Bob & Berts Ballymena — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Called in today with the wife an 2 kids for a quick bite and gotta say the whole thing was a bit disappointing. For a start the price. 3 Frys, 2 coffees and 2 kids drinks, £36?? Was about to ask if they'd got it correct when I was reached the receipt. When I'd asked for 3 frys, the girl asked if I wanted white or brown toast? She didn't say that it was an extra, I assumed it came with it. That was an extra £3. And has to be said it was no more that ever so slightly toasted, white as it started. Much the same with the pancake, soda and fadge. Sausage and bacon were OK but it really wasn't worth anywhere near £8.75 each. And unlike most cafes round the town, tea and coffe are not complimentary. The kids drinks were another £3.30 and again simply not worth it.

I took it back to the till and pointed this out and was told this was Bob and berts standard glass for flat white coffee. Cashier had no interest whatsoever in this concern I had pointed out. I had to ask her to put it into a cup with a handle. Apart from this issue the place was clean an inviting. Food and...

This is now my favourite coffee place. Their large Americano is a bucket-sized, manly mug of undiluted delight and they offer a range of food that is unsurpassed anywhere else in the town. We mostly visit on a Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon and get to sit at the window and watch the world go by. There is ample seating throughout, even at busy times, and you'll never feel cramped because the tables are well spaced. The staff are friendly and everyone seems always to be on top form. It would be my first thought of where to go to for coffee...
