Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We stopped in at Harry’s Cafe and Bar for a light breakfast. I order the avocado toast with poached eggs and cappuccino. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous!

Service took a very long time and food was served cold. No condiments on the table either. Most of the staff were lovely, but the manager was incredibly rude and condescending and invaded our personal space, reaching across us on the table to passive-aggressively replace...a takeaway cup we had brought and to add “finishing touches” to food we had already started eating … terrible. He wouldn’t let me order a coffee from the barista myself and even questioned why I was asking for salt for my food! So unpleasant.More

The best breakfast I’ve had in years. I had the Norwegian eggs and it was absolutely delicious. Poached eggs done to perfection, potato rosti were so tasty. Yes you pay a little more than your average place but there was nothing average here… above and...beyond. Will def be back.More

Really nice place. Friendly staff, great music. Good choice on menu and food was excellent. A great pot of tea too, so many places get this wrong but not Harry's.

The manager is rude and condescending. Shouldn’t be running any customer facing establishment. I feel sorry for the staff there. (They don’t deserve treatment like that). We live in the area and will never visit this cafe again.

Tasty food and great service in clean friendly atmosphere. Try the Thai chicken soup, it’s flavoursome and filling. It’s accompanied by a big chunk of sourdough bread.

I live locally. The electricity has gone in my flat so I went down the road to wait for the electrician and do some work. Was there 2 hours or so, and was asked to move twice by the owner. It's not a busy place...and I had moved to a corner table out of the way. Eventually told if I didn't have lunch then I would have to leave. I had bought breakfast just out of politeness already. It's not a cheap place. €16 to sit in a cafe for 2 hours before being hounded out by the owner. Shame because the staff seemed nice.More

WOW, just absolutely amazing. We stumbled across Harry’s cafe on our visit to the town. So glad we did. The breakfast was perfection a solid 10/10. My wife had the Eggs Benedict which looked awesome and tasted even better she said 🙏 I went for...the Norwegian Eggs, the food not only cooked perfectly, tasted like heaven. The sourdough for both breakfasts were lovely and fresh. Their coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had. Compliments to the chef for sure ✔️ The staff were friendly and helpful. Keep up the hard work it’s truly paying offMore

Brought my elderly mother here for breakfast today. The food was lovely and compliments to the chef but the who i assume was the owner was passing my table and i asked for salt. Now 2 adults eating breakfast and he returns with one sachet...of salt. I couldn't believe it. Had to ask again ... And the bill was bloody expensive for what we had. Would i go back. Not a hope. Reckon i was billed for the salt 🤣.. To the owner.... If you want custom put the appropriate condiments on each table and don't be so bloody miserableMore

We have been staying in a local hotel -room only and have come to here for breakfast. This is a super place with a very good breakfast menu and friendly staff. Reading the newspapers provided also allows a catch up whilst waiting for the food....Excellent coffees, food and pastries all freshly prepared. Lunches are also very good.More
