! Lovely wee cafe with friendly staff !! Free wifi !!!

On a very wet morning a number of us from a walking group called in for coffee.No complaints but not the best scones in the town.

Hemos usado esta instalación en un par de ocasiones, cada vez muy satisfecho. Estupendo para el café y aperitivos ligeros. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Buen café y bollos, lugar agradable para sentarse y disfrutar de una lectura de los papeles locales, etc., volvería de nuevo.

Called in on quite a few occasions. Very friendly staff with very reasonable prices and amazing size portions. Highly recommend the red velvet cake with your cuppa. In a brilliant location in the centre of carrickfergus and just across the road from carrickfergus castle.

Went for brunch with local friends. the place looked very clean with a great selection of food. The service was friendly and quick and the food was great and reasonable. Would recemmend it

I am visiting this place very often. I don't normally drink to much coffee. but I drink 2 to 3 coffee everytime I visit there.I like the sandwich toasties as well. also staff very friendly

Was visiting the castle and went into this coffee shop,.had a lovely coffee an lunch with my family served by kind and helpful staff I will definitely be back :) .

Wide selection of cofffees whiuch are made quick and presented well. The sausage rolls arnt bad either.

Delicious scone and jam with very good coffee. Great view down the High St and a nice warm welcome from the tea. Pure Irish hospitality

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.

Visited today with family, 3 adults and 5 kids, the soup and sandwiches were lovely as were the toasties the kids had, clean plates all round, great value as well, the staff were brilliant with the kids and they even got some free cookies for being so good. Great experience, thank you very much, will be back next time we are in Carrick.

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.

Good location, near the castle, friendly helpful staff.Good selection of cakes and various coffees. Makes a change from the chains as it seems a more personal service.

I had lunch here today. The cafe is in a great location just opposite the castle and next to two car parks.Service was friendly, helpful and quick and I had chicken salad and a coffee for about half the price of Starbucks. Note that they accept cash only though.

We stopped here after driving the beautiful Antrim coast road for a break before continuing south. We ordered the soup (potato and leek) Cajun chicken sandwich and a filter coffee. At £4.50 for soup and sandwich, it was great value, plentiful and delicious. Service was efficient, friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent cafe that is locally owned and serves a great cup of coffee. The hot chocolate is another success. Staff are extremely friendly and the whole ambience is relaxed. A must visit and when there try the scones.

Although we were here only for cappuccino and a sweet, I wish we could have stayed for lunch. Locals near us had the soup with brown bread and it looked heavenly! Nice stop.

Four of us went into this cafe and ordered roast beef sandwiches, presentation was great,they really were lovely and tasty. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Our Offices have just moved to Carrickfergus. Rumours is now my local for for that lunchtime sandwich. I sometimes push the boat out and have a scone or cake.The sandwich is made fresh and with care. It is well filled, and does not fall apart when you pick it up.

Great coffee and wonderful lemon drizzle cake. Fast friendly service. It was great that there were some outside tables so we could sit in the sunshine.

We called in after looking round the castle for a cup of tea and cakeThe Lemon cake was delicious my hubbie had the carrot cake and he was well impressed

Rumours in Carrickfergus is a great place to call in for your morning coffee. There is a great view of the promenade, its in a very handy place to call in if you are in Carrickfergus.The staff are always friendly and attentive.
