Lost And Found - Carta

It's a shame that the enjoyable atmosphere and incredibly tasty Swedish almond cake at this cafe are overshadowed by the hipster attitude of only offering full-fat milk or oat milk to customers. While the adage of the customer always being right may come to mind, there's always the option of black coffee.

Very pleasant servers and good to see tables cleared promptly and wiped down well. Really good tea and the pot gave me just under 2 cups. The soup was absolutely delicious and served with 2 very small pieces of bread. At £5.50 for a cup or soup and 2 bits of bread, I find this somewhat expensive. The loo was out of action.

I had a wonderful experience at this Coffee Shop. The staff went above and beyond to assist me as a wheelchair user, despite being very busy. The coffee had excellent flavor and we enjoyed some delicious tray bakes that simply melted in our mouths. We will definitely be returning to this Coffee Shop regularly and highly recommend it.

Hot Tea “Leaf” tea, delicious Small and quaint. Didn’t have any of the sweet stuff but it looked good. Had sour dough with avocado and a spicy dressing. Was ok Views are outstanding The blonde server was bubbly and friendly the dark haired server was agitated and too busy with T-shirt’s and hanging menu signs to be polite to customers. She’s definitely in the wrong business The bathroom is disgusting

I visited for a catch up with a friend. On the recommendation of the barista I order the chicken hotpot and a pour over filter. The chicken hotpot was £7 so I expected it to be substantial. It was actually just overly salty chicken soup with fatty bacon in it and very coarse bread. It was very disappointing and definitely not worth £7. The pour over filter coffee was lovely but I literally only got half a cup. All in all, it was disappointing for £10.30. In the current economic climate I will definitely think twice before visiting again.

Portstewart cafe excellent quality of good but marred by the lack of plate and cutlery ! It was provided in a cardboard box with wooden knife and fork (not really adequate to the job of cutting up toast and I had to deconstruct the box to get at it). Only when leaving did I see people eating from real plates and with metal cutlery! What on Earth had we done to deserve that service? Understandable if it was a takeaway but it wasn’t. But the quality of the food was good avocado with chilli and feta cheese. I recommend it but best eaten with the correct utensils! Ver carta

At first glance the place looks good but upon ordering the cracks begin to show. The gluten free pancakes listed on the menu don't exist if only in word form. The customer service isn't great with a its your privilege to be eating in such an establishment attitude. The cardboard boxes and wooden cutlery provided are impractical and if offered for the sake of the environment then separate bins should be provided to recycle the pathetic stuff at the very least. Not sure why the place is so busy but I suppose we all need something to post on social media. Lovely location which is what makes the whole thing a real pity

In Coleraine, we observed preserved lemons and other vegetables on display, giving the impression of homemade and healthy options. However, we later saw the chef using bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemons, which seemed unnecessary. It became clear to us that Lost and Found is a brand catering to pretentious individuals who may lack a genuine understanding of real quality food and ingredients. Despite their aesthetic and presentation, they do not necessarily deliver on their promises. This restaurant may appeal to those who are more concerned with status and appearance rather than a genuine culinary experience.

Visited lost Found in Portstewart last Friday afternoon for some lunch. Checked the outdoor menu which stated food served until 3.30pm. Went ahead on inside. Started to briefly read the menu at the till as aware from previous visits that you order on arrival yourself at the counter. Was told by the female counter staff that we had 8 minutes to place our order and to take the menus to the table. We did this. Then when we said excuse me to the same member of staff, from our table, that we’d like to order, we were told we had to come back to the till. This made no sense whatsoever. From the moment we stepped in and were told that we had 8 minutes to order should have been the red flag I guess.... Ver carta
