    The Bay Tree
    Jules S.

    A friend and I popped in for breakfast on Friday, and what a joy. It has been some time since I've been in, and I was thrilled to see it hadn't changed. Cosy corners for cosy chats, and busy enough to provide a nice buzz on a cold morning. We both went for the big breakfast. The service was a little slow, so by the time it arrived we were starving, but we certainly weren't by the time we left. It was filling and not at all greasy the way some breakfasts can be, with a healthy dose of carbs in the shape of 3 different types of fried bread! Because it is hidden down a cute alleyway it feels like a little solace in the car park which is Holywood main street, so hunt it out, you won't be disappointed.

    A hidden gem in Hollywood, I haven't been here in quite a while but it's still the same. Cosy, friendly staff and good food. I highly recommend the award winning cherry scone. The also provide outside catering and do theme nights on a Friday evening. Being a bit of a beer snob they find wonderful craft beers to try out.

    Well, Toasted turned out to be quite the little treat! With about a half hour to kill between the…read morepoint we had to drop our daughter off for school and then be back in time to see her play, we didn't have too many options, and as a result called in here. I've seen the sign out on the main road (which would be easy to miss) every day as it's on my commute to work and yet I've never been in. So this worked out well. What a great hidden gem, loved this place. If you're looking for it, it is opposite the attendant-less Maxol garage, down the side of the used car place. The décor has all the hallmarks of a trendy contemporary coffee shop/deli, nothing too original, but to their credit they have distilled the design to the best elements of it and then executed the layout very well, so it's a nice place to be. The staff were great too which I love as there is little to endear a place to me more quickly than nice people working there who are nice, not through customer training but because they are just good folks!! The food when was great, a wide range of mouth-watering choices are clearly displayed across the huge menu..... which is the entire back wall of the place. It has been painted in blackboard paint and the menu chalked up in big clear writing. The prices although on the higher end of average aren't extortionate by any means so I wouldn't call it cheap eats but you get top quality food and service for just north of average price. The coffee was great, which is an essential element for me and the last thing I ate was a scone..... as we were there so early, it was freshly backed and still warm from the oven......................... so so good!

    Nice little find 5 mins from our vacation home. amazing baked goods, solid breakfast and proper…read morecoffee.

On a sunny Holywood day you'll find it tough to get a seat outside and this was the case today. Instead of sitting outside we thought that we would visit the most airy bright café available and Eighty One came up trumps. Seated at a high table we were presented with the brunch/breakfast menu - the menu itself was full of variety - I opted for the Eggs Benedict with an Irish twist. This Irish twist was instead of a muffin the perfectly poached eggs were delicately placed on a piece of soda bread. The meal was small but perfectly formed - a perfect brunch treat. At £6.95 this was maybe a little bit steep especially in competitive Holywood. The serving staff were great - as soon as we entered we were given a choice of tables and our orders were taken promptly. One thing to note if you're a mid morning drinker they serve Prosecco with floating raspberry and breakfast martinis.

    Tapas and acoustic tunes, what more could you want on a Friday evening after a long weeks work?…read more EightyOne is a chic, classy establishment in the heart of Holywood. With a relaxed atmosphere and great staff you feel at ease as soon as you walk in the door. For £14 you can have 3 tapas plates and a carfe of wine! We went for the amazing sweet potato plate, the king prawns and the chorizo plates. Being particularly hungry we also added the chilli popcorn, the fresh bread and oils. As far as Tapas goes this incredible both in terms of the deal and the taste. Bravo EightyOne! We will be back to sample more of your tapas delights!

As I looked around at the various features, I was left wondering 'why so many lemons?!' And then it hit me. The cafe was called The Lemon Tree, and I hadn't even noticed. How embarrassing. Aside from the lemon tree theme and name, there wasn't a literal lemon to be seen. Not even on my sister's scampi (which was deemed delicious despite the lack of said lemon). Cute name though. The Lemon Tree is somewhere you would imagine to be located in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales. With it's wooden chairs, old-fashioned lace table cloths, huge dark fireplace and low ceilings, this cafe certainly has a very snug and traditional feel to it. The menu reflects this, with a good number of solid 'pub grub' type options, including soup, pies, sandwiches etc. As I previously mentioned, my sister opted for the scampi, which came with a massive side of chunky chips, while I went for the chicken goujons (predictable...as always) with a load of those fab chips, plus a sweet chilli dip. The scampi was gorgeous, the chips were wonderful, and the goujons weren't bad at all. If only they'd been coated in breadcrumbs though...why do these places insist on making them in batter?! A very pleasant, homely experience, which left us well-fed and happy...no bitter tastes whatsoever.

I t is not exactly cutting edge here, it is more meeting your granny for a scone and afternoon tea than moccachinos and lattes to energise you and then send you off to a high street of hustle and bustle. They do a range of breakfast meals like fried and pancakes, soups, quiches, salads, sandwiches, wraps, scones and a range of tray bakes, all of a homemade nature. Everything is lovingly made and prepared. Things here are homely, filling and satisfying, if nothing particularly mind-blowing. A chance stop off here will not be a bad choice, though try and go in will someone older or you may feel a bit out of place!
