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.

Wanted something to do on a wet miserable afternoon, indigo cafe popped up on my Facebook when I saw it was dog friendly I knew I had to give it a try! We were not disappointed my mini schnauzer bear was treated to a doggy menu whist we had a human one lol.. he had a sausage chopped up in a little dog bowl and a lovely dog treat, whilst we enjoyed a delicious sandwich with a tea/coffee, the service was quick and very friendly! Will definitely be back thank you for being dog friendly 🐾🐾

Called here with my granddaughter Ruby and my wife Heather during the Easter holidays. Since my last visit they have moved to larger premises a short distance from their previous location on the same street. We had the Ulster fry and it was very well cooked and certainly ample portions for both my wife and myself. We were attended to by Aileen and two younger members of staff, one male and the other female. The restaurant was full to capacity during the whole time that I was there. The premises are dog friendly and the toilets were immaculate, always a good sign, in my opinion. Will call here again should I be in the area. I might add that they are known locally for their homemade cooking, tasty soups, and Vegan & Gluten free options.

We went with another family, nine of us altogether with at least two having special dietary needs. The staff were very patient and very helpful in every way - cleaning the tables, giving advice on diets and serving food. Everyone seemed to find it tasty and we would go again. One slightly odd feature was that while credit cards are accepted, no receipts are handed over. Receipts can be requested and sent afterwards by e-mail!! The only negative was that the restaurant allows the unhygenic practice of allowing dogs to sit in the restaurant.

I went here yesterday with friend for breakfast. The cafe wasn't that busy .when food arrived it was served on cold plates,which meant we had to eat quickerthan we would have liked as food was going cold quickly. I have to this cafe several times in the past ,warm food is always served on cold plates which is disappointing as its not difficult to warm plates up a bit.

I am sorry to read that you were disappointed. All our plates are stored in a hot cupboard and we use heat lamps while plating to make sure that food and the plate remains warm until it is served.

Service is poor. Ordered fry items seperate which was on there menu however not as a full fry as I didn’t eat all that was in the fry and this was not a problem for the first woman that served us as she was as very helpful and friendly. The other couples ordered full fry’s without different items also in it the owner then came back and said to myself I had to order items of the menu and not make up and order as her kitchen was too busy and they didn’t have time to accommodate items not listed (I asked for sausages, potato bread etc nothing that wasn’t on there menu) I cannot understand how it was too time consuming when a full fry takes more time than what I asked for. this appeared to be too much of an effort to accommodate my needs! I felt embarrassed on front of the other couples and other customers however it was not busy at the time. I just feel like this is poor customer service and I will definitely not be back. It was very expensive for what it was also.

I am sorry to hear that you were so disappointed Katie. Our menu is extensive and caters for many if not most need. It does also clearly state that you cannot change or substitute items although of course if someone wants something left off the plate (as your friends did) that is not a problem. We do our best to accommodate requests but it was a busy Easter fortnight when you were in and our small kitchen can only do so much at peak times that we have to limit the changes in order to continue to provide our speed of service and the quality of our food when catering for so many people at once. Please accept our apologies for your embarrassment as it was not our intention for you to feel like that.

This is a dog friendly restaurant with a difference. It was clean and very welcoming in appearance and decor - and I can’t believe I am saying I would visit without a pet. As it was with our dogs in tow we had an excellent breakfast served by attentive friendly staff - and the price was way below expectations. I love cafes and restaurants that offer free top up of coffee. Well done all. Will be back every time I am in Portrush

Thank you so much for your review. We have many customers who come in without dogs so we are delighted to hear that you would do the same although we do love to see the dogs too. Hopefully we will see you all again soon.

Visited this cafe for lunch and did not realise it was a 'dog friendly' cafe until we had ordered our meal. We don't mind dogs but they should not be in an eating establishment and there were quite a few in and out. Even some owners allowed their dogs to spread out on the floor and didn't have the decency to pull them in to let patrons pass. The thing that annoyed us most was in the middle of our meal an owner was passing our table and her dog gave itself a massive shake right beside our table, eugh, hope it had no fleas. The food was ok but size portions of chips seemed to vary per order and unfortunately my wife's portion was one of the smaller ones, more like half a chip. The staff were friendly though however because of all the dogs coming and going we will not be frequenting this establishment again, sorry. On paying I asked for a receipt but the girl told me they don't give receipts but could email or text it to us, I done without as I had no desire to give them either my email address or telephone number.

That you for your feedback David, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your visit. We recently moved into these premises and do plan to make it more obvious that we are dog friendly to those who are new to us. Being Dog Friendly is a huge part of who we are having just won an award for being Pet Friendly but we totally understand that it is not for everyone. We do find that the majority of our dog owners are very responsible and aware of those around them, especially those who don’t have dogs with them. With regards to the chip portion size, I will bring this up with our kitchen staff to ensure consistency. Apologies that we were unable to provide you with a paper receipt but I can assure you that we do not spam you with anything, it is only the receipt that gets sent.

Come here for the NW200 every year and always use this place for breakfast or occasionally main meal. Cannot fault it in the slightest, even when busy always good service and in all the years I have never had a bad meal and always clean. Look forward to next year.

Nice cafe, good food, and very friendly and helpful staff. The only thing that lets it down are the dogs. Yes it’s dog friendly, but any place serving food should not allow dogs, and that’s why I shall not be back. One older couple actually got up and walked out. Some dog owners just don’t know how to keep their dogs under better control, even when it’s a dog friendly establishment..customers need to be told to keep dogs under the table and not roaming about on a lead in the path of other customers . Think they need to take into consideration that not all their customers are dog lovers or dog owners : there were a number of large dogs all within a confined area and my granddaughter is not very keen on large dogs which meant she was a little uptight : I felt like I was in a dog kennel. Really really off putting which means I would not advise anyone with children to visit if they are scared of dogs.

Thank you for your review. We do not put a limit on the size of dogs allowed in as we understand that to owners, their dogs are family. We do make sure where possible that there is room for all dogs to tuck in at the table and even remove chairs from tables where possible to allow them the space they need. There are many dog friendly establishments in the town and we are all very proud that our town is one of the most dog friendly towns in NI. We do also have many customers who do not own dogs so we are sorry that you feel that you would not come back.

We called in for a bite to eat. We are dog lovers, we didn’t have our dog with us as we were on holiday and unfortunately he doesn’t have the manners to not try and steal from other people as he’s a very tall greyhound. I loved being around the well mannered dogs and we were thanked for giving up half of our table to an elderly couple who had arrived in heavy rain to find no tables left. This was our choice, we didn’t mind at all. Really friendly staff. Would come again.

Thank you for your review Leanne and thanks again for sharing your table, it was really appreciated by the couple who regularly visit and by us so that we didn’t have to turn them away, especially in the rain. Hopefully we will see you again and maybe next time you will have your doggie with you for treats 🐾

Delicious home baked treats - especially the apple tart! Lovely lunches, healthy salads or a big satisfying meal, whichever you fancy - all very tasty. Served by extremely friendly staff in a lovely restaurant. It’s our first stop every time in Portrush...our dog would never forgive us if we went anywhere else, he loves it and makes a bee line for it as soon as we reach the end of the prom! He is always greeted with a fresh bowl of water & a doggy treat 🐶😂. I’d highly recommend Indigo, give it a go..you won’t be disappointed!

Clean & welcoming. The food was delicious & well presented. Service would have been great but unfortunately they had a staff issue in the kitchen which in turn affected this. Otherwise, worth a visit if you're not in a rush. Just enjoy your surroundings, the friendly & helpful staff, & the company you're with & you'll have a great experience.

This cafe was more than we could've expected. A warm welcome from we walked in, homely & very friendly staff. Food was fresh homemade and good portion. Coffee & traybakes were also fantastic. Bonus that it is dog friendly, will definitely be back.
