Sainsburys Cafe in North Down

No coffee today, sadly, sign saying cafe permanately closed😢 really missed this facility. Lovely bright spacious store, well stocked shelves, wide aisles.

Not a lot of hot food to choose from, sandwiches, tray bakes and scones, tea coffee and hot chocolate, which are not too pricey,

Enjoyed coffee and snack in cafe,cappuccinos were good, then to supermarket shop, today there were new huge trolleys very spacious and surprisingly manageable after a few aisles, one petit lady wondered how she would reach down to retrieve the groceries and could see the difficulty, noticed quite a few bringing Homebase trolleys across, I did manage but as I shop often found it too large and a basket was too small, will check around and see next time if any normal sized options available.

Visited Sainsburys for few last minute food items, was not too busy so made a much needed coffee stop, service was good, ordered coffee extra hot and was delivered as requested, in a large beaker which seemed to retain heat better than a cup, choose a cinnamon whirl, and apple lattice pastry, definately would return.good value.

My mother was asked to fill in her contact details to have a cup of coffee in one of your coffee shops in Northern Ireland. This is unacceptable. She is not well and was upset when she returned home. SHAME ON YOU, @sainsburys

Lovely staff but fruit scone had 1 piece of fruit, obviously stuck on the outside. Jam would be an extra 50p. Tea was good and served in a teapot.

My friend and I have taken to go to this cafe after the gym. First time visit for me in January. Love the place! Prices are very reasonable, staff can’t do more for you and the food is yummy. ( baked potato with beans and salad is my favourite) Keep up the good work guys.

Run out of baguettes so offered a nap in its stead... not the same in anyone's mind but when we said no gravy but could we have cheese they then charged us an additional 70p for a couple of small bits of cheese. Cream tea and pavlova were fine as were the hot drinks. Would go back but avoiding extras... like a couple of pieces of cheese!

After shopping in supermarket, visited cafe for quick coffees, just one serving but he did excellent job. Cappuccino and latte were hot as ordered, was delighted to find Portuguese Tarts, which were best tasted out of Portugal. Good value at £6.40. First visit here but if those little creamy tarts are still on offer can see it becoming a regular thing.

Visited on a Monday afternoon, not overly busy aisles all clutter free and best of all no dreadful music noise, hence spent quite awhile, got everything required. Well stocked shelves and fresh fruit and veg. Make a point of calling here if in vicinity, worth it today. Used self check out, trouble free . Ample free parking available.

Called this morning for coffee with a friend. The restaurant was quite busy but didn't have to queue long. Ordered a tea cake which we asked to be toasted. We took our drinks to the table and waited for the tea cake to be served. Ten minutes later we were still waiting. Other people were served around us, so after another 5 minutes or so I went to the counter to ask about the delay, as our drinks were no longer warm. The young guy said they had been very busy with orders and would check. No offer of drinks to be refreshed. A few minutes later our tea cake arrived, however our drinks were cold and almost finished. Really not impressed. Sainsburys in general seems to have taken a downturn, with less staff around and many shelves in the main store left empty. Apparently the powers that be think this is improving customer experience. I'm sorry guys you are so wrong!

Lovely food and atmosphere. Great vegetarian options too. Recommend to everyone. Staff always nice and helpful too.

We chose to go to buy a quite expensive item here because I had some vouchers redeemed from EON as part of my paiments. Got the item and went to the checkout only to be told that they dont take vouchers. Surely they should honour vouchers if there name is on as accepting them. Thats my last visit.

After shopping on a Saturday, we have coffee and a toasted tea cake. The staff are friendly and offer great service. Their prices are also excellent. I would highly recommend stopping for a coffee break. The only negative are the lazy folk that do not clear their table.

I am a big Sainsbury's fan but this one leaves a fair bit to he desired. There are often problems with availability and quality in the fresh vegetable department, the butchery and fish counters are not particularly attractive and more often than not, there is a serious problem with the checkouts - so slow and the attendant free checkouts are often not working, like today. They really do need to pull their socks up.

I had breakfast in the cafe with friends on Saturday morning and it was the best breakfast ever. I'll be back! Thank you Saintsbury's.

Buena elección de medios calientes y fríos, con siempre lo que permite saber las calorías que contienen. Concurrida a la hora del almuerzo más los sábados, demuestra lo popular que es la mayoría de la gente. Siempre tienen una oferta especial que durará alrededor de dos semanas con un precio más bajo para esa comida. Me encanta el tostado hermoso con mucho tanto a ricos de Esmirna probado que = m en otros lugares, pero no tan sabrosa. Los precios son razonables para un restaurante supermercado y mucho mejor que las marcas y Spencer.

Sinceramente quería la sopa, pero no listo hasta tarde, un ligero dolor cuando tenías el desayuno a las 5 de la mañana. Finalmente fuimos para los "grandes", me gustó con tostadas con mantequilla, empapado en el delicioso preparado de tomate, no suavemente tan entusiasmado en el tocino que evidentemente fuertemente mientras se cocinan y transpirado sin grasa eliminada. Sabía como piel salada después de pasar una semana sin hacer nada, el golpear el gimnasio. Me vomito en la boca gracias a este tipo de su tocino, plz

got a fry asked for no tomato [just don't like them]I was at once offered something in its place staff friendly helpful servers quick food arrived a few minutes later

Me quedé asombrado cuando leí algunas de estas TripAdvisors. Si este Café es tan malo, por qué es siempre tan ocupados? ? ? Me encanta este lugar. El personal es encantador y dar un gran servicio al cliente (lo digo como gerente del restaurante). Siempre pedir patatas al horno, frijoles y queso cottage, con ensalada de frescos (en realidad no hacer queso cottage, pero siempre ir a la tienda y me dan algunos). El único inconveniente es que han reducido su personal y clientes están destinadas a clara su propia mesas (que muchos de ellos no lo que significa un montón de las mesas están desordenados. Cuando) El personal está muy concurrido, se registran en los pies, pero que todavía puedan continuar sonriendo. Los precios están muy bien, lo que hay que quejarse? ? ?

Me he parado con frecuencia aquí para café y, mientras que el servicio es a menudo lento debido a la falta de personal, el café está bien, después de todo, es difícil equivocarse con una bebida caliente. Ayer, me comí el almuerzo aquí por primera vez y la única manera que puedo describir la comida pastel comí es "bazofia superficial". Mi marido no era un poco mejor con la lasaña (también recién desde el microondas) descartarán.

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado aquí varias veces para café y bollos o pescado y patatas fritas, y por lo que es, es genial, y muy útil cuando sus compras. Es auto-servicio, pero es muy bueno, ni mucho menos.

El personal era lo suficientemente agradable. . . Limpio y ordenado. . Comida cuchara. Sirve principalmente grasienta hecho mal, pasa, no te arrepentirás. . . Mucho mejor. Sólo un hoyo parada. . .

Just visited Sainsbury's cafe for the 2nd time. First time I went was when it first opened and I wasn't impressed. Thought I would give it another go as it may have improved. Sadly it hasn't. Choice was okay cafe itself is what you would expect but the place appeared exceptionally short staffed and the poor girl that served us hadn't a clue what she was doing and hadn't worked there long. It seemed incredible that no one was there to supervise her. My wife had a baked spud or something and said it was fine. I had chips and sausage and something, it reminded me of something you got in a greasy spoon cafe in the 70's. Tea and coffee was nice but not a great experience overall.

The disabled car parking is situated at the far end of the car park,while I note that there are an abundant number of parking spaces reserved for mothers and kids they probably buy more than the elderly and disabled.I thankfully am neither disabled or elderly but if the car parking spaces were swapped around there would possibly be less over weight young mothers with obese offspring.Thank you Sainsbury for being so thoughtful.

Went in for some fish & chips on a busy Monday night, the girl on the counter had just started working there, she had no clue what to do, not her fault, she had no supervisor, or anyone to call, for help. Another lady appeared, she was lovely, but herself had just started, & was trying her best to learn on the job.The food arrived after quite a long time, over 40 minutes, it was delivered to our table by the cook, himself, he explained that they had only 3 staff, all only been working there less than 40 hours, & had been left in the lurch, with not much of a clue what to do, no supervisor or anything. The food was terrible, frozen fish, still frozen, we felt so sorry for the staff, as they were obviously trying their best, but just couldn't handle the rush. The man told us it was his last night, & he was quitting as the place was a 'nightmare.' You think Sainsbury's will all the millons in profits, they make each year, could spend some time & money training their staff. Sorry but myself & my family will never be back, hope the really nice cooking bloke, got sorted, & really did quit his job, I would never work in that mess, no matter what.Bad bad show,Sainsbury's

Great service and meal. No issue at all and would recommend to anyone for lunch. Coffee was nice too.

Is good value I had the tikka masala and was very tasty, fish and chips also looked good. Good sized portion of fish. Definitely conveniently located.

Had a very pleasant and tasty lunch here today.good value aswell.menu was quite varied and we will definitely return.

Very ordinary. It could be any supermarket cafe. There is nothing special about it - tea, coffee, cakes - the usual. No waiter service and somewhat disinterested serving staff. Fine for a quick cup of tea if you are visiting Bangor Sainsbury's but not much more.

Always disappointed in this cafe. Everything feels half hearted.To be fair I have only ever had coffee and snacks here and no hot food but that is because the snack food has been so average that it puts me off trying anything cooked. I've tried the muffins and cake several times and they have always felt like yesterdays. The scones have been hard. If the coffee was tasty i would go in just for that,,, but it's sadly not.

A place that's going to win any awards for service, food quality, cleanliness or anything else for that matter, Sainsburys Café seems to serve a captive audience of people who couldn't be bothered going elsewhere.

Stopped in here last time I went to Homebase for a quick snack and was quite pleased with everything really.Got a capuccino and a victoria sponge (something I don't often see in cafes but thoroughly enjoy) and both were very good, plenty of seating and the prices were very reasonable, not a bad place to stop if your in balloo and don't fancy/wan't KFC :p.

A friend and I went in for a light bite before shopping. The two staff members were finding it hard to cope with serving, reheating and delivering, on top of having to be asked to clear and clean tables that should have been cleared by previous customers (signs ARE there to advise customers that tables are to be cleared by the customer).When the food arrived ... (if it could be called that) ... it was presented ... all over the plates, thrown on, all the same beige colour and luke warm. The cutlery was dirty with baked on previous food, it was a lucky dip to find nearly clean cutlery and they forgot to give my friend her tea. She got it after she had finished her meal and after she asked for it.All in all, my stomach is agreeing with my review at this present time.

I've eaten here a few times, the food is good there is a nice range of sandwiches, toasties and hot food, there is also a good range of drinks and deserts. Good value for money!

Went here with my work college Benji who likes to stop in now and again for something at Sainsburys, if your looking something cheap to fill the stomach then this is the answer.

Not a bad place to eat, nothing special but you don't pay much for well cooked food. Coffee and tea are good with a good selection of buns. Shame it closes early at 7pm I think, dart

again we find ourselves hungry, at lunchtime and in reed of feeding! There was not much choice here@ Hollywood, so we popped into Sainsbury's and had a Pleasant surprise, the eating area was clean tidy and welcoming with a choice of type's of seating from Formal table and chairs to a couple of comfy leather sofas and other easy chairs, because we decided on a cooked meal it was the table and chairs for us. The meal was choosen from a good choice some oId favourites to a wider choice . Food arrived Quickly and was obviously cooked fresh, and was very good, my fish was hot, fresh and very tasty. Choice of puddings were a bit poor but the was a dairy free choice for me . So it was a good lunch, Competitive priced, and good service.

Why write a review? The staff in this cafe always go above and beyond when dealing with their customers. Friendly, helpful and simply lovely to visit after shopping!!It's a self service cafe, so you've to clear your own table, not much to ask for very reasonably priced teas, coffees and tasty treats. Today's offer - Chocolate Fudge Cake, heated with cream for £1.50.

We keep meeting friends here for coffee but to be honest the coffee isn't that great! Please change your cafe coffee sainsburys!!

This place is a favourite for my folks who like to go for a brew, some fruit toast and to catch up on some reading. I thought maybe it was just because it is cheap and very close to home but on a recent visit I can see why it's more than that.The cafe offers plenty of seating which is very comfortable but can often get very busy. The espresso coffee is good quality an the selection of hot meals and snacks are bonus in addition to the pre-packed sandwiches, salads and cakes.I think the main thing that stood out for me was the friendliness of the staff; everyone I encountered over my 2 recent visits were helpful and incredibly friendly. This is something hat my parents commented on before hand and even mentioned that after one enquiry quite a while ago, the manager still recognises them and comes over to say hello. I think it is points like that which makes 'just another supermarket cafe' into part of the community, so keep it up!

I noticed 3 staff working in the cafe and a small queue of 2 customers in front of me. Several tables were not cleared and remained uncleared until I left 20 mins later. Staff were friendly and polite but constantly ignored dirty tables just walking past them.My coffee was very lazily made. Hence my coffee was very poor. I can't comment on on the food but if the coffee and cleanliness are anything to go by I wouldn't expect much.Overall very disappointing and I won't be visiting the cafe here again.

Wasn't expecting much and they delivered on that.A hello, goodbye, thank you and a smile wouldn't go a miss.

Frequently visit sainsburys cafe for a coffee. The staff are very friendly and helpful and deserve credit as the place is always busy and they manage to stay calm, smile and treat people well. The staff are mainly of the younger generation and I have observed some customers being quite demanding but yet the staff maintain their excellent standards.

I called into Sainsburys café with my husband on Saturday & wasn’t expecting much – after all it is just a supermarket café....how wrong was I?!It had a good range of hot food & also sugary treats. I opted for their luxury hot chocolate with cream & marshmallows (£2.05) & a lemon muffin (£1.55). My husband chose a slice of victoria sponge (£2.10) & a pot of tea (£1.00). There was no queue when we got there but my hot chocolate took some time to make & a queue of 4 had formed behind me. Another staff member walked over to the counter – I thought she was going to help serve the customers but she disappeared quite quickly. I felt awful that I was holding up the queue with my drinks order but no-one complained or tutted so that was a plus! The staff member preparing my hot choc apologised for the wait which was lovely of her.The lemon muffin was sweet & moist & would certainly stand up to anything served in Starbucks, Nero or Costa. The hot chocolate was really delicious & great value for money. The total bill came to £6.70 which is an unbeatable price for 2 people.The café is very spacious with a small area to leave your trolley. There are lots of standard tables & chairs around & a few comfy sofas.I will be going back to Sainsburys café again for sure as I want to get my hands on another lemon muffin!

Coffee usually good but the service is dependent on which members of staff are on. It must be said that most are of a sunny disposition who look after customers well. A few need a personality implant but it I suppose one must expect that these days.

Fairly good food which is eatable, coffe not fantastic but serves a purpose. Cakes and pastries good.
