Café Roo

Café Roo is a café on Main Street in Ballyclare serving breakfast, brunch and coffee through the day, six days a week plus Sunday mornings. The café is dog-friendly, actively encouraging customers to bring pets, and was recognised in the Northern Ireland Food To Go Awards in 2024. The menu covers cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, traybakes and specialty coffee made to order rather than pre-packaged. It trades from a single shop unit in the town centre under Roo Cafe Ltd and is not part of a wider café group. Local reviews consistently mention welcoming service and the quality of its coffee and home baking. Café Roo holds a food hygiene rating from the local council and has built a following among dog owners and families in the town, distinct from the chain coffee outlets found on Ballyclare's retail parks.
