I have passed this place hundreds of times but yesterday I decided to give it a try. I can safely say I'm delighted I did as I had the nicest chicken fillet burger, I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. We also tried the homemade pork sausage roll and it was also delicious. The food was excellent as was the service. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you.

Wow, came here for lunch with a few work colleagues and it was fantastic. There were 5 of us but they managed to get us squeezed in despite it being quite busy. Food arrived promptly, all clearly freshly made and piping hot. I had the festive toasted sourdough with chicken, stuffing, cranberry sauce and brie, amazing! All the ladies who work here are very friendly, warm and welcoming, I wish them every success with the cafe. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, a fantastic spot for lunch in Lisburn.

We arrived for breakfast and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. We were given time to view the menu and were told they would make us what we wanted. The food was delicious, well prepared and hot. The ladies were very friendly and helpful and was pleasantly surprised I actually knew one of the ladies. So had a lovely catch-up. We definitely will be back and family members of ours went a few days later and also had the same experience. Thank-you ladies.

Have to give it all fives. A lovely, warm, personable, caring place, the food was really tasty and reasonably priced, the staff where lovely and especially kind toward kids, they took the time to chat and left us alone when we needed it, the only slight annoyance is being asked a few times if we needed anything else and if everything was ok. But that is a small gripe that doesn’t take away from the overall. Highly recommend, go and try and see what you think.

One of the best bagels I've had in ages. Bagel and a coffee just shy of £12. Cosy and welcoming, my only regret is not knowing about this cafe sooner!

Called in today for the first time, certainly won't be the last time! Such a small place but fantastic selection of food on offer, all home made. Served by a very attentive lady who made us so welcome! My daughter is lactose intolerant so it's always great to find somewhere that can cater for her so effortlessly. She had scrambled eggs made with oat milk, the best vegan sausage roll we have ever tasted and an amazing vegan brownie. We will definitely be back. This place is a hidden gem.
