About Culture Coffee Portstewart
At 60 The Promenade in Portstewart, Culture Coffee is a cafe on the seafront, with a glass display unit of scones, tray bakes and sweet treats near the entrance. The counter runs on a walk-in basis, and a queue for service has been noted at times. Caramel squares appear regularly on the menu alongside banana bread and coffee cake, and the kitchen also serves steak ciabatta sandwiches, chicken tenders with fries, and chicken Alfredo pasta with garlic bread. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options are available, along with alternative milks. It opens late in the evenings, giving those along the promenade a spot for coffee and baked goods outside standard cafe hours. Toilet facilities are on site.

Customer Review Summary
Traybakes and caramel squares draw repeated praise, with reviewers calling out the banoffee, carmelita, and coffee cake alongside "incredible" banana bread from the display case. Close behind, savory lunch items earn steady approval, including steak ciabatta sandwiches, chicken Alfredo pasta with garlic bread, and a cheeseburger for kids. Coffee itself is consistently called good to incredible, and several reviewers describe a friendly, cozy setting good for lingering over tea. A few note slower service, with one reviewer waiting in a queue for around ten to fifteen minutes, and one detailed complaint describes chicken tenders and fries as overcooked and hard to cut through on a visit that otherwise contrasted with the reviewer's usual good experience there. One reviewer flagged a pepper sauce as too runny. Multiple diners mention returning often, with one closing on having stayed to chat over tea long after the rest of the world had "gone on phones.

“Service is slow, waiting 10/15 mins in a queue. There's a great display of scones/ tray bakes which are so appetising and very tasty. No need to watch the calories🤣. Hot meals/ snacks are available and again home made and tasty. Toilet facilities available”

“Wow Jane and Calvin served perfect tea and banoffee and carmelita. Happy to let us stay and chat and catch up. What beautiful setting on seafront. Great to have a coffee shop open late for friendship and cuppa when the rest of the world is on phones.”

“We have used this cafe often. The staff are friendly and generally helpful. Food is normally very good but today I was disappointed. I ordered chicken tenders with fries, something I've had a few times, it's my go to meal, and it's always been lovely. Today, the fries looked and tasted like they had been fried at least twice if not more, so much so they were quite unpleasant and I couldn't finish them. The chicken tenders were so well done I could barely cut through the batter and certainly couldn't eat it as it was so hard and crispy, the chicken itself when I got to it was tasty enough..”
