Gorgeous little community gem of a place. We had the full Irish and eggs, avocado and sriracha on a bagel and it was all delicious. Really good vibe in there as there was good music playing and the man who worked there was so welcoming and made us feel really comfortable.
Friendly atmosphere quick service pleasant staff. Fresh clean and comfortable surroundings. Highly recommend.
The staff in the Calf Lane Kitchen are amazing just like the food. £7.50 for a full breakfast and coffee . Not a drop of grease insight.
Staff are lovely and food is great. Large portions for really good price!
Excellent food. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good value for money.
Lovely little local cafe that provides a resource to the folks within Millburn and Ballysally, it’s great to see how the vision of Billy Ellis and others in the area has led to this new cafe which the locals and visitors love, well done!
Cheap and cheerful! The staff are lovely, the food is absolutely beautiful, especially for the price of it! It honestly compares to restaurants that charge an arm and a leg!! Love this place!
Great breakfast! Other places serve Brittish breakfast, but they offer real Ulster fry. Relatively cheap (7.5 pounds including tea/coffee) and you will not be hungry before dinner time. All clients but us were local.
