Thyme &Co

Tom and Eimear Mullin have run this café on Quay Road since 2007. An in-house baker produces the wheaten bread and cakes that keep regulars coming back, alongside breakfasts, toasted sandwiches, and daily specials built around locally sourced meat and produce. The café shifts into pizza service on Saturday evenings and a slower brunch sitting on Sundays, and closes altogether on Wednesdays. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options run through the regular menu rather than sitting apart from it. The Mullins also sell a Thai curry made to their own family recipe and prepare frozen ready meals for customers to take home. Outside catering rounds out the business from its seafront street near Ballycastle harbour.
