The Bees Knees Cafe in Fermanagh

Staff were very friendly and attentive, but the steak sandwiches were terrible (dry reheated and over peppered) not to mention the texture of the meat. On a positive note the coffee was not bad.

I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed. It’s so easy to eat healthily here and I’ve had half the menu at this stage and it has been great every time. They are a victim of their own success though as there is ALWAYS a queue to get in the door. Please think about expanding or renovating upstairs or whatever as sitting in the window seat and being watched by hungry people in the queue can lessen the experience . But full marks for friendliness quality and atmosphere

Wouldn’t recommend this cafe . Very slow service with lackadaisical staff who appear to not be interested in their customers. Sat for 30 minutes no food arrived . Member of staff said human error but I think it was lack of enthusiasm. Never return.

Amazing! Toasted banana bread is unreal. Have had toasted wraps & so so good. Really recommend this cafe 😃😃😃😃😃

We knew it would be good before we even went in as it was packed with guests! We were seated right away and we’re served water and our orders taken. It was a late lunch maybe 2 Pm. Party of four with all having something different. Each dish was excellently prepared and so delicious! I can see why the place was so popular! Ladies beside us just came in for pie and ice cream which also looked so good! We had a wrap, grilled sandwich and shared the soup with homemade bread! Portions and presentation was superb! We weren’t hungry at supper!

Today my mother and I decided to call with this lovely business to have lunch. Everyone from Enniskillen knows the Bees Knees and how good it is. But today I can't say this!. After waiting 20mins outside (which is expected and happy to do so). We got sitted and ordered our food. I ordered the veg falfal wrap. Food arrived on good time and our coffees. We'll when I received my lunch... the side salad was lovely, the crisps were soft and my wrap tasted of SALT... I continued to eat the wrap thinking... maybe its the hummus and try the falfal on it's own once again.... SALT! NO ONE asked is how our meal was the whole time we sat, and a few members of staff looked in our direction but DID NOT approach us... now I myself work in hospitality and KNOW the importance of checking customers shortly after receiving food (to ensure that all is ok)... this didn't happen so I sat... my mother's food was good and she enjoyed her meal... she finished and someone went to lift our places... still not being asked how was your meal... I stopped her and told her the falfal was not right it tastes salty and was it maybe off.... she went off yo speak to someone and came back to tell me "it was the seasoning and that it wasn't off" I replied "it's salty" ... I was told I was wrong... so I left it.... now time to pay... the manager knew what was coming... and as i am a regular I am normally greeted with a smile and pleasant response this was not the case today... she told me she had tasted my food and that I once again was wrong and that it was cumin... I responded with I know what cumin tastes like... I use it regularly... she said that you didnt tell us.... no one asked me.... she refused to do anything but take full payment... I WILL NOT be returning and WILL NOT recommending this restaurant again... very disappointed at the "customer care" and won't be back

When my partner and I moved to Enniskillen almost two years ago, this cafe was high on our list of places to visit owing to the fantastic reviews online. Suffice to say, it didn’t disappoint. The Bees Knees is just one of those places that becomes a bit of an obsession. It really does check all the boxes. It’s quaint and subtly quirky inside, with a homely touch that creates a lovely atmosphere. The friendly staff are always happy to see you and genuinely seem to care about your experience. But the star of the show is of course the food and drinks. Everything we’ve tried is out of this world. My personal favourite and go to would be the chicken, bacon, brie and cranberry toasted wrap with a side of perfectly crispy, seasoned fries. It’s legitimately one of the nicest things I’ve ever tasted. And considering the exceptional quality of ingredients used, and the sheer quantity of them, the value is outstanding. The selection of tea, coffee and desserts on offer are also excellent, especially the cakes and tray bakes. It’s all top notch. One thing I will say about the coffee, being a connoisseur of the stuff, is that they have trained baristas capable of delivering some of the best coffee in town. It’s not ‘the’ best mind you (that honour goes to FOLK) but it’s definitely up there. One slight downside to The Bees Knees is that it can sometimes be difficult to walk in and get seated. There’s often a bit of a queue to get in, which is no bad thing as it shows the sheer popularity of the place! And trust me, however long you end up waiting (usually 5-10 minutes on average in our experience) it’s well worth it. There’s a handy side window too where you can get a coffee or pastry if you’re more in the mood to grab and go. It’s a nice touch. I’ll wrap this up by saying that I’ve frequented many cafes all around the world, and I’m confident this is my favourite. Truly, I can’t praise this place enough, and it really does live up to its name.

Excellent quality of service and food. There was a queue at 2pm for the lunch service. (We were really well attended to and sat as soon as the table cleared)

We visited this week as we were in the town and fancied a bite to eat. What a great little find it was too. Great coffee, great food and spot on service. Very popular and people waiting for a table to become available. We were lucky that we didn’t have to wait. We will be back!

This our regular coffee and scone stop. No it's or buts, they serve THE best coffee and THE best scones within a 100 mile radius. The staff are well trained, great attitude, very attentive and a credit to owner Deborah. 10/10 every time!

Called in for lunch on the way home from Donegal. Had the best chicken Caesar salad EVER! Friends had the vegetarian tagine and another dish I can’t remember, but both loved theirs too. Staff were lovely and bill was reasonable.

Busy for lunch, but fast efficient service and great for food. Freshly made, desserts looked great too. I can recommend.

Great service, great food, reasonable prices (especially for someone from ROI). I felt welcomed, service was very kind and fast. I ordered veg breakfast and it was spot on.

Good food, good value, friendly staff, although jammed packed. If you are looking for a peaceful lunch, maybe not the place to go.

Was in here on Saturday and was lovely we had a scone in the morning which was lovely was so good we called back for late lunch all was so tasty. Will diffinity be back when I'm in the area.

Great food, lovely friendly staff. Definitely recommend this delightful restaurant located in the centre of Enniskillen for lunch!!

Called this morning having checked on-line for a dog friendly cafe in Enniskillen. I thought I should ask before bringing our dog in and was told that we could bring her if we would wait for one of the two tables at the window, away...

Just ok - having had food or rather coffees and croissants from their take away window - I expected good things but it was just ok if not mediocre. The main breakfast is set and can’t swap items if you don’t like tomatoes or mushrooms...

Was just driving through enniskillen and fancied a coffee and nibble. Happened across The Bees Knees and it was packed full which is always a good sign. Got a table straight away and my wife and I had the vegetable soup and we shared the...

Absolutely the best daytime food in town, so good you have to queue Friendly staff, wonderful boss and owner and their specials are often out of this world But keep quiet as it is smallish and I don’t want to have to queue too much...

This place is always busy busy which only goes to prove it has something going for it and it has. The coffee was excellent and the eats, scone etc were very tasty. Alway visit here when in Enniskillen.

The Bees Knees is easily one of the best cafés I have had the pleasure of dining in. We visited 3 times during our holiday and loved it every time! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating and always went the extra mile. Their...

Went for lunch with my mother and toddler. We both commented on how friendly the staff were. They were all so cheery and welcoming. They were very good at helping us find the best seat to accommodate my toddler. The coffee was lovely and it...

Lovely interior. Friendly staff and clean toilet. Food excellent as well - try the sticky chicken wings with honey soy sauce. Absolutely sublime.

Lovely coffee shop, and inexpensive, we had toasties and salad, with coffee, everything was really nice, staff Lovely, toilets are outside

My husband and I called in today, as strangers to Enniskillen. We were impressed by the short queue waiting for a table. We had a short wait before being seated. The server thoroughly cleaned the table and the floor before showing us to our table....

Having not visited Enniskillan in over 10 years we were walking through the centre looking for somewhere to stop for a bite to eat. So glad we chose here. Such a welcome we received, seated right away (just in time as when we left there...

We had a wonderful breakfast at this local Cafe. The breakfast was delicious, and they were super attentive to my mother who asked for a combination of breakfast which wasn't on the menu. My mocha was incredible - definitely recommend. There was a lovely buzz...

During partial lockdown I bought several takeaway coffees from window at the side. U covered scones and traybakes disolayed 'in the window' uncovered. Customers stretching over them with coat sleeves dangling onto the display. Horror . I sat inside for the first (and last) time...

Good food - limited vegetarian. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Awful music made worse by advertising! Why have any music?

Lovely food and staff really friendly. Prices also really good. I love all the bees everywhere too :)

I called in here for a coffee and a quick bite to eat and regretfully I won't back. The management clearly have no regard for Covid and the safety of their patrons & staff. Not one staff member was wearing a mask (I counted at...

I just had a cappucino and a bacon butty and both were excellent. It's a lovely place and the staff are friendly, warm and efficient. An excellent spot.

Excellent food and service. Good choice of gluten free options. The whole family enjoyed their lunch.

Excellent food, with lovely staff and a warm atmosphere. We had the chicken burger and goats cheese bruschetta which were equally amazing. The coffee was delicious and went down a treat with the scrumptious carrot cake. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

Called this morning and had the ‘Hungry Bee’ breakfast, it was spot, good quality nice breakfast. The staff were great couldn’t fault them very polite and attentive even though the place was very busy. The topping up of the the teapot was appreciated, I would...

Called here ion a rainy Sunday during a weekend break, despite having a huge sign in the window stating no mask no entry, we were beaten to the door by three unmasked hipsters, the cafe was full, however, the unmasked waiter 'greeted' us by asking...

First class, quality cuisine. Love this place when you can get a table! Their falafel is arguably the best in the North!

I always try and call in here when I'm in enniskillen. Its always busy which is a good sign. Its great for lunch or coffee and a tray bake. Its also very reasonably priced. The place is clean, nicely decorated and the staff are friendly....

Had a really nice lunch here. We just had a sandwich, cake and drink but was all very nice. Seemed very busy with people constantly in and out which is always a good sign

Came here for lunch, the place was full (always a good sign!) so we had to wait 10 minutes for a table which was no problem. Order taken quickly by lovely staff. The Cajun chicken and black garlic sambo was yummy! Would return tomorrow if...

Had a breakfast here on Sunday morning and it was absolutely gorgeous. Everything was cooked to perfection and looking around at other peoples tables everything looked amazing. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Definitely will be recommending to everyone and I can't wait to return...

Just back from a weekend in enniskillen and a trip to the ‘Bees Knees’. This place really lives up to its name. The cafe was busy and we waited around 5 minutes for space to become available (table of 6) we got seated efficiently and...

Very relaxed atmosphere and apart from one consistently surly staff member who appears disinterested, my many visits to this Café for their tasty food, is hampered by the inconsistent coffee. The owner, who inevitably can’t be there to always make her great tasting coffee, would...

This is an excellent little cafe with great food, good coffee , and friendly and efficient staff. They have a great menu to suit a wide variety of tastes, and it’s great value too. Try it out if you’re in the area.

Fantastic food at very reasonable prices. Comfortable, trendy decor with a great vibe from and amongst staff. Coffee is to die for with lots of options in food and beverages for those with allergies.

Fabulously friendly staff, great coffee in cool mugs, wonderfully fresh food. A must see trip for all the family! We visited every day on our stay in Lough Erne! Barry, Tracy, Nicholas and Genevieve

We visited midweek for breakfast and weren’t disappointed. We had a short wait for a table to come free. Staff were amazing, excellent coffee and fabulous food. I had the buttered scrambled eggs with bacon and sourdough served with a lovely tomato relish. My partner...

Despite some stiff local opposition the Bee's Knees café is the definite winner. The establishment has a cosy and snug atmosphere, the food is delicious and the staff very amiable and considerate. I have one big criticism, the place should have been open six years...

Had lunch here twice during a recent visit to Enniskillen. This is a delightful little cafe with friendly staff. The goats cheese bruschetta was especially good and the coffee was excellent. Highly recommended.

Beautiful lunch served by friendly and efficient staff We both had the steak sandwich which contained succulent and tasty with nice thin chips with a really nice sauce I then had the outstanding raspberry and lemon meringue We were both very impressed well worth a...

A great find on our first visit to Enniskillen. Beautiful food, delicious coffee and great service..

Due to the current covid restrictions so I have only used the take away. However from my experiences the restaurant is entirely justify its claim to be 'the Bees Knees'. Excellent food at reasonable prices, with a friendly staff eager to go that extra mile...

On hols in fermanagh and saw a queue for this cafe takeaway window so guessed it was a good place to stop. We were not disappointed. The children were shocked at the generous size of the loaded fries. The breakfast soda went down a treat...

Have had coffe and buns, breakfast and lunch here. The food was delicious every time and the staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend a visit

Nice quirky wee place had a couple of cappuccinos which were nice enough but in tiniest cups I ever saw a cappuccino in. My own fault, I didn't see there were large and small available and the large were a good size and the cheesecake...

Don’t go out for lunch during the week that often but my experience today has totally blown me away. The menu choice is so different here at the Bees Knees Cafe, however you can get something suitable for everyone. All food is made fresh and...

Great baking, great coffee and tasty food. Here 2 days in a row. Friendly no hassle spot. I would make it a regular if i lived near by.

Cosy cafe with a nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Food wasn't anything special, the fish chowder was under seasoned and far too creamy, scampi was massively average. The best out of a mediocre bunch was the steak sandwich and parmesan fries. If not for the 'eat...

We had scones and tray bakes which I ordered in the morning they arrived with everything jam knives and napkins they were beautiful and the tray bakes were large and made with good quality ingredients well done 10/10 will be back

Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff and lovely tea and coffee. A very cold day and it was a bit chilly. Beautiful windows but not double glazed. More heat needed.

Walked into this place today after walking through a blizzard, the staff greeted us like we were old friends, despite it being our first visit, ordered lovely hot food and it was fantastic, I had the burger, amazing, my son had the Fajita panini and...

I think this cafe beats Enniskillen other cafes with its friendly staff and tasty food. Also the lunch specials change everyday :)

Excellent all round experience. Great choice of dishes on the lunch menu which I’ve been gradually working my way through since I discovered this fab spot ,along with the daily specials . Friendly and attentive service - looking forward to returning soon!
