I had the pleasure of dining at 5a Cafe in Stranmillis, and it was a truly delightful experience. I decided to try their Special Eggs on Sourdough, and I must say, it was a culinary masterpiece!
The dish was expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of acidity and fat that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The tangy notes from the sourdough bread harmonized beautifully with the richness of the eggs. It was a satisfying and wholesome meal that left me feeling restored and content.
The attention to detail and the thoughtful combination of flavors truly made this dish stand out. It's evident that the chefs at 5a Cafe take pride in their craft, as each bite was a delightful revelation.
Aside from the exceptional food, the cafe's ambiance was cozy and inviting, providing a relaxed and pleasant setting to enjoy the meal.
Quesed up at the service window and got a hot chocolate , blondie, and a salted caramel brownie. Great tasty treats are worth a visit .
Visited here with my daughter for a quick lunch. Good soup with sour dough bread. My daughter had the waffles with chicken. Good coffee. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Very clean and spacious wash room.
Nice little cafe in stranmillis area, they have yummy small selection of food so they are always busy especially in the weekends. Recently, they renovated their space so more tables inside. If you are exploring Belfast you can grab a cup of coffee from here and enjoy it while walking by the river lagan down the street.
Great spot for a coffee or quick lunch, small menu which is always well prepared and there is something for everyone. The staff are friendly and attentive and managed to get us squeezed in even when they were very busy. Usually has a queue outside it but never had to wait more than 10min. Would recommend.
Overall good, small amount of meat in the chicken waffles was dissapointing and the batter was rock hard. The crumble cheesecakes however were PHENOMENAL!
Very small but very well decorated space. Reminded me of a speciality place from Berlin. Not something you'd expect next to a green grocer. The food looked amazing but we couldn't seem to find a menu only the specials board and the staff didn't offer one. Coffee was lovely though a good filter is always a bonus!
Good selection of food at acceptable prices. Has a studenty feel ( near to college ) Can eat inside and out and takeaway facilities. Busy times may have parking difficulties
Nice coffee shop with a relaxing atmosphere in Belfast, near Stranmillis. They serve lovely coffee and have a good hot food menu. There's a large paved area beside the shop to enjoy your coffee and snack. It's open from 8am and located in a quiet area that has a village feeling.
One of the best in belfast for coffee. Their soups are to die for and don't get me started on the waffles - unreal! Love this cafe! The buns are really tasty too - vegan and gluten free options available.
Ordered the Reuben, a toastd sourdough hot sandwich with pastrami, sauerkraut, Emmental cheese and Russian dressing. Has got to be best sandwich in Belfast right now. My dining partner chose the home made waffles with bacon, maple syrup and two poached eggs. Every item cooked perfectly. With two delicious cappuccinos, and friendly service from start to finish, 5A is a local treasure. We paid £25 for the sandwich, waffles, extra eggs and cappuccinos.
Nice coffe, good food, friendly staff but it can be very crowded !
A hidden gem,
Top notch carrot cake and lovely fresh coffee
10/10 for food and coffee!!
My experience was made even better with the outdoor seating area. My friend (highly terrified) was asked to hold an American bulldog on its lead while their owner went in to order their food. Let’s just say it was like a day at the petting farm!
Great food with charming staff and a cute location. It can get busy but worth it. Parking out front is a gamble, parking wardens are all over it so keep an eye out. Well recommended.
An intimate relaxing atmosphere with a large covered outdoor area providing a lot more seats and tables. The food was nice and staff very pleasant and helpful.
