I found out about Lost & Found on Instagram, though I couldn't tell you how anymore. When I was…read moreplanning my trip to Northern Ireland, I knew it was a must visit just because of their Insta aesthetic, which sounds so millennial, but I wasn't wrong! Lost & Found was my final stop on a day trip from Belfast to Bushmills to Carrick-a-Rede and then to Coleraine for a Friday night pizza here. Fridays are the only days they do Pizza and if you're around Coleraine or can get yourself there, just go. You won't regret it. Reservations are required and easy to make on their website, and upon arrival we were seated right away. My friend and I both ordered a pizza and neither of us were disappointed. In fact, the only disappointing thing about the experience was knowing that we had to leave Coleraine and come home to New York. The staff were warm, friendly, and so, so welcoming and the pizza was outstanding. If you're in Ireland (North or South) or traveling through this wonderful country, do yourself a favor and make this a spot that you get to, even if it's out of your way. Months later I still dream of going back here.

Awesome place. Like…read moreEstablished coffee in Belfast. Though with more space and seating. Hipster hub of the North. Lol Lovely food. I had carrot and honey soup for £4 with bread. Friend had a fancy sausage bap that was also lush. Lots of desert choices. Staff are also nice.

The pastries, the buns, the cream cakes, the birthday treats, the bread, the oh so soft whipped ice cream and, much to my amazement, the slush puppies ...wow! I didn't even know you could get these any more, I had to have one after I saw one kid with a half red, half blue slushy. Ah childhood. How I miss thee! It's good to see old traditions never die! Sandra's seems to be a half grocery shop / local newsagent as much as a bakery, though they certainly do that right, the store handily also sells a few newspapers, confectionery, various tobacco, light grocery and a few magazines. I'm sure it's a great place for the locals as a one stop shop. I have to give brownie points for the slushies too! Happy me!

Sandra's is a strange little establishment, with a shop in the front and the bakery in the back. Seems like an odd combination maybe, but what's better than calling in for your paper and milk and picking up a cream bun to go with it?? I've yet to try anything other than their bread and freshly made sandwiches, but so far, I've had no complaints...which is most unusual...

The Belfry has been a regular spot for me for a take out lunch for the past 15 years. In that…read moretime, it hasn't changed inside but still manages not to seem dated. Maybe that's because my attention is always fixed firmly on the food in the chiller cabinets. The Belfry is always busy and it's not hard to see why. You choose from a French stick, bread, bagel, wrap or roll, all of which are just baked fresh, and then choose your fillings. The fillings aren't the most imaginative but boy are they good. Crispy bacon, grated cheddar that tastes like a good strong cheddar and not plastic, fresh salad, chicken, turkey and proper off the bone ham. Prices are very competitive given how fresh and tasty the sandwiches are at around £3 each and the French sticks are enormous. You can also get lasagne, chicken pie, etc and chorizo, cheese, pate and sun blush tomatoes if you fancy a little picnic. There's also a fab range of chutneys, biscuits, crackers and jams etc which look just as good in your kitchen as they taste when you scoff them. A definite and lasting favourite of mine.

Most of the seating is in fact outside which obviously does not bode well for a poor day weather wise. Aside from this they offer a good selection of breads, salads, and sweets. Its a clean and inviting place with nice staff who are quick and effiecient. You would pay slightly more than your run of the mill bakery bu I think thats to be expected in places such as this.

The cabbage and bacon was absolutely delicious. Their chicken was a big hit with many of the surrounding tables ordering them so we had to try them. I am glad that we did because they were fried to perfection and served with a wonderful garlic sauce. We also had a grilled cheese and onion sandwich that was very good. The absolute best part of the meal was the bakery items. Their salted caramel cake was to die for. It was three layered and super fresh. The pumpkin roll was also absolute perfection. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

Belfast Baking Company is located on the main Gilnahirk road, near the Maxol station and beside Corries Farm Butchers. Parking is tight in the area but it's worth taking your time and popping by if you can. There's a few tables and chairs outside the branch to site and indulge in some treats and inside you'll find all the things you'd expect from the Northern Ireland Bakery of the year, 2016. The Cherryvalley branch is stylish, well stocked and the staff were very helpful. Samples were provided too of a few items and I'll be heading back soon for some of their pecan pies as a result. I opted for some veda, baps and a few patisserie items but to be honest I couldn't bought one of everything as the presentation was stunning! Items are well packaged for travel too - top points here! If you're in the area, make sure to pop in and have look around, you won't leave empty handed.
