Nice and clean, tables always cleared and a nice atmosphere and ambience that a lot of other chain coffee shops don't have! Food and drinks are always very tasty and their selection of desserts, buns and tray bakes are all locally sourced so its all fresh and well proportioned. Price wise suitable to slightly pricey but you honestly don't mind paying for the delights you get! Overall, this has to be our favourite place to hang out and people watch while enjoying our grub!

Stax is a cute neighborhood sandwich and coffee shop! There is a small indoor seating area with…read morethree tables, as well as an outdoor seating area. Much of the food is deli-style where you choose your own ingredients for toasties or sandwiches. A cute quirk is that the menu posted on the wall is written backwards: so you have to look in the mirror to read it properly. We came for a (second) breakfast, so Mom wanted more of a lunch. She ordered a turkey and cheese toastie with sauce on the side. It was much larger than she thought it would be! I had an egg and bacon sandwich​ with poached eggs. It was simple and delicious, with two perfectly poached eggs and nice thick bacon! I also had a tea which was good! The food was piping hot. Service was good, and the staff was very nice! Stax is my kind of sandwich shop, and definitely somewhere I'd eat again!

First and foremost, well done to them for coming up with the name. I think Sarnie Schwarzeneggers…read moreis hilarious, and this is what drew my attention to it in the first place. I wasn out and about on the Wednesday lunchtime I was in the area, and looking for a place to grab a quick bite, and this more than did the job for me. It's small inside, and had it have been busier, I'd have had no chance of getting a seat, so luckily I was eating on the go, not that there were no tables free when I was in. They have a vast array of choices on their menu, and they also offer a delivery service, but of course, being the picky thing I am, I always like to choose my own, so they were only to happy to accommodate my tuna and cheese with may on granary bread, which was soft, fresh, delicious, and a fab price. Top class!

I would recommend first timers go for either the terminator or the Italian both are top notch. The staff are very accommodating and will for those of us more conscious of calories, they are happy to rustle up a mean salad.... they even have low fat salad dressing. Like the other reviewers mentioned, it was the name which attracted me first of all and now every time I'm at the abbeycentre or anywhere round there i make a point of grabbing a sandwich to go. Good value, good atmosphere, good food and easy to park. 5 Stars Sarnies... Well done and good luck!

I feel that it may be a type of Meil et Moi goes to Holywood Patisserie, coffee house & Eatery. It will serve fine coffees with small sweet bites of patisseries, which enhance the flavour of the coffee. The launch evening gave people a taster of some of the fine food that it will be serving. There were some tasty goats cheese, salmon and cucumber canapes and some charcuterie and tapanades which give a taster of the savoury foods in store. We were also treated to some prosecco follwed by a sample of the patisseries i.e Black fruit domes, Raspberry fruit domes, macaroons, mini cheescakes and a good selection of others. We were able to sneak away with some small rhubarb and apple crumble pies, cherry tarts and other little treats to try. They were delicious. I can't wait to call into the Living Room for lunch or afternoon coffee. Staff were all very friendly and the decor was classy, but relaxed and comfortable.

The young girl who served our party was delightful, very well presented and a good knowledge of the coffee. The young chap behind the counter has a smile that would please the unhappiest of person, a joy to watch. Although the establishment was very busy, this did not effect the quality of service. Fast and efficient. The manager even took the time to explain the whole concept of the Living Room and you really understand where they are coming from. Low tables are my only concern and as a larger man, It can pose a slight issue. I pointed this out to the manager and he explained why they did it that way and the plans going forward. He had so much passion about this business I was surprised to discover that he did not own the business himself. I wish him and all his staff every success but, honestly, with the direction and service they give, it will have no problems on that front.

I still love the Coffee Yard and for the most part the review I wrote for it a good while ago is…read morestill true, coffee, food, service, all great (if fractionally over the odds pricing.. but the quality is there to justify it). The only reason I'm writing this and loosing 2 stars, is because since COVID the upstairs part of the Yard has not reopened, it seems to have been given over to the adjoined art gallery, meaning that the yard itself gas been given over to just being the (slightly dark) narrow cramped feeling bit at the back of the premises which means its a lot less nice to sit in. The upstairs was so much nicer, more natural light, space, a fire in winter and often live background music, so wonderful. So... I really hope to be coming back in the future when I realise the upstairs is open again and stick this back up to 5 stars!!!!

Ladies who lunch everywhere you look! This Holywood High Street café seems to attract high-class…read moreHolywood residents and for good reason. The food is out of this world and the ambiance is even better. Joint on to an art gallery the Yard really is a masterpiece of relaxation. One thing that sets the Yard apart from the huge amount of competition in Holywood is the staff. Firstly there's always an abundance of them and secondly they are always extremely informative and helpful. Back to the all important food - Don't expect to get a huge feed at the Yard, it really is a café in its traditional sense. They sell tray-bakes, pastries, French toast and deserts as well as stocking local teas and coffee. There's a car park out the back of the Yard and you can use the back entrance if you're parked here.

With out doubt one of the best sandwich shops in the centre of Belfast. These guys really do the…read morebasics very well when it comes to the sandwich. Unlike most other city centre locations they don't mess around with hot sandwiches or paninis etc.. They keep it simple by offering an unreal selection of high quality fresh fillings and salads. The portion sizes are ridiculous (in a good way) they pile so much in it's hard to see how they make any money! My personal fav it's their club sandwich, this easily the biggest sandwich you can buy in Belfast, it's costs just over a fiver but would easily do two people. Along side the quality produce and massive portions the service is second to none. Bob and Christine run it and their banter alone is worth a visit, a nice touch is also the fact they give you a free apple with every sandwich for a healthy desert.

Was here at lunchtime and well impressed. I got a chicken and stuffing sandwich on granary with…read morelettuce and tomato. Then I realised that all salads are free and they fairly fill up the sandwiches and salad bowls look immense. They don't do toasties or hot food. All food is extremely fresh and you can see them chopping up all the vegetables behind, and the chicken is freshly cooked chicken breast not pre-cut frozen bags. Family run friendly business, and great to see these still exist and are going strong. You even get a wee bag of harbio on leaving - be warned he doesn't let you leave unless you take one!!
