We came across this great little place by accident, and we were so happy that we did do. There was a great selection of homemade tray bakes, great coffee, and great service. We would certainly go back if passing.

Wee gem of a cafe, situated next to Asda in Kilkeel. Food is always freshly made and always good. Amy and Caroline always provide service with a smile and good food. I normally go for the omlette and it is very filling, with a lovely side salad, and feel I'm having the healthy option. Their range of sandwiches and ciabattas are great too. They have a wide range of desserts and tray-bakes - and it's very hard to choose just one as they all look so good . .also their lemon scones are just divine.

I have been here twice now, both for a weekday lunch, and would visit again. The first time I had a goats cheese and pepper spring roll on salad, which I have never had before anywhere - it was lovely. The second time I had the special, a VERY good value and yummy chicken broccoli bake - the waitress (and chef) kindly agreed to swap the standard large offering of chips for a very nice salad and just a small handful of chips. Both times I think I took a cake to go, and they were both yummy! I think for the quality of the food the prices are exceptionally reasonable!!! Oh, and the service was VERY good - quick and friendly. The only issue I have with this place is the layout... as mentioned by others. This is quite a small establishment, and so why they feel it is necessary to have a huge couch is beyond me. It is indeed quite cramped towards the back of this place near the toilet and things really do need to be moved about a bit. If a customer was disabled, I feel that they would not be able to get to the toilet.

This popular eaterie has become a victim of it's success. Beware going on a Saturday. Crowded with long waits and cramped conditons. First of all, they need to rethink their seating. If you have to use the toilet you will have to push aside diners who are so close to the door leading into the toilet area that you hit their seats. I was there one time when a delivery was being made and we had to literally get up out of our seats so they could get to the back. Today, we had to share a table with a stranger as they were so crowded seating was scarce. When we arrived we had to wait and wait for even the vacated table to be cleared. Two waitresses are run off their feet and overall efficiency is lacking. I watched one waitress putting out dishes on a cleared table and she seemed to be in slow motion. When you're that busy you need to move. Management needs to get on all this. One time I had my debit card rejected due to a problem with the machine and had to return with cash. This is all unacceptable and unfair to patrons. And get rid of the couch at the front which is an attempt to create a cozy atmosphere but not in a small area like this cafe is. Two tables could be put there and the one blocking the toilet area removed.

First time trying food in here. Myself and 3 others went in for a late brunch and we were not disappointed at all . We were served quickly by a nice waitress . The food was very hot and tasty indeed , I had the sweet chilli chicken with chips . Wow far nicer than any chinese . We all enjoyed our food and cleaned the plates . We will be returning asap . Ps the scones are to die for and are the best around by miles .

Went with grownup family for birthday lunch. Cosy atmosphere. Nice staff good food. What more could you ask for.

Kilkeel is a small coastal town that boasts one of the best fish & chip shops in the province, it has an ASDA by accident and a pretty good quality butchers as well. We both had an open prawn salad in this place and y’know when it was put in front of me I laughed. The cold water prawns were excellent, and an alright portion; the brown bread that they rested on was darn good too but this was a salad throwback to the 1970’s like Kilkeel itself also a throwback in many ways. The era that gave us prawn cocktail, tequila sunrise, Harvey wall-bangers, glam rock, dehydrated meat and powdered sauce in Vesta chicken supreme, beef curry, risotto and Chow Mein that was unlike any Chow Mein I’ve ever seen. I’ve posted a photo of the prawn salad to let you work out each of the 12 or so ingredients including those out of a tin and out of a jar. Just think this was hip in the 1970’s. The price was ok and the service good. We also had good cappuccinos. Next time I go I’ll try another dish to see what era I land in. They played background music which was excellent too.

Found this lovely restaurant with an incredible selection of tray bakes, scones and delicious goodies. It has so much potential except for the fact that tray bakes were handled onto the plate with no serving tongs. This worried me as I saw the waitress just before picking up the tray bake walk across the floor with a teaspoon of hot choclate to decorate a drink. The sprinklings not only fell across the floor but when it spilt on the counter top, she immediately swept the spillage into the floor. Not washing her hands she picked up the traybake and placed it onto a plate. There were other little things she did. Poor waitress has no training in the service industry especially with regard to washing your hands , either using gloves or tongs.

Discovered this little gem of a Cafe, staff very friendly and the scones to die for. It's very quaint and cute with lovely baked goods. Highly recommend. Fiona

After having spent a wonderful day in the Mournes we called into this delightful café in Kilkeel. We had tea and the most delicious scones with jam and cream. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful food and sun. Another fantastic day to remember fondly. Do call in and enjoy the eats.

Without doubt this is the best afternoon tea I have ever had. Yes in Kilkeel!!!I have experienced afternoon teas in most of NI’s leading hotels coffee shops and this is the best! Excellent guys well done. A must try .

called here for a snack as we were on our way to Newcastle Had scones and traybake and tea and everything was superb. Lovely cream and jam served with the most delicious scone. This is our second time here and we hope to be back very soon to sample the lunches as the table of 4 beside us got lunches and they looked delicious. large servings and great variety. Well done!!

My partner and I popped into Whisk today for a light snack and a coffee... It was really lovely!!! I highly recommend a visit!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food is really lovely and the surroundings is so relaxing. It’s a real quirky little place to sit and relax. The staff are so friendly and helpful, overall it was a real treat! We will be back really soon folks and thank you for looking after us. Paul & Pete x

Gem off a place- a busy little place with exeptional fresh home baked goods! Coffee is to die for- spotlessly clean!! New favourite place

Called in around mid afternoon for quick cuppa and decided to have sausage roll too. Recalled it being the more sharp hypster "Salt and Pepper" before. Noted a number of tables uncleared and just too much food on the unswept floor. Sorry but can't comment on food except sausage roll was ok. Maybe we just experienced cafe at a weaker moment.

This is our second visit, the first was last year just after it opened. We were looking forward to our visit and even brought the mother in law along. We were not disappointed, the food, was excellent, fresh, well cooked and presented, oh, and there was plenty of it. The service was great, the staff could not be more friendly or helpful. The facilities were immaculate. All in all, we have nothing but praise for this little gem. We will be back the next time we choose to drive the Mourn Coast Route.

Had a very relaxed lunch here with a few friends. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Judging by the fine selection of homemade bread and cakes I'm sure afternoon tea would be a good idea sometime! Will definitely go back again.

I have been visiting this establishment for a number of months . The food is first class cooked to perfection and to the customers liking. The fresh baked breads and pastries are a delight. The staff are friendly and always accommodating. Afternoon tea is the best I have had in any establishment. This is a wee gem situated in Kilkeel beside Asda. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Went to get lunch with a friend. The staff were the friendliest people, very helpful, and food was served promptly. The food itself was the nicest. Their Irish fry is especially delicious. I have been numerous times since my first visit and it never disappoints. Fresh baked breads every day including scones, soda’s and pancakes and tasty deserts are amazing. If you are ever in the area make sure you pop in. Their afternoon tea is great and is truly a treat.

i found this treasure for my escape -great coffee and cakes scones griddle bread to die for-cannot resist! The restaurant also serves excellent light meals -soups etc The decor is modern artistic relaxing, Great location near Asda after you are weary from shopping!Excellent attentive staff
