The food is up there with the best of them for the most part, just falling (very slightly) short of the standards of the likes of Picnic in Killyleagh. On the other hand though the place is more spacious and comfortable that the aforementioned eatery and has a nice view out over the bay. The staff are friendly and helpful and the quirky décor is a pleasure. Even the toilets have Astroturf walls! Although it may be a little less convenient that some of the places closer to the centre of Newcastle it's worth going the 2 minute up the road (in the car) to give this place a whirl.

We had lunch when we were there, mine was quiche with a baked potato and cheese and it was SO TASTY! They also do frequent competitions on Facebook to win free meals, here's hoping!!

Remarkably we were able to sit outside the cafe as the mid afternoon temperature had hit a balmy 17c, phew. We settled into the outside bench style seating. The coffees were really ace quality and the service quick and friendly. It's a very small cafe in a very small seaside town close to the Irish border and it's just a two minute walk down the street to the seafront and the mostly pebble beach with great views of the Cooley and Mourne mountains. The cafe was busy although I'd imagine it's the holiday periods and Sunday tourist trade that allows it to survive. I did look at the small harbour to see if the ferry boat was crossing from Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland but I couldn't see it. I think it's called the red star line run by a private family for most of my lifetime - a unique experience if you ever get the chance but it's possible that the relatively new Carlingford ferry has stolen much of its trade.

Just see the images below.. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are always friendly. The interior is very modern too which is refreshing in comparison to some of the other coffee shops Lisburn has to offer.

The Lisburn store has two floors- downstairs on entering you are suddenly hit with the beautiful aroma of freshly brewed coffee, then your eyes are drawn immediately to the various cakes, scones and tray bakes sitting on top of a counter with paninis, wraps, sandwiches and more tasty delights below. The menu here is on the wall and is always pretty hard to choose from as everything sounds so good. Each time I have been in there has been a small queue but this gives you time to browse the menu and decide which cake tempts you most. The staff are friendly and prices are average for a coffee shop. The interior is fresh and well designed with a lift for disabled access. Upstairs there is a large seated area and the wall display of old coffee distribution sacks are very eye-catching. I fully recommend their French toast which comes piled with crispy bacon and maple syrup washed down with an iced caramel coffee (healthy I know!!)

This shop is displaying art made by people from the Ard's Peninsula and is run on a rota by the artists themselves. As you would imagine in a seaside town the art is very much themed around the sea and the local countryside. There were some beautiful earrings and necklaces made from local stones and shells which were very inexpensive indeed. There were also some beautiful drawings of the sea, boats and the marina. Lots of little pieces at decent prices. The lady who was on duty was really nice and she let me get on with it while she sat on the windowsill having a smoke and chatting to her neighbours - a very relaxed feeling and a truly unique little store!
