You can also sit in here and try some of their home made delights and sandwiches. I'm afraid to though in case I never leave! Great place! With great staff and a real traditional homely atmosphere.

There are days, especially when it's pouring, when the occasion demands food that's comforting and…read moresimple. On just such a day I decided to get some lunch at Mackeys, which besides a home bakery with lots of delicious cakes and breads has a cosy coffee shop in the back. The fried bacon and sausage looked rather nice so I had that with their fresh soda bread and tea which was served up quickly and was as good as it looked. There were also things chicken and broccoli bake, lasagne and chips along with scones. A great spot for a straightforward refuel with no pretensions to anything other than coming up with the goods.

Jeffers Bakery is a lovely old fashioned type of bakery and cafe. Downstairs is the bakery, where…read moreone can purchase a huge range of delicious cakes, buns, breads and sandwiches to take out. Their filled sodas are absolutely delicious - I have tried numerous times to make them myself at home, but they never taste as good as they do in Jeffers. Celebration cakes can also be made to order here, including platters of goddies such as sausage rolls and vol-au-vents. Upstairs is the cafe/tea shop - there is always a delicious range of food available to view on the hot plate, my favourite is the filled baked potato with bacon and cheese, closely followed by the quiche with salad or the vegetarian pizza slice. They can also make up cold meals such as salads or sandwiches to order.

This is a really nice bakery and cafe on Bow Street in Lisburn. The bakery is downstairs and offers…read morea great range of homemade cakes, pastries, breads and scones. All of which are great! The cafe upstairs offers a nice range of homemade lunches or which I actually love their salads. Mainly as they justify the cake I proceed to have after it! Plus it's fresh and delicious too. They also make cakes to order if you've a birthday or special occasion coming up and the prices across the board in here are fairly good! Jefferson's has a real traditional homely charm that makes a refreshing change from subway or Starbucks.

Their cakes all looked so nice I couldn't choose just one so ended up with a box, on the pretence I would share them with my better half at home with some tea. I didn't. But I would certainly recommend their cakes and scones! So yummy! Prices are great too and they also offer some hot food inside too which I will certainly have to try next time I'm down this way!

This is a funny old fashioned wee place. I have eaten in here a couple of time when shopping in…read moreLisburn. They have a small range of hot food, buns, cakes, and pre packaged sandwiches available, including soft drinks, mineral waters, tea and coffee, plus ample space throughout to relax and enjoy your food. I particularly enjoy the large vol-au-vents they do, and I often pop in to see if they have any in, but unfurtunately one of the problems with Hedley's is, they don't have a great range, so I imagine you have to be in quite early to get a decent selection. I also tried one of their pre-packaged sanwiches, which was ham and cheese on brown bread, and it was not far off being inedible, the bread was dry and the ham and cheese were of poor quality, but I was pretty hungry and it did the job.

Any time I've gone in at lunch times the service has been swift and undelayed. Other than the portions being a tiny bit bigger there could be 1 or 2 ore choices on the board to give a slightly wider selection. You can buy the lovely fresh bread they make to take home too, I'd recommend it.
