Babushka Kitchen Café — right by the harbour, eco-conscious, locally sourced menu, good coffee and homemade cakes with an Atlantic view.
Bob & Berts — part of a small NI-wide chain, reliably good all-day breakfast and a big coffee menu, free Wi-Fi. A safe bet if you’re in a group with different tastes.
Ground Espresso Bar — on Main Street, part of a local NI chain with ethically sourced beans and a good range of alternative milks.
Indigo Café — a short walk from the beach, artisanal coffee and fresh sandwiches in a relaxed, slightly rustic setting.
Dora’s Café — family-run, near East Strand, home-cooked food and a proper afternoon tea with homemade scones and traybakes.
The Arcadia — a genuine Portrush landmark, housed in a former Victorian ballroom with a terrace looking straight out over the Atlantic. Worth it for the setting alone.
Anne’s Tearoom — classic, old-fashioned tearoom in the town centre, table service, vintage décor, and a proper afternoon tea with scones and clotted cream.
