Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the Ulster fry, noting the freshness of the soda and potato bread. The staff is often described as super friendly and welcoming, contributing to a homely atmosphere. However, some visitors have noted that the cafe can become overwhelmed during peak times, leading to long waits and a need for self-service.
