HARLEM CAFE REVIEWS

Harlem Cafe is very impressive in its decor, from the tables to the paintings, everything is just wow. It honestly feels like you have stepped back in time! The food is quite generous in its portions (which is a good thing!). I had the Bacon & Brie omelette, which comes with 2 slices of sourdough bread, butter, and a mini rocket salad. I made the mistake of also ordering a sausage with my omelette, but it was way too much food. The omelette was really tasty, and so were the sausage, the bread,and the coffee. I definitely recommend Harlem Cafe. However, the queue to get in the cafe gets quite long, so make sure you go at a good time!

Such a cute cafe! Chill music creates a cozy & groovy atmosphere. I had the bacon & brie omelette and fresh squeezed oj — was delicious and great portion. Service was great and they all worked together to make things run smoothly and quickly as it was a busy Sunday morning.

The Harlem Cafe is the perfect breakfast or lunch spot in downtown Belfast, located just a couple blocks from the City Hall, and nearby to the city centre. There is indoor and outdoor dining, with rustic seating and many pieces of art hanging on the walls. The service is friendly, helpful, and attentive. During this visit, I enjoyed the toasted sourdough with smoked salmon and fried eggs. It was plenty and they give you a bountiful serving of the smoked salmon. I also enjoyed a double espresso with the meal.

MAGGIE MAYS BELFAST CAFE REVIEWS

Fair prices and excellent service. The location is great. After your meal you can go for a nice stroll at the botanical gardens or the Ulster museum (free). They only take cash, if you only have euros, you can exchange your money at the post office right in front. The food was excellent and the service was quick. The milkshakes are huge and the Irish breakfast was super tasty. Really recommend. Bring cash! Full vegetarian menu available!

If you're in belfast you have to go to maggie mays for lunch, they have 3 locations with the nicest staff and best food. A wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and also gluten free food is provided. Definitely one of Belfast's most iconic cafes. They provide a range of food so there will definitely be something for everyone!

I honestly don’t have a bad thing to say about Maggie mays. It was my first time visiting today and it was amazing. Spectacular food with friendly staff and quick service. Honestly shocked at the portion sizes we just couldn’t finish everything. The price for what we got was so good.

ESTABLISHED COFFEE REVIEWS

Great place for brunch and one of the best places in Belfast for decent coffee. The staff are really nice and happy to explain the different coffee selections.

Excellent service, very professional. Healthy choices and REALLY good butterscotch coffee! Food was filling, even the simple poach and toast with no extras, well priced. Definitely loud here when there are kids, and lots of chatter but you can use noise cancelling headphones and sit at their really large center table with your laptop and many plugs to work away.

Really solid coffee right near the centre of the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast City Centre. Seems to be popular with runners and is open early doors on a Sunday morning. Good service, with plenty of options and lots of seating in case you wanted to chill, making for an enjoyable atmosphere.
