Suntrap is a cozy café tucked just off Lambeg Road in Lisburn, offering a relaxed spot for coffee lovers and casual brunch seekers alike. Known locally for consistently strong coffee, it’s a place that invites lingering over a well-poured latte or a robust long black, making it ideal for anyone who values quality and craft in their cup. The café’s selection of baked goods, from flaky croissants to their standout cruffins and moist banana bread, pairs effortlessly with the coffee and is perfect for a mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up.

The atmosphere at Suntrap is notably comfortable without feeling crowded, with seating options that spill indoors and out. This makes it an excellent stop whether you’re out for a walk along the nearby Lagan Tow Path or looking for a quiet corner to catch up with friends. The staff’s approachable and helpful nature adds to the easygoing vibe, making visits quick and pleasant, whether popping in for a takeaway coffee or settling down for a casual brunch.

Suntrap’s modest but thoughtful lunch and brunch items complement its broader focus on cakes and traybakes, which seem to gather a steady stream of locals keen on a sweet bite alongside their coffee. The café’s clean and well-maintained facilities, including bathrooms, reflect the care put into the overall experience.

This spot tends to attract both regulars and visitors who appreciate coffee craftsmanship without the hustle of Belfast’s busier scenes. Mornings and early afternoons during weekdays tend to be best for those wanting a quieter environment, whereas weekends see a gentle buzz with people enjoying longer, more social visits. For anyone passing through Lisburn or exploring the nearby towpath, Suntrap offers a natural pause—a place where solid coffee and casual hospitality feel right at home.

Absolutely excellent coffee shop. Possibly the best coffee and carrot cake about. Very helpful staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely clean bathroom facilities. Have a small selection of lunch and brunch items but loads of cakes, tray bakes and the like.

One of Lisburn's best coffee spots (if not the best). Staff are always lovely and a wide selection of buns etc are always available. Handy little window for takeaway coffee's too. Location is great for calling in when in the area. People need to stop overlooking Suntrap in favour of Belfast's coffee options!

Always a great experience at Suntrap. It’s a lovely, cosy little spot and the coffee and nibbles are superb. Service is quick and friendly and the overall atmosphere makes it a great spot to catch up with friends.

I've passed this little gem for months but had the pleasure of calling in today. It didn't disappoint. Great food, coffee and a cool vibe. Perfectly located near the Lagan Tow Path. It's a great excuse for a walk and a bun.

It was all very nice and a new spot for me and should come back another time when it's so close to closing time. Although the staff were very relaxed and happy to let us sit on.

Driving from Belfast to Dublin, we stopped in Lisburn for breakfast. This local spot was bustling with a cozy morning ensemble of people also enjoying breakfast. The staff was sweet and happily answered all our questions. All the food items were freshly homemade, and we especially enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant and the lemon drizzle muffin, accompanied by a nice cup of coffee. As Danish tourists, we highly recommend the place!

Local cafe with extremely tasty drinks and food. The bakes are always lovely (personal favourite is the ginger cake) My favourite drink is the caramel latte and the chai tea with oat milk. Very kind staff and always a warm welcome! Highly recommend.
