Yellow Door - Lisburn

The toast was soggy and sour, with not enough butter. We were seated next to strangers who seemed unhappy, and the owner showed indifference when we tried to address the issue.

The restaurant is now under new ownership and has been renamed Crema. I recently had a cooked breakfast there with a friend and have been feeling very sick and nauseous ever since. I would recommend avoiding this place.

The cafe, now called Crema, is currently under new management. The previous Yellow Door fixtures and fittings have been taken over, in need of updating and cleaning. This was our second visit, the first being marred by an argument between the owner and staff regarding a food order mix-up. Despite receiving our order, the food did not meet the previous Yellow Door standard. During our most recent visit with a party of three, we were seated at a table for six. As we perused the menu, two strangers were seated at our table without our consent. When we confronted the waitress, she explained that the owner had requested the seating arrangement. Speaking with the owner about the intrusion, he offered no satisfactory explanation and seemed disorganized and unapologetic. The disregard for customers' safety during the ongoing pandemic was concerning, with no effort made to rectify the situation. The overall experience was disappointing and we have decided not to return to the establishment.

Dropped in here for breakfast recently while waiting to have a puncture fixed nearby. Have enjoyed a few visits in the past when the restaurant was under a different name. The displayed food looked good. Ordered and paid for bacon, fried eggs and sourdough toast with a large Americano £9.50. Not cheap, and no refills even for filter coffee. The one slice of bacon added £2 to the price; a sausage would have added the same again. Coffee came fairly quickly large, wide cup, most likely not heated before the coffee went in, as the thick cold porcelain very soon overwhelmed the warm liquid. Food arrived maybe 10 15 minutes later. One slice of (good) bacon and two fried eggs, with two slices of sourdough toast and a little aluminium tin with a small cube of butter in it sitting on one of the eggs. Lifting it off (hoping the bottom had been washed) brought with it some of the egg white which wasn’t cooked and which dropped onto the table. Sourdough bread needs to be toasted or baked lightly, otherwise your teeth suffer. This was like chewing cinders and the little cube of butter covered less than half of one slice. Bad choice of toast, which was my fault, but since it was one of the options, should have been done better. Staff were friendly and helpful, if extremely noisy throughout, but couldn’t make up for the poor food or value. Unfortunately, whatever happened to the previous restaurant to change it into a Maud’s hasn’t turned out well so far.

Tasty food. Staff busy and friendly. Scones are gorgeous. Also the fat chips.Handy for shopping too.
