Most Disliked

While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few customers mention the occasional wait during peak hours, particularly on Saturday mornings. The café's popularity can lead to overcrowding, causing longer wait times for food and seating. Some diners express a desire for more variety in the menu, particularly for lunch options. Although the café excites patrons with its traditional offerings, those seeking unique or contemporary twists may find fewer choices to their liking. Additionally, some visitors note that while the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, it can get quite busy, resulting in a bit of noise, which might detract from a relaxed dining experience for some.

Great wee cafe in the centre of Portadown. Due to moving away I hadn't been in for 30 years. Have to say nostalgia! The food is great and served with a smile which brought back childhood memories. Absolutely love this little place. 5 stars
