Up along the breathtaking Antrim Coast, Twilight Coffee & Bunkhouse is a hidden gem that’s as enchanting as its name suggests. With panoramic views of the rugged shoreline and a welcoming ambiance that makes you want to linger just a little longer, it’s the ultimate spot to grab a coffee, savour some mouthwatering bites, and soak in the magic of Carnlough’s stunning landscape.
I was on a cycle and decided this would be my coffee/breakfast spot and it did not disappoint (sadly many do). It was hard to get back on the bike if I’m honest – I could have grabbed one of their comfy seats and stayed all day.
Okay so, let’s talk coffee. Twilight takes their brew seriously, serving up expertly crafted cups that cater to both the casual sipper and the die-hard caffeine enthusiast. Whether you’re craving a flat white, a pillowy hot chocolate filled with marshmallows, or something seasonal from their creative menu, each drink is made with passion and precision. Paired with the coastal views, it’s an experience that’s hard to beat.
But it doesn’t stop there. The brunch menu at Twilight is all about fresh and hearty dishes. From savoury breakfast options to indulgent lunches, every plate showcases the best of what the Antrim Coast has to offer. Think freshly baked pastries, artisanal sandwiches, and daily specials that highlight the rich, local produce. There’s something to satisfy every appetite, and trust me, the food is worth every bite like the Spanish Eggs I got or the perfect breakfast bap named: Not-Your-Average-Bap filled with local eggs, sausages and the ever show stopping Ballymalloe Relish.
I nearly got one of the amazing looking sausage rolls before I left too but the hills on the bike were calling. With its modern yet cozy interior and those jaw-dropping views, Twilight Coffee feels like a slice of peace on the coast. It’s the perfect place to kick back after a morning cycle, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy some quiet time with a book and a latte.
