Rather than being greasy the breakfast called the 'Healthy Grill' consisted of toasted wheaten bread, a poached egg, a grilled slice of bacon and even a cherry tomato as garnish and it wasn't swimming in grease! I washed my breakfast down was an excellent flat white, despite the option of a flat white not being on the menu when I asked if they did it the proprietor said, 'I can do anything you want!' This is what I call adding value to an experience. The service overall was excellent. Myself and 3 friends entered The Funky Penguin at 11am and were dragging our satisfied stomachs out the door by 11:40am. The décor is quirky with penguins dotted around the interior alluding to the name and mugs with on trend moustaches. Tucked away just off Bangor's Main Street with plenty of parking close by why not make The Funky Penguin your next breakfast pit stop?

In the end my wife had to put on a facemask as the smell was making her feel ill. Very disappointed as in the past while seated on the ground floor out of the path of the toilets everything is great. Once we came back downstairs the smell of the coffee masked the toilets. I don't think I would return.

On a wee jaunt to Bangor today I thought I would grab a quick café lunch with my mother dearest and…read morethe first place that popped in to my head was Café Brazilia - although when I walked up to the door there was a frightening queue of ladies with prams patiently waiting for a table - So I didn't even bother to go in. Instead I went to The Red Berry - Although it was second choice on this occasion I think next time I'm in Bangor it will be my first port of call, here's why; The Red Berry is extremely spacious - we got a seta at the window and although it was busy we could comfortably chat without getting distracted or overhearing other tables. You have to order at the counter, so go in, grab a table, look at the menu (on big boards behind the counter) then go and order. The food selection was great - a nice healthy menu. I opted for the Goats cheese and Chicken and it was excellent - loads of chicken! It was cheap too - for three meals plus 3 huge (and I mean HUGE) hot drinks it came to £23. Added bonus - service was rapid. I noticed that they also sold Suki Tea and had a rather large and tempting selection of cakes - perfect for a quick snack as well as a hearty lunch. All in all I'm glad we choose Red Berry - the food was great and the bill was even better!

The decor is quirky (without trying too hard as sometimes places that try to be quirky can be) and ambiance is lovely. whether you are seated in the backroom which is the cosiest I think, or one of the front areas, where you get a lovely view of the bay, it is a pleasure just to sit here. The staff are always friendly and pretty fast and so great to engage with, but I think one of the stars of going here is the food and coffee. The menu is inventive and will have something to please everyone, and so delicious for the most part. I tend to gravitate towards a favourite that they do... eggs in purgatory... but anything Ive tried has been great!

Wow. This place is a hidden gem…read more I only went for breakfast but they also do a bed and breakfast service. The customer service is next to none. The guy that welcomed us is eccentric and so friendly. The front door was opened before we even reached it and we where very warmly Welcomed and led into the dining room to sit at a table with an amazing view. The food was great and the you had plenty to choose from off the menu. I would probably go for the French toast next time as it looked awesome. Staff continually ask do you want coffee refills. They have a wee shop out the back selling gifts. Parking is on street and easy. A great place to go for breakfast and walk along the sea front. It's like being in another world. So good to be away from the pace of city life. Can't wait to go back.

After seeing quite a few different places we settled on here as it looked quite nice from the outset. So it turns out that on occasion its actually OK to judge a book by its cover. Firstly the staff in here were very nice and welcoming, which is always important when settling in and starting to enjoy a new place. Then the menu was pretty impressive...... all good so far. It was mid morning (as was our next visit) and so we were looking mainly at the breakfast menu. we got the Creme fry each and were not disappointed. It seems like an odd thing to rave about when talking about a fry, but in a fry that was in all aspects well above average, that the mushrooms were one of the stand out features!!!! I think they were done in some kind of salt and chilli combo or something (perhaps not chilli, but something) and were sooooo tasty. The coffee was excellent as well and can be bought separately to take home, so they've clearly done a bit of work getting a decent bean for theirs. There is a wide variety of cakes . muffins and the like that can be bought to have there or to take away and they are excellent. We had some there and they were great. We also bought an olive loaf to take away with us which was one of the best we've had in a while, used it t make some pretty decent sandwiches at home. Certainly will be making a point of going here a good bit more from now on.

On a busy Saturday mid-morning several weeks ago myself and two friends availed ourselves of three excellently cooked fries before attending a football match not we're not in the slightest bit greasy and set us up perfectly for the day... Sausage, bacon x2, egg and x2 of potato and soda bread and tomato for £5.95 including cup of coffee or pot of tea was a great price and when the very friendly staff member saw 3 tomatoes still on the plate he suggested next time to ask for it to be substituted and there would be no problem and he also said they will soon be adding hash browns with bits on bacon in them so I shall definitely be there again soon...!! They offer all other usual breakfast options you would expect, is close to several shops if you want to gets some bits and bobs and there is a bank machine literally attached to the café which is handy...! As a resident of Ballyholme and dog-walker I also like how they usually have two dog bowls of water out the front of the shop as the area is heaving with fellow walkers due to its proximity to the beach... Nice touches like that make all the difference
