Alright, folks, gather ‘round. If you ever find yourself cruising along Northern Ireland’s north coast, make sure you’ve got a coffee stop penciled in for Lost & Found in Portstewart. Trust me, this place isn’t just another café; it’s a beacon for coffee lovers, brunch enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a side of sea breeze with their flat white.
Lost & Found kicked things off back in 2014 in Coleraine, and they weren’t messing around. They were the first in the area to say, “Hey, we deserve specialty coffee and brunch that doesn’t look like it came from a canteen.” And thank God they did. Fast forward a decade, and their move to Portstewart has cemented them as a coastal institution. With a sea-front view that could make you forget you ever had responsibilities, this café serves up some of the finest brews you’ll get your hands on, all made with the kind of love and craftsmanship that’s hard to come by.
And listen, I’d be lying if I said their setup isn’t one of my favourite excuses for a coastal road trip. The combination of coffee and view is rich, smooth, and—dare I say—therapeutic. The brunch menu? Actually no idea we just had a tray bake but people rave about it, actually we had a few rounds of tray bakes – It’s that kind of place where you’ll want to take your time, soaking in every sip and bite while the ocean does its thing in the background.
I grabbed one of their L&F Amber Mugs on my last visit. You’ll probably see me showing it off soon in a Collins Coffee Corner post, likely filled with some of the finest home-brewed stuff you’ve ever seen.
So, if you’re in Portstewart—or even remotely close—make Lost & Found a non-negotiable stop. Your taste buds (and probably your soul) will thank you.
