Café Bar Two Six is a charming little café and bar located right next to the Isle of Man Airport in Ronaldsway – and it’s quickly becoming a favourite for both locals and visitors. With its unique location overlooking the runway, it’s a brilliant spot to relax with a coffee and watch planes come and go. Whether you're waiting to catch a flight, picking someone up, or just looking for a peaceful place to sit and sip, Café Bar Two Six makes for an unexpectedly delightful stop.
Though modest in size, this café punches well above its weight when it comes to food quality, atmosphere, and service. It offers a warm and relaxed environment that feels just as suitable for a casual brunch with friends as it does for solo travellers with a book or laptop in hand.
The menu is inclusive and considered, with a broad range of options catering to nearly every dietary preference. You’ll find vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal, alcohol-free, and keto-friendly dishes available – all clearly marked and thoughtfully prepared. It’s a café that welcomes everyone, regardless of dietary needs, and prides itself on flexibility and freshness.
Signature dishes include beautifully balanced salmon bagels, fluffy pancakes stacked high with tempting toppings, and daily specials that keep things exciting for regulars. The homemade brownies have developed something of a cult following – rich, fudgy, and indulgent – often described as a must-try by those in the know.
As a bar as well as a café, Two Six offers an impressive selection of drinks, from barista-made coffees and artisan teas to craft beers, cocktails, and a well-curated wine list. Whether you’re after a quick espresso, a cheeky mimosa, or a chilled glass of white, the drinks menu has something for every mood and moment.
Inside, the space is small but welcoming, with a clean, modern design and friendly, helpful staff. Outdoor seating is sometimes available when the weather allows – great for those sunny days when you want to enjoy the view across the airfield. Due to the limited space, booking is sometimes recommended, especially at peak times like weekend brunches or when flights are arriving or departing.
Café Bar Two Six is also committed to supporting local, using fresh Manx produce wherever possible and serving up food and drink that reflects both global flavours and local pride.
For travellers and locals alike, Café Bar Two Six is a hidden gem that offers great coffee, thoughtful food, and a unique vantage point you won’t find anywhere else on the island.
