The Marina Coffee House & Eatery in North Down

Poor experience. Not one table available as they were dirty. Prices very high. Staff interaction poor. Food choice poor. They didn’t even have plates for scones or bakes. They were using saucers. This review refers to the store in Next, Bloomfields.

Popped in to buy a take out scone. There were only 3 left & the server said they were waiting on more coming in. I asked for a raisin & also asked if they were ‘bought in’ & she said no they’re made by the chef on the premises. But she just told me they were waiting on more coming in??? Perhaps it was the wrong choice of words ?? Anyway the scone may as well have been ‘plain’ there was 1 raisin in it, yes 1!!! Plus it was very dry. I prefer scones ‘home made’ perhaps this was, but certainly didn’t taste like it.

Lovely meal with my family. I had a tasty vegetable soup followed by a haddock risotto. The others had chicken wings and then a burger for husband and a steak for my son. Service was good and staff are friendly and helpful. Hope to be back and seems like a good choice of dishes on the menu.

Bought 4 tickets for friends and myself to see a band totalling £37.50. Upon arrival we were not asked to produce tickets. Doormen proceeded to wave people on in for free. No offer made to reimburse us. Feel like we were ripped off for simply being music fans. My advice to anyone tempted to buy a ticket for a future gig here would be not to bother. Just turn up and get waved on in for free.

Very tasty pizza at a reasonable price. There was a large gathering on the night we went and it took over an hour to get our food.
