The 30 Best Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Belfast

“Beyond their regular menu lots of specials were on offer; quiche of the day, soup of the day, pie of the day, and sandwich of the day. I picked the day’s sandwich special, the Cajun chicken sandwich, which had tomatoes, rocket, chicken, the sauce, and good thick bread. It was excellent. We had some of their coffee and chocolate cake, and it was great. The place is very popular, but isn’t noisy. A band called The Bankhouse Robbers play live music here on Wednesday afternoons, while traditional musicians play Friday afternoons. It was a cold winter’s day outside but our table was toasty and warm. They have a great garden area with outside seating, for other times of the year. They’re in a 70s extension to the impressive former Northern Bank building of 1905. Service was very attentive and friendly.”

“Christmas lunch for 18 people! Delicious, prompt, hot and very generous servings. Really lovely desserts too. All looked so nicely presented as well as yummy. Congratulations and thank you to the chef and table staff on a great lunch for us!”

“Easy booking online and reminders etc Food was lovely you could tell it was authentic Thai and a nice atmosphere Myself and my wife enjoyedthe whole experience and I was impressed by the lady whom was running the whole show and not out to impress as the food does that for itself It was a Thursday evening so not as busy I'm sure of like a Friday or Saturday where she might need a hand ☺”

“As a regular visitor to this fabulous little gem, I cannot find fault in anyway. Menu - lots of tasty choices, good price Staff - attentive, friendly, professional Location - quirky, well decorated, vibrant One of the very few places in the city that’s properly dog friendly as opposed to “dog tolerant” If you haven’t tried here yet then I’d suggest getting some and giving it a go, but if you turn up at a busy time you may have a short wait ahead - but this is a good thing, would you rather go to a place with nobody in it - the place speaks for itself. Highly recommended”

“Ordered a birthday cake for an 80th birthday. It was delicious….. nice and light, not too sweet, with chocolate icing, and beautifully decorated. It looked and tasted absolutely amazing. Very professionally done and very good value.”

“Their vegetarian breakfast is fantastic, great value for money, staff are very friendly, highly recommended, just one drawback,it's so small that there is no toilet, or hand washing facilities for us customers”

“Delacys cafe is safe enough for you to go there alone and the staff is nice and kind and the price is very very very low and Delacys cafe is like a bakery and the stew is very very very good and yummy and the sausage rolls are very very very good and yummy even my frog loves the sausage rolls you can tell because he was eating one of the sausage rolls in our car in one of our photos and the scones are very very very good and yummy and the potatoes are very very very good and yummy and the value is great and Delacys cafe can only take cash”

“Called in recently for a coffee and a bundle. We enjoyed the brief visit and will call again.”

“One of the best brunch spots I’ve been to, I’ll definitely come back here whenever I’m in Belfast! We got the Breakfast Bun, peppermint hot chocolate and the Beans on toast, and they were all really good and the stuff was nice as well!”

“Lovely wee coffee shop for lunch, good selection of sandwiches and all day breakfast items. Would recommend”

“Absolutely beautiful food for such amazing prices the staff are the kindest souls and the frys are perfect!”

“Can never fault this place. Me and my partner go most weekends as it’s local to us but even when we try and switch it up and go somewhere new we always say should’ve just went to The Wee Cafe because nothing compares. Cannot beat their fry or their prices. Staff are always so pleasant and friendly. Love it.”

“Sisters and I called in today for my mums birthday..had a beautiful lunch and coffees ..the girls are friendly and attentive. .its also spotless ..lovely relaxing and chilled”

“Popped in here after getting lost in Glen Colin and served by the lovely Teresa. She even told us to get our dog a drink from the bowl which was nice. £23 for 2 adults to have a main and a drink is fantastic. Will definitely be back again.”

“Great coffee, looking forward to my next visit to Lisburn to make an excuse to make my return visit for a other coffee. With lent now over, I can try out some of the nice treats foods prepared on premise.”

“Renamed and a new owner I believe. Great tasting food and really friendly staff. Competitively priced and they accept cash and card. I have the French toast, bacon and maple syrup. I enjoyed it. Update to this review. Just had lunch today. Turkey and ham sandwich with sweat potato chips. Really good. Filling and tasty. Staff are really exceptional. So friendly. I wish I could keep this place a secret. Well done to everyone special thanks to Julie.”

“This charming cafe is a hidden gem! The menu offers a great variety of options to suit all tastes, and the food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel right at home. The cafe itself is spotless and cozy, with a comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxing breakfast or snack. We were in Belfast for six days and ended up coming back to this cafe for breakfast five times - that's the ultimate seal of approval! If you're a fan of a traditional Ulster fry, look no further - it's a 10/10 in our books. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Belfast, and we'd highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great breakfast experience.”

“Good space to get food supplies in large sales. The fresh fish init for me!”

“Exceptional I can’t believe this was our first time at this lovely bar/restaurant. It’s some h character and history all over the building with it being the oldest pub in Belfast. But aside from the venue itself the staff and food was absolutely amazing. Their beer garden is fantastic with lots for kids to play with also. We will definitely be back”

“Excellent cafe/ restaurant. Very popular and for good reason. Friendly staff. Scones are incredible. Food choice is varied and looks great too. Dog friendly. I love to pop in after a walk and sit outside. Great location by the lough and coastal path.”

“Absolutely brilliant. Yummy sandwiches. Best cocktail sausages ever. Fast and reliable. Thank you.”

“Rohith and Andy were absolutely smashing best service I’ve ever had from a place like this, Ice cream and frozen yogurt was amazing but their service was 10x better both deserve a pay rise”

“I’ve been coming here for years. The espresso and americanos are always spot on, the baristas are genuinely friendly, and the rotating selection of speciality beans from different origins keeps things interesting. A must-visit for coffee lovers.”

“Great wee spot for a beer. Best to go early to start your day time drinking. Lovely place to get chatting to people from all over the world. Molly was a great bartender. Good company. Tell Grace it was Annie Lennox!! My memory was awful!”
