Ursa Minor Bakehouse in Allerdale

Consistently neglectful service, sullen staff. I'll go now for the odd loaf - good sourdough - but I've had enough of the grumpy faces.

Outstanding pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and coffees, and a warm, cozy atmosphere. Was surprised to read the reviews citing poor service as we found the staff to be friendly and welcoming.

Super cute, great food! We loved our quick stop for some lunch before continuing on our way up north. Friendly staff! Cute stores right around the restaurant too. Definitely with the stop!

Amazing bakes. Great selection of cakes and pastries. Finally settled on the chocolate cake, pleased with my choice, best chocolate cake ever.

It’s worth going to the loo here as you get a peek at the working bakery; where they also were playing some opera would you believe !. Anyway it produces some great pastries plus excellent coffee in a very pleasant laid back environment.

Absolutely delicious and huge focaccia with humous and some peanuty-chilli homemade gorgeous-ness. Stuffed and very tasty veggie sausage roll. Lovely coffee and very chilled atmosphere. Too full for cakes but they looked spot on 👌🏻

Entirely wonderful. Unpretentious, good food with an emphasis on quality. A prevalence of good culinary discernment is wholey evident: to me, at least, especially considering I chose my dishes intending to be exploratory. A pleasant meal, I shall visit again.

Attended to purchase takeaway bread and pastries. Also sat in for a coffee - very very small latte for £2.80 and a toasted sourdough sandwich. Well the sandwich had been sitting out ?? for how long , I asked could it be heated up and they said no - not currently serving hot food in the cafe ! The cold sandwich had previously been overcooked and the crusts could not be eaten- what a shame —overpriced at £5.00 . Currently I feel very nauseated- possibly from the sandwich. So overall I’m not really that impressed- seems very overpriced. I am hopeful that the takeaway breads will be good

What a thrill to find this bakery in Ballycastle. Outstanding coffee, peerless croissants. Truly memorable. What a find. World class

We have followed and drooled over Ursa Minor for so long and with Covid were unable to get there until now and wow it is well worth the wait! We got the turmeric sourdough loaf and it is amazing . We also got a morning bun which was very tasty although I’m used to orange as well as cinnamon in a morning bun. We also got a salad to go and it was beautiful. Hopefully we’ll get back soon . Don’t miss it!

Second time here. Late saturday afternoon and very quite. Coffee in paper cup? not sure if this is the norm everywhere now due to covid? Had 2 amazing buns - one lemon meringue the other damson and almond. Expensive but amazing and worth it

Perfect service and the best coffee and croissants in the town. Can’t wait for the hot food and supper clubs to return.

Not many places in Ballycastle for vegans, but this was lovely, with a few lunchtime options and all the milks for coffees. Highly recommended

Sadly, even as a local and frequent customer, I have found the staff and owners to be extremely unfriendly. Worst of all, the coffee isn’t even particularly special and the pastries, bread, and food are all shocking prices. You would do your tastebuds and wallet a favor to skip this one-stop-shop. MAJOR disappointment for Ballycastle!

Great coffee shop in Ballycastle, the sourdough is something special. However we had a carry out of cinnamon buns delicious. Been a few times now and love the food my favourite is poached eggs on sourdough with yoghurt with house spicy sauce, absolutely wonderful. Give it a try if you nearby.

Lovely cakes and pastries, homemade so understandably expensive, main menu bit pretentious. Service takes forever. What really 'gobsmacked' me was that they don't do decaffeinated coffee or tea, all that high tech machinery and barista faffing about but they can't make a decaf!! Even the 'ordinary' cafes in town can rustle one up so there really is no excuse here.Mostly for tourists and day trippers, doubt a huge amount of locals are regulars.

Was here today and plenty of lovely staff but terribly trained and uncertain. Food was very late...porcine soup was fabulous with toasted bread but friend waited extra 15 mins for Welsh rarebit and it only came because she went up to til to ask where it was. They have a great place here with location and fab products but menus on table, clear orders and better use of space for more positive experience. Please invest in proper staff training and customer service. You need a clear divide for shop at front and cafe at back to keep things simpler.

Okay. So the price is on the upper end of the scale, I paid £4.8 for a friand and a long black/Americano (never sure what the varying countries call it). So that's AU$9.20 which is, well, extortion back in Sydney, BUT, it's a small town/village, with fantastic products, who relies on tourist trade (I can only assume) and a small amount of local, and I'm one who's more than happy to pay for quality consumption when I'm away from home.The friand was the perfect amount of almond, the texture moist and the flavour was full: the coffee was well rounded with a decent body, medium roast and not at all bitter. As a self confessed coffee snob, who's traveled the world for 30 years in search of great coffee, for my money this place is bang on for what they produce. They'd not be out of place in Sydney, Melbourne or Italy for coffee, nor France or Australia/NZ for the baked goods I had. Five stars. I am a fan.

I had heard great things about this place and was excited to try it. I waited about 20 mins for a latte which was very nice and presented with the usual design on top. I don’t understand why these places take so long to make a coffee. I bought bread was which very nice

I’ve been to Ursa Minor a few times. The couple that run it are excellent bakers. The croissants are superb and the sourdough bread is the best around.But that’s where the praise stops.The cafe is very pretentious. The seats are uncomfortable and tables are sticky. The coffee is good, but served in tiny mugs at £3 a pop. The centre of the cafe has a long table, but you can’t put any food on there as it’s cluttered with books about making sourdough. We know you make good sourdough, but how’s about a wee bit more space to eat?Come on guys, get with the programme. You are superb bakers, but your décor needs much improvement. Keep water bottles and glasses on the table, get a range of newspapers in, expand your breakfast menu and please make your coffee sizes bigger (or bring your prices down!)

I only get to visit my hometown once or twice a year, and a trip to Ursa Minor is always essential. It's a joy to see something like this grow and thrive in my home. Great food. Great coffee. Great staff.

Had promised my family, who are vegan, a fabulous coffee experience. Today coffee was being served in disposable cups. We were refused mugs...despite explaining our preference for mugs both for environmental reasons and the coffee experience. This is the second time I have found the boss of this cafe unhelpful, his poor attitude to customers needs addressed. There was only one vegan bun option which was dry and tasted of bicarbonate of soda.. not good. My almond croissant was also over baked and dry. This was £17 badly spent. We would have been better getting carry out coffees from the garage. Sorry cafe owners we will not be back. But your sourdough bread is very good

The wee chocolate tart with a raspberry compote has been the divine intervention in my day! The creativity is astounding. Anyone who doesn't enjoy the goods from this craft kitchen has a serious dose of 1st world problems. The bread is a staple in our home.

Lovely little place serving small, regularly changing choice of fresh and delicious veggie food and super bread. Great coffee and large selection of teas. Would recommend

One of our favourite spots,just sorry we can’t get more often! So welcoming to families and one of a select few places that really welcome and make space for children. Delicious pastries and food that is seasonal and thoughtfully sourced and consistently serves delicious vegetarian and vegan lunches. A real wee gem run with care and love!

I’ve been going to Ursa Minor to buy bread a couple of times a week for a few years and often succumb to the temptation of a cruffin, a macaroon, cookie, friand, galette or some other delicious sweet treat...they’re all amazing!

Saturdays are for Ursa Minor, if you’re looking for proper coffee in Ballycastle this is literally the only spot worth going.It’s also one of the only vegetarian places on the north coast. I’m a fully fledged meat eater but the taste of some of their brunch dishes would make you wonder why anyone needs meat at all, so good!All their dishes are seasonal, so don’t be surprised if you go there one day and get an unbelievable lunch, return to get it again and it’s gone! But always replaced with something just as good.So many false reviews of this place?!?wouldn’t be surprised if it was other jealous businesses in the town....

I visit Ursa Minor whenever I’m in the area for business, and I absolutely love it. I’m always welcomed with a smile. The food is creative and delicious and I always take a fresh loaf away with me. Well worth a visit!

I visited Ursa Minor last week with my family. We were on holiday in Portrush and made the trip out as we had been to their smaller place before and knew the trip would be worth it.

Don't write very many reviews but this place is a wee gem... friendly staff, homemade sourdough bread and buns and they know what they are at with coffee... highly recommended

Ursa Minor is pretty much the only reason my wife & I go to Ballycastle.

I love going to Ursa Minor as the bread is stunningly good. The sweet treats change daily and my favourites are 'muddy choux' and the caramel eclair - both to be savoured with orange blossom oolong and the newspaper. Day sorted.

I don't often have time to stop out for lunch, but when I do and when I'm in the area Ursa Minor Bakehouse is always one of my favourites to visit. Fantastic service, beautiful setting, and it's clear from the products on offer that these folk are passionate about what they produce, it's wonderful. There's also some fabulous unique retail products to buy, always a pleasure to brouse through to buy something different. Keep up the great work.

Visited yesterday with my friends and had the most beautiful lunch! Coffee was fantastic and even had to sample the cakes which were mouthwatering! Will definitely return soon, service and atmosphere were second to none

Fantastic bread particularly when toasted with real butter, great coffee, sweet items always go down a treat!

This is a great place for vegetarians with incredibly tasty creative dishes which are also very appealing to non vegetarians like myself. It is always hard to decide which brunch/ lunch option to choose from as I want to try them all! This is also a great place for coffee and of course something from the patisserie which is so incredibly fresh and is by far the best I have ever tasted. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly with pleasant helpful staff.

Regrettably visited here on a recent trip to Ballycastle. Unlike other bad reviews regarding customer service, we were served by a pleasant member of staff however this was the only highlight. We arrived at approx 10am and were surprised to see just how little there was to choose from. We were forced into buying 2 hard cinnamon swirls. My black lab could've chewed all day on it. To me it seems like somewhere people go just to be seen. If you like overpriced, pretentious, rubbery buns, then this is the place for you. Also on a side note, I couldn't believe the arrogance that they actually sell their own t-shirts/mugs etc who wants this rubbish. There is a far better, normal priced, beautiful wee bakery across the street. Far better value for money than this tripe.

Visited with my mum, sister and daughter so wise age range.None of us are fussy eaters but not big on eggs. This made a very limited menu even more limited! The salads were nice and my mum has a sourdough cheese sandwich - lightly grated and no butter :-( but it’s hard to endorse with such little choicest There were more cakes at the serving desk but none were labelled or on the menu for reference - it was all a bit haphazard, sorry!

Perfect! ...Beautiful vegetarian food (im not even vegetarian), beautiful treats, beautiful coffee, friendly staff! . I look forward to a trip here every time I'm in ballycastle!

Such a lovely place. Great coffee and even greater range of sweet treats. The sweet treats are an amazing size and very tasty. Great prices too

Surprised that they stopped serving lunch at 3.20!!!!! Thought those days were long gone,God help the Tourists.

Passing through and stopped for lunch. Good food and amazing pastries. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff

This place has character, great lattes, really yummy pastries, and a real bake shop downstairs. Comfortable atmosphere, too.

Called in here and I have to say that the food was great, but sadly they don't take a lot of pride in the cleanliness. I understand the look, but sadly the walls are badly marked and there was for stuck to the floor and also bits on the table......it looks really dirty. Even dirtier were the toilets. Just because they're down stairs, don't forget to clean them!!! Have a spring clean and you'll be up to a 5!!

We’ve been big fans of Ursa Minor since their pop up days. Their current café is a beautiful, light filled space. The bread and pastries are fantastic and the coffee never disappoints. There’s also a delicious brunch / lunch menu. Keep up the good work guys ♥️

Embarrassingly amateur! Such a shame because their bread & coffee is really good, they just don't seem to be able to manage/run a coffee shop.

Agree wholeheartedly with the latest review.

Our first experience at Ursa Minor and certainly our last. Service was poor. We waited 45 mins to place our order. The food was average but expensive. No lemon available for the earl grey tea. Poached eggs over cooked. Awful.

Great coffee and bakery establishment. My little boy loves the croissants and the coffee was very well brewed. Took home a white bloomer and we all enjoyed that too. Great little place and offers something really different to usual NI coffee houses.

So delighted to have finally visited Ursa Minor's! We order their beautiful Sourdough Bread with our Vegetable box all the time but to get to finally visit this place did not disappoint. The staff are very gracious & attentive, food is delicious & my word the pastries & buns are out of this world! The jam on my daughter's sourdough toast is something to write home about! Thank you for a beautiful experience & I can't wait to return.

After doing a little research on our way to Ballycastle trying to find a nice little place for brunch, a google search found what appeared to be a beautiful, rustic eatery claiming to have a menu with locally sourced produce but with no menu on the website we trusted that we’d love it. We walked in and waited on the waitress at the counter to seat us but after a couple of minutes she seemed to be very busy and unwelcoming so we just went on ahead and seated ourselves, which was fine. After going on a hunt for a menu we soon found out that the option of locally sourced ‘new and exciting’ produce amounted to granola, eggs and bread and eggs and bread topped with granola. After waiting quite a while, we still hadn’t been served when only 2 other customers in the cafe. Based on the abrupt attitude of the waitress on the way in and lack of options, we decided to skedaddle,with little care given by the waitress. We later went back for a coffee to go, which was actually really beautiful but unfortunately the service was still extremely poor by the same person, with a very rude attitude - very disappointing as this place has so much potential but the missing pieces lie in a simple welcoming smile and a few more menu options.

Called in to Ursa Minor on a busy Saturday afternoon at around 2pm, After waiting about 20 mins on a table we finally got seated. After waiting a further 15 mins for our order to be taken I had to go up and order my self then to be told one of the 3 limited lunch options was sold out i ordered the syrup flu hot beverage then to be told it was also sold out. I don't understand how with such a limited lunch menu things can run out especially if it's simply a vegetable based menu! There are local shops near by to stock up, being a vegetarian my self this has put me off going back into Ursa Minor!

Excellent sourdough bread - get it fresh in the morning. Nip around to McListers for butter and jam. Get home quick and get into it. Oh boy. Stick around and try the wares. Read the paper. Lovely food and coffee.

We were taken here by friends who live locally. Primary we went for the home made sour dough bread which is amazing. A large whole meal and white will cost just £2. There are lots of other breads to try including spelt. The menu is small but very interesting and is all whole heathy food. My wife had a hummus sandwich and our friends had poached eggs, all with various trimmings. There are speciality teas and coffees. I had a vegan veg pot which was millet and salad based topped with vegan cream cheese and hummus. There are delicious cakes on display to eat in or take out. The decor is deliberately distress with quite dark oracular colour. Lots of seating and s middle section that holds lots of interesting cookery books to read. A very good place to eat and shop. Ballycastle is a nice coastal village full of small, decent shops. The ferry to Rathlin fun’s from here. The Dark Hedges, of Game of Thrones fame is just a few miles away. Shall definitely go there again when in the area.

Always delighted with coffee and wonderful food, the bakers lunch changes daily and is gorgeous, from toasted Croissant creamy organic mushrooms topped with an egg to simple country salad with toasted sourdough amazing!! and the pastries wow

This is a lovely cafe in the heart of Ballycastle and is spacious bright and airy.

called here yesterday afternoon, a completely different experience for eating. I had carrot and orange soup with sour dough bread and husband had poached eggs on sourdough bread, with coffee. both were delicious. will definitely be back

Dropped in for a quick coffee, which was good and good value, a wee bit self consciously hipster with mis matched furniture, tables and chairs for me, but the beard and sandals set will love it, all they need is an in house tattoo artist and maybe a piercer and they're away!! Staff were excellent by the way!!

If you like coffee the coffee shops named in the title of this review tell you all you need to know. 230ml flat white at the right temperature and great cakes. Places like this are too few and far between. Try the Bothy Cafe near Carrick a Rede rope bridge for a similar experience.

Great coffee and selection of cakes and bread. An added pleasure was the rack of books (travel, cookery, bread making)available to look through while enjoying the coffee.

Thanks Ursa Minor ... you never disappoint... amazing coffee ... and in these parts that is a total rarity so thankyou! Can I also say your cinnamon swirls are pretty amazing too!!

Really loved this cafe. A small menu is often a sign of quality . This delivered tasty healthy grub and fab coffee with lovely decor and pleasant service . A great spot in a lovely town !

Op een regenachtige dag waren we op zoek naar een plek voor een lekker koffietje met dessert. Via goede beoordelingen online waren we hier terecht gekomen, maar dat bleek toch niet het beste idee ooit. Om te beginnen waren twee van de vier stoelen waarop we zaten zo wiebelig dat je dacht er elk moment te kunnen doorvallen. Verder was de koffie zeker lekker, maar de gebakjes waren dat helemaal niet. Ze waren wellicht zo 'gezond' klaargemaakt dat de smaak ver zoek was. Ik had bv. een frangipannetaartje; het was erg klein maar ik heb het niet opgegeten omdat het zo als een baksteen op de maag viel. Ook de rest van het gezelschap heeft z'n dessertje niet opgegeten.

This afternoon my husband and I visited Ursa Minor for lunch and a coffee and it was really lovely. We also had a traybake called muddy shoe!!!! Quirky tittle but amazing!!!! I can recommend it. Think chocolate brownie meets shoe pastry meets raspberry meets sweet vanilla custard!!!! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable of their produce and it was clear a lot of time and effort is put into making everything fresh

The best bread, coffee and sweet treats about, but you've got to be early to get the best selection.

I mistakenly thought this was a bakery but it’s not - it’s just a coffee shop

Been long term fans of Ursa Minor, even went along when they were in their old digs. Great coffee, and amazing baked goods. Had a strawberry muffin this morning which was so fresh and tasty. My wife has a crosiffin or some sort of muffin/croissant crossover. It was amazing! We love this place for a coffee and bun, not our favourite for a proper breakfast. Couple times we have gone, struggled to find something we like on the menu, but that may just be personal taste. They have a wee kids area which is handy to distract our 2 year old while we relax!

Croissant baked in muffin tin filled with fresh cream and strawberries. Sugared outside. Now I can die happy. Great coffee too.

Great, friendly place to have coffee in a morning, with delicious baked goods to enjoy. Definitely recommend.

Couldn’t fault this place, which would be at home in Shoreditch. An unexpected find on the causeway coast - and suitable for vegetarians too.

An unexpected find in ballycastle. A truly up to the minute family friendly tree hugging kind of cafe. Would be as at home in Shoreditch as here. However, considerably cheaper in terms of that comparison. Relaxed and friendly service. Good food and portions and coffee was delicious with some interesting reads too.

Have been a number of times to Ursa Minor and really enjoyed the experience - but not as much this time. We ordered the "Bakers Brunch" - 2 slices of sourdough with eggs, feta cheese, wilted leaves (spinach I think) and olive oil. Tasted OK; bread tasted good but had a very hard and tough crust (not typical of their bread). One egg was runny one was hard plus about a heaped teaspoon of crumbled feta. Flavours decent but a bit unbalanced - too much dry bread. This we followed with coffees and a slice of cake. Both excellent though the portion of cake was rather small. The bill came to £30 which seemed pretty steep given the low-cost ingredients. What they are trying to do is good - proper artisan approach to simple foods - but not done as well as we had come to expect. Service was OK - though we did not get the coffees we ordered - but the otherwise very pleasant room was very noisy with young children running around. Given how much we have enjoyed Ursa Minor in the past we will be back in the hope we got a (slightly) off-day.

We popped in for a bowl of home made soup and their fab. bread and all was excellent and tasty. We rounded it off with a hot drink and took a loaf of the multi grain home with us

Friendly service, amazing cakes (you can can get your friands here), great coffee and sourdough bread to die for. Don’t miss this cafe/bakery when visiting the North Antrim coast. Highly recommended. Featured in Mckenna guides and Trish Desein’s Home (Recipes from Ireland).

I was very indulgent today and and had a cappuccino and a homemade croissant to start. Then spinach and ricotta hot cakes with tomato and chilli on their toasted, homemade sourdough. It was all absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend them both.

we had the sweet potato, coriander ave coconurlt soup with their lovely bread and then polished off some lovely cakes!!!

I love their freshly baked breads and cakes, always served with a smile. Not the easiest place to get parked at but worth the walk.

Called in for lunch in this lovely spot and choose the ribolita soup. It was a hearty bowlful that was welcome after a right soaking from the North coast hailstones. The flavours were so good, oh my gosh, I could eat it morning, noon and night. The ingredients were so fresh and the simple dish was well presented. It was served with really tasty home made bread and the food spoke for itself.

Brilliant course ,so thorough and easy to follow I left with my sourdough starter and have successfully made my own bread at home, I will never buy supermarket bread again! The lunch and patisserie provided throughout the day from the cafe menu was just fantastic, it was vegetarian, very fresh and tasty. A chilli with sourdough bread baked with onions and cheese and side salads. The pastries were delicious. Fab food, great thought gone into providing local ,healthy, well cooked food. Well worth a visit

Sourdough bread bakery and restaurant for the connoisseurs. A small but varied menu was offered which was well prepared and delicious. Butternut squash with chickpea stew wasn't my usual choice however we went with the flow. To our surprise a "soul in a bowl" stew arrived and was devoured. Great wee restaurant with delightful food and a great visit from Scotland.

Lovely coffee shop and bread selection made with an organic bent. Don't do scones but as the owner said you can get those across the road.

We had delicious homemade bread with jam and a delicious cup of coffee. On another day we had delicious pastries (more coffee) and shopped for gifts. Warm & welcoming, friendly service.

This is a little treasure in the centre of Ballycastle. The staff were friendly and efficient and its one of the best cappuccinos I've had and the pastries were delicious. Loved the contempory feel and the relaxed atmosphere. Definitely will be back.

This coffee house has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where customers can sit and chat. Plenty of varied seating from comfy chairs to benches. A nice touch is the central seating area stocked with cook books to browse. The coffee is good and the cakes a bread quite special. A place to nibble rather than eat.

First time visiting the new location which provides much more space than was available previously. Excellent sour dough bread and baked treats were the highlight - bakers brunch was a nice take on a Caesar salad style dish. The bread is baked downstairs with skill and an obvious passion for the craft. Coffee was good, we had americanos so can't comment on how other brew methods tasted. Definitely top of the list for coffee / brunch in Ballycastle.

For the price I would at least expect a earthen ware mug and a pot of tea in nice surroundings. I would also expect metal cutlery instead of plastic disposables. The other two with me had the pizza and said it was ok. The menu choice is very limited. In short I thought I could have done better at a road side wagon. Avoid if you want value for what you are charged. If the others with had not gone in and ordered I would have gone elsewhere, and there are better choices nearby in the town.

Visited Ursa Minor on Tuesday 29th August we popped in for coffee and cake and I was not disappointed I had the most delicious apple doughnut I have ever tasted in fact it was so amazing that I had to go get another one. Coffee was good as well and interior of shop was understated and relaxing. There is not a huge menu but in my opinion this place could survive selling the doughnuts alone.

I was so looking forward to trying this place out but, oh dear, what a disappointment. I am very wary about posting poor reviews about a business as I am aware of the negative impact it can have on trade. However, in this case I feel I have no alternative. Good points: lovely, friendly staff. Then, unfortunately it's all downhill from there. We went in on the second day of the Lammas Fair. Surprisingly, they were not overly busy. We told them we were eating in and ordered a tea and a coffee which arrived in two small cardboard cups. Two donuts - NOT the ones we ordered - arrived to us on paper napkins. No milk; no sugar. We had to go searching for them. No spoons or wooden stirrers available. All this for £8.20. The drinks and eats were gone in two seconds. Then, to add insult to injury, no toilets!!!! What a let down. Management please take note. Some serious work required here.

We popped in for a tea and a coffee. Our order did nt arrived although the rest of our party had their order. They gave our order to someone else , we waited a further 15 mins, no apology. Just not worth the wait especially as it was in a paper cup.

Il locale è molto carino, arredato con cura e gusto. Gli spazi e l'illuminazione sono perfetti perchè danno respiro e un'atmosfera molto piacevole. I piatti serviti per pranzo sono semplici ma molto buoni. Il pane è buonissimo e fatto artigianalmente da loro. Ma soprattutto, dopo una settimana di beveroni di acqua sporca al caffè (caffè americano) ho potuto gustare un vero espresso come si deve. Stavo quasi per piangere dall'emozione. Personale molto gentile e attento, qualità prezzo molto buona. Non mi sento di dare il punteggio massimo per la vicinanza tra il bagno al piano inferiore e il locale forno, dove vengono fatte lievitare le forme di pane. Mi è sembrato poco igienico ed è sicuramente un particolare che non mi è piaciuto. Per il resto tutto perfetto! ci tornerei subito!

We arrived mid-afternoon and they were sold out of most of their food, but that was ok, we really just came for the coffee anyway which was really good! It's a nice cosy place and looks like it's very child friendly.

This small bakery is a highlight in Ballycastle, serving light meals and excellent coffee, pastries and bread in a casual setting.

Nicely decorated with stripped wood floors, eclectic dining furniture and great ambience for adults and families. Menu is a bit limited but what that do, they do very well. Bakers brunch is well priced and all of the ingredients, homemade bread, eggs, tomatoes, pesto, are super fresh. We also had the salad bowl which was well balanced with fresh beetroot and nutty bulgar wheat. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

We visited during the week for some brunch! Everyone ordered the Bakers Brunch which tasted amazing. We also bought a loaf of the sourdough because it is awesome!! Pretty good value for money too!

Ursa Minor is a modern coffee shop serving delicious bread, cakes and pastries baked on the premises. It also provides a limited but interesting menu. All vegetarian with vegan options. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the options available.

Simple toast and butter taken to the next level!!! I had a cinnamon roll/ bun the scone like texture was perfect with layers of sugar and spice you didn't need butter with it so I don't think it was a bread mix but boy was it good !!! Will definitely be back xxxooo

It was so great to find a veggie, vegan friendly place in this corner of the world! The place is really airy and the options were healthy, wholesome, comforting and filling. Everything comes with their signature sourdough bread, made fresh on the premises with completely natural ingredients. You can even by the bread and take it with you. The menu frequently changes but there's always a vegan option.

1250pm today called in for coffee on our first visit to Ursa Minor to be met by disinterested staff who abruptly suggested we go for a walk and come back because the kitchen were not taking any more orders. First impressions were not good....

Ursa Minor moved to much better premises in Ballycastle and is now very smart and much better than before (if rather noisy). Still expensive though but you pay for the handmade, twee cakes.

At Ursa Minor I had the best latte I've tasted in Northern Ireland. You can also visit the bakery down stairs and see their wonderful breads being made.
