Fantastic breakfast menu

*Update. On my last visit the wait time for a vegan sausage sandwich and pancakes was 50 minutes which is just unacceptable. They claimed it was because the order was vegan but everyone else eating meat at other tables also waited that long. The coffee was really weak and tea came in a very small pot. Its a shame its gone downhill so much😒

A great, traditional cafe in the heart of Belfast. Great service, prices and staff. The breakfast menu is incredible!!! So many options to choose from.

I had the Boston pancakes stack. There was so much food I couldn't finish. I wish I could go every weekend!

They also do lunch but close at 2pm.

Massive selection

Great choice of options. Got the pancakes and a sandwich, which were lovely. In a strange location, so wouldn't have found it naturally. Very quiet but underrated

Lots of vegan options!

Time escaped us from having our breakfast here, and I only had the opportunity to have a takeout coffee for a trip to Giant's Causeway, which was excellent.

The vegan options on the menu are expansive though and staff were very friendly.

Sooo many vegan treats, spoilt for choice!

Amazing restaurant, they have a vegan menu (see pics) the choice is extensive!
The food is so good. A great find in Belfast.
This is definitely a must visit for vegan food.

I had the biscoff pancakes with strawberries, marshmallows and ice cream.

Went back in 2023 for brunch, absolutely delicious, staff are so welcoming. The menu is massive, so much choice. B
Messaged on Facebook messenger to book as they said weekends can get busy ☺️


Went back in 2025 for vegan brekkie and biscoff pancakes on 2 separate occasions....sooo good as always!

Amazing vegan British breakfast and more!

I came here because of the extended vegan menu and I wasn't disappointed! Plenty of choice and the salty breakfast I had was worth It. Will come back to try the sweet ones as well!

Pros: Many options, Customizable, Cheap

Cons: Maybe not too flavourful

Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover

I can’t remember ever having been to a more unassuming place for vegan food than here. From the outside, it looks at best to a traditional greasy spoon wherein the very notion of plant-based cuisine would be laughable, but venture inside and you’ll find a menu packed with options and very amiable staff. There was so much choice in fact that I struggled to narrow it down to what I eventually settled on: a four seasons sandwich (with a few sides for good measure) and caramel milkshake. Both were fantastic, the former in particular impressed with its plentiful filling and great flavours. The only disappointment I faced here was the fact that they were out of the desserts that I wanted, but then again that’s all the more reason to go back.

Perfect place to have breakfast!

By chance we booked a tour on the other side of the street and we looked somewhere to eat before it. We've found here, and the vegan menu is huge, also with gluten free options! What made me sad is that they couldn't do any coffee at the time (dunno the reason). Ordered pancakes with chocolate sauce, banana and whipped cream (also wanted marshmallows, but they didn't have). My hubby ordered a bagel with sausage, salad, bacon and beans. Everything was delicious! Just wish I had more time to enjoy the breakfast, had to eat everything too fast due to the beginning of the tour. Would gladly come back when again in Belfast. Staff is nice and it is pretty cheap!

Pros: Very cheap, Lots of vegan options!

Great breakfast

We went here for breakfast twice whilst in Belfast for the weekend. They have plenty of vegan options. I had a Titanic vegan breakfast which was great. The staff were really nice too. Also tried one of the vegan cakes which was very good. Great place if you fancy a cooked breakfast.

Amazing Breakfast

I was recommended this place on my recent visit to Belfast and it was so good we went back the next day.
They have an extensive vegan breakfast and lunch menu, the full breakfast plates are a lovely treat and will keep you going for hours (if you can even finish it). Our food was delicious, the cafe was welcoming and I will definitely come back on my next visit!

Pros: Great choice, Welcoming staff, Generous portions

Pick and choose!

I LOVED this place so much, and I think it's very well suited for some neurodivergent people too. There are so many options to choose from, but you can almost customise everything. The flavours are simple, familiar and good, and most stuff is in its own small jars so it does not touch the other foods. The staff was lovely and made sure you felt welcome.

Pros: So so so many vegan options, Calm environment, Very welcoming staff

Muchísimas opciones veganas

Fuimos a desayunar y me sorprendió todas las opciones veganas que tenían tanto para comer como para beber. Yo opte por un porridge con bebida de avena y manzana asada con canela y chocolate que estaba delicioso.

Incredible Vegan Menu

I couldn't believe the number of vegan offerings in this cafe, heaven! I wish I could have tried every item on the menu, but I went for the pancakes with maple syrup, cinnamon apple and summer berries. It was fantastic, the pancakes were impressively fluffy and I left pleasantly stuffed. I love the chilled out, cafeteria vibe, and the staff are really friendly here. The prices are as low as you'll get in Belfast, it's a real gem.

Pros: LOADS of vegan options, Cheap, Fluffiest pancakes

Belfast find for a good vegan breaky

Wide range of options, thoughtfully put together & carefully separated from the veggie & meat offers.

Updated from previous review on 2022-10-19

Pros: Lots of vegan food options , Wide range of hot drinks too, Good prices & friendly service

Cons: Needs sprucing up , Smells of meat cooking was quite strong
