Good spot for brunch in Belfast! The service could have been better but worth the wait. The banana and chantilly cream pancakes were very good, but watch out as the pecan turned out to be peanut!

s. m.

My second time here but first for breakfast - such a lovely spot - very instagramable!! Service was friendly and welcoming, awesome coffee and the food was really really good. I had the Irish Breakfast and it’s clear they use good quality ingredients and produce. We headed in early enough (before 10am) so didn’t have a long wait but as we were leaving the queue had grown quite a bit - it’s worth the wait though. I love that they are so busy but don’t rush you through.

Reasonably priced and quirky deco cafe in the heart of Belfast. Food was decent. It was busy for a Friday lunchtime. We left just after 3pm and they had a closed sign up, which suggests to me their lunch service ends at 3pm and maybe reopens later in the evening. Food was made to order so may take longer to arrive at your table. The tea comes in a huge pot and allows at least 4 cups - make sure you go to the bathroom before leaving - which is also quirky and provides feminine products.

One of the best tasting pancakes in my life. You won't regret picking the Banana Pecans option, the flavours were amazing together, pancakes were fluffy and warm. Server's were attentive and friendly. They had lovely decor and to top it off they had a basket of items in the bathroom for you to use!

G. S.

I would say that this is definitely a cut above a regular cafe. The decor is very stylish and this leads to a relaxed atmosphere. I had a full Irish breakfast which was nicely cooked and enough to set me up for the day. My wife had a pancake stack which she thoroughly enjoyed. Coffee was very good too! Staff are friendly and professional as you would expect from such an establishment. I will go back again in the future, most likely for lunch or dinner. Thanks!

Amazing brunch experience! Very flavourful. Definitely recommend if you're around. Expect it to be busy at any time, we were lucky to get a table on a weekday.

S. C.

We went on a Saturday morning for breakfast. The good-This place is stunning, plays great music and has a great vibe. We waited for 15 minutes just to get a table which tells you how popular it is. The bad-But we then waited another 35 minutes for our food and we know looking at other tables it was the same throughout. The meals were excellent when they arrived and the staff were polite and helpful. If they can get the service times reduced by 15 minutes (which for cooked breakfasts isn't unreasonable) this is easily worth 5 stars. As we left, the line outside had lengthened to get a table. It's very popular.

T.

Beautiful cafe with excellent customer service. Welcome greeting with helpful staff catering for gluten free requirements. Good coffee and a fantastic vibe. Food was delicious 🤤 👍👍👍 Would recommend to everyone.

D. S.

First Irish Breakfast at Harlem has set the standards high for all that follows. Excellent meals and prices were very reasonable compared to in the US. I was pleasantly surprised that the blood pudding taste is not bad after all. If you eat scrapple or rocky mountain you should have no problem with blood pudding.

Fresh, flavoursome and most important grease free brunch. It was worth the wait in the queue. If you're planning to go to this place, I'll suggest to book it in advance. We arrived here without booking and, we had to wait good 30 mins to go in. To be honest, the hosts were moving the queue pretty fast. The space itself is beautiful, starting from the door. Full of victorian charm and the decor adds to glamour of this building. Our hostess came very quickly to get our orders and we got our food pretty fast too. And as I said before, it was delicious. I was in belfast for a weekend trip and after the night out wanted some clean fresh food. I will definitely be back.

P. B.

Really good place to eat for Breakfast, had the Full Irish breakfast and the service was excellent. But do be sure to phone ahead and book your table regardless if it's for dinner or breakfast.

B. R.

Birthday Breakfast so a special occasion and looked forward to this from January booking . Great atmosphere and well food is on its way so will let you know about that when it comes . Lovely place recommend .

M. M.

We visited at around 11:30am on a Saturday morning and weren’t seated till 12:35pm, after which we didn’t see our food till 1:19pm. I don’t mind and expect to have to wait for food on a Saturday as it’s obviously a busy day but nearing two and a half hours of waiting is pretty ridiculous…we even saw multiple groups of customers who’d pre-booked and still had to wait 15-25 minutes for their table…! Aside from the queuing, the decor was beautiful, staff were extremely friendly, cakes looked gorgeous and food was delicious! There was even live music which added to the experience (and somewhat made up for the long wait). I’d probably visit again but definitely not on a Saturday morning / early afternoon! TLDR; great food and vibe but don’t visit on a Saturday morning / early afternoon, you’ll be waiting for hours

M. F.

What an absolute treat! Had a lovely graduation lunch at Harlem, every member of staff was so friendly and took great care of us! The scampi and wine was delicious! Special thanks to Emma for making my graduation day incredible! We'll definitely be back :)

R. G.

We had afternoon tea here. The food is just unreal and the girls in service are lovely. The Lady who made the toasties for our tea was so chatty and we talked about the food with her, and she was full of craic. I've been here twice and can't recommend it highly enough. Please consider this for an afternoon tea date or breakfast.

M. S.

Pre-booked but had to wait 15 mins. Lovely vibe and atmosphere, but busy. When food came out I had ordered a pancake stack, which was lovely, but to me a stack is more than two pancakes. Description on menu should be "pancakes" instead of pancake stack. Coffee delicious but expensive (£4.95 for a cappuccino) as I am dairy free and ordered oat milk, which cost an extra £1. Will be back - just not too often as it's dear enough

K. E.

Best meal we’ve had in years! Fantastic lasagna, toasties, mince pie, and the desserts…dreamy. Very affordable, amazing ambiance. Still dreaming of that meal days later. Unbelievable.

C. G.

Came in 1pm peak time on Sunday. The staff were immediately very accommodating, checked in with us no fewer than 4 times even though they were able to seat us in under 10 minutes. The food arrived very quickly despite having a full house. The food was incredible, one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten and if I ever meet the chef I will give them a hug. Great decor, great service, great food. 10/10

S. M.

Went for lunch. Bit of a queue outside and then inside a short wait for a table but well worth it. Obviously very popular. Food was amazing and well priced for Belfast. Something to suit all tastes - healthy options, vegan choice etc. Staff friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back and would love to try the dinner menu 😋

n. B.

Quirky decor. We were seated quickly on a Friday morn. Food came promptly and was delicious.

P. M.

Went for Sunday brunch and the food and decor was fantastic. Friendly blonde lady who may be the Manager noticed we had our dog with us outside and grabbed him a sausage from the kitchen and fed it to him herself. There was also a minor mix up with the coffees we ordered and they were extremely helpful and without hesitation made us fresh coffees. Will definitely return.

J. D.

I was very impressed with this place. Staff were amazing. Extremely friendly and attentive. The interior is wall to wall with pictures. Plenty to look at while you wait on your food. I got the gluten free scampi and sweet potato fries with feta cheese and pomegranate. It was perfect and reasonably priced also. Seemed to be a live musician just finishing as we were being seated. Would have liked to have seen that. :)

T. C.

Loved everything. The staff, food, decor, live music on a lazy Sunday brunch. Super busy but the staff are friendly and efficient. The lady in charge must be the owner or should be getting a cut of the profits. Without her organizational skills and general aura, I feel that the place just wouldn’t be the same. She is part of the atmosphere. There was a queue out the door and I can see why it is so loved. Even the tea pots and milk jugs are an addition to the decor and atmosphere.

J. M.

Loved the eclectic decor and art work. Irish breakfast was fantastic. Very popular place and there is often a queue.... don't let this put you off though as a table will be found very quickly. Highly recommend.

C. B.

Two girls out shopping in town on Saturday night about 6pm. We had tried a few places for dinner (we had not booked anywhere in advance) but we're not successful then we came across Harlem. The place was packed but the waiter asked us to wait and within a few minutes he had a table for us. We were presented with menus and ordered our mains (both Christmas dinners). When they arrived they were steaming hot and absolutely delicious . The staff and the service were both excellent. Well done Harlem👏👏👏👏

E. O.

Had extremely delicious banana pancakes from here for breakfast! They were expensive but worth it. Plus the chocolate milkshake was one of the best I’ve ever had! The decor here is amazing too, even the bathroom was adorned in gold and tassels!

K. W.

Love their decorations in the shop! Really vintage and fancy! The breakfast was amazing as well! It was quite busy but It make sense, bc the food is tasty and the service is good as well! I will go back in the future!

G. H.

Loved this brunch - great staff and food. All organic and fresh. So tasty! Well recommend. Loved the music and decor too!

J. Y.

Incredible food, quirky decor and great vibe. Would definitely recommend!

e. h.

Went for breakfast to Harlem this morning, by the time we got a table it was 12.07 so the lunch menu had started and I think that this was half the problem of what ensued. We waited for over 20 minutes to have our order taken and about 50 to have the food served. The food was average. The burger was enjoyable and the toasted sandwich was OK. The chips were quite greasy and tasted like they had been fried with the onion rings. However, the main disappointment was the response from the waitress when we voiced our opinions. She was not accepting of our opinions and in fact argued the point (saying she was eating the same chips and they were fine as she doesn't like onions and also that it was a Bank Holiday). We were left feeling very awkward and while we understand places have bad days, don't ask how everything was if you don't want to hear the answer!

J. D.

A massive wow..! My daughter suggested we go for lunch at this place she called Harlem, so we did. It was probably one of the best, if not the best lunch experience I have ever had. From the second I walked in and while waiting for a table to become available we took in the live music, cool live music, while I was looking around at this incredibly furnished room while trying to take it all in, bam, this face appeared with what I can only describe as one of the most phenomenal, mesmerizing, energetic out of this world smiles I have ever seen…(for a second I thought Margot Robbie was working in Belfast) appears, behind the bar In this white top with funky sequin trousers, Working away like a crazy dj fixing up the food. The four of us sat to the left of the door by the window and just enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for a lovely surprise. You delivered on every single aspect that makes a place go from great to incredible, all the bits that go into making an amazing venue you absolutely smashed it out the park. I feel happier for taking the time to tell you and hope you take it in, as I truly want you to appreciate just how stunning you and your place is. Love love loved it. Thank you again and cant wait to come back.

S. W.

Brunch fantastic, and the best flat white I have tasted for a long time. Staff really friendly great atmosphere. PS Bloody Mary hits the spot!

D.

This place is such a fantastic place to eat. We had our breakfast here and the food is of high quality..and the vibe is Great craic such nice staff.. always smiling and chatting will defo be back when we come up from cork again that is 😎👌

Y. C.

Lovely atmosphere in this place. Very nice young staff. Fab food beautifully presented. Before we left a young girl started to sing, nice and quietly. Loud enough to hear but not intrusive in our conversation. Will definitely be back. Really good menu.

A. M.

Came here to try the breakfast because it was very close to the hotel we were staying in. Luckily we came early around half 9 as it got busy quickly. The tea came in a cool pot and the milk was in a cow jug very cute. The staff are very nice and it was quick service considering how busy it was. Prices are decent too. I got the veggie breakfast it was really nice. I would have liked the soda bread to be brown but it was tasty. This is my second time here when I have visited Belfast.

P. R.

Beautiful interior and the warmest of welcomes to match. My first experience of an Ulster Fry. It was ace. Tip - pay at the bar rather than wait for a bill to your table

P. M.

Eclectic indeed, wa! What a discovery as we walked around...par excellence as we really enjoyed charcuterie board y seafood platter..cool vibe, great wines, relaxing atmosphere...looking forward to breakfast.

L. E.

I can't tell whether I'm being sceptical here, but having waited for around 45 minutes in a queue outside to have breakfast, I must say I was rather disappointed. Not to tarnish the breakfast menu, maybe I built myself up into a frenzy. My Irish breakfast was very dry, good quality sausage, bacon was OK. Another in our party had four hard boiled poached eggs. The quality of the ingredients is certainly evident, but not up to scratch once presented. Perhaps we had an off day. The coffees were all great, as were the juices and milkshakes. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and a great look to it. A real mixed visit to be honest, but it's the overall hype caused by the queuing/booking that threw me. I'd like to return for a lunch or dinner in the bistro to really get a feel for what's on offer.

D. K.

It's a lovely cafe. The atmosphere/ interior is interesting and inviting, antique looking tables/chairs, lovely pictures. Food is lovely and you have a good choice for breakfast, lunch , or cakes. Staff are very friendly too. Definitely a place to catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply treat yourself

M. S.

Once arrived we waited a bit for the table, it was a busy day for them. The atmosphere was very nice, the place is a mix of many different styles, bohemian chic in predominance. Initially we thought to have just a hot drink, but once we took a seat, looking at the great dishes around us, we decided to order something light and warm. The plates have been served in a reasonable time. Scampi for me and a leeks and potatoes soup for my miss. Both of them were very well presented and tasty. I can't tell the same for the Irish coffee, more like an alcoholic cappuccino. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A. G.

Food and Irish coffee were great but the service was horrible. I guess we were unlucky. First, they gave our order to another table so we had to wait after they served everybody else. Then, when it finally came, they gave us the wrong food so we had to wait more. Can’t complain too much as they removed it from the bill in the end.

M. M.

What can I say bar an excellent eclectic restaurant that serves delicious food in wonderful surroundings with a friendly atmosphere - a 'must try' eatery in the heart of Belfast.

K. G.

Beautifully eclectic! Delicious foods. Very unique. I’ll be back during my stay here.

V. L.

Simply excellent, I'm not a fan of black pudding but this one was crispy and did enjoy it. The decoration just gorgeous. Loved it

c. h.

Loved this place, so different from the norm. Breakfast was second to none and great value too. The owner was an interesting character too, who was keen to inform us about the wall art and wonderful items including the furniture which all contribute to this atmosphere and ambience.

K. N.

Absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented. Lovely setting and ambiance great vibe. Staff are so lovely and the owner Faye is an absloute ray of light to speak to certainly will visit again 👍👌

J. S.

This place is a MUST when in Belfast! You have to book if you want to do breakfast/brunch over the weekend as it was packed. The service and staff were amazing, and the food was super delicious! The venue itself is the bets part, as it's artsy, quirky and fun! Thoroughly enjoyed it and the owner is amazing as well!

J. M.

Have been here before for food but this was the first wedding reception. Totally amazing venue. First class food and lovely staff. My steak was cooked to perfection and the attention to detail and presentation was fantastic. Fabulous venue fabulous food fabulous day

S. M.

What a fabulous place for breakfast. Food was lovely and so much to look at while you wait. Would highly recommend

U. B.

Gorgeous wee gem of a place!! Firstly the staff were amazing..we got a warm welcome in a very busy Belfast on a Saturday afternoon 😀 the food was excellent 👌 beautifully presented, generous portions and genuinely delicious. Cocktails were absolutely fabulous and there was an amazing guy singing live. Had an outstanding experience and definitely looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Harlem. 👌

J. R.

This was a great find! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, attentive staff and good food. The owner clearly has an artistic eye as the decor is uniquely beautiful. We’re going back today as the breakfast menu also looks tempting!

A. G.

Flavours are tingling deliciously in the mouth. Staff are very attentive and the atmosphere truth Harlem style. A must to visit. If you local or visiting. Decor is inviting and you can't wait to experience it.

p. s.

Now this a Breakfast/Brunch place that has it all! Beautiful brekki choices like French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Irish breakfast, Avocado and salmon... Don’t forget the excellent coffee and freshly squeezed juices! Nice interior design (Hommage to Harlem and NYC) and a lovely staff make this the place of choice for a good start in Belfast! Highly recommended!

R. D.

The food is great, the chips are excellent. But the service here is more like a robot. Maybe they gradually trying to make us get used to the robot service.

G.

Opening hours are wrong. Opens at 9am, not 8am. Apparently it costs money to change it online so they've not done it yet (not sure how but there you go)... Food fairly good. Coffee just OK. 3.5 stars.

R. F. G.

This place is amazing...great find in Belfast. Coffee great. Good food. place was packed. real cafe vibe like I'm used to at home..one waitress in particular was amazing with the way she served people and made everyone feel welcome.

M. N.

Walked in off Street and had a great dining experience. Steak was amazing...service exceptional. Well please...

C. S.

Amazing food. Average breakfast options. Service was very mediocre unfortunately. Good atmosphere but wouldn’t rush back for breakfast.

M. G.

Such a lovely café, the artwork brings and lighting brings a very nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly!The vegetarian breakfast was delicious

S. D.

Nice food! Good experience! I really like the teapot. Want to have one in my home. 😀

M. L.

What a place, it's very popular and we had to queue for about 15 minutes to get in to sit at a table. Good food and friendly staff.

T. S.

Visited for breakfast when arrived in Belfast and glad we did. Food was fantastic as was the staff. Cool decor.

J. T.

Could be better by improving customer service, quality of drinks. The food was as expected, with good quality ingredients used for meats and for vegetables apparent. However an overall lack of finesse in the delivery to end client in a muddled environment led to an experience which could have been much better. Service charge for parties of three or more is reasonable, but only in environments where exceptional service is delivered and contributes to the overall experience. The overall vision of Harlem is “muddy”, the food does not reconcile to its environment, the service does not reconcile to its cost and its name doesn’t reconcile to Harlem.

J.

Loved! Pretty good service too. Tried the avo on sourdough and an oat latte. Going back tomorrow. Decor is on point!!

L. O.

Great place, amazing food, and lovely staff! Place is usually busy, so I’d advise booking a table or getting there early.

D. W.

The coffee and food were good, but the woman running the front was in a miserable mood. Wouldn't go back nor recommend anyone I know there. Deane's, just a few steps down the same road, has incredibly pleasant service and better food, iho.

D. W.

The food was top quality and the service was nothing short of excellent. The servers were polite, enthusiastic and attentive. We had a lovely chat with one of the servers and she gave us some good things to do while we were in Belfast for the day. We're from London and the food absolutely holds up against somewhere like the breakfast club or any other popular brunch places.

j. f.

The setting of Harlem is stunning. Very easy to walk past Harlem but definitely worth a visit.

S. O.

Quirky and unusual decor. Staff were pleasant. Breakfast was tasty.

S. R.

The best thing about this place is the decor. Me and my friends thought the food was just average some of them didn't actually like or finish their food. Very expensive and I wouldn't recommend or go back here

G. R.

We had a bit of a wait to get seated, but the food was so good it was worth it.

A. N. G.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food. Glad we chose to have breakfast here instead of in the hotel!

K.

There was a long queue on a Sunday afternoon but it moved pretty fast. Had the sourdough french toast with bacon. It was lovely. Would return.

s. o.

Everything was great. Cocktails and food were amazing and the decor is so cool.

G.

Delicious food and a very comfy & cozy atmosphere. We felt right at home. Coffee was excellent too!

N. H.

Wow, what an amazing place. Loads of character staff very friendly, food excellent. Music was a little loud and we had to ask to turn it down a little bit other than that highly recommended.

P. N.

Great breakfast and great surroundings, either arrive early or be prepared to queue for a long time

M. H.

First time here and just happened to find it by chance as we were looking for lunch near our hotel. Gorgeous place with welcoming vibe. Salad was delicious, sour dough fantastic. Will definitely be back ☺️

D. S.

Friendly and efficient staff, great breakfast.

j. g.

What a breakfast! I've never seen a sausage so big, the most exquisite black pudding, egg done to perfection, bacon, not too smokey, not too salty, paired with mushrooms, baked beans, soda bread and potato farl, oh, and the all important Bloody Mary, what a treat, the perfect way to start the day 😋

M. A. M.

The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Everything we tried here we're delicious. And the place is tastefully decorated. Even the loos were stylish.

j. b.

Great brunch venue. Busy but not too long of a wait. We booked for Sunday. 10% for 4+ people.

L. H.

Such a special place with a great menu and range of cakes etc. We really enjoyed whiling away a couple of hours here. Though it's quite loud and not that cosy, better for a group brunch than hiding reading in a corner.

C. W.

Loved it! Felt at Home - great food&Drinks, great service, great atmosphere, great music

M. K.

Really good all day breakfast and lovely tea! Love this place!

R. C.

I love this cafe: it is so quirky, really unusual! Great atmosphere. Lovely helpful and attentive staff. I had pancakes and they tasted OK. There wasn't a lot of chocolate sauce with them so they were quite dry. My friends had a cooked breakfast and really enjoyed theirs. Will definitely go back. 😊

T. H.

Very nice decor and interesting menu is held back by slow service and staff who do not wear face coverings.

H. W.

Great spot for breakfast. Great atmosphere and very pleasant, attentive staff. 👍🏼💕

S. N. B.

This was our favourite place in Belfast. So so pretty with a gorgeous deli and some delicious brunch. Lovely juices and the coffee was delish. No negatives!

M. N.

Lovely atmosphere, the food is very good. Reservations are recommended

A. C.

A very quirky interesting place with a great choice of freshly prepared dishes and salads. We had a meat and a cheese board which were delicious.

S. D.

Fantastic visit yet again, great relaxed atmosphere and fantastic food and service.

E. R.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday lunch here with my sister. Good variety in the menu...I had crab salad with bread with a couple of glasses if white wine. Very busy but the staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome.. would definitely go back💕

e. h.

Beautiful decor, wonderful setting. Food is a little pricey for the portion size but good quality - lovely brunch menu. Find the owner a little OTT, not to everyone’s taste.

S. O.

Amazing 👏

s. s.

Lovely food and quick, friendly service

J. W.

Really nice place, good food and a nice ambience, met the owner as well who was lovely :)

C. G.

Great place, even the music playlist is cosy with style + they take good care of allergies

B. O.

Tasty food but pricey. The atmosphere makes it a lovely treat though.

A. M.

Great service and love the atmosphere, food was super will definitely be back..

C. L.

Really good breakfast on a Sunday morning. Despite it being absolutely packed, the service was really good. Get there early or you will be join the queue out of the front door.

T. C.

Lovely night and beautiful food! Thank you!

L. S.

We had our wedding dinner in this amazing restaurant, it was fantastic and Faye is amazing! The personal touches make it truly a wonderful experience and the food is great. I encourage everyone to try the fantastic restaurant!

S. M.

What a fantastic little brunch spot in Belfast! Beautiful food and coffee and great service. Attention to detail is spot on, even down to the free hairspray and hygeine products in the ladies toilets. Would definitely recommend.

M. C.

Worth the hype. Coffee could be better but overall a memorable experience.

L. C.

Second time eating here, love the cafe its self and the style of it. Food is amazing, coffee was great and staff were friendly. A bit on the expensive side, but wouldnt stop me going back at all.

H. P.

Simply love it Ambiance was beautiful Staff was so good Food was amazing

K. B.

Very unique! We went for a quick lunch, for which it wasn't entirely appropriate, but it would be perfect for a dinner. The food was delicious and the atmosphere a bit different. Only downsides were that the windows were all covered so I felt a bit claustrophobic, and the four of us being put on a table for eight which made it quite difficult to chat...

P. D.

It’s October but the berries and muesli were insanely fresh and flavourful. Piping hot tea, fun and outrageous decor. Worth the wait for breakfast.

J. T.

A nice atmosphere and good prices with good hearty portions

G. W.

Went for breakfast - Decor is lovely and the food was good, but the service was poor and took a long time to be served. Also charged 10% service charge as we had a table of 4.

N. P.

A cozy place to have a coffee or a breakfast. Nice portions and very kind staff.

B. W.

Loved it. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Will be back

D. W.

Great coffee and a decent ulster fry. And it was open (and busy) on a Sunday morning. More than can be said for most places round there.

S. D.

A really lovely place the Decors something different n really lovely. The staff a really nice n friendly n made sure we were well looked after. It was really busy but it's easy to see why. The food was lovely also.

J. M.

Lovely place quite expensive but nice for a treat.

E. B.

Nice restaurant with great atmosphere. Food is good quality at a reasonable price.

K. W.

Visited 2 mornings in a row, and would have been 3 days only they were closed early (due to Sell out?) Be prepared to queue for a table. The food is worth the wait. Funky vibes, vibrant decor, good music. Would great for a boozy brunch, or just some tasty food.

N. M.

Breakfast cocktails is a great idea to start the day as you mean to go on .. Had a bloody Mary with sour doh avocado smoked salmon and poached eggs. Was excellent. Lovely staff.

D. C.

Lovely interior, friendly staff, tasty food and good coffee in a city centre location - what more could you ask for!

H. A. E. A.

So lovely cafe with amazing decorations. Cakes are delicious.

J. H.

First time in Harlem. Excellent service, great menu choices. Staff service and attention to detail was appreciated

A. N.

In a word ‘fabulous’ wonderful place to meet for coffee or Lunch… great atmosphere and ambiance staff very efficient and attentive… menu is varied goofed to perfection and presentation perfect! On the gown side no WiFi. But at least there’s no one sitting glued to their phones!

J. K.

Best breakfast I've ever had in a really quirky building.

P. D.

Good food. Friendly staff

S. P. P.

Really funky place with friendly helpful staff and a great range of food including #vegan #vegetarian

S. F.

Excellent all round, brilliant for the wedding I attended.

M. D.

Very beautiful place with the very nice staff ! The food was amazing, we had an Irish breakfast and the croque madame which was delightful! The atmosphere is very nice and our dog even got a little sausage given by the owner ! We loved our time there !

E. M.

It's been ages since I was in harlem but it was back to It's best today. Had a nice piece of toasted sourdough twas very tasty 😋

A. M.

Stopped here for a very much needed breakfast. Good quick, service and a beautifully decorated place. Thank you!

R. S.

I stumbled into the cafe to kill time before a concert and ended having one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time. It was delicious. I’ll definitely be back.

K. G.

Good food. Service a little slow and could have been friendlier. Maybe last night's partying was showing its toll. Would go back for another visit without a doubt.

R. E.

Called in for breakfast as the hotel was not doing buffet breakfasts. What an amazing place. The décor is brilliantly done and the food, the food was simply brilliant. Best breakfast I've probably had in a long long time. If your in Belfast, you'd be daft not to visit.

E. G.

The Food is decent, fairly priced, and surroundings are nice. The Service is very poor and slow. Waited over 45 mins for food after which it arrived and we were told by a rude waiter that he needed the table, despite the delay in Food being outside of our control and didn't give us the bill, which we had to get off another waitor. Bit offputting, will try a more friendly place next time.

T. S.

Great atmosphere with jazz music playing in the background...I'm not even a jazz listener but it sets the mood. Food is incredible!!

j. h.

When in Belfast this is my favourite place for brunch - wish my stomach was bigger to have an afternoon tea too!

R. D.

Bit of a wait to get seated and the cafe did not answer their phone to ask about booking a table but once seated staff were very attentive, food arrived quickly and was excellent. Really nice atmosphere and would highly recommend.

J. W.

Delicious breakfast menu in a creative and inspired environment. The service was quite inattentive otherwise would be five stars!

C. H. (.

Love this place best breakfast/ brunch in belfast

A. R.

Had breakfast, was ok. Shabby chic decor but overpriced

M. B.

Food was delicious, worth the wait but the service could have been better. Just slow, maybe just very busy!! I really enjoyed our visit and will call again but when I order a refill of coffee, I don't expect to be nearly finished my breakfast before it arrives. I really don't mean this to sound mean because the food, decor and sound track were lovely. I just want to give an honest review. If you are in a hurry, this may not be the place to eat! But you want a really delicious breakfast, in a beautiful building, get in chill out and enjoy the experience. Go for it. Thanks

We are staying in Grand Central and noticed this quirky little place across the road. Its very busy and we had to wait a few minutes to be seated but the food was lovely. The lady who served us was lovely and friendly. She made us feel welcome and was bright and cheery. (the lady I questioned about the tea could learn a thing or two from her). All and all, worth the visit for a healthy, tasty breakfast thats fast and welcoming.

A. B.

It was packed. Didn't have to wait long though for a table. I was on my own and didn't stay due to my anxiety. Food did look nice when I peeked at the other tables.

M. C.

Breakfast was unbelievably good. It was Halloween the 1st morning we went here and the staff were in great form. Food was served promptly and it was very tasty especially the sausages. 2nd morning I had the red velvet pancakes and they were such a treat! Love the decor of this quirky cafe too. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Belfast.

F. C.

Booked ahead for a large group for lunch. Place was busy but service was great and fast. I had a full fry and a Belfast Blonde beer and both were fantastic.

B. F.

Very tasty, but £9 for two small pancakes and 2 slices of bacon cannot be considered value for money, they call it a "giant stack"...bit misleading

A. C.

This is a must to go coffee place! The decor is full of art and so peculiar! Staff was very friendly! I ordered the Christmas Bruschetta and it was delicious! Full of flavor and service was very quick! If I ever go back to Belfast I definitely will visit this place again!

J. N.

Tasty food, lovely staff, brilliant atmosphere! Highly recommended!

M. M.

Really nice place for breakfast and brunch, especially on a lazy Saturday or Sunday. Great selection of tasty food for a range of dietary choices. The interior of the cafe is great and has a really nice homely feel perfect for catch ups or first dates.

D. W.

Guys this place is a must. The food is amazing. The staff are great at the place is stunning. I will be returning without a doubt.

C. H.

Great breakfast. Lovely atmosphere.

s. w.

Great Irish breakfast, fast and polite service. Quirky surroundings of vintage furniture and art.

J. L.

Lovely food at Harlem and the service was good and the staff were friendly. However, I do find Harlem quite overpriced for what you get. In saying that I enjoy the vibe of the Cafe and it is a nice place to chill out for lunch in the afternoon.

J. H.

Must have been an off day here when I went, was waiting an hour for breakfast, extremely busybut good staff and OK service

J. G.

Lovely setting great food and helpful staff will visit again

j. m.

best place for breakfast in city centre. interesting decor, busy vibe cafe. good selection for breakfast. booking recommended

D. H.

I visit Harlem fairly regularly. The staff are friendly and helpful and the style and ambience of the place continually brings me back. However, unfortunately on most occasions I have been left disappointed in the food. I get a fry, which is so bread heavy I take several items off it. On the last visit the bacon was more or less inedible and even the grilled tomato was not good. Add to this the cost (£40 for 2 cooked breakfasts, 4 coffees and 2 teas) I think it's time for a new venue.

M. C.

Not the first time I've eaten in the Harlem Cafe and definitely won't be the last. I love the food here, the menu is mixed and varied, with plenty of healthy choices, always a must for me, twinned with firm favourites for those preferring an Ulster fry or burgers. I had a super food salad, delicious to the core, with spectacular service to match.

A. K.

Incredible veggie breakfast in a really pretty setting.

P. D.

Best breakfast in Belfast ! Fabulous coffee and great service. How have I not been here before?

A. D.

Great atmosphere, excellent service and fantastic food.

K. H.

We visited here early Monday morning as we stayed in Belfast the weekend. We were wow'd by the decor as soon as the doors opened. Such a beautiful and unique cafe with lots of eye catching ornaments and pictures. We both ordered the Irish breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. The food was delicious, fresh and of a very high standard. You could tell they cooked using high quality ingredients. The staff were also so friendly and lovely. The place soon started filling up with customers and I can really understand why after tasting my breakfast. Recommend this cafe to all locals and tourists. Next time we come to Belfast we will be dining here again.

C. W.

Amazing service, really went the extra mile at a recent function attended in the restaurant. A wonderful setting with and eclectic mix of decor which really adds to the atmosphere. The food section was brilliant, and the taste and flavours were amazing. A great spot in Belfast City Centre and one to try if you are visiting.

M. B.

Ate here a couple of times during my visit to Belfast. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The food was good too. Very tasty and fresh, eggs cooked as requested. Red velvet pancakes were a delights, but I do love a cooked banana.

A. M.

We managed to go here twice in a 4 day visit to Belfast. First brunch on a Saturday which was very busy but the staff still found time to chat and the food and drinks were excellent. On Monday it was calmer and the coffees and food were of the same high quality. Recommended.

A. B.

I've been a great fan of Harlem for many years but on this occasion we left a tad underwhelmed. We were there for dinner in the days leading up to Christmas. As always the aesthetics were amazing and the place had a great vibe. The food however was not the usual standard. 3 of us opted for the Turkey dinner option with the remaining person taking a different dish. The food was lukewarm. The actual Turkey had been prepared in a roulade style. The taste from the stuffing was overpowering. They were not especially busy as we dined early but no one came to check if the food was ok or if we needed anything further. Hopefully this was a blip experience as Harlem is a great restaurant.

J. J.

Bloody brilliant. Great experience on a visit to Belfast. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff. Recommended 100%

S. K.

Top place for breakfast, excellent service, seated quickly despite being quite busy, food was really tasty and served hot, fair pricing and the owner was so friendly and nice. Very unique decor and plenty of comfortable seating, Would highly recommend eating here. It's an experience not to be missed.

A. M.

Great food. We've been here for breakfast and lunch quite a few times. I advise booking or you could have to wait on a table. Good is excellent Amazing atmosphere here. Quirky but beautiful. Love it!

E. B.

Love love love this cafe. The food is gorgeous and the decor is very unique for Belfast. Had their veggie ulster fry and was delighted to see they make their own potato break, Soda and pancakes. Very tasty, good service and cosy atmosphere. Worth a visit.

D. H.

Hosted a Baby Shower here with afternoon tea and it couldn't have been more perfect. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Everyone was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Couldn't thank them all enough. A great day was had.

C. T.

Fantastic food and setting! We were only in Belfast for a few days but came back each day as it was so good! Staff were lovely and super obliging, we'll definitely be making a trip back 😊

J. R.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very fun. We were in Belfast near Christmas and stopped here twice for breakfast before exploring downtown. It was in a great location near the local Christmas market and lots of downtown shopping. The Christmas decorations as an addition to the eclectic usual decor was even more quirky than I expected but I loved it. The place was warm and cozy. It was quite busy but the servers were kind and made sure that we had what we needed. They are gluten-free friendly and are willing to answer questions. If the server doesn't know they make sure with the kitchen to ensure that you're eating a safe meal. The food was delicious. My husband had the full Irish twice, I had the gluten free french toast once and the next time I had an Irish breakfast with some gluten free substitutions. We were both happy with the food and the service and would gladly recommend it to anyone headed to Belfast looking for a hearty breakfast and a fun atmosphere.

H. m.

Oh my.. This is a must go and try, first the greeting of the staff was exceptional, great hospitality,.. Secondly a great atmosphere, unique quirky individual decor.. Then came the food.. Wowzers.. I had the best soup and sandwich EVER.. fantastic ingredients in the flavoursome soup with beautiful sourdough bread and a for starters, then came the sanswich, ipted for, bacon brie & cranberry,.. It was madecagain with the most beautifully flavoursome bread, and garnished with the most alaboratesalad, the salad as a side itd3 of sauv blanc

A.

Long waiting outside for the table was worth it! They serve vegan full English breakfast which I had and was delicious to the last detail 🌱💛 highly recommended!

M. C.

We had the most deeeelicious breakfast here this morning.. Wonderful vegan breakfast.. Staff were very helpful and friendly, beautiful decor also. 🙏

H. H.

Foods lovely! Coffee is great! Staff are super helpful and pleasant and the setting is beautiful. My only suggestion would be to serve the tea in different pots or get them professionally cleaned as the taste is somewhat...steely or coppery for want of a better word.

S. G.

Croque madame was very good! Really enjoyed the ambiance as well.

D. F.

Great Cafe. Funky decor. Great service!

C. F.

Came here for breakfast at 8am before joining a Game of Thrones tour. The interior decoration is beautifully done and instagram worthy. I ordered the veggie breakfast which was very delicious and quite filling, at a very reasonable price. There was a mix of regulars (dressed in suits) and visitors that came for breakfast. It wasn't busy at all by the time I left at 9am on a Monday morning. Note: you'll need to pay for your bill at the counter as they don't bring the check to your table. Would highly recommend dining here.

M. W.

Popped in for a spot of lunch, nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a fine choice of food.

H. F.

Great afternoon in the Harlem Cafe. Food was absolutely gorgeous but nothing compared to the outstanding service we received from the women working hard. Couldn't recommend it enough!

J. N.

We had a pretty good breakfast here. However tried to pay for nearly 10 minutes before someone paid us attention. I feel like they also sell themselves short when it comes to some fine details for example ketchup served in a McDonald's like paper container, mugs are very bland and they have paper decorations it's not in keeping with the rest of extravagance on display

R. l.

Great service. Staff very helpful. They were able to swap items to suit my friend who is vegan. The service was fast and the food was amazing. I had the smoked salmon. The cafe is decorated very well and has a cool feel about it. Its very central and close to many places and bars. 🥚🍳🍲🥗🍝🍻🥂

C. F.

Delicious breakfast - I had an omelette! There was quite a group of us and our tea was served in these amazing silver teapots! The one I used was like the Genie' s lamp in Aladdin! Would thoroughly recommend if you are looking for an Irish breakfast too which many of my colleagues enjoyed!

F. P. C.

Great atmosphere! The cafe is gorgeous! Somehow they combined a classic look with a modern one and it just looks amazing! The food was good great as well. I would definitely recommend it! ❤️

A. M.

Really nice place, felt very funky. Food was gorgeous. Service was a bit lacking though and we weren't even offered dessert or coffee. I thought it was a bit much that the service charge was added to our when we were only a small party.

G. M.

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Kind of our "go to" for lunch on a Saturday or brunch on a Sunday. Do a good range of salads, baked items and desserts. Licenced with decent gluten free options. The burger is one of the best I've tasted. Keep it up!

M. B.

Booked in advance to Harlem Cafe for Sunday brunch as we have bee before and we’re looking forward to getting back - a little treat and a moment to chill before the excitement of the School Choir of the year next door in the Ulster Hall. We were brought straight in past the waiting queue and directly to our prepared table - super service and organisation. Staff were friendly-ish, but brusque. Not much engagement to be honest, yes it is busy, but in Belfast people hope for a little craic and there was none. The food was good generally, quality ingredients, but of the four dishes we had, the eggs were overdone, as was the salmon, and extra salty too... Giving it four stars, but the service really should have made it three.

K. C.

Friendly and relaxing place with great staff and great food.

J. E.

Great wee place very popular had to queue at breakfast time NUTS!! But well worth the wait.

N. M.

Nice and cozy restaurant with good food and great coffee at a reasonable price!

G. L.

One of my favourite places in Belfast. Always packed to the rafters for a reason. Excellent food, great drinks and one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever dined in. Their service is so personable and nothing is ever too much, they always exceed expectations. Keep it up Harlem!

D. S.

Went there for lunch one day and for breakfast the day after. It was really busy in the morning but service was excellent, food was lovely and the presentation was great.

E. A.

Quirky place with good atmosphere, had to wait beside an empty tall table but they explained they thought the child would want a different table, of course she wanted the high one so we got seated at it eventually. Food was fab, prosecco was chilled and place was packed but cosy, I will definitely make a return visit soon

B. G.

Was just attending a wedding reception and this venue is fantastic. Ambience created by owner lady was impeccable, service 2nd to none, brother at the bar great. Highly recommended on all fronts. Chef's food was simply delicious.

C. C.

Very unique and nice stop, does great food...but can be a victim of its own success. It can get brutally busy in there with all the meetings from local offices. So can be hard to get a seat and service can be a little slow. In saying this-still good to go. Good food and drinks.

b. m.

If I could give 10 stars I most definitely would. Everything about cafe Harlem is just amazing... The decor, ambience, staff, service and of course the food. Breakfast, lunch and bistro nights are all just fantastic. Just last night, Faye and her staff hosted my retirement party. As usual, service food and friendliness were first class. I would most definitely recommend Cafe Harlem for casual dining, dining with friends, parties and functions.

V. D.

Amazing atmoshpere , great food. Well worth the wait.

M. d. M.

Fancy place, not the biggest Portions, many vegan dishes

R. J.

We went for dinner, it was lovely food and great atmosphere, the beer battered scampi was great and the halloumi starter was the best I've had. Thanks for a lovely meal.

S. M.

Exactly what we needed to set us up for the day, we were having brunch before our paddys day parade and drinking began. The food was good, the service was great, we had a central table. It was a bit cosy between the tables, but not really a problem as everyone was so friendly. The soda bread in the full fry was a bit greasy, but I won't hold it against them as everything else was cooked well. Definite recommendation for friends / families

ज. क. N.

Great food with great staffs and very reasonable prices. Food portion was big, we couldn't finish our breakfast. You might have to wait outside and it's cold. The hot chocolate with Baileys was my favorite.

D. R.

Very quirky cafe. Good food, I had pie of the day which was chicken and spinach. Decent sized portions. Homemade cakes for afterwards. Slightly slow service, but this was lunchtime and the place was busy. Definitely worth a try.

H. R.

Very accommodating, I booked a table for lunch for 17 hens, they allowed us to decorate the area and to pre-order. They were very flexible and the service was great. The food was also delicious, I would highly recommend this cafe!

J. M.

we come here every year for breakfast, i looks small but the taste is BIG, staff are lovely, helpful and welcoming, if your in a group i would try book first as this place is always buzzing with people coming to eat. its a five star dining experince. well done to the owner and there staff.

Z. N.

An absolute gem of an eaterie in Belfast. Wonderful decor and super food quality. Excellent table service with lovely friendly staff. The meat board we had was filled with a great selection of meat and tasty breads and accompinents. The stew is first class with large pieces of beautifully prepared beef. Highly recommended. Love and respect. 🕉🕉🕉

K. K.

Extremely busy cafe in the centre of Belfast. Ate here with 2 friends and we were very impressed with the food and the coffee. The staff are friendly but as it's so busy you might have to wait a little if you don't have a reservation but it's certainly worth the wait.

T. T.

Excellent food. Had two lovely breakfasts here, sough dough toast and fresh fruit.

J. T.

Great breakfast!Staff is lovely and helpful

M. W.

Service was excellent, friendly staff, great food, lovely place!

S. H.

A wonderful experience all in all and an establishment I've recommended to many a friend and acquaintances. A fabulous décor and accomodating staff embue a very relaxed ambiance. The food is simply top notch without being overly pretentious and reasonably priced for what you get. One little gripe would be not having steak available at 7:30pm on a Saturday evening. First world problem really. Harlem puts things in perspective.

P. W.

Booked a table for 12 noon on Saturday which was just as well because it was pleasantly busy. It was our first time there , based on a recommendation. Lovely setting, good ambience, service was good , food was tasty. Fully intend to visit Harlem Cafe again.

B. H.

Lovely atmosphere and food but the coffee is a bit intense for me and you always have to wait ages to be seated. Understandable when so busy but nice to be acknowledged and let know of timings etc rather than be left loitering for so long!

M. W.

Eclectic interior, great coffee, good Irish breakfast: not so much you're stuffed all day, but plenty of variety to satisfy an exploring palette. Coffee and food came quickly, though service was laid back: not in a hurry, but maybe no bad thing on a Sunday morning.

M. M.

Just had a tasty and filling lunch. Great choice on menu and good value. Service was very good in spite of how busy it was. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

A. S.

Very friendly efficient yet relaxed staff. Nice enviroment which is well decorated. Food was good and perfect sized portions. Perfectly happy to edit my order too with no problem - dont like black pudding! Easy to pay and service was surprisingly fast.

D. T.

First time there with family and so impressed. I have already shared this with several of my Friends and they definitely will be visiting. Food lovely and service great. Hope to be back soon.

S. K.

Beautiful little gem of a cafe. Had some American relatives over and of course not knowing Belfast picked a random cafe and did not regret it. Service was quick friendly and without fault breakfast menu was not limited and has beautiful decor. Down to earth staff

D. S.

A quirky cafe which was open when we needed breakfast early on a Sunday in Belfast (not easy to find). Staff were friendly and efficient and the food was very good. Would definitely go back.

K. T.

Really nice place, loved the decor. Food was amazing and service was really friendly and quick!

J. A.

Loved Harlem Cafe. Staff are so naturally lovely and food is delicious, esp the summer meat plater and today it was a delicious carrot and ginger soup. Thanks

n. b.

Have been many times before, but service has gone a bit downhill!! Waiting a good 30minutes on food then when it did arrive there was no chicken in the chicken curry!!

D. R.

A very filling very tasty breakfast. I had the vegetarian, loved all the carbs! I imagine this carb fest would be excellent for a hang over! Also had a nice coffee and orange juice. All very good. Nice décor though slightly uncomfortable to sit on. The staff were friendly though could perhaps do with a few extra on weekends; it wasn't full but we had to wait a little while. We were not in a rush so this wasn't a problem.

P. K.

We asked for Granola and yogurt to start, it was very odd, we had a massive bowl of pre packed granola and a small time bowl of yogurt, then was charged £1 for honey.. very odd. Now onto the breakfast, this was very very good, local produce, very nice indeed. Great vibrant place, but guys please sort out the granola.. it was very odd to have such a massive bowl -

R. M.

One of the most atmospheric restaurants in Belfast with beautiful decor. Food is excellent and they do amazing cocktails Really worth a try for those who have never been and for those who have been you are probably like us with repeat visits.

A. P.

More Soho than Harlem, and more like a bar than a cafe!! Either way, Harlem Cafe on Bedford Street, Belfast, right beside the Ulster Theatre, is amazing! On a chilly Saturday afternoon in Belfast, I decided to pay a visit-for the first time! Warmly welcomed at the door - by what seemed to be a blonde godness (denifinely Soho-style) and with mid-October Haloween decor - and in the sound of Bill Withers, Lean On Me - I was for a split second back in Downdown Manhattan!😯 To start with, I had a large cup of Americano, which was good, but with ... room to catch up other top gourmet cafes in Belfast. But Harlem Cafe seems to be a lot more than a cafe and, in my opinion, it scores 10/10 for its jazzy atmosphere and art decor surroundings. Behind the bar, wooden racks that resemble an antique-style library, bear a selection of spirits, wines and local craft beers. The entire space is deeped in western antique and art and New York early 1900s. The dishes that came out competed with each other in presentation, as well as in size. S The staff were helpful and kind. I had a bowl of mushroom soup and a toasted tuna wrap with red onions and cheddar cheese. Second to none. A queue of people waiting patiently to get a table was a sound proof that Harlem Cafe scores high in other people's reviews too. Thankfully the wait isn't long and it is 100% worth it!

S. H.

Such a lovely quaint cafe. The food was lovely, I had a breakfast omelette and it was delicious. Also tea is served in a good sized teapot which I always like as allows me to top up my tea. Will be back for sure.

L. M.

Great classic cocktails, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant has a relaxed, upbeat vibe. Will definitely go again

J. F.

My favorite brunch place in Belfast! Super nice staff, great vibes and atmosphere! Food is delicious! Just be mindful you might need to queue ;)

A. R.

Bangin breakfast, 10/10. Coffee was creamy and delicious, food tasty and fresh, service fast and friendly, and atmosphere was lively.

M. D.

Great, the owner (The lady with two Children in Dublin & London) was very pleasant to my wife Imelda. The other staff (one lady from Ballycastle) was very Pleasant & chatty. You have a truly beautiful place and a warm and friendly personality to match... - a winning formala. God Bless

A. C.

Good food, breakfast menu is better than lunch menu

E. D.

The place is lovely, food very good ,staff not so good they left us standing for more then 5 mins when there was empty tables and did the same with people who came after us. In my view over rated

I. F.

We were here with our 3 young kids on a rainy day for afternoon tea. We were welcomed so friendly and the staff really looked after us, even so the kids were not at their best behavior!! Great food and drinks!! Totally recommend it!!

C. L.

Was here ages ago, but remember it as the best breakfast I had over 3 weeks going all over Ireland and Scotland. Best black pudding by far, been craving it for 2 years! What is the brand, I need to find it!!!???

K. H.

Found the place too dark and the teapot we were served tea in looked filthy. Candle wax stuck to the full length of the candle holder. Food was decent but not in my opinion matvhing the price. Staff very pleasent.

k. k.

Quirky, unusual place. Interesting decor. Good coffee and massive slices of cake. :-) Nice staff.

Superb food and quirky decor, definitely something different from the norm! Great range of drinks available especially local ales. Staff are also very friendly.

D. P.

Lovely vegan breakfast. Decent veggie sausages with mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, toast and avocado.

C. S.

Great service and ambiance. Love the decorations.

R. D.

Considering the price I was fairly disappointed by the food here. It wasn't an awful breakfast but I also really didn't feel like the quality lived up to my expectations. Cheap sausages and the rest of the breakfast was also a bit bland. It's a nice eccentric room though and the service was good so it was just let down by the food.

A. B.

Great breakfast amazing environment

C.

We had an irish breakfast and eggs royale. Food is greatly cooked and service is very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend it. Prices are a bit above average.

a. r.

Love this quirky place! Food and staff both excellent. Can't wait for this crazy time to be over so that we can go back.

d. g.

Nice atmosphere and great service. Lovely range of salads and sandwiches, great spot for lunch.

L. H.

Nice cafe with lovely décor. The service we received was average/poor. The food was tasty but at £9 for a small omlette it felt overpriced. No issues with the quality of the food but the service and value for money are a little lacking.

C. F.

Best breakfast in Belfast ,wonderful staff and great ambience What a find ,we will be back .

Very cool place on the inside and out, just super unique. Had my first full Irish breakfast, was pretty good!

Amazing decor and food was lovely, 4 stars only because we were waiting quite a while for our order to be taken... I thought maybe we had been forgotten

Funky little cafe with take away or eat-in options. Coffee bar at front of cafe and pastries at the bar in the back for take away. Seating throughout for dining in. Pastries (croissants, scones, etc.) and coffee are great.
