The Green Cat Bakery in Limavady

We had a disappointing experience that could have been improved significantly by the host’s actions. Initially, the host informed the group in front of us that there would be a 15-minute wait, and we patiently waited. When that group was seated, we expected to be next, but another party was seated ahead of us. To avoid being overlooked again, we chose to sit inside. However, the host approached us and stated that we could not cut in line. We explained that we were behind the group that had just been seated and ahead of the other guests. The host claimed she did not remember speaking to us, despite having addressed me directly earlier. It was clear that we were distinguishable from the other guests. She seemed frustrated and managed to find us a table. A few minutes later, she returned to clarify that it was one of her colleagues who had spoken to us initially and that she had been in the restroom at that time. She said it was the "other blonde" that we spoke to. She herself was not blonde and was the only one seating people the whole time.

Nice tasty, well seasoned food. Great coffee and wonderful attentive service!

We called in for a coffee and lunch really nice atmosphere the food is great and service fabulous,

Went here for breakfasts. Awesome food and service! Highly recommend this place.

Super place and cakes/ pastries are out of this world! You can understand why it's so busy lol

amazing find in eglinton. great coffee and although i had no plans for breakfast, i couldnt resist!

Oh I wish this place was in Cork. Unreal food. I just love it. 3 times ive been here and its wow. The queues speak for themselves.

Superb food, amazing baked goods and super friendly and accommodating staff. Can't fault it. I had the breakfast tacos and, oh my word, they were absolutely delicious, best thing I've eaten in a while. 3 massive tacos, enough for 3 people but I wolfed the lot!

Great food, great service! 11/10!

Excellent cafe , very good food and treats and service is fantastic, highly recommend

Never disappoints! Excellent staff, food and atmosphere!

Lovely place. Nice people and nice food.

Very popular spot, so I had to wait for a table. Thankfully, it wasn't long. Home-made scones were lovely. Definitely recommended. The other baked goods looked lovely too and people were taking some home.

Apple pie is the best I have tasted

One of the best brunches I’ve had in a long time!

Stopped along the way to pick up some bakery items. Honestly the best raspberry scone I've had in Ireland to date. It was packed and I can see why. One tray being delivered to a table looked delicious.

Superb food. Wonderful ambience. Very busy establishment which is a testament to the quality of their food.

Absolutely packed and buzzing and easy to see why! Lovely food options very well presented. See photos for evidence 😍

Fantastic food and service, the staff were amazing, which made, my vist fantastic, very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and delicious vegetarian breakfast

Very friendly staff and delicious food.What more could you want!

Unreal food as usual. The selection of bakery goods are amazing!!!

Lovely cafe to have breakfast. The service was great and the food was as great.

Always love visit here with grandchildren, nice food ,good staff ,friendly ,but v busy from 11am until 3pm .home baking special very tempting .

Clare created the most beautiful wedding cakes and dessert table for our wedding day. She catered for all our guests with dietary requirements and allergies, and everything was done beautifully, both aesthetically and taste. Thank you so much!

Immediate down side to me was that we were sat facing toilet just a few feet from our table, and toilet in full view while unoccupied. Toilet just beside uncovered food and also close proximity to kitchen.

Busy place! Very popular , always have to wait for a table but the queue moves fast. The crispy chicken flatbread is delicious! Huge portion, comes with chips and coleslaw for £12.50, really tasty! I love the Green Cat but this particular visit annoyed me, I was there with another person and my baby, the two adults both had a main meal, coffee and cakes and for the baby I asked for one slice of toast, nothing on it just plain. The charged me £2.30 for the slice of bread!!!!!! That’s dearer than a loaf would be! I couldn’t believe they charged anything at all seeing as the adults were ordering so much. High chairs aren’t great here for younger babies, suited to older babies over 1 year maybe more. Left a bad feeling , might be while before I’m back again

Fantastic home made bakery and food

Came in for lunch and left with two boxes of cakes! What a wonderful spot!

Excellent fast service great choice of bakes.place was packed which says it all.

This is the cafe by which all others are measured. Bit pricey for a cafe but the food is a cut above both as sit in service or takeaway baked goods. Quaint decor and lovely service. Very busy which speaks to its quality I suppose

This bakery is heaven for me. All the baked goods looked divine. I had white chocolate and raspberry scones both visits and they were delicious. Service is excellent and I would come here everyday if I lived in Derry.

Great little place, huge selection of cakes, pastries etc.

Great fresh food and lovely coffee.

Great little cafe/bakery with delicious breakfast & wide selection of baked goods. Very tasty. It’s very popular, they have seating both indoor and outdoor.

Amazing food. A bit of a wait but well worth it! Recommend the veggie quesadillas

Fantastic and efficient service, we were seated immediately and although obviously cooked fresh to order it came quickly. Choice was great and food was delicious. Personable and friendly staff added to the positive experience. We are looking forward to returning

Recently spent 5 days in Eglinton. On our first morning we went to the Green Cat cafe for breakfast and WOW were we impressed. Staff were wonderful friendly and efficient. The variety of food was incredible. Our orders were taken and arrived freshly prepared within a few minutes. While waiting we enjoyed the beautiful art that adorns the walls all painted by Stuart husband of Claire the cafe's owner. Our breakfast s arrived and we're beautifully presented. They were the best breakfast s we have had anywhere. While everything was fantastic, we would have to give special mention to the French fried toast absolutely fantastic. The scones and cakes on offer are also wonderful. Needless to say we had breakfast there every morning and sampled most that was on offer. Well worth travelling for. Joy Liam & John

Lovely place for lunch or brunch. Good food (generous portions) with vegetarian options. Good coffee and delicious cakes.

Lovely place for lunch or brunch. Good food (generous portions) with vegetarian options. Good coffee and delicious cakes. It does get busy so give them a ring to reserve a table

Beautiful setting, fantastic portions, great service at affordable prices.

Love this little cafe. Good food, nice staff

Just amazing ! The atmosphere, the staff, the food.. we have been going here for years and we plan to continue to do so.

Sausages were a little under cooked for my taste and poached eggs whites were a little under

Fantastic little place to eat with great food and service in a cosy rural setting...

Welcoming friendly staff. Nice setting. Food was excellent. Well priced.

Had vegan salad. Brilliant. Great wee place.

Great brunch / lunch today at the Green Cat Bakery! Nice all day breakfast option and nice outdoor eating space. Amazing selection of homemade cakes/ pastries etc to eat on or to take away. Highly recommended

Great spot in Eglinton. Food is amazing. Coffee is also great. 👌

Just wanted to write and thank the staff at The Green Cat for their kindness today, my Mum who is 90 (soon to be 91) and now walking with sticks, wanted to take me out for lunch and there was nowhere to park near outside so I went into the cafe to see the set up and a lovely member of staff said for me to double park, beep horn and she would come out and assist my Mum in. I had my dog with me so couldn't sit inside we sat on a table but it was especially warm today and she moved a table outside so we could sit in the shade, she got my dog water without me asking and was just an angel!. Lovely attentive service, amazing vegetarian food, such a wonderful find, good coffee and even sausages for the dog. I had a beautiful goat's cheese salad with walnuts and pears it was so tasty. Mum managed a toasted sandwich and loved it. A real gem of a place and fab staff.

The best scones I have tasted especially the cherry ones.

Going to make this a regular haunt when I'm in the area. Great wee spot. Not the usual greasy fry and the staff where very helpful. Thankyou

Beautiful place for a coffee with a great selection of food and snacks on the menu.

My daughter ordered Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea, it was amazing. Excellent value loads of choices. Sandwiches, Scones and lots of cakes and desserts. We had lots left to enjoy later on this evening. Also ordered cupcakes they were amazing. We ordered for 4 people and were stuffed with lot’s left to enjoy. It was absolutely amazing well done Green Cat, well organised on collection no hassle. Will definitely order again, don’t hesitate to try it.

Such a great place! Best vegetarian breakfast I've had in a very long time, and a wonderful selection of cakes... the raspberry white chocolate scone was delicious. The service is remarkably friendly and efficient despite how busy it was. Wish I lived nearer!

Great place to eat out of,staff very friendly food is gorgeous

Popped in for after School treat for Grandaughter, great place, good choice options, really tasty food, well presented, and good friendly service. Would highly recommend!

Delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere

Great little spot, good coffee and breakies were beautiful. Kids said best pancakes ever

Cafe was cold but we were there at opening time staff are lovely, menu amazing, baked goods were yummy, personally dont like the taste of the sausages but the rest good quality

Beautiful place to go, great food, lovely staff and lgreat takeaway bakes. You always feel welcomed when you go in xx

I don’t think I’ve ever had a brunch breakfast like that ever. The quality of food was amazing and the presentation was just espectacular. The customer service was excellent and Kerry is the soul of such a wonderful place. Thanks again for the amazing food and atmosphere.

Excellent food in great surroundings and very friendly staff would recommend it to anyone who is looking for good food and bakery.

We sat outside on a November afternoon because, although it was 6 Celsius, we were well wrapped up and it is a sun trap. I had a carmel square and my wife had a slice of poppy seed cake both were delicious, as was the coffee. The staff could not have been more helpful.

Very friendly staff n best apple tart n real cream (not a squirt from a can!) I've had in years , keep it up girls!

Excellent variety... great ambience... staff very friendly... efficient service. Thanks

Excellent food. Ulster fry was very good as was the avocado on toast with 2 perfectly cooked poached eggs. The choice of cakes and scones was outstanding... Wish I lived nearby! Well worth a visit.

Called here while working in the area, certainly not disappointed. I had the French toast and it was great. Good portions and good service. Will certainly call again.

I popped in for a takeaway lunch for my Mum and I. Chicken sandwiches,raspberry and while chocolate scones and some st Patrick's Day cup cakes. Totally scrumptious and such a treat. The service I received was courteous and attentive.

What a fantastic treat! Everything looked so delicious, that it was very difficult to actually make a choice, but the cinnamon swirls turned out to be a great decision. We will definitely be back when in the area again.

By far one of the nicest places I’ve ever eaten! The presentation was beautiful and the food was just delicious. I would HIGHLY recommend visiting here. Slightly pricey but you pay for what you get honestly.

fantastic range of cakes, and their best is the very large cinnamon rolls which sell out hot cakes ! Always busy and buzzing

Claire and her team at the green cat bakery recently made our wedding cake and did the most amazing job not only did it look perfect but the taste was INCREDIBLE . Thankyou Claire and the team ❤

The green cat is one of those places that you will want to visit again and again. I've been here sit in and I often take away. Currently with restrictions they are limited to takeaway but this in no way hinders the quality of their food. Their scones... Are simply delicious not to mention ginormous. Their cinnamon swirls are to die for but again huge. They have a great breakfast menu which we have had to sit in. What I also love about it is how friendly the staff are. Chat away with face masks on making it a delightful experience. They also serve Suki tea including my favourite Belfast brew. If you are going here for a tea and a bun.. Yes it might be a smidge more expensive that a chain bakery or cafe but you cannot fault them for their service their quality their cleanliness or the experience ( when you can sit in) Overall highly recommend ( my lockdown gains are purely down to their delicious raspberry and white chocolate scones and amazing brownies)

Everytime I come here the food is incredible. From the pancakes to the breakfasts to the toasties to the chips to the cakes. Everything is extremely tasty and I have never been let down. It's myself and my partner's "go to" location when we fancy breakfast/lunch even if it is a 15/20 mins drive outside of town. Keep up the good work GCB :)

Called here with friends last week, food was nice, we all had burgers and chips.My friend found a big hair in her chips and immediately returned it to the waiter and they brought a fresh portionWe found the tables were very close together and felt very uncomfortable with the lack of social distancing.

I liked The Green Cat Bakery even though I got lunch rather than a traybake or donut the food was still good. Excellent value for money because everything was fresh and lovely. I definitely think it is worth going to.

Pre-Covid I would have gave 5 stars but today was a very uncomfortable experience. We phoned ahead to book a table thinking it would mean being guaranteed a social distancing table....unfortunately not. I understand the weather doesn't help, but there was a queue the length of the room between the tables leaving no space at all, leaving our party of 4 feeling unsafe. I feel if a few tables were removed to allow for a takeaway queue and payment at the table for customers eating in would make it much safer and more enjoyable.

Went in for lunch coffee when waiting for bus to Limavady Wasn’t sure what I wanted due to timings etc but got no help from staff

Been here a few times get things for a take away. The sign says ‘collection only’ but they do over the counter orders. Usually the staff are nice here but last two times I’ve been I have felt like my custom has annoyed them. When I approach they have said both times ‘what is it you want’ which isn’t very welcoming, I wanted to have a little look through the window to see what they had but I felt I had to take whatever I could see. They wanted me gone very quickly and didn’t try to sell other things. I know things are hard with COVID but I was outside, no one was in the que, so I think the staff could take a little more time to be nice. I won’t be back.

Had breakfast one day and lunch another day great vegan, vegetarian options, great coffee, cakes look amazing but have not yet tried, always busy,

Excellent menu choice , wonderful fresh produce, lovely selection of sweet treats and all for a reasonable price ! We will be making this a regular haunt!

had an appointment in AAH after which I treated myself to a lovely breakfast at the green cat bakery - we both had a lovely meal staff was so friendly - used the toilets which were lovely and clean - will have to visit again as the traybakes look so lovely - would highly recommend a visit

First visit today with mum dad and sister. Landed at 11am on a Tues morning and there was 1 free table! Busy spot. But easy to see why.Lovely interior. Bright. Service was spot on. Staff very friendly. Good selection on the (breakfast til 12pm) menu. Good choices for vegan alternatives.We were all happy with our food choices. bacon eggs and toast (x2), avocado sourdough and eggs royale, tea (x2), latte and cappuccino, then 4x scones and 4x traybakes to take away, all in was £48.50.Recommended. Def worth a call in.

This recently refurbished cafe (much better seating arrangements) has maintained its good standard of meals, cakes and buns. Always busy so service can be a little slow at times

On a recent visit to the north west we were passing through the village of Eglinton when we decided to stop for lunch. Parking in the first available space on the main street we found ourselves outside this quaint little cafe. What a stroke of luck. We thankfully were given the last available table. All 4 of us settled on different main courses and we all agreed the food was excellent. The cakes, buns and sweets on offer looked divine (apparently all made in house) but we were too stuffed to try any of them. Good food is all very well but it isn't all a cafe like this needs. Staff are a huge part of a successful business and the staff on duty were all very friendly and efficient and all were very keen to make sure we were pleased with our food.When we were leaving approx 8-10 people were waiting for tables which is always a good sign. Our son has recently moved to the area so hopefully this won't be our last visit to the Green Cat and next time I'm leaving room for some of those cakes. We cant recommend this fantastic little cafe highly enough so if you find yourself in the area as we did go ahead and treat yourself.

The staff are always friendly, the food is consistently good. Food is always fresh, good variety of menu, buns are relish. Definitely worth a visit. 😀

Found this place today....and delighted we decided to pop in for lunch....we had a chicken quesadilla and the goats cheese, walnut and pear salad and both went down a treat...speaking of treats, we finished off lunch with something sweet, all home made and delicious....the staff were friendly and attentive.....we will be back...to sample all of the other tempting dishes I saw being served up..

Always buzzing food always good staff helpfulWhat’s not to enjoy seating inside and out very popular spot the sweet treats exceptional always and an array of local food products in sale is a bonus if you want to buy local would recommend this place to all

We had 2 toasted sandwiches and they were delicious very friendly and professional staff a pleasure to go into

Been here twice now and both times were amazing. Although I haven’t tried them the cakes look amazing. Packed out at lunchtime which shows how good it is. If you’re in the area give it a go. So far I’ve had the crushed avocado on sourdough with poached egg then today I had the quesadilla which is a good portion and reasonable for the quality of food.

Really good. They need to put menus and eating times up somewhere though so just trying to be helpful.

Waited a full hour for a salad and toastie. Customer service is non existent. Customers who came in after us got their food first (don’t know if this had anything to do with them knowing the staff!). When our food finally arrived I found a hair on my bread. Food was lovely even though we did have to wait an hour. So if you could hire more staff to work in the kitchen actually cooking the food and seriously work on your customer service skills then I suggest more visitors like myself from outside of the area would return.

Found this lovely little bakery and restaurant last year by accident and felt it a must to return again this year when in the area.

We were very impressed with the cakes Green Cat Bakery made from our wedding. They were beautiful, delicious, and decently priced. The scones they have on hand are also amazing.

Had a lovely lunch. Just that little bit different but a good variety of choice. Took sourdough bread toasted with goats cheese and caramelised onion - yummmmy. Great wee buzz about the place to

We stopped off for breakfast whilst driving the Causeway Costal Route. A charming little cafe with a great selection of cakes and lovely fresh scones. Fresh soda bread and homemade granola. Good selection for kids too- daughter enjoyed her pancakes with Nutella. We bought a sourdough loaf to take with us.

Beautiful cafe- friendly staff and delicious food. Great variety for both lunch and breakfast. Always really busy at lunch time so best to come a little bit earlier. 😊😊😊

Visited today for the second time. Was there about a fortnight ago for brunch and had a lovely breakfast of toast, scrambled egg and sausages. Bread was lovely and thick with real butter. All in all, our first experience was good. The cafe is small and compact, with very little room for moving around.

I was in here last with with a couple of friends. What a place, great food, great coffee and the staff are more than helpful.
