A small & charming little cafe with interesting food selections. Our party of four chose an Almond Croissant (too dry for my liking, would have been much better had it been warmed before serving), The Green Eggs on Toast and the Lavender French Toast were delicious and the presentation was beautiful.The Cappuccinos were WAY too Dark and Strong (I only took two sips and could not stomach a third). The service while friendly was painfully slow. A little off putting to have the Restroom directly in the Dining Area!

Perfect sized menu, good variety of choices that make me want to go back and try them all. Excellent service; quick, professional and friendly. The establishment was clean, well presented with a laid back, comfy and cozy atmosphere. Serving 3fe as their main espresso; a world renowned coffee roaster from Dublin. We had 5 coffees on our table, all were delicious. My only feedback would be my espresso was a little thin. Besides that, amazing!

We had a wonderful dining experience thanks to the exceptional staff at this restaurant. They made us feel incredibly welcomed and were highly accommodating. The chai was awesome. French toast to die for. The only downside is that the tables are a bit close to each other; not the best for a private conversation. I expect this will get very busy during peak hours.

Recommended to us and it didn't disappoint. It does get busy so be prepared to wait for a table. Great service, the food was fantastic and we enjoyed it so much we stayed for another coffee.

Very nice atmosphere, and the food is delicious. We had to queue for about 20 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait. We will be back for sure.

Caught up in the Belfast Pride Parade buzz, we slipped into the pocket for a late brunch around 3pm. Surprisingly, it wasn't as crowded as I thought. My go-to, the Korean BBQ Chicken Bapper, didn't disappoint — loved the kimchi twist. Iced latte cooled me down just right. This is my third visit, and I'm still in love. Cozy, cute, and well-decorated, it's my go-to brunch spot!

I was really impressed with this place, not only was the food amazing but the service was great. You can’t book so it’s a queuing system, we waited for about 30 mins and it was worth it. I got the mushroom toast and it was delicious (pic attached). Coffee and everything else delicious too. The only feedback I would have is around the queuing system, would be great to have one of the systems where you take phone numbers and text people when the table is ready as I’ve experienced at other places. Just means people can go off and have a walk, plus less crowding around the entrance.

The lady that wrote the one star review today is proof that being a Karen isn’t reduced to middle-aged white ladies and she is absolutely insane. This place is spectacular! From the moment we walked to the door, it was the best dining experience I’ve had since in Ireland - and maybe before. There was a short wait for a table and my friend and I split a table with a mother and daughter who were amazingly sweet. The gingerbread latte was carefully crafted. The “Soul Food Waffle” with Halloumi was ridiculously good - and I’m from Detroit and spend a great deal of time in the South, so I know a thing or two about Soul Food. The waffle was perfectly cooked. The pulled pork was moist and had just the right amount of fat. The poached egg was still runny but didn’t overtake the plate. The halloumi was flavorful. I can’t say enough good about it. The banana bread was caramelized around the edges which gave it a really chewy and not too sweet flavor. The chai was ACTUAL CHAI and not that syrupy nonsense se you find at most coffee shops. The atmosphere invites conversation with neighboring tables. The staff was delightful. Every single person we saw had a smile on their face and Bailey, our server, puts the Belle in Belfast. I just loved this place. Do yourself a favor and go here.

Despite it being a very busy morning the staff were very hard working and friendly. We did not have to wait long on our scrumptious breakfast or coffee and really enjoyed the whole experience.
