Third Day Coffee in Antrim

Called here on our way through Antrim had read other reviews and the menu online looked really good. The Brioche French toast was nice although it was different temperatures throughout and cold in some places. The coffee was good but what really let the whole experience down was the eggs benedict. Eggs benedict is a classic breakfast or brunch dish that has been enjoyed for decades and when done right is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately this was not the case here they have tried to add a twist to a dish that does not need any enhancements and in turn have ruined it. The crispy kale was inedible it was soaked in salt and was awful, the substitute for bacon was two slices of fatty hard overcooked slices of belly pork that had been reheated. I do not want belly pork for breakfast there was more fat than meat and it smelt awful. The hollandaise sauce was not too bad but then it had a black syrup drizzled on the plate which was bitter and did not complement the dish. The poached eggs were exceptional and were the best bit of the dish the rest I had to leave. Please just serve a classic eggs benedict its a winner every time I understand that you have tried to enhance the dish but this is an epic fail! The desserts I took home were nice and the carrot cake was one of the best I have had. My son ordered a toastie and we were confused as he asked for ham and cheese but was told they only did ham and cheese from 11am onwards but he could have a cheese toastie? Surely you can put a slice of ham in a toastie at the same time as putting cheese in it I assume you have ham on the premises so I don't fully understand the reasoning behind this. The café is a little grubby in places and could do with a little attention to detail. All in all it was a disappointing visit. Price wise its not extortionate but not good value at the same time portion sizes are good and its in a handy location for parking.

Food took 40 minutes to get here because orders didn't go through to chef, lazy workers. Only ordered a beans on toast and it took longer than a 5 course meal.

Great wee spot for a coffee with friends of family. Coffee and buns were lovely and staff all friendly.

Really poor. Had a cappuccino here and it tasted awful. The kids had lemonade which was mostly water, could hardly taste the lemonade. Not impressed.

Impromptu visit for brunch with our little boy. Beautiful place, EXCELLENT menu, really good service (v friendly, entirely cool people!), exquisite food (we had French toast and waffles& fried chicken). Coffee lovely (and not too strong, as it is in lots of gourmet-style cafes). The toilet is a tiny bit shabby, but this place is overall a diamond. Would definitely return and would recommend to all (all ages/ couples/ groups/ family).

After having an issue with their till system and miss placing our order the staff and the manager were so accommodating and lovely. They understood our frustration and without hesitation went above and beyond giving us another round of coffees. We thoroughly enjoyed our food when it did arrive and were shocked when the manager said "that's all on us today"! Great customer service and hospitality. Will definitely be back again at third day coffee.

Couldn’t fault any part of it! Nice vibe and cracking food! Service great and food great. Will definitely be back again soon!

I got a nap with sausage and egg nothing special my daughter got pancakes my other daughter got eggs benideck 2 coffee and 1 tea 39 pounds very disappointing and very expensive

Sensational all round. On Mondays afternoon we decided to pop in and see what it was like. Well, they knocked it out of the park ! We had two eggs Benedict with pulled pork. All the flavours on the plate were beautifully well balanced. The meat was to perfection, juicy and tender yet not greasy. The sourdough was on point and the eggs perfectly cooked. The sauce was perfect, usually a Benedict would be too rich for myself and leave me feeling sickly, but not here. I ate the whole thing. Divine ! The portions were stellar. Huge appreciation for giving good hearty and well thought portions for all the components of the dish. The coffee was again perfect. My extra hot oat milk decaf was not a problem for the all smiles front of house and the blondie to finish off was perfect to share. I would usually travel all the way to Belfast for this level of service and food. I thought there might be some influence from traveling, perhaps Australia ? As the level of food and coffee was off the hook ! Well done guys it's seriously good ! You've got some more regulars here for sure 🤙

Cool coffee shop with great food. I’m a home roaster and can be fussy. The pour over was perfectly cupped and had been roasted to maximum flavor point (a sign of precision roasting, as opposed to the over-roasting typical of many coffee shops). I had the palta bap and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Menu changes but these were both to die for.

Third day is probably the best coffee house I have ever been to. I love it. Never had a bad coffee or food experience here. The staff have always been really nice and accommodating and the service has always been good. Shout out to the Scottish guy who was great at dealing with us on our recent trip. The owner himself has always been really patient and helpful when it comes to my children and their indecisiveness. The food options are good and I really like the la Cabra coffee and the blondies! We travel from carrickfergus to get to this place and we have never once regretted the trip. The atmosphere is always great inside unlike say established which seems to be very void of personality. We just wish third day had more seats inside as sometimes you need to wait a while to be able to get in(I think we waited an hour the last time :/) Maybe a wee shuffle of the seating may help to get a few more of us in?! If they did third day t shirts I'd definitely rock that! 5/5 will return.

Called on an afternoon when the shop wasn’t overly busy. Enjoyed the food and the coffee was great however, after arriving home I was left thinking that the bill had been expensive for what we had. I returned to the shop where they were able to look at the bill, turned out I had been overcharged by £8.00. Not only this, but they were unable to refund the amount to my card, so gave it back to me in cash (and not a penny more!). Never mind that I’d had to return, nor that I had given a generous tip based on the original bill, nor that I was actually embarrassed querying the bill in front of other customers (it’s a small space). Not much in the way of an apology (simply blaming a ‘new’ member of staff). Even a free coffee offer as a gesture of goodwill would have made a difference… So, food and coffee good, but customer service sadly lacking on this occasion.

First time visiting and was very impressed. Fast service and great food. Portion sizes are big. Very reasonable price. Looking forward to trying it again.

We visited with my son and his partner after they picked us up from the airport on our way to the Giants Causeway. Friendly and helpful staff, the menu was interesting but surprised not to see a meat breakfast but it was easy to make one by adding the items to the buttered toast. Son and his partner were very pleased with the veggie options. The sourdough was superb.

My fiancée and I called in for brunch and were blown away by the quality of the food. She had the breakfast bap and I had the eggs Benedict. You could tell how good the ingredients were and how much effort the staff put in to the presentation. We will definitely be back.

Great food and great coffee, love the fact it’s on our doorstep! Keep up the amazing work and keeping our bellies happy with the delicious food!

I live in antrim, have been going to third day coffee when i can from they opened as the food and coffee is amazing absolutely no faults there. Staff where always friendly and most still are but one girl who works on the counter, (not customer friendly) She has the most sour attitude and i hate making reviews like this but i think she needs addressed on it honestly i hate going in when i see her on. I was taking it personal until i seen some others said the same thing. But overall great wee business.
