Spacious ,airy ,plenty of room for the young grandchildren to play and also educational ,wonderful morning. Could not have made a better breakfast myself . Lovely play park outside and some beautiful art work in the gift shop.

Lovely food. I probably had the best gluten free toastie I've ever had here it was really good. They also had a gluten free cake but I was too full after my sarnie!

Our party of 14 had a reservation booked. Everything went very well. I really enjoyed a pot of tea and a portion of their apple pie. Service was excellent. They score a maximum 5 out of 5 for their Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. The dining area is spacious and bright, with a great high ceiling with skylights. You can sit in a big outside dining area if you want. There’s an adjoining gift shop and a museum room with the history of Berkeley Deane Wise, his Gobbins Cliff Path, local wildlife and more.

What a gem of a wee place. Great ambience, staff and food. Sat outside in the sun, could have stayed all day. Great park adjacent for the kids to burn off some energy in safety while you enjoy your breakfast or lunch in peace .

I visit this place regularly for coffee. My friends say their cakes and traybakes are delicious. The staff are extremely efficient, friendly and always very courteous. The location is lovely too. Beautiful countryside. Close to the lovely little town of Whitehead.

I have visited the gobbins cafe while being on an art class. The coffee is great and the cakes look delicious ? reasonably priced and very clean and spacious with very friendly staff. The gobbins centre has a lot to offer and is worth the trip. Highly recommended.

The Gobbins cafe is a regular stop for Sunday lunch and I regulalrly get coffee and cake here mid-week when attending an art group in the community centre. The staff are always very efficient, friendly and respectful. The food is good and the cakes are really lovely. My personal favourite is the raspberry and almond tart which is delicious. The cafe is really bright and clean and there is outdoor seating which is lovely in the warmer weather. Families with young children can enjoy the outdoor playpark adjacent to the building and the gift shop and art gallery in the corridor is good to browse.

I have actually been to The Gobbins Cafe many, many times. More recently it has been with my 4 year old granddaughter. The staff have always been friendly, accommodating and welcoming.

Having returned from our wonderful Gobbins walk with our tour at 4.50 we were too late for any sort of hospitality at the Gobbins Café. I had barely time to use the toilet and put a drop of milk on my tea when we were told to leave and to head back to our bus. Our bus driver was on the last coastal walk and hadn't even returned to the centre. Our group of 48 walkers traveled for 4.5 hours to the Coastal attraction and faced another 4.5 hour journey home to Donegal. A gentleman on our walk became unwell along the walk and needed assistance from an extra guide who was absolutely wonderful but did delay our groups return to the centre. I asked could we have time to drink our tea and was told by the very young staff member that she only got paid to 5 o'clock and the shutters would be coming down. And she asked me did I have a problem with that. After a lovely day, a beautiful unique walk with a great guide and bus driver this last interaction was shocking and so disappointing. If the walk is running late it should be down to management to facilitate the visitors who have paid their money to allow some grace period before getting back on the bus.
Lovely fry. Very generous portion and filling. Good tea and coffee plus always yummy cakes and traybakes too! Very clean and airy and bright.

Four of us had the paninis. They were ok. A white sub bun packed with a ton of cheese and some ham. The baking looked good and they had a large selection of warm drinks. Nice space to recover after the tour.

I had to wipe over our table myself with my own Dettol wipes. Crockery was dirty & chipped. Food is really very basic, could be a little more exciting overall.

After the 2 hour tour it's really nice to be able to sit down and enjoy a hot meal. The stew and hot chocolate were perfect after getting rained on.
