Recommend to us by our daughter and didn’t disappoint. Food was fresh clean and so tasty. The chicken was so tender. The tea cake was delicious with our tea and coffee. Highly recommend.

Brunch bap was absolutely amazing. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The coffee is some of the nicest I've tried. The music was little loud to me but that's just my opinion.

Fabulous breakfast and friendly staff! I had a Steak and Eggs, cooked to perfection with a marvellous garlic butter. Great for people on Keto diet as well. 10/10

This is one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to, worth the drive from Belfast! Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere and decorations are amazing. The food is great too, really good portions and presented beautifully.

Had this place saved for a while it was finally time to try and it did not disappoint. Travelled just under 30mins to get to the place but worth it, parking was a slight issue as it was the weekend and we had to wait in the queue, but it didn't take too long. Had the smashed avocado with bacon and my partner had the wild mushroom sourdough and shared the croissant french toast which was the special for the week. Everything we ate was lovely. The customer service was next to none. Lots of choices from the hot food menu. Something for everyone, vegetarian, vegan and low gluten options are offered. Great selection of sweet treats and herbal teas. Highly recommend if in the area.

My daughter is a huge fan of Blend & Batch and we planned to go for dinner on her birthday, however she was ill and didn’t feel up to going. I checked if there was a chance of takeaway and phoned the restaurant. Jordan, was the most helpful a person could have been. He was so pleasant and advised me how to order online that day. I collected 4 beautifully cooked hot meals at the specified time. Nothing was too much bother and the order was fulfilled perfectly. The food ranging from steak to bao buns to a smash burger was delicious and still piping hot when I served it up. Made for a lovely birthday dinner in our own home. Thanks to Jordan in particular and also to the fantastic chef as the food was awesome. Well done once again Blend & Batch. Delighted customer

This place is always packed and now I know why. The food and service were both incredible with attentive staff checking on us regularly. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of ingredients. I ordered the weekly special of Korean Fried Chicken and Waffles, and my fiancee ordered poached eggs/ Smashed avocado on sourdough with feta. Both looked beautiful and tasted even better. Hats off to the chefs & the waiting/ coffee shop staff
