I visited this restaurant with my family on a Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy but the staff seemed disorganized. After waiting 15 minutes, we were finally seated. However, after waiting another 15 minutes, no one took our order so we decided to leave. A month later, we gave it another chance. The service was slightly better this time. We ordered two coffees and two tray bakes, which were of good quality. The waitress was friendly.

We stayed at The Donard Hotel across the street while they were undergoing renovations, so their restaurant was closed. However, they provided us with a 10% discount card for the Shimna Cafe. We ordered the Ulster Fry, coffees, and glasses of orange juice, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area, which was helpful for the many tourists who visit. The food was delicious with generous portions, and the coffee was excellent. The cafe is popular and also offers a selection of baked goods. I would highly recommend Shimna Cafe for a tasty breakfast or lunch when visiting Newcastle.
at the arrival came first impressions not great waited 10 minutes no one came on the table, so I went and asked after 2 menus was told by a young worker over there shortly that an older worker took our order, she was really friendly and helpful, then our breakfast arrived very quickly and must say that it was nice because I hopefully would go back the younger coworkers a little more helpful

Excellent light lunch place. Food value for money, the chicken wrap was tasty and filling. The tea was OK. There is also a selection of cakes. Nice peaceful atmosphere, clean decor.
Loved it, got a fry, one of the cleanest frys I've tasted. Server was very pleasant and helpful. Great experience will be back. Thank you
