Conservatory Coffee, health food, boutiqueness Haiku perfection Visited here on a priest’s recommendation to sip coffee with Michael W. Smith in the background and hoping to catch a nice Irish evangelical’s eye… But even without those expectations being met(there’s always next time), I think I’ve found my new favorite coffee shop in County Down. As you walk into Jackson’s there is the boutique on the right, health food on the left, and straight to the back, nectar of the gods: COFFEE. Even further back, comfy couches and tables fill a beautiful, bright, glass conservatory facing out into the courtyard. Me and a friend sat until close(4:30 p.m.) sipping our coffee and admiring others fancy beverages and jealousy inducing desserts. While I have yet to witness it, I was told that the scones are as big as your head and full of fruity surprises. I couldn’t ask for a better setting or cup of coffee to sip, sit, people watch, and/or work.

Jacksons 38 is one of five(yes, you heard right) departments, if you like, all owned by Jacksons of Saintfield. Not a clue who this guy is, but he essentially owns half of the Main Street… As well as the main hardware /cookware store a few doors up, there is also a ‘Lifestyle’ stores few doors on up from that, which consists of a health food shop, a coffee shop and a home interiors shop. Phew! However, my trip was only to this sweet little boutique. Mainly consisting of ladies, gents and kids shoes, it is also a jewellery shop, an accessories shop(wallets, belts, scarves etc.), and a ladies clothes shop. Blinkin’ heck. It’s one of those shops that’s a myriad of little rooms and sections that see to go on forever. There really is a beautiful selection, and the range of kid’s school shoes rivals an actual shoe shop’s range. The lady sales assistant was very pleasant and welcoming — cheery smiles galore. She was helpfully aiding a customer who was trying on shoes, but didn’t neglect the others who were busy looking too. I must commend this Jackson fella on such a beautiful little shop. Highly recommended.
