Whose Art Cafe in Newtownabbey

Busy little cafe in Whiteabbey village and overlooking Belfast Lough. Nice menu, pleasant staff and food good quality. Enjoyed our breakfast and would return.

It is a nice coffee shop. But you need to pick your food carefully. Scones and stuff like that are good. Breakfast is boring. Eggs are done in the microwave. Our toast was stale and not very nice. Waffle stack is a joke. One waffle!

First time at this restaurant and we both loved it. Great menu with plenty of choice and good prices. Very popular at lunchtime. We sat next to a UTV presenter.

Good menu & lovely staff. Pics are the duck wrap, and chilli chicken with sourdough

Excellent cafe food is unbelievable staff very very friendly and polite 5 stars all round 👍

Lovely place with a great atmosphere and staff. My carmel square was amazing 😍

Absolutely gorgeous food! I have never had a tastier toastie and it was gluten free too! Staff so friendly. Red Thai Chicken Soup was unreal!!!

Great place for a nice bite in a good atmosphere.

Very popular little eatery very nice selection. Customer Service excellent.

Friendliest staff I have ever met in a restaurant. Food was first class. Now I know why the place is always busy definitely worth a visit or 10

Top class the best thing is the staff all exceptional. Food always great, coffee nice. Shame about the cups hard to hold, my only complaint lol

Had a lovely lunch today over looking Belfast lough. The salt and chilli chicken strips were probably the best I’ve ever had. The accompanying salad was very tasty. My wife had the gluten free chicken and pesto sandwich. The banoffee tart was great and apparently the chocolate (gluten free) brownie was good- although it didn’t stay around on the plate too long! A great coffee to finish off a tasty lunch. This is somewhere we’ll come back to.

Great food friendly staff stunning view over Belfast lough well worth a visit

Had a lovely lunch today. The salt and chilli chicken was delicious, probably one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Catered for gluten free also. Fab tray bakes and great coffee. Friendly staff. This is somewhere we’ll be back to.

I don't like salads, but the avocado salad here was genuinely one of the tastiest things I have ever ate. Plus, the ciabatta goujon sandwich was phenomenal. Coffee was perfect. All topped off with a view over Belfast Lough while you enjoy your meal. I'll definitely be coming back.

Lovely cafe with very tasty food and at a fair price. Staff were good too (and the tea is so much better than Sozo next door! Lol)

Great food, friendly service and pleasant surroundings as always. Love our weekly visits for lunch.

The staff was very nice and the chocolate fudge cake and tea were delicious! The presentation was great and the fresh cream and berries were a perfect compliment to the cake! The amount of tea was decent as I was able to have 2 cups.

Belfast needs more of this! Lovely, really made our visit to Belfast better.

We stopped off for a coffee and it was very nice

Go here quite regularly on a Saturday morning. Staff and atmosphere are really good. Food is all well cooked and presented without being anything to write home about. Always consistent which is good and manage to serve the large numbers of people who want fed and watered on a weekend morning without too many delays. Worth a visit.

Had a lovely lunch here with three friends. This is a quirky little place with a great atmosphere and great lunches. The staff are lovely and friendly and prices are not scary. I had a delicious wrap and my friends said their food was great. Oh and the coffee was yum. Highly recommended

Very busy cafe, surrounded by lovely pictures, good food, service and atmosphere. Wee bit difficult to park outside, but there is a carpark 5 mins walk up the road.

Had lunch in whose today for 1st time. It was a really lovely experience! Great choice of food and the staff honestly could not do enough. I will definitely be going back!!

Great place to visit. Staff very helpful and excellent food.

Super tasty, good portion sizes and really reasonably priced

Great views and great food. Lovely selection. Didn't know we needed to go up to order.

First time here and will definitely be back. The service was perfect from the second we walked in the door. Had a short wait for a table but we were given a menu to check over while we waited, which wasnt long. Plenty to choose from and once ordered it arrived in no time. Very tasty and beautifully presented. Then followed with lovely hot coffee

Great place to have breakfast or lunch food great

Delicious wraps for lunch. Nice coffee. Amazing caramel square.

Lovely cafe for lunch, staff welcoming and very friendly and excellent food from start to finish. Will definitely be back.

Always make a B line to this lovely place

Lovely place very pleasant staff. Good food and good value for money.

Great food, beautiful art on the walls ant the view across the Lough! Wow!

Really delicious sandwiches for lunch and lovely friendly attentive staff would definitely return when i’m in the area again

Called in for something to eat, my sandwich did not disappoint! Packed with filling! My partner on the other hand had toasted soda bacon and sausage. The sausages were cut in half prior to being what I imagine was reheated so the inner meat was tough and chewy and not very nice at all. Bacon wasnt great, but sodas were soggy and only half ass toasted on 1 side. Whilst we were finishing our coffees and chatting we were approached by a older female member of staff asking us to move seats!! It was quite embarrassing being asked to move and honestly extremely unprofessional, surely the customers seated should be looked after firsthand and not made to move so that new customers could be given an already taken seat. We just left after this it was very off putting!

Great staff, lovely ambience, delicious coffee and cake! Will DEF be back as they do gluten free options of food and sweet stuff (breakfast & lunch)

Nice lunch menu and friendly staff. Food was very good.

We really liked this place, nicely decorated, low lit, nice views, prompt friendly service and nice coffee. Ticks all the boxes really.

Never have a bad experience at Whose. Amazing staff and amazing food, would 100% recommend to anyone.

I really like this cafe. I've been a couple of times now and I will continue to go back. Sandwiches and salads are really fresh and tasty. It can be quite busy at popular times so plan your visit. I had the curried chicken salad which was so tasty, it really hit the spot!

Enjoyed the service the staff lovely and the food excellent will certainly be back again

Lunch today was beautiful, it was are first visit and looking forward to another visit. A great selection of savoury & desserts. Staff are a credit to this business. All extremely well organised. I will be recommending this hidden gem to family & friends 5*

I came here for breakfast with 2 friends who were visiting from Dublin. Firstly we were disappointed because there was no option of a fry up on the menu, which is what we had come in for, and I expect a lot of people would want for a breakfast. Instead I ordered something called a 'waffle stack' but the sausage tasted dry and chewy like it had been cooked a long time before and possibly microwaved(!) it definitely wasn't freshly cooked to order. The bacon was also very dry and tough and you could crack your teeth on the waffle it was so hard, you couldn't even cut it. My friend had bacon and poached egg on toast but had to order extra eggs to make up a sort of fry, which when added with the price of a coffee was extremely expensive for a breakfast. The owners of this place need to rethink the menu and how they cook the food. The only thing going for it were the lovely friendly staff and service. People pay for and deserve freshly cooked food, not waffles out of a packet and dry old reheated sausages and bacon. Don't think we'll ever be back.

Best cafe, food great, and staff so friendly and helpful.

I visit this lovely place on a regular basis. I could be with a family, partner or solo and this place never disappoints. Consistant, top quality food and service, with a relaxing lovely atmosphere makes you feel always welcomed and appreciated as a customer.

Visited here recently and I asked for a dairy free latte but the only milk they had was soya or oat and with me being both dairy and gluten intolerant I couldn’t have the oat. Also I asked if there was a tray bake to which they offered me carrot cake because it was vegan but luckily I asked another staff member to be double sure and was told it had gluten in it. I’m so glad I asked otherwise I would’ve been very ill. The girl who served it was apologetic but they really need to not only accommodate all allergies but make sure they know the ingredients before serving. I won’t be back there and if you have allergies I would think twice about going.

Went several times and the food is really bad, of very poor quality!

Awesome! Particularly the Curried Chicken sandwich! (no red onions please!)

Great wee cafe. My new go too after the cosy chair is gone. Great choice of food and sweet stuff and friendly staff.

Nice food but menu could be more varied, pleasant staff

Pleasant surroundings. Very reasonable prices

Great food and attentive friendly staff

Friendly chilled atmosphere. Service is excellent. Staff bend over backwards to help you. Food is spot on

Great meal. I use this place time and time again.

Friendly staff. Fresh food. Nice 👍🤓

1st time visiting this place.. Brillant service.. Friendly well trained staff.. Superb food... Can't wait to return.. Thank you.. The staff is a credit to your training and your company, well done

Tasty food and coffee, customer service is great, love a weekly visit to this spot!

Lovely tasty food, reasonably priced, with good service

Very nice food , lovely breakfast

I've been here a few times. Very friendly and helpful staff. Always a smile. Food excellent and we'll presented BUT losing one star because of serious lack of vegetarian options. In this day and age, I would have thought it would make good business sense to appeal to the many, and growing number, of veggies out there. Still, wouldn't put me off going back.

Fantastic service staff are so friendly and helpful food is really good

Lovely food and drinks. Coffee was delicious and we had bacon and cheese ciabattas scones and milkshakes

Our favourite coffee shop, great food, friendly staff and excellent service

Relaxing place for a coffee or light lunch. Lovely view of sea if you sit at the back. Attentive staff

Best coffee and poached eggs in area

Nice venue, friendly staff. The food presentation was very poor. Not the most exciting tastes.

Not a bad wee spot. Food is decent enough and it's no more overly priced than anywhere else.

Over priced not the tastys breakfast

Lovely food and staff are amazing

The food was great the staff were fantastic great night ❤️

It's a really pleasant change to visit a nice restaurant with good food and follow the guidelines of the health authorities regarding the protection of their staff and customers. I have not been in a restaurant that the staff continuously clean the seating areas before and after customers sit down, well done to the staff and the management/owners. The food is fresh, well prepared and presented to a high standard.

Good coffee and a great view at back of shop.

COVID-19 😷but what a sandwich 😁 Hey sorry about the title but it is what it is 🤔 yip it was just perfect and the staff where so pleasant and yip smiled 😁😁and boy do I luv staff that smile and can have a laugh 👍 The atmosphere was good and the decor exciting with art work on the walls which I may add inc some Terry Bradley’s 😜 Not a lot I can add but go on give it a try and enjoy 😉

Lovely cafe kept spotless and staff friendly. Food brilliant

One of my favourite places for lunch the food is excellent Well worth a visit

I love whose art cafe and go there quite a lot it’s maybe not the sort of place I would go to for dinner more lunch or brunch. The food is very nice and the staff are even better definitely going back soon. The value of money is good to compared to some other places definitely recommend. Thanks

Friendly staff and great choice on the menu. Beautiful views over Belfast Lough too

A little disappointed here. As a regular enough customer I was surprised when we were asked to vacate our seats. Totally understand businesses needing to get back on their feet but felt it greedy to ask paying customers to leave. Have to be honest, felt the place was too busy in the current circumstances. Tables not too far apart and large majority of staff walking around with masks on their chins. Pretty pointless. Won’t be back until they sort out their numbers and appreciate that a paying customer should be allowed to stay for as long as they wish.

Nice staff.Food reasonably priced

Great food and excellent service. Well worth a visit

Able to get booked here at short notice, which we appreciated. Seating was not the most comfortable but staff very friendly and food was quite nice and we had a pleasant time. Overall not too badly priced either.

Whose is still on top form post lock up 🙂

Excellent coffee and great choice of milks.... I've only had scones but they're lovely with a great choice from plain to white chocolate! Staff are friendly and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. My only negative would be that it really needs a refurb, looking dated with some very uncomfortable chairs and a dismal toilet!

Love the view and friendly staff. Serves tea in a pot which I love! Desserts are worth a look as well.

Visited this restaurant yesterday for Sunday brunch with a few relations. Got a table relatively quickly & the fry food order arrived very promptly. We all enjoyed the meal vet much but the only downside was the constant draft on our back. We queried this...

This place is great nice fresh food the poached eggs bacon and homemade toasted wheaten bread is scrumptious. Daughter loves the cream cheese with smoked salmon bagels grand_daughter loves the chilli chicken strips sweet potato fries and 🥗salad.

Lovely coffee, food really nice. Staff friendly.

Visiting from America and I've been in twice in as many weeks. Food here is always extremely fresh and well made. I got the curry chicken avocado tomato sandwich and breakfast tea. I was extremely satisfied with the food and also found myself wanting to try a bit of everyone else's as theirs looked just as good. Great experience, highly recommend, will go back my next time over.

Marty and I My toasted cheese vegetarian chiabatta was yummy 😋 The chicken and pesto toasted sour dough toasty was scrummy

Beautiful place...friendly staff...my friend had a goats cheese salad and I had a baguette...very tasty...place was full to the brim which is understandable... Will definitely be returning... Well done.

Lovely food, great service and superb atmosphere

Stopped for a coffee and lunch while out for a walk. Beautiful views of Belfast lough when seated at the back of cafe. The staff where helpful and friendly. Food was good and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Really friendly staff. Great food, we had toasties and chips. Would definitely come back. They need their sound system fixed though as music kept skipping.

Great coffee and food selection! Busy and vibrant with great surroundings

A friend took me here on Saturday and what a delightful place it is. With such an array of appetising delights on display, it was a tough choice deciding what to have. I ordered a cheese and ham croissant, toasted and presented with a little...

Love this place....staff, food ambience all fab

Great wee place in the heart of whiteabbey, great food and nice sea view, recommended

Always love going here for lunch. Friendly staff and the food is excellent

Great coffee, croissants and scones...nice view across the Lough.
