Went twice while visiting PRONI. Amazing place, staffed by volunteers. There is no set price for coffee and trays bakes. It is all by donation. That days dosh pays for the next days nosh as the sign says. I can't speak highly enough of the service, Bryce, John , Jackie and the others who's names I don't know. They are super friendly and customer oriented. I had a lovely chat with a volunteer who had a son living near me in Canada. Small world.
There are comfy couches to relax on, lots of seating and tables. There are also picnic tables outside. The Cafe is accessible via a ramp.
Please visit and donate to a good cause.
Amazing discovery whilst I was visiting Belfast. It is the perfect place to enjoy a scone and cup of tea/coffee. They don't offer meals however you are welcome to bring food in from elsewhere and enjoy the atmosphere. There are a range of seating options from sofas to bar stools, and there are books to read during your visit or you can spend some time in the prayer garden, not to mention all of the incredible local artwork on display. The volunteers are super friendly and the whole café runs on the donations of the customers which is an excellent initiative. Would recommend to anyone who is nearby.
Its was my first time here. I had a tea and bits of cakes. It was really nice and a real lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend!
Never seen anything like this before. Staff were super friendly and explained fully how it all worked. We popped down the road for some hot food and returned to eat our food there and had a cup of tea and a really nice slice of cake called a haystack (sort of coconut sponge)
Fantastic place to enjoy a coffee and cake, have what you like pay what you think is fair or can afford. A great idea and lovely staff. They don't do hot food just cakes, scones and tray bakes, but you are welcome to bring hot food in from the local spar 2 min away. Right in the Titanic qtr. plenty of picnic tables outside.
Manned by volunteers, the cafe is such a unique idea. We chanced upon it after our visit to the Titanic Belfast. Beautiful place to just chill out and rest our feet after spending hours in the museum. Kudos to the volunteers.
Pay as you wish.
Such a cute little place! We randomly stumbled upon it when looking for a place to drink coffee, and it was such a kind and welcoming atmosphere that only asked for donations. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the selection of teas were brilliant! Would definitely go again!

It was so pleasantly surprising for me to discover that this cafe serves everything for free and the donation is entirely on the visitor 's will/ voluntary. Harry, the owner of the cafe is so gracious and a perfect gentleman who receives guests (every single person walking in) with the same smile, humility and compassion and checks on the health and well being. The ladies at the counter/ kitchen serve tea, coffee and food items with the same compassion and grace. The cafe is well kept and spacious and ventilated with enough sunlight lighting the entire space. A good collection of books is available on the shelves for the reader in you.
The cafe has a special prayer room and stationery to write down your wishes and prayers and pin to the wired tree at the center.
Harry personally said prayers for me and spent a good time talking and discussing things with me.
It's a must visit cafe and so our part/ bit to contribute towards something very good and humane.
They have provided food and shelter to so many people, who did not have food and home and during tough times.
Felt light and inspired!!!
What an awesome concept. There are no prices as such for the food, everything is served on a donation basis only. Lovely tea and nice coffee. The staff were super friendly and welcomed us in. We were looking for a place for lunch and as they didn’t serve lunch here suggested we went to spar to buy something, which we did.
We had some cake there and paid £10 for it all, well worth a visit
Amazing atmosphere! Perfect place to spend some time reconnecting with yourself or connecting with kind hearted strangers in the volunteer staff. People are so friendly and lovely to chat with. This cafe provides the ultimate combo with coffee, a treat, warmth from the elements and a warm fuzzy feeling in your tum tum. Thank you guys for the excellent hospitality. All the best!
