Traveling through Ballycastle, we wanted to get some pizza after touring through Ireland and Northern Ireland for almost two weeks… we stopped in and placed an order ‘for takeaway’. Most important, the pizza was great! And to our absolute delight, they delivered the pizza to us, right to our rental, unrequested! The staff was very friendly on a busy night, great choices of toppings. We will be back for breakfast pastries for the next several days… as long as we are in town

Luckily I was introduced to Thyme & Co last year -- I couldn't wait to return! As usual, scruption offerings for lunch, I was in "Foodie Heaven" AGAIN! So delighted with the beautiful food, great service, plus wonderful atmosphere! Hopefully Same Time Next Year! Highly recommend for any meal or even event you might have!

Lucky that the cafe is somehow open on Wednesday, contrary to what’s written on the map or the board outside. Probably my first time seeing a latte art in a glass glass. Rich and nutty. Croissant is warm, stretchy, and buttery. Sausage roll is pretty tasty and flavorful, not too oily either. Open prawn sandwich is delightful. The prawn salad is light and fresh, with crunchy peppers and a hint of spiciness. Wheaten bread is one of the best I’ve had. Moist yet full of grains and only mildly sweet. Just wish the potatoes were warmed too. Lemon chicken is also quite good. The tortilla wrap is especially nice, soft and elastic. Friendly staff and cheap price.

I was planning to go to this place for a coffee while visiting Ballycastle for the first time. This made my first experience great! The latte with chocolate and orange syrup was delicious and the guy at the counter and who made the coffee were very friendly to guide me to the beach (my next stop). Highly recommended for a coffee and a chat

We ate at Thyme & Co just last night. They offer a Pizza menu on a Saturday night only and are closed for late dining during the rest of the week. We shared a garlic bread as starter, my partner had a pepperoni pizza & I opted for the Dexter beef burger, which was absolutely superb. The beef was beautifully flavoured. They have no alcohol licence so it's Bring Your Own and there was no corkage fee. All in all, good atmosphere (the restaurant was very busy as of 18:30), good service and nice food. I've had Dexter beef before but never in Burger form and it was delicious. Recommended.
