The 30 Best Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Bangor

“A very small coffe shop with a great selction of delicious cakes and scones. Seating may be limited inside but on a good day grab a seat outside if you can and watch high street go by.”

“We had dinner here and the food and service was so good we decided to return again for Sunday lunch. My friend had the surf and turf and I had the rack of lamb. Absolutely delicious and as you are allowed to bring your own wine we came prepared!.”

“Their vegetarian breakfast is fantastic, great value for money, staff are very friendly, highly recommended, just one drawback,it's so small that there is no toilet, or hand washing facilities for us customers”

“Very nice restaurant, well worth a visit. I had lunch recently (beef brisket) which was tasty and generous. Nice decor and atmosphere. But the stand out feature was the staff who were welcoming, professional and friendly. Great parking just outside the door too.”

“Excellent cafe/ restaurant. Very popular and for good reason. Friendly staff. Scones are incredible. Food choice is varied and looks great too. Dog friendly. I love to pop in after a walk and sit outside. Great location by the lough and coastal path.”

“Have been driving past here for ages but this time we stopped for lunch and we weren't disappointed. You can choose from the menu on the wall above the counter or create your own meal from the vast assortment of already cooked meats and vegetables. You pay at the till and in no time at all your order is delivered to your table. The decor is American Diner and is bright and cheery. My son had The Big Pitstop Burger and I had sausage egg and chips both were lovely. Can't wait to return.”

“My son had his birthday party at laser tag. Each of the children had a great fun time battling it out to win. Lainey our organiser was more than helpful, couldn't fault our experience at all. Would highly recommend to anyone.Thank you for making my sons b/day memorable”

“Had a cooked breakfast and can safely say it was the best I’ve ever had. The food was cooked to perfection, didn’t have long to wait,was asked what way I wanted my eggs done and all the food was freshly made. The meat products were locally produced and the potato bread and soda bread was homemade. There were a varied selection of homemade scones,cakes,pastries on display and only I couldn’t eat another bite I would have loved to try them. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Bangor. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food was good value for money. The establishment was clean, tidy and bright and airy. I recommend the Olive Tree Artisan Cafe as a must to everyone.”

“Lovely feel to this place, service is efficient and friendly. I was surprised at the selection of savoury nibbles on selection, and was drawn to the beetroot wrap - it was recommended to be served warm by the staff, and it was delicious! The outdoor seating and our current spell of good weather certainly makes you feel that your sitting somewhere is Europe!”

“Really good Traditional Chippy that is imposdible to find elrsewhere nowadays. Highly recommended.”

“Great visit to Tesco Cafe in Bangor today. Very helpful staff & the food & coffee were excellent”

“Very reasonable pricing for excellent quality food. Had a lovely home made mushroom soup which was freshly prepared with lovely home made Irish soda bread to go with it. Then had a very reasonably priced tea with proper cup and teapot plus a lovely rocky road cake; with a fabulous honeycomb crunch. All that cost less than £10. Toilets were very modern and clean too! Don’t be put off by the interior plus off peak and on school days the cafe and venue is generally mostly childless so can be quiet peaceful.”

“Great spot for a full soda and a cappuccino”

“Popped in for the first time yesterday. Will definitely be back! Had the large fry (was able to exchange the things I didn’t like) and the food was excellent! Far better than many ‘restaurants’ that charge extortionate prices for the same quality of food. Lovely service. Will definitely return!”

“I only stopped of for a coffee on my way past. It was an awesome coffee. I will be stopping there every time I go near the place.”

“Lovely place, I only discovered this hidden gem today and was blown away by the quality of food at amazing prices. Great stuff 10/10”

“1st time going in had lunch with family and we got confused with their board telling you to go upstairs but lucky the owner came out and showed us where to go .we laughed at the moment. The staff are really nice it's cosy and warm when it was cold outside. Food was lovely and not greasy l had a mini fry and it was good.”

“Popped in for the first time today and I’m so glad I did, decaf cappuccino (with oat milk) was delicious, really creamy and super flavourful. My dad got an iced vanilla latte and the coffee was super smooth in it as well. Atmosphere and staff were lovely. Highly recommend this place, will be back :)”

“Love this place so much, food always tasty, service excellent”

“An absolute gem in this rallying harbour town. We enjoyed breakfast and teatime treats in the cafe/deli next door. Our brunch choices and coffee drinks set us a up for the day and we strongly recommend!”

“First time in the goat and the lunch was really good and a strong coffee”

“Ordered the 3 egg omelette with bacon, tomato and cheese, food arrived well ahead of delivery time and was hot and tasty with everything cooked to perfection. The surprise addition of a small pot of salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber and sweetcorn with peppers) was very welcome and appreciated. Highly recommend them and I will definitely be ordering again very soon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Best bar in Bangor. Guinness best in the country. One of the only places left where it's not chilled to the point of no flavour. Also a proper pub; no food, sports on quietly in the corner, mix of interesting characters.”

“We eat here fairly regularly and it's always amazing but I wanted to leave a review after our takeaway tonight. I tried the special fried rice for a change and I have to say it is the most delicious rice I have ever eaten! I will probably dream about it tonight! Don't ever leave, best food in North Down ☺️”

“Went for Sunday dinner with my father, the menu covered all bases, had the set 3 course menu,and was reasonably priced. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. Enjoyed immensely, will bring him again as he found it easy to manoeuvre his wheel chair and found the atmosphere relaxed.”

“Highly recommend this place from outstanding service to quality food. Great choice for our Sunday dinner and nothing was an issue while catering for my son and niece for the kids menu. Sea food pie was something else, delicious. Veg came separately and there was plenty.”

“It certainly is a treat to visit The Starfish, made especially enticing by their fabulous specials. I love the food and absolutely love being in there, it’s so light and airy. Beautiful brunch spot!”

“Great customer service, very friendly! The bacon (extra crispy) and cream cheese toasted bagel was delicious + the coffees were perfect for a walk along the beach.”

“Love the yoghurt tree for a family treat. Plenty of flavours to choose from and the children love picking their extras. Also does nice coffee.”
