Glasshouse proudly champions quality and creativity, blending café comfort with Mediterranean-inspired dishes and deli favourites. From hearty breakfasts and gourmet sandwiches to rich stews and vibrant salads, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes while maintaining a strong focus on freshness. Their signature Glasshouse Triple Club Sandwich, amazing signature flatbreads and homemade coleslaw have become firm favourites among regulars.

The café’s own description highlights its commitment to freshness and individuality, and recent customer reviews echo this sentiment. Guests consistently praise the “delicious food”, “friendly staff”, and “lovely atmosphere”, with many noting the attention to detail and the welcoming vibe.

Glasshouse also specialises in gluten-free options, with over 12 cakes and traybakes available daily. All sauces are sourced gluten-free, and their homemade soups, stews, and breakfast sausages are gluten-free too. In fact, around 85% of the menu is gluten-free or can be adapted, thanks to their fresh-to-order approach.

Beyond daily service, Glasshouse is available for private hire events, and its local popularity has earned the owner the unofficial title of “King of Baby Showers” in Lisburn – a nod to the café’s charm and versatility as a celebration venue.

Most importantly, Glasshouse is deeply rooted in the community. Since taking over during the pandemic, the owner has weathered every challenge—from energy costs to the rising cost of living—with the unwavering support of loyal customers. “We are forever grateful for the love and custom of everyone who walks through our doors,” they share. “It has been an absolute privilege to serve this community.”
