Been coming here for years. Their pancake stack is consistently spot on, just like I remember from my trips to the States.

Lovely staff, very welcoming. The fruit cake was nice, but the banana loaf was a bit dry. I did appreciate the small wine list they had - a decent glass of red went nicely with the cake.

The gluten-free options were good and clearly explained. Portions were decent for the price, especially with that view.

Love the vibe here, especially when they have live music. Grabbed a pint, watched the game, and just unwound. Prices are fair for the area. Solid spot.

Nice clean spot with made-to-order food. Menu has a good selection. Prices are fair for what you get.

Stopped by before catching the ferry. The pizzas were spot on, really good value. Got a simple margherita and the crust was just right. Staff were sound.

The mixed kebab was a nice surprise. The doner and chicken were good, and they toss it with peppers and onions which works well.

Lovely, peaceful spot for a family meal. We actually went back a few days later, which we never do. Food was tasty and the prices are fair.

The fish supper was lovely, really fresh and the batter was perfectly crisp. The cafe itself is spotless and has a nice, airy feel to it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the whole visit so relaxed.

Good selection on the menu, we had the classic breakfast and the loaded fries. Fries were generous with toppings, but the breakfast was just okay. Cakes looked nice, didn&#39;t try them.

Menu&#39;s got a lot to choose from, which I love. Went for the grilled octopus starter and it was spot on &ndash; tender, with a nice char. Portions are decent. Staff were really nice, checked on us without hovering.

The ice cream here is fantastic, so fresh and creamy. A great spot for a quick, healthy lunch.

The lamb wrap here is a standout - tender, spiced just right, and the flatbread was fresh. The smash burger was solid too, juicy and crispy-edged. Ended up ordering a second wrap to take home.

The Sunday roast beef was really good, came with all the trimmings and proper gravy. The seasonal veg were a nice addition. The whole place just feels really cosy and relaxed, which I liked.

Friday steak night is a solid shout for a group. The vibe&#39;s relaxed, perfect for catching up. Staff were really friendly, which always helps. The steak was good, and honestly, the price for a Friday night was a nice surprise. Bangor has a winner here.

Love that they&rsquo;re dog-friendly during the day! Our pup got a little water bowl and the staff were so kind. Really appreciate a place that welcomes the whole family. 🐾

The salted chilli beef was super tender and flavourful. Got it for a quick lunch, came out fast. Staff were friendly and efficient, which is exactly what you need when you&#39;re in a rush.

The staff here are really friendly and efficient, which made for a pleasant lunch. The atmosphere is quite relaxed. I had the fish and chips, which was pretty good - the batter was nice and crispy. It was a bit on the pricey side for what it was, but a decent meal overall.

First time trying the steak pie here, and it was a proper comfort meal. The pastry was so flaky and buttery, and the filling was just right. Really hit the spot on a grey afternoon.

Been coming here for years, and their vegan options are always spot on. Had the lentil soup and a cherry scone again last week - just as good as I remember. It&#39;s nice to have a place you can rely on.

We were a large group of 11 and they managed to fit us in. The waitress was really lovely with the kids. Food was decent and reasonably priced. A solid choice for a casual meal.

Been coming here for years now. The coffee and sandwiches are always spot on, and the place has that same bright, cheerful feel every single time. Staff are genuinely kind, which keeps me coming back. It&#39;s just a reliable spot.

The lamb shoulder was so tender, and you could really taste the quality of the meat.

Been coming here for years. The team always makes you feel welcome, even when they&#39;re busy.

Nice chilled spot for a drink. The beer garden has a good vibe, but the snack options are a bit limited if you&#39;re looking for something fresh.
