On the drive to Belfast, I suddenly became very hungry and realized I needed to grab a bite to eat…read moreASAP. Banbridge was the next town on our route, so we drove down the main drag and happened upon Rosehip Cafe. The bakery was lively, with many local families picking up delicious treats and snacks. We walked to the back to the cafe area, and ordered paninis and soup. We didn't know when we ordered, but the soup came with fresh, fluffy rolls. Even though we had ordered sandwiches, we ended up eating the rolls too because they were so tasty! The paninis were standard compared to others we had in Ireland, but the soup really was exceptional. I had the chicken and vegetable, and it reminded me of home. I took most of my panini to go. Service was quick and friendly. One star off because the restrooms were a little messy. There was a sign that said to alert the staff if they were not up to par, but it didn't look like that had happened while I was there. So many of the pastries and bars at the bakery looked delicious, but I refrained. If I'm ever back, I'll indulge. :)

My GF is a real fan, she goes there lots and lots with her mates, me less so, been a few times and the food is excellent (I have only ever had the fry mind you!) The manager is a really nice guy, friendly and charming which is more than I can say about some of the female 'specimens' roaming about, not to mention the 'bouncer' who clears the tables...he scares the bejeezus out of me, scowling all over the place daring anyone to leave a crumb on a side plate. The food menu is standard sandwiches paninis etc and hot stuff at lunch time, all very wholesome and tasty. An added bonus is the bakery at one end you can pick up a delicious naughty bun to enjoy with your generous pot of tea.

The staff are friendly, care for community and the environment, don't have greedy shareholders who only care for loadsa money and it has a delightful ambiance. So not just five stars but five green stars to boot. Really worth supporting.

Fortunately I have always been taught to not judge a book by its cover, and this old adage has proved ripe and useful yet again when brought into the context of this place! This place has been up and running for decades now and has been able to survive the downturn in footfall to the Ballynahinch main street due to the new stupid road system due to a core pool of loyal customers. They are loyal for good reason. Warm and friendly staff, freshly baked breads of all types and genres ranging from traditional Irish favourites to more modern breads, to a wide range of buns, cake and tray bakes. This place does an unbelievable mars bar krispie square if my memory serves me correctly! So know that whatever baked goods you need, you will be in good hands here!
