Charging 80p for a bit of brown ding is scandalous
>mushroom (£2.50)
Are they fucking magic?
That bap shouldn’t be more than a fiver and that’s even pushing it. £0.80-£1.00 per fry item IMO
£3.80 for a flat white in Ballymena. Fuck me.
I thought that said bring your bap. Times getting tough
Food in coffee shops has got insanely expensive.
Hipster tax
Ridiculous that. I get a sausage & hashbrown wrap with cheese for £3.99. 3 sausages in it too.
The receipt is clearly itemised to stop someone from questioning the cashier every 5 minutes.
Yes definitely ripped off , but I do like how they break down the robbery
That’s brutal lad. £2.50 for a couple mushrooms and 80p for a bit of brown is a piss take. Hope you never go back after being done like that.
I still get 2x chicken fillet burgers, everything on them, and a large chip at my local chippy for less than that.
Liberty caps aint cheap !!
Food is great but wile dear hi I wouldn’t be paying that.
It’s got to the stage i refuse to pay for things like this when i can just make it as nice in the house
I don’t think it’s a massive rip off for the type of place Middletown is and for the quality of food and drink they offer. Yeah, these are high prices for Ballymena, but it’s a hip place modelled after similar cafés in Belfast and beyond. I always consider going to Middletown a (rare) treat. You know where you’re going and you have menu at the side close to the doors – you can always take a look, decide it’s not the right place for you and leave for a place that suits you better.
I don’t think their “build your own” is a good value if building something you can eat anywhere, you’d be better off buying one of the meals from the menu and eat something Middletown-specific. Their mains and desserts are top notch and portions are generous enough + they have some of the kindest, most polite staff I’ve ever encountered. Can’t say a bad word about the place.
It depends if it tasted spectacular or not
You were roasted.
It’s Middletown in Ballymena so I’m gonna say not a rip off. It’s a fancy hipster cafe that does some delicious food and that’s not too bad of a price.
Ballymena has tons of cheaper places (Noble and McAtamneys are fantastic) if you want that kinda thing but I’d be expecting to pay a little more in Middletown and I’ve never been disappointed. The staff, atmosphere and quality of the food is what you’re paying for.
How was the food?
I went to Subway and got a shitty foot long with a coffee and it was like £9.50 and I think that’s a ripoff because of the shit quality
Totally agree the prices are outrageous…..but they’re marked on the menu lad?
It’s only worth the price people are willing to pay, and you’ve paid for it.
That shop must have had big windows, because they saw you coming a mile off
This is the cost of having to pay decent wages, about time too, so maybe instead of expecting everyone else to feed us we’ll make our own!
My tongue is firmly in cheek, but there’s plenty of people who go on about wages being low-well higher prices for everything is the cost of fairer wages and we just have to accept it
Did they at least buy ye a drink before taking ye for the ride?
Mushrooms would want to be ‘Magic’ for that price!
Middletown coffee is where all “those” type of people in Ballymena go to be seen.
Coffees shite and it’s over priced.
I automatically judge anyone who says they go to it regularly.
Middletown is expensive. But the cost of rent, produce, energy and coffee has absolutely gone through the roof of late. Either the prices have to go up or the quality has to go down. The quality of the food and the staff are exceptional. I imagine they pay a decent living wage too.
Lovely place for a treat.
It’s unbelievable how expensive Northern Ireland is getting. Christ we really used to have it so good didn’t we
That £7.90 would make your own for a week at home
Prices are high but is this not the hazard of going off piste and getting exactly what you (build your own) vs the stock “small fry”
Wild prices. 80p for sauce is disgusting.
You guys should come to portrush, Arcadia a bacon bap (brioche with I kid you not, 2 pieces of bacon in it) costs £11 same price for flat white
Won’t be back there tbh, at least Middletown is good quality
Fuck aff
Cheers for the tip off. An establishment I shall never frequent.
What was the price of a sandwich that wasn’t “build your own”? From working in a busy place that had several set sandwiches on the menu, someone ordering something particular can mess with your flow, which I always thought kinda justified the higher price on build your own items.
£2.50 for mushrooms?! It’s £1.29 for a 400g box of mushrooms at Tesco. Those prices are ridiculous, but unfortunately, most other places aren’t far off than now.
