This place has the best potato bread in Larne, hands down. (spoken from someone who has tested this extensively around the town!)
As a local author, I'm always on the hunt for places that are perfect for me to spend an hour or two working without anyone giving me the stink eye for taking up a table.
(Before anyone comes at me, yes, I understand they're businesses, and if there's a queue, or a shortage of tables I'm always mindful of the fact, and move along.)
However, some places are more conducive and welcoming to writing/working than others. Tucked away off the busy street, Taste has great access to parking, public toilets, it's quite spacious, has an array of tables with plug access, and a great menu, they also accept card as well.
I love how their frys come in 5/8/11 pieces, and you have the option to go small if you want, or go bigger if you're hungrier. Their pricing is on point as well, as one of my fave local places to have breakfast has increased their prices by over 20% all at once this week, their prices are now eye-watering, and Taste makes a great fry for a reasonable price.
I also had a lovely moment of overhearing someone talk to the new owner of the cafe. He told her that he'd been in before and had her broth, he said that he'd given her feedback that the soup should be made with less barley and more veggies, and this time around that's exactly what she did. He was not only chuffed to have been listened to, but waxed lyrical about how amazing the soup was.
The new owner told me she's open to feedback on the food and the cafe as a whole, which added a little something to my day. As he left, the man told me how nice it was to have been listened to by someone who could make an improvement on things, he's not wrong.
I've been here a few times over the last couple of months, and I have to say, it's quickly becoming a favourite place to eat, drink a bucket of tea, and get a little work done. Can't wait to try their...
Read moreWhat can I say. This place is a great treasure. Called in with my work colleague for breakfast, as we were in Larne working. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a very warm and friendly welcome. Very clean and comfortable cafe, with plenty of seating. There was an excellent menu and we were spoiled for choice. I ordered the 11 piece fry and my colleague had scrambled eggs with toast. The food was prepared quickly and was beautifully presented. It tasted just as good as it looked. Everything was cooked to prefection. One of the best frys I have ever had. You can tell that all the staff put their heart and soul into all they do. They couldn't do enough for us. The welcome, service and taste makes me look forward to going back next time I'm near by. I wholeheartedly recommend you to go to Taste Coffee Larne. You wont be disappointed. Thank you so much to all the...
Read moreI recently visited Taste Coffee in Larne located in Murrayfield, and I must say, it's a standout spot! With complete Countryside vibes From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel right at home. They proudly shared that their green beans coffee is locally sourced, and you can really taste the difference in each sip. The coffee was expertly crafted—rich, smooth, and packed with flavor.
We also indulged in some of their pastries and chips, and it was "yumm yumm yumm" all the way! Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to our coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax.
If you're in Larne, this is hands down the best cafe around. Highly recommend stopping by for a real...
