It was a drizzly March afternoon when we arrived, and the place was quiet as there was an hour to go until closing. The cafe itself was cute, with mismatched chairs and tables - so familiar in quirky 'offbeat' metropolitan cafes, but offered something a little different in this small town. We had open sandwiches and coffees, the bread was superb, everything was freshly prepared and it tasted like it. The proprietors, a young couple, were pleasant without being overenthusiastic, a trait that rings false in some Dublin cafes. We were left to eat our food in peace. As we paid they kindly gave us a couple of complimentary pastries to take with us - which were most appreciated when we reached our final destination. Shortly thereafter we encountered Ursa Minor bread in Babushka in Portrush! Great to see that a young local business is thriving all over Northern Ireland!

You get in line and order at the counter. Then we found a table to sit at. I order the chicken goujon sandwich. Super good and filling. It came with fries and there were condiments you can grab and use for your table. The employees were very friendly. After we ate our lunch, we got back in line to grab some pastries to eat when we got back in the car. Definitely a place to stop if you're sight seeing along the coast!

This place is nice enough. It's going for the higher end market quite clearly and that is sort of…read morethe problem here. It charges the prices to match. This would be ok but it is the sort of place you'd like to pop in to for a coffee and bite at lunch time. Here that's going to cost you close to or maybe even more than £10 by the time you get a coffee, main lunch (sandwich or sarnie/soup deal) and maybe a little something sweet for desert. To be fair I have to say the coffee although not exceptional is above average, and I think I'd say the same about the food. So that's my problem really, yeah it's very much dead on, but the prices just don't tally with me with what's on offer.

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.

At £24 for two this really is a steal. Sandwiches of your choice, scones (with the usual accompaniments) and some yummy traybakes. This is more like non pretentious, Northern Irish style afternoon tea. With the tray bakes including mini fifteens and malteaser squares. If you are looking for something cutesy, scrumptious and not breaking the bank then look no further! Will definitely be back. Don't forget to check out the gift shop for some trinkets and the perfect gifts for mums.

Well what can I say my mum took me out for lunch to this place over Easter week and I was a bit…read moresceptical. Tea rooms attached to a garden centre, tend not to have the most out there reputation. I'm glad to say my scepticism was blown out of the water. This place is definitely a little gem of Belfast. The actual tea rooms/restaurant are an elegantly appointed building with stunning views of the countryside. You feel like you are in the great hall of some stately Victorian home. Sumptuous décor and a varied and delicious sounding menu. As we were there during the week we availed of the two courses for £9.99 (I think that was the price so apologies if I got this wrong, my mum was paying) We both ordered the soup for starter, Butternut Squash, chilli and coconut. Very tasty and a huge portion, I couldn't finish mine because I wanted to leave room for the main. My mother ordered slow cooked beef brisket, Mash and roast root veg while I had the smoked haddock, creamy bacon and leek sauce and the same sides. I cannot fault the food, it was delicious. My only tipple would have been that a selection of different sides for the fish may have been a little better, Maybe some samphire and potato croquets or some such. We also caught a glimpse of their cram tea on another table which looked stunning (I think the Waitress said it was £20/25 per head) Overall an amazing place for lunch, but it doesn't end there. They also offer a dinner menu Thursday to Saturday and it is BYO so definitely cannot be doing wrong there. I highly recommend this place for lunch or for dinner! If you go for dinner though I think you have to book as this place is making its mark on the map and seems to be getting ever more popular!

It is surrounded by the close confines of Ashlea Cottages in a coastal village that seems like a throwback to a bygone era in a very good way. We sampled the scones and the shortbread along with various coffees on couple of visits and found everything delightful.

The cottages make for a perfect vacation hub for families visiting the Antrim coast and this little cafe allows for the perfect start to each day of exploration.

Friendly, helpful and never let our teapot go empty!
