Jam Jar Coffee House

I’m a bit conflicted in this review. This is by far the best place for coffee and tray bakes in PS. But it has limited seating. So please don’t visit when I’m coming pop up to their other place on the Prom (Awaken, though it’s not as good).

We had a lovely breakfast. My daughter had a ham and cheese toasties with orange juice and I had scrambled egg, toast, bacon and beans with a pot of tea. The food was well presented and the staff were good. They were efficient and friendly. Reasonable prices and descent size portions made this a very reasonable meal.

Arrived at 9.45 for bakery produce nothin much available, limited choice of scones of which I bought 3 and on tasting were hard an stale and had to be binned obviously left over from previous day, asked about sausage rolls they were priced at £3.50 totally over priced I would not recommend and certainly will not be back.

I stopped by this restaurant while on vacation in Northern Ireland. I was tired of having Ulster fry and decided to try something different. The staff, although young, were very friendly. Despite there being 7 of us, they were able to accommodate us. We all enjoyed our meals from the menu. I even had tea and a scone for the first time in years. There are many cafes in town, but we were satisfied with our experience here.

I have been stopping by the Jam Jar frequently over the years when visiting the North Coast. I recently purchased 4 sausage rolls, 2 scones, and 1 banoffee pastry for takeaway, which came to £19.25. I felt that we were charged too much for the items. The sausage rolls were not very good and the scones were just average. Paying £3.00 for a takeaway sausage roll seemed excessive to me. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

Came in February, and gave a great review, about the Jam Jar, but was totally disappointed on my latest visit, the display showing the Jam Jars wares were well below from what I remember and shown in their photos, I sent my wife in for another fantastic Beef sausage roll, as I thought, but what she had bought when we got back home was a disaster!! Roughly 3 inchs long, Inch half broad, with minimal meat, and rock hard pastry, Totally disappointed and at a price of £3-00!!!! Per Sausage Roll Serious!!! Should have gone to the local Spar Sorry, but I'll have to give you a wave next time View menu

On a very of the cuff visit to Portstewart, I called at the JamJar for 2 Latte, seen the selection of sausage rolls on offer and was taken back, not only by the selection! but the fact that the pastry was minimal around the meat allowing you to enjoy the full flavour, of whatever sausage roll you picked, and there was an excellent selection, of other foods besides, I picked the beef and was not disappointed by the pastry or the meat inside, absolutely first class, as you know sausage rolls are a hit or miss, next to no sausage covered in loads of pastry, or totally Bland, well to sum up this!! S/Rolls Amazing!!! Latte was fantastic, considering I usually have sugar with mine (but forgot to p...

While on a short trip to the area, my partner fell ill and we visited a nearby chemist for medication. We then searched for a shop to get water but were unsuccessful. I suggested we stop at JamJar and ask for a cup of water to take the tablets. The assistant informed us that they would have to charge 75p for the cup or we could buy a bottle for £1.70. Finding this price excessive, my partner decided to just swallow the tablets as they were. The following day, I returned to the store to speak to the manager (who was the same employee from the previous day) about how disappointed I was with their response. The manager defended their actions, showing no remorse and stating they were not allowed...

After a walk around Portstewart we decided to grab a bite to eat and popped into Jam Jar. We placed our order at the serving station and took our table. Our teas arrived promptly as soon as we got seated and we awaited our food order. Other diners arrived after us and took their seats. Whilst we waited for our food other diners who arrived after us were receiving their orders in fact everyone who arrived after us had been served. I called the waitress and asked if there was any sign of our food. This waitress was the person who took our order in the first place a sandwich and a toasties, she advised us that she 'd check our order after a few minutes she came back and asked us what our order...
