Haptik — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Phenomenal. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome - greeted at the door and shown to a seat with menus and a jug of water. No pressure to have a big plate of food. We had a V60 brew of a lovely Dear Green Colombian coffee, two wonderful buns and a T2 Melbourne Breakfast tea. Spot on. Buns are epic too - peanut butter square and salted caramel brownie. Absolutely epic. Wonderful staff. The food looks great too. Good central location plus plenty of retail coffee and tea plus brewing equipment. We were made to feel like we were part of the Haptik family - wonderful. I can't speak highly enough of it - will be back very soon!!

UPDATE: the food is fantastic. I had the savoury maple waffle, which includes bacon, maple syrup, waffles and salad. It includes egg too, but I don't like eggs (odd I know). Absolutely wonderful. We'd barely ordered 5 minutes when our food came. I had a lovely coffee from Cloud Picker (Dublin) - so nice that I bought a box of it to brew at home. Fantastic little spot - my new favourite brunch spot - and I travel...

Called here for a light breakfast / brunch as we were on our way home from our family holiday and taking the kids to a nearby fun farm so didn't want to eat lunch there. Loved the food and the atmosphere, kids got a waffle each that came with bacon and syrup. The bacon was finely chopped making it easy to eat, and they both enjoyed their meal. My husband got the breakfast brioche roll, which was delicious, and I had the house sausage roll, which was 10/10. As we both agreed, the food both looked lovely and was very edible. My only regret is not taking something sweet to go as we won't be back in the area for a long time given we live so far away! A lovely treat to get here and really...

Yes, I can buy and eat my own flowers for breakfast! Beautiful brunch enjoyed on my first, but imagine it will not be my last, visit to this fantastic cafe in Newtownards. Choosing gluten free cost me my sausages but the dish more than made up for my initial disappointment. Food quality was superb, portion generous and the gluten free bagel was a bonus. Would heartily recommend. Very friendly and helpful servers and I loved the interiors of this place as well. Note: at busy times you may have to wait for tables of four but I was quickly seated as I only needed a table of one. Totally worth a wait though if you ever find that...
