If you ever need a reason to visit Ballyclare this is it. I have visited this spot on several occasions before and whilst Ballyclare has numerous coffee shops to choose from the others all have a lot to learn from Blooms. My most recent visit was simply for tea and some afternoon treats and as usual the staff, food and surroundings were all excellent.The location for Blooms is above a florist at the bottom of the town and whilst not ideal for those with mobility issues due to the stairs it is simply above and beyond in all other areas. The staff cannot do enough and are always very pleasant and nothing is to much. The food is well presented always and the choice of fresh homemade desserts and pastry are enough to leave you wanting to choose 2 or 3 options. However the scones are always a big success as well.The decor and seating areas comprise several variations from snugs to tables suitable for afternoon tea. Definitely worth a visit! Pushing the bar higher for local coffee shops, its a pity the others dont follow.

In the nice scenic county Antrim countryside is an organic restaurant and food market called Ballylagan Organic Farm located in Straid village between Larne and Ballyclare. The food is all organic with a lot of the produce being produced on the farm grounds and they also cater for vegetarians and have gluten free options. I got the Gammon and cheese toastie recently and soup and I have to say it was so rich in flavour from the cheddar cheese overpowering the near of the gammon. There is also a rich bounty of sweet cakes, bins and tray bakes on offer for all the sweet toothed foodies out there and there is even a small organic shop where you can pick up some ingredients for your next meal. Very nicely located within the walled gardens of the farm house and the only thing I can fault them on is the price but what do you expect for rich organic and eco friendly food.

WE as a family have been going to Jackson's Butchers for over 15 years, they recently added a cafe to their premises which is quite good. The food is good and the fresh baked goods are excellent. However the quality of the Butchery end of the business has slipped over the past year. It used to be such a friendly place to shop, but it is not just as friendly anymore. There seemed to be a big change in the staff, and the consistency of the prepared meats has changed, like the sausages. The prices have gone through the roof and you really have to check your receipt to make sure you haven't been over charged as all the staff share the tills and when its busy the staff may make mistakes, which has happened to us on several occasions. Needless to say we will not be back at Jacksons Butchers.
