We did the shrek pottery painting and it was nice, we will be back for another!
However just a couple of things for consideration. When we arrived, we were told the pottery pieces you paint are additional to the deposit you pay, which is fine (Iām not sure how much deposit was paid as I didnāt book). However Iāve found with other similar things in NI, there is a standard price with a piece included in the price and you can upgrade for additional cost. This was not the case here and it would have been good to know the prices of the pieces ahead of time, just for budgeting purposes. It would be useful to see this as an extra on the social posts. It was a treat for me post-surgery, as I had been looking at pottery painting sessions around NI, so again I didnāt book or know the amount of deposit paid.
We were also told that the deposit amount comes off of the final balance, but it wasnāt in our case, and we didnāt realise until after we had left, that we had actually paid full price. We enjoyed the experience and had a laugh, but when we go back we need to ask about having the deposit from this time removed from the next one. It was enjoyable, but just be aware to budget extra for the pottery pieces, if youāve been looking at other sessions, as this is run slightly differently from what Iāve been looking at. Not criticism, just a heads up!
Coffee and tea was lovely. We didnāt eat here but my mum did take a sweet treat home for my dad and another sweet treat for my SIL.
Overall it was a lovely experience and we will be back! We know what to expect next time. Ambience and everything was grand, shrek themed music and all playing with the option for pizzas. We didnāt realise that was on, so we ate beforehand but others had food on different tables and it...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI rarely leave reviews, but this place deserves it! This isnāt just about great coffee (which was excellent!) ā itās about community. The owner and everyone we met were so welcoming, sharing tips about the best spots around NI and Ireland ā it felt like being part of the local heartbeat for a little while. Weāre originally from Malta, traveling by campervan, and the advice we got made our trip even better. [Update: We followed their suggestions and were not disappointed!]
The owner took time to chat with us and made us feel right at home. I was even introduced to the local sweet called a āfifteenā ā such a simple but delicious treat. Iāll definitely be carrying that tradition forward and remembering where I first discovered it.
If you want more than just coffee ā if you want warmth, conversation, and a real local experience ā this is the place. A...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe love going here for a coffee date or treat! It may not look little much but it's well worth the visit! The coffee is great quality and price the treats are all locally made. It's a true family business that gives so much to it's community at every opportunity.
We had the pleasure of attending one of the pizza nights, fresh yummy pizza warm heaters with plenty of coffee etc. I wouldn't think to recommend anywhere else for a meeting point or warm cuppa! Ample parking, the lot does have occasional pot holes but not the fault of the coffee shop! No decaffeinated coffee but this is due to the small business nature (would need multiple machines and...
