Cafe Alfresco

Café Alfresco are known for their out of this world pizzas and relatively inexpensive foods. There are two branches of this café in Newtownabbey; one in the Abbey Centre and one in Glengormley. Both branches are frequented by local employees /​staff from nearby shop on their lunch breaks who don’t want to eat junk food or fast food, instead preferring the healthier option. Because of this it can mean that it gets very busy around noon /​lunch time, but if you come later or earlier than this you’ll generally find a great service, lovely staff and some scrummy sandwiches. It’s a good option for the health conscious. Their dishes range from their gorgeous garlic sauté potatoes, substantial stews, mouth watering pizzas, plentiful pasta tubs (which come in a really good size) tempting toasties (my favourite!) lovely lasagne, I could go on but I’ll leave it to you to go try it out. You can choose the greasy option, but if you like they’ll make you up a superior salad bowl with stunning sauces or try one of the beautiful baked potatoes. Yum
