The Pantry At The Dark Hedges in Ballymoney

Nice place to stop after walking around the premises. Very nice bbq sandwiches. Unfortunately there is no wifi and no cellphone signal so be prepared for that.

Nice cafe in a great locations on a Game Of Thrones site that attracts bus tours. Pretty ridiculous that they can’t cope with a bus load of people wanting to buy their food! Was told wait for toasted sandwich was 5 mins so placed order and paid £28! After 25 mins had to leave without food as coach was departing! The lady cooking was clearly stressed but shouting at the poor lad who was trying to appease an endless stream of paying customers wasn’t great.

Terrible service! One bathroom for 300 women. Very long lines that cant be done because of the amount of people. Mean waitress. Slow and expensive service. The only giod thing were the threes. I wont go back again.

Came here with family, 4 adults and 2 children at about 5pm. Place looked closed. Couldn’t dine in as they had closed that part of the cafe, they had put he chairs away and mopped the floor! Had to sit outside in the freezing cold. Still lots of tourists around. Staff were unhelpful. Burned myself on the cup of tea as was not told it had no milk in it. Ordered 2 ice pops. Had to ask for scisssors to open them. Awful place. Would NOT recommend.

Stopped yesterday with our tour and decided to get coffee before heading back to Belfast. The sour faces on the two members of staff would have turned the milk. The girl serving couldn’t even manage a please when asking for payment. Expensive, and coffee not that good. But snacks from elsewhere and take some water, places like this don’t deserve business.

Nice sausage bacon sandwiches with coffee. Seemed expensive at first but the sandwiches were quality and worth the price. I’d suggest toasting the outside of the bap as per the photo included.

Friendly and helpful staff. Food was good, fast service. Facilities and cafe clean and tidy. Plenty of space. Nice little gift shop.

Lovely place and dogs are welcome, what more can a dog lover ask for. Perhaps a larger selection of cakes would be great.

Nice spot for food and coffee while doing the dark Hedges. Nice choice of food paninis, cakes, sandwich, drinks. Plenty of space and nice friendly staff. The toilets are worth a mention great imagination. This place is perfect for a half hour sit down when visiting.

Took my parents here today for afternoon coffee and cake. Minute I stepped through the front door all I could smell was dog. It was cold, floor was filthy, tables hadn’t been cleared or if they had been they hadn’t been wiped. Expensive. We shared two cupcakes which were hard and dry. Just couldn’t get the dog smell out of my nose. Definitely wouldn’t go back. Really gone down hill since visit 2 years ago.

The worst thing is the disgusting toilets, on the day we visited the ladies were out of order so my wife had to use the disabled one with no seat no water and no hand wash a complete disgrace Also the food was terrible scone so dry they must have been left over from the day before. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!

My friend and I haven’t started to visit this area on a regular basis due to the friendliness of all staff, the young lady who I assume is management was beyond accommodating and made us feel very welcomed and relaxed. The scones and hot drinks were delicious to say least, and the puppy enjoyed the cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend

The tea and coffee were fine, if a bit pricey. It's the state of the toilets that's prompting me to write. I probably wouldn't have but there were signs everywhere saying to report any problems if the facilities weren't up to standard. Both the men's and women's toilets were out of action. The disabled access toilet had no toilet seat, there was no loo paper and while there was water in the tap there was no soap in the dispenser. I did enjoy the walk along the Dark Hedges.

Wonderful! It’s great to have a local cafe with such friendly and helpful staff. The customer service could not have been better, despite the large tourist groups which filled the cafe, this did not affect our service what so ever. Our food was lovely.. a simple but sufficient menu. We will definitely be back.

2 extremely weak coffees in paper cups and one not well baked powdery scone €9.10 , should be a cute small cafe but is in fact a shed with bought in food , where your busses drop you off to see the dark hedges ( basically some trees ) so noting ther to do but visit this place …. Never again

The service here is really slow, there were 6 people ahead of me and it took almost 15 minutes to be served. The coffee, which was good, was served immediately but we had drank it by the time the food came. Cornish pasty, which was tasty ,and a bacon chicken and cheese panini, minus the chicken. The girl serving obviously didn't listen, lm local as was she. Who ever owns this place needs to have an input and sort it out. There are no public toilets in the area , therefore people are coming in and using the two cubicles which is a notice displays customer use only. WILL NOT BE RETURNING

Nice, airy cafe between the car park and Dark Hedges. Limited but acceptable menu. Clean loos. Ideal if you are visiting the Dark Hedges.

Very nice cafe at the Dark Hedges, with very helpful staff. The coffee and snacks were excellent, especially the bacon baps. Highly recommended if you visit the trees.

The space is huge, nicely furnished. Dog friendly! One thing a selection of homemade cakes please! The staff are friendly.

The food and setting are worthy of "very good", but... A brilliant little stop, comfy and cosy. An ideal place for a warming beverage after you've walked through the trees and back. The menu is small but what they offer is done really well, very tasty and good value for money. They have a good selection of cakes, hot drinks and offer milk alternatives. Now for the but, my friend and I visited with our respective children who are Six months and three months old, while there were high chairs available it was very disappointing to find there were no baby change facilities. We had to change our children on the toilet floor which is unhygienic at the best of times but on this occasion the loos were not particularly clean either. The smell and sight of black mould around the sink in the ladies was most unpleasant. I appreciate it's a stylish thing to have a wooden surface but it really should be properly treated.
