We were in Belfast for a long weekend and came here for breakfast. We were lucky since it was during the week, it was just the two of us and we were third in the queue. Food was simply delicious and service very forthcoming. The decor is friendly and tables far enough apart. The sourdough bread here is simply delicious and if I happen to return I would just order it with the housemade jam and peanut butter :)

Lovely place to visit for brunch! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful – they really made the experience even better! The food was delicious, especially the French toast – highly recommended! I loved it so much I even shared it on my Instagram story: @mimiaziz11 Will definitely be coming back again! 10/10

The new venue is amazing, so much that I went for brekkie twice on my trip home. Staff are so friendly and my breakfast roll with the added touch of smoked cheese and homemade relish was excellent. Loved the piccolo split coffee. A must and very dog friendly

Unreal! We stood in a rather large queue waiting on a table, passers by asking was this place worth the wait. Everyone said yes. Another tourist passed and asked what was so special about this place. I gave her the menu and told her she wouldn’t get these amazing dishes anywhere else. The hash brown was heaven. I had the chilli naan bread. Unfortunately I don’t have the vocabulary to describe how truly fabulous this dish was.

We ordered the French toast and eggs benny, and to drink iced lattes. I’m very critical on coffee and these the food was amazing!! Will definitely be on my list to visit again next time we are in Belfast

Loved this place! I was weird and ordered porridge plus a side of the hot honey halloumi (yolo). Both were delicious, especially the oats! Quite possibly the best porridge I’ve ever had. The nut butter they put on it is outrageously good. I got there just after it opened so didn’t need to queue, but it was already filling up even then. And when I left the line outside looked long! Plan accordingly.

If you're looking for something different for breakfast. This is a must do. Although a tad more expensive than the usual cafe. The price to quality is worth it. The coffee I had was one of the nicest I've ever tasted. The Turkish Eggs were a delight and the sourdough with it was tremendous. The whipped avocado was excellent. The only downside was the chorizo, we ordered a side of it and it was a bit boring with everything else being so good, but that wasn't anyone's fault. On the side note they have free fresh water (You have to push the button a second time to turn off the tap btw) which is one of the nicest freshest tasting water I've ever had and wonder what they use to filter it!!

The location was tucked away in the small alley however I was surprised with the crowd! Coming here alone even i have to wait 15 minutes to enter though it is my most absolute favorite brunch in Belfast! Trying their ready to serve pastry and ordered a brunch menu also coffee everything wasn’t disappointing
