Coffee Cure is a great boon to have in the local area. There are precious little others to compete in this part of Bangor apart from 2 of the big chain places besides Tesco at Springhill. As such it is the only independent and thus unique feeling coffee shop in Bangor West really. The coffee is excellent and the lack of direct competition has clearly done nothing to stifle standards here. All the usual coffee fayre is on offer and to a high standard. On top of this there is a range of food options that you won't get in the chain coffee places. You can get a proper hot breakfast/lunch as well as sandwiches and a range of sweet stuff. The muffins tend to be pretty special in here despite my usual lack of a sweet tooth. For me both the staff and the ambience of the place are what keep me coming back. It is simply a lovely place to sit, particularly the large glass area to the side which is cosey in winter and bright and airy in summer. The staff are lovely, welcoming and often chatty without it being forced 'customer service training' friendly. All in all there aren't really any other places to head in this part of town, but if there were they'd have to go a pretty long way to top Coffee Cure anyway. read more
