Stopped in Coleraine for food, this was where we found to eat, the place was quiet but the waitress got us seated and took our order quickly and politely. Our drinks came and then our food very quickly after, we weren’t expecting it nearly as quick. We ordered a fry and chicken Maryland, both very well cooked, big portions, we could hardly finished what we were given. We both left pleasantly surprised by our meal out. Great wee spot for food

This cafe has been a long standing institution in Coleraine town for as long as I can remember. Recently though, they've been modernizing. New items on the menu, a fancy new till system, and now an online order/delivery service! Management at The Big O are making improvements, but also keeping that rustic charm that the people of Coleraine love so much about this place.

Fantastic cafe, fresh homemade food. The Big O all day breakfast is amazing. Food is worth waiting for as it's all cooked fresh, a must visit if you're in Coleraine.
