Food very very average for an Indian . Better to go any Indian restaurant in India with a trip advisor rating of 2 !! Correlating !! It will be the best .i guess it’s best suited to the palette for the localities and not for Indian tourists . So let’s get that right. You will see a differentiation from the time you give the order to getting the table to getting billing on time - unfortunately Tourists from India will be treated differently bkz it’s business and one has to look at it who is the cash cow ? Tourist or the localities !! So I guess it’s the right thing to do !! Cheers !!! There are a few other restaurants in the area which are really really good !! Pls look up for my reviews !!

We ordered two flat whites to go. The coffee was similarly priced to London prices but fell far short of the coffee we are used to. Tasteless!!!

Rude staff, they seem more interested in talking amongst themselves than showing any sort of interest in customers. Dirty tables, even though it wasn't busy. Cold tea Very little content to 'Panini' YUK Not sure why they think people don't notice these things. Not to be recommended.

So disappointed, have been here often as I live nearby, always enjoyed it, but today stood at counter waiting to be served or even acknowledged. They were pretty busy but the three members of staff walked passed us numerous times and not once did they even make eye contact. Eventually we asked could we take a sit, table was cleaned and we were given a menu. That was it people walked in sat at dirty tables, then walked to counter in front of everyone, their table was cleaned and they were then served, meanwhile two young girls who had been waiting at counter asked for a table and were told no there wasn’t any, two dirty tables!! We still were sitting at table waiting for our order to be taken. As still no one came we got up to leave. I spoke to girl at counter and said why we were leaving. She offered a half hearted apology, but made no effort to sort problem. Such a shame as even through all last year we have supported them as a local business. Not sure I will rush back.

This is one of our local cafes. Very pleasant staff and good food. We visit several times every week. They have continued to provide takeaway during the lockdowns. In fact, this time they have left some tables and chairs outside so you enjoy your takeaway in the fresh air. In response to a previous reviewer, the staff do set the tables and chairs out but customers are inclined to move them, so just be aware that there is an ATM outside the cafe and you might be best to move your table to keep access to the ATM clear. There is plenty of room on the footpath.

Was sitting outside in the only designated seat and table left, drinking a lovely latte. Was approached by the waitress and told that if someone was getting money out of the bank machine behind me I was to move out of the way. Very unpleasant experience and as I sat on a designated table set out by the coffee shop themselves I felt this to be highly inappropriate. If it was a problem, the table should not have been there and I should not have been made feel as if I was dishonest due to where I sat. Was it because I had a motorcycle helmet in the ground beside me ? I will not be visiting again.

Pleasant staff, lovely selection of scones and cakes and always clean. One of our favourite places for a cuppa.

I've been twice now, once for breakfast and once for lunch. It's a fairly traditional menu-Ulster Fry, sandwiches, toasties, paninis and soup, but its very well done. The food all appeared to be very fresh and homemade, and the tomato and lentil soup was particularly lovely. The staff are friendly and its a comfortable place to visit. There is on-street parking around it so its easy to get to-definitely recommended.

Called in with my wife for a brew Sunday afternoon 28th April. Great selection of food available and both the stew and the pancakes chosen were tip top. Staff were attentive and chatty, despite being busy. This was my first visit and I am looking forward to calling again.

I’ve been visiting this cafe off and on for years. Service is always good and the owner Peter goes out of his way to make everyone so welcome. His manager Gerry also continues Peters fine work. There’s an extensive array of traybakes and scones and I’ve had a few breakfasts that were washed down with some great coffee. Best in Ballyholme.

My wife and two daughters called into Suburban yesterday following a walk along the beach for a coffee, my daughter t went to pay for said coffees and it was then she noted that her bank card was missing probably dropped somewhere along the walk , My wife and other daughter agreed to stay and have their coffee while my other daughter went home to retrieve her purse, unfortunately this was totally unacceptable by the staff one of whom was incredibly rude and refused to provide the coffees until the money was retrieved approx ten minutes later, this is not a slight on the other female member of staff with dark hair who was very helpful . Its worth noting a couple of things this was not three course meals rather three cups of coffee in the scheme of things costing the retailer PENCE if lord forbid my wife and daughters decided to do a runner, for those unfamiliar with Ballyholme this is not a crime zone rather a middle class idyll on the outskirts of Bangor and like us frequented primarily by locals , So REALLY SUBURBAN SURELY YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS , suffice to say we wont be back .

Been twice over recent days. First day just for coffee and a scone. Coffee was very good and scone was massive. Reasonable prices. Friendly and efficient staff. Second time was for a small lunch which was piping hot and served quickly. Again reasonable.Always busy and close to Ballyholme beach.

Where do I begin. Called past after a lovely walk on the beach, sat inside as the outside area looked like a war zone. 4 members of staff standing talking to each other and flirting with some random. After a significant wait, approached the waitressing staff and there was an attitude that I got out of my seat after 20 minutes of waiting. Kids food was served first, not closely followed by our own. After lunch we decided to have soft whip ice creams, like actual milk, falling off the cones. £40 later for 4 toasted sandwiches and ice creams with shocking customer service, we won’t be back.

Can't comment on the food or service as we were told to take a seat on arrival and they would come over to take order however we were completely ignored we were noticeable as we're the only people inside. Then we watched as two other tables arrived and we're served immediately. while we sat for twenty minutes looking at the three young members off staff to acknowledge us. Got up and left very unhappy.

There aren't many coffee shops in Ballyholme but there a lot in Bangor as a whole so, if you're in Bangor, you'll not go out of your way to go to Suburban. On the other hand, if you.'re in Ballyholme, it's a safe pair of hands. Middle of the road sort of place with free papers and a 'stay as long as you want' atmosphere. The fry was ok, 6/10 on the Ulster Fry No1 scale. I didn't want beans (an English affectation) and the best places offer something else instead. They didn't. Prices about average for what Ballyholme aspires to be.

Visited Suburban with my children- they had hot chocolate and scones and I had a coffee and bacon sandwich. The staff didn't smile or say hello and were surly throughout our visit. The scones were very dry and seemed to be stale.

I work just up the hill opposite the coffee shop, this place is good to come and work. The coffee is great, there are few refills too. The free WiFi is fast and reliable. The scones are HUUUGE! Well worth a visit.

The coffee at Suburban is excellent and that's a big deal from this fussy coffee lover...!I'm a regular having coffee to go, sitting in and having breakfast every so often. The staff are friendly and helpful. As a regular, I rarely have to ask for what I want as they know already...love that...Highly recommended.

Really great coffee shop with a nice vibe in Ballyholme. They best coffee around served by great friendly staff always consistently excellent, true barrista style.we popped in for a coffee today on our regular walk and were tempted by the freshly made sausage rolls, they were the best i have ever tasted.There are many tasty sweet treats that we have also tried, really good scones and cakes that are all baked in house.Also great for breakfast and lunch with daily specials and varied toasties, paninies,stew and soups. We are very lucky to have such a gem on our doorstep,highly recommend the coffee and the food here which is cooked and served by lovely people.

Think we all know why a business just works cash only. Is it a tax thing? Maybe not. Food is ok they would need to step it up a gear as there is so many great place to grab coffee and tray bakes in Bangor.

Happened to be passing by on Sat lunch time & stopped for some lunch. Plenty of menu choices, with extra daily specials. I opted for the homemade stew & fresh wheaten, it was gorgeous & went down well on a cold miserable day! Lots of sweet temptations too & staff very friendly. Will definately be back soon.

We went here on a wintry day in February 2015, and overall had a nice experience.The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere pleasant and welcoming. The food is nice/good quality and fresh - they do a wide variety of slushies (kiwi?!), fresh scones, traybakes, coffees, tea, hot chocolates. They also have some sandwiches, waffles, pancakes.I'd definitely recommend to anyone passing through Ballyholme/in Bangor wanting a spot of lunch, it's a friendly and welcoming place.

Beautiful inn facing the sea with an incredible view and a cozy Pub-type restaurant. Ideal for families since for each adult maximum two, they give away the Kids menu that is super well served and with fresh products. Burgers and fried fish, calamari highly recommended. For 4 adults and 1 child with beer, we spent only 63 euros.
