Shorebird - Allerdale

Upon arriving at this restaurant, we placed our order and everything went smoothly (despite the fact that the establishment is managed by a group of 16 year olds). However, our food took 45 minutes to be served, and those who ordered after us received their meals before us. This was quite surprising. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for quick service.

My group of 18 cyclists and support crew recently stopped by Shorebird Coffee Hut during our bike ride from Ayr to Derry-Londonderry. We had pre-booked lunch with the café and were very impressed with the delicious food and excellent service. The staff even moved our table outside so we could enjoy our meal on the grassy area. Everyone agreed that our visit to Shorebird was the highlight of the day and gave us the energy we needed for the rest of our journey along the Antrim coast road to Larne.

The cafe has a stunning view of the beach and shorefront. The scrambled eggs and toast were excellent, and the coffee was lovely. I would highly recommend this cafe.

Stopped off at this lovely coffee hut on our way around Northern Ireland, and it was perfect! Warm, cosy and welcoming this was an ideal spot for a bit of lunch, great coffee and delicious goodies. Even had a highchair for the little ones to use. Beautiful views of the dramatic coastline.

I ordered a flat white and left it unfinished it was bitter and unpleasant not a patch on the equivalent in Ground. Such a shame as it is in a fantastic location with great views front and back.
