Horsebox coffee stops have been popping up all over Northern Ireland in the last few years.

Not only do they serve top quality coffee, they also have a variety of sweet treats and bakes sure to tickle those taste buds.

If you are a caffeine addict in need of a fix, why not take a road trip this summer and make your way to our top 5 coffee spots.

Check out our favourite spots to hit up 👇

Coop Coffee Co.

The pink and white retro coffee van has caused a social media frenzy since it opened. It now has two locations – Cranmore Park and Drumbeg. It has proved to be a firm favourite with the doggos who can be treated to a puppacino. I hear their cini swirl pots are a must-try too!

Southpoint Coffee Co.

The vintage horsebox is a family run business in the small fishing town of Kilkeel. They offer a range of seasonal specials from Firepit Iced Lattes to Nojito Iced Teas. You can also choose from their selection of homemade bakes, including brownies, protein balls and vegan treats. Love a bit of merch? Their branded tote bags are the cutest!

Evanlay Coffee

Situated in the heart of Rostrevor, Co. Down, is a must for locally sourced coffee. Having a bad day? Have no fear, the owner Scott is sure to brighten up anyone's day! His coconut milk latte is divine! The bright and vibrant coffee cups were also beautifully designed by his wife, artist Jacqueline Rooney.

Native Coffee

If you're planning a trip to the beach, hit up Minerstown Beach - Home to Native Coffee. If it's a hot, sunny day treat yourself to an iced latte or if it's a colder day (more likely in NI) warm yourself up with a coffee or creamy hot choc! Do your bit and get 50p off by bringing your reusable coffee cup!

North Coffee Co.

If you're touring the North Coast make a stop at Boatpark in Cushendall. If you're not a coffee lover, take no fear as you can also scoop up some ice cream here! Sit back, relax and watch the boats come in as you enjoy a hot drink or a wee poke on the Coast.
