saints cafe & deli in Down

We stopped here on our way to Downpatrick and Castle Ward (the Winterfell filming location). The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making our visit even better. We tried dishes from both the regular and special menus. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, and the coffee was just as great. We couldn’t resist taking some desserts to-go for later—they were delicious too! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Brilliant spot for really good food .. best in town .. live music on Saturdays too .. must stop if you're anywhere close

Great little cafe in Saintfield. Good quality and value food, good service, friendly staff.

Cannot recommend this cafe highly enough. 5 star for customer service, food, atmosphere & choice. Had the home made leek & potato soup and it was amazing.

Such a lovely, dog friendly cafe in the middle of Saintfield. Great service, fantastic food, really welcoming atmosphere and even live music - will be back soon!

Lovely spot in saintfield. Always great service and greeted with a smile. Food is really tasty and the staff are lovely.

Breath of fresh air in Saintfield! Groovy rock- themed cafe with great food and service….and music!

Such a little gem of a find. After a lovely walk in National Trust Rowallane with my two dogs we called in and got a lovely welcome. It was quite full but we got a centre seat. The lady brought my dogs a sausage each so they're definitely a fan, they rewarded well behaved dogs. We did get the dirty look from an older woman for having the dogs in but tough, I think it's great that Saints is catering to all. Every country I've been in has an abundance of dog friendly cafes/restaurants/hotels. I got French toast and lathered it with the ample syrup I was given. Bacon was fantastic quality. Will definitely be back. The guy let out a few tunes while cleaning tables. I think I've found my new wee spot to call in to.

Visiting from Canada was told to go try the food . Was not disappointed. The food portions are great the food tastes great . Service was fast and friendly . So good went back again for breakfast.

Located on the main street in Saint Field it's ideal for a breakfast or main meal. Excellent staff the best friendly service you can get. The food was brilliant. I ordered the full Irish breakfast and admired the album covers decor around it. Prices are top notch if your passing through Saint Field as I was pull up there is parking in the street and get yourself in there you won't be disappointed. Thanks for a great time to all the staff...

lovely decor and music, food was nice and served quickly - very nice staff. very vegetarian and vegan friendly

First time and will definitely be back. Great food and lovely friendly staff.

Popped in for a coffee with a friend yesterday. What a lovely place. Very welcoming and the good looked great too. We'll be back

OK place needs a good spruce up, but staff excellent and food just ok

Had fry. Usually a high standard but haven't been in years. Bacon was burnt and cold. Sausages were under done. Service was excellent but I will go again and may have a different experience. It's a lovely cafe and I hope I haven't been too critical.

Great atmosphere warm, inviting. Great porridge!

Nice food ,keenly priced pleasant staff, we usually have breakfast here my wife loves the French toast with bacon and maple syrup (lovely) although a small cafe we always get a table.

Called in on Friday on my way from Bangor to Ballynahinch very friendly people and good decor would recommend

Had a great fry at a reasonable price, it is small but cosy

Lasagne was absolutely delicious. It didn’t touch the sides on the way down. Service was really good also. Will definitely be back.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff genuinely go above and beyond. Loved the quirky theme and music! Coffee was perfect and made my mum a special order lunch. We didn't know it was dog friendly and we were chatting about our pups and they sent us home with a wee snack box for them. I just wish Saints Cafe was closer to Carrickfergus. Keep up the good work. Will definitely be back again ☕️

Amazing food, so cosy on the inside, a little cold but the staff were lovely and so so accommodating I couldn’t recommend it more❤️

We had the salad bowl and a prawn open, both were really good and sufficient for a lunchtime treat

We go here nearly every week for lunch and it’s always a very high standard and the staff are very good. I brought my toddler in on one of his first outings and he loved it

My wife and I visited Saints just yesterday and really enjoyed our belly bursting fry.. was delicious, and a proper potion tea which you easily get 4 or 5 cups if tea from...they have a substantial menu to choose from..great atmosphere very friendly staff, nice clean and airy cafe, and the service was pretty prompt...if this standard is maintained I highly recommend Saints.. and wish Robin and his staff every success.. jmcb

Had heard many good things about this place but had never called in, was passing through Saintfield yesterday and though we would give it a try. Unfortunately the bacon was burnt and had clearly been heated up, one very small sausage on top of a chewy soda. Coffee was tasty but served lukewarm which was disappointing. Café had a nice vibe and whilst the server could have been friendlier it was a nice place to sit in. Will maybe try it again one day just in case it was an off day.

Saints does Sandwiches, paninis, toasties and wraps with good choice of fillings. Coffees, tea, smoothies etc. Very friendly staff and prices are reasonable

Best coffee I’ve had. Has to be the best addition to Northampton in awhile. I love the cocktails, vibe and service

Ok, so thought about a review that was reflective and honest, myself, wife and 2 yr old, Granny, Granda and G/daughter were waiting on number 3 to come out of school, got parked right outside which was good, the high chair was readily available, the service was first class, the soup combo was great value and very filling, my only criticism and I have no wish to offend was the lack of kiddies food, you know the usual, sausage, beans, etc, maybe something to consider, no complaints

Another stonking soup from Saints. Cream of vegetable. Superb wheaten bread to go with it. Just what you need on a cold crisp winter day!

Coffee good food good unusual coleslaw made with spring cabbage. Slow service. Staff friendly. Not a bad place to stop off.

Called in for food after a few hours furniture shopping. Absolute starving. The owner said no lunch available. Told them we were hungry but no.- couldn't even do us a sandwich. !!! We have just moved to the area and had been a few times before but will not be back. We headed on up the street to Jacksons where we were made more than welcome and got food no problem. What sort of an food outlet which is making most of no lockdown actually turns customers away !! It was only 2:55 on a Saturday and they advertise being open till 4:30

Gorgeous breakfast friendly service highly recommended

Good coffee and pastry so good!!

Excellent food at reasonable prices and great service, what more could you want.

Great food and friendly welcome

Had a lovely takeaway breakfast along with a friend who had delicious French toast with bacon and maple syrup.. Would highly recommend a sit in visit when it reopens and sample the freshly homemade tray bakes, sandwiches and soups..

Quaint wee place. Very busy with carryouts.Staff very friendly. I had chicken, stuffing and cranberry sandwich. GEORGE had a chicken wrap..very tasty.

Visitor passing through, place was recommended by Central Motorhomes out the road, staff very friendly and helpful, food was top notch, I'll be back :-)

Well stopped for lunch. Found a parking space just outside. Found a table and menu delivered. Selected soup and a panini came quickly. Soup was certainly hot. Panini was also tasty and as ordered. Small seating area but appear to have plenty of locals dropping in for takeaway.

Brilliant little place with a real country menu, from coffee and tray bake to full roast dinner. It's all served in record speed and you're not rushed to leave either.

It was a bit of a disappointing visit today. I ordered a flat white, but it had no head on it at all and was too hot to lift the glass it came in. The French toast and bacon was fine, but it came with golden syrup not maple, not a major problem, I just prefer maple. What I really didn't like was that it came with a dressing of green leaves, tomato and lots of red onions with vinaigrette dressing. I hate onions and would normally ensure that there aren't any in the dish before I order, but I wasn't expecting them to be with french toast and syrup.

Great cafe and good gluten free choices!

Nice place for a catch up over coffee. Staff are friendly, cafe is clean and tidy.

Very friendly and welcoming and accommodating for my baby granddaughter

Lovely little cafe and great atmosphere about it. The staff were very friendly and a good choice of food and gluten free options also. Would recommend to everyone to give it a try as you won't be disappointed. Well done guys 👌

Scones like no others. A must visit cafe.

Good coffee and great sweet tray bakes for afternoon tea. Located in the heart of Saintfield village

Good tasty friendly clean place

Have never reviewed before bit this warrants one a great place to eat in Saintfield, now go on a regular basis and food is always consistantly good. Great selection of traybakes and scones and all were homemade. A little treasure indeed

Very friendly and foods excellent.Will be back!

Prices okay, friendly staff however some food may involve microwaving. This is a nice looking boutique cafe in central Saintfield. It's well located in the centre and has a nice ambience. We ordered a chicken and stuffing toastie. The edge of the bread was so hard that it was almost inedible. I can only explain the texture as having been toasted and then heated in the microwave. Really not pleasant. The desserts seem quite nice, and the fifteen was good. Coffee and tea were well prepared and tasting. The bathroom facilities could do with a little attention. The flush was broken and tape wouldn't stop running.

New faces running it now, looked after us well, prices not to bad, will call again 😊

Lovely wee cafe in the centre of Saintfield. Stopped off here before travelling down to the mourne mountains and had an enjoyable breakfast and coffee. Friendly staff too and at a reasonable price.

We called in here for a coffee and we were very pleased with the service, staff and goods. It is a very small cafe with only a few tables but they do takeaway coffee, so you can still indulge. Two "Americano" coffees and scones came to £7.80. For such a small town café we thought £2.25 for an "Americano" was expensive, even though it was good coffee, but with the scones costing £1.65 each the overall bill was reasonable. We would call in here again if in the area.

Friendly and great food. Will be back.

Called in for coffees to break a journey. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were very friendly. The cappucinos were nice and the traybakes possibly the largest caramel squares I have ever seen!

Lovely spot for lunch staff very friendly

Got a sandwich which was nice but was looking a fry

Great home cooking for a light lunch or a big meal come and try it

I had the chicken noodle soup and it packed a punch in terms of content and flavour. Very friendly atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend a visit.

Food and coffees were amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and visit this place more often. 👍👍👍

Quaint small cafe in the historic village of Saintfield. Fabulous soup and sandwiches combos for eat in or takeaway. On most Saturdays there will be light music entertainment.

Gorgeous!! Recommend the french toast and bacon 😊

Love this place The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Great coffee and cake!

Called in here today with husband for lunch. Husband ordered the special Chicken and Chrozio casserole that was advertised with crusty bread, however my husband asked for this without bread, ( he doesn't even eat bread) and I ordered the soup and sandwich combi. I asked could I have a toasted sandwich with my soup and the guy who took our order, I asked for the toasted sandwich with mustard and no butter, only to be told there was not mustard. When our food arrived my husband was served his casserole... with crusty bread and I was served my toasted sandwich with garnish, no soup. I assumed my soup would follow shortly however it never arrived. ( In hindsight I should have realised I wasn't going to get the soup as the cutlery I received was a knife and fork and no spoon. Anyway we finished our food and when I went to pay the bill I informed the server who was on the till ( the same guy who took our order) that I didn't receive my soup as he was about to charge me for this. When I informed him I didn't get my soup he told me he forgot about it and apologised. Overall the food was average but service could be better especially given that the server wrote the order but still got it wrong and no mustard in a deli / cafe is kind of a basic condiment to have. Was disappointed in visit and would not be in a hurry back.

Had lovely stacked pancakes here today.....delish......

Called in for coffee and scones. Lovely home made scones and good coffee. Lunch and sandwich menu looked good.

Yummy food, helpful friendly staff and shabby-chic decor.

Had a great lunch here recently. The food selection on offer was brilliant and the lady who served us was so friendly and helpful,

Popped in here with a friend for a nice breakfast. Pleasant and nice friendly staff on hand. Zero issues and a free coffee top up!! Will be back!

I only popped in for tea and a scone. Staff and service was very good. Very attentive lady who served me. Good ambience.

Delicious fresh food and lovely staff

Best quality and varied food in town. Friendly staff. Homely. (Thanks for the takeout!)

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff and delicious scones.

I love nearby and pop in regularly. They do great lunches with a wide selection of deli items. Great for takeaway lunch too. Only criticism is the coffee is a bit bitter for me, but that's just personal preference.

I'll be visiting again. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and the food is great. I have been a couple of times now

Stopped here by chance and it was wonderful.....there was nothing on the menu to suit a vegan but they went out of their way to make sure I had something.....really brilliant.

Amazing fresh and lovely food, really friendly staff!

Super friendly, super breakfast, lovely spot.... I highly recommend!

Food is always good and a warm welcome guaranteed from lovely, helpful staff 😊

I met with a client this morning and for somewhere different, we tried Saints - and we're so glad we did.

Always good. Great care taken over menu and regular baked items. There's a passion to provide something special.

Good food - se had tasty toasties. Good staff ,- friendly and efficient. Decor lacks coordination and the place could do with some heat. Hopefully the new owners will sort those points in which case I would up my rating to 4 stars.

Lovely cafe, Good simple but nice menu, Food is lovely, Very clean, staff are fantastic. A credit to saintfield 😊

Brilliant coffee made the way you like

A wonderful place to eat, relax and watch the world go by. I'll be back.... Staff, food and location great. I would not hesitate to recommending it.

Great atmosphere and lovely choice of drinks and treats

Called in for a warm up, but my hot chocolate lacked chocolate and heat. Sweet was OK, reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere, small and quaint.

Had a lovely breakfast here, very friendly staff and great food. After breakfast I also ordered a sandwich for lunch to carry out, the sandwich was excellent as well. This is a busy place and I can see why, great food at moderate prices!

Just love the coffee in this place and tried one of their caramel squares last week. I can honestly say that it was the nicest one I have ever had. The caramel tasted like fudge, it was to die for. The staff are always nice and love their flat white coffees.

Great place for lunch or a snack

I was meeting a friend here for coffee and found it a really delightful place. I ordered a latte and it was just delicious, lovely creamy head and great flavour. The staff made the experience all the nicer as they were all so pleasant and helpful. The menu isn't massive but it all looked good. They also do nice tray bakes. I'll definitely be back.

Friendly staff and delicious food. Served in a warm atmosphere.

Wonderful Café in Saintfield! Owners & staff were very friendly & welcoming & the food was fantastic! Great coffees, fresh & homemade scones, desserts, salads, sandwiches & more! Don't miss this little GEM of a café! LOVED IT!

What a gem of a cafe. The food was very tasty and you could tell it was all homemade and fresh. I'll certainly be back for more
