Lost & Found Cafe — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Update (December 2023). The Coleraine café now being shut, I come here sometimes, particularly when they have coffee beans for sale from wonderful roasters like Onyx. Whilst I still preferred the Coleraine café, I enjoy it here too. The coffee is smooth and pastries are lovely. I have not tried the hot food so can't comment on that side of things. When there on a wet Saturday afternoon, it was nice and quiet and service was top notch. When weather is good at the height of summer it can get very busy and service can be a bit slower. Parking is limited, so I park up the top of the hill. If you don't like hill starts when driving then park at the top of the hill! Staff are lovely in my experience and the great experience makes up for having to drive a few miles past Coleraine to get here. Highly recommended!

The coffee was so burnt it must’ve been roasted on that cooker within an inch of its life. It tasted foul! The hot chocolate was meh, better than the coffee but still not great for the price. The staff were nice and there was a good vibe about the place, but the experience didn’t match it. I hope to try again sometime and hopefully I can...

Visited with our 1 year old and dog because it was raining and the cafe is advertised as “dog-friendly”. Outside awning was not out so outside tables were all soaking. Asked at till if dogs were allowed inside and they said yes. Ordered food and half way through the meal we were approached by a member of staff and told to leave as dogs were not allowed inside. Had to leave immediately, our daughter was half way through her meal. Do not advertise as dog friendly if you only allow dogs outside the premises, by that standard every restaurant/pub/cafe is “dog-friendly”. Or at the very least make sure your outside covering is actually in use when it’s raining and we would have...
