About

Flax Coffee Co on Bryan Street, Ballymena, is your friendly local hangout for breakfast, brunch, and lunch — and yes, dogs are very welcome too! Their menu is packed with tasty, wholesome options to suit every craving.

Start your day with hearty breakfasts like traditional Irish soda bread served with pork & leek sausages, crispy bacon, and fried eggs, or treat yourself to brioche French toast or fluffy buttermilk pancakes, available in both sweet and savoury styles. If you prefer something lighter, there’s fresh porridge topped with local honey and berries, or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and pesto on sourdough.

Throughout the day, enjoy fresh-baked scones, buttery croissants (plain or filled with ham and cheese), and a tempting range of homemade tray bakes and pastries. For lunch, choose from vibrant deli salads like the Super Caesar or the signature Ploughman’s lunch, or tuck into hot mains such as lasagne bolognese, homemade sausage rolls, and warming seasonal soups.

Flax also serves artisan flatbreads loaded with slow-cooked meats and fresh salad, plus toasted sandwiches and bagels with tasty fillings like honey ham & mature cheddar or smoked salmon & cream cheese. Families are covered with a kids’ menu featuring simple favourites like bacon and sausage baps and French toast with bacon. Customers with dietary needs are encouraged to inform the staff to ensure a great dining experience. 

With great food and a welcoming vibe, Flax Coffee Co is the perfect spot to relax, refuel, and catch up - whether you’re with friends, family, or your furry companion.
