"I went in for a full cooked breakfast and it was amazing for £11.50. All cooked to perfection and presented well. It was so good I went back at lunchtime for a Meateater Wrap containing bacon, chicken, ham, chorizo, salami, pastrami with spicy mayo for £7.50. The café is a good size and would take a small group of friends, clean and very friendly. 5 stars."

"Lovely little cafe which we would have overseen had it not been for the good reviews here. We dropped in just for a coffee and were tempted into trying one of their cakes which was delicious. Very friendly service and great coffee too"

"Definitely my favourite coffee shop when I go to town! A good selection of handmade cakes, freshly baked baps and pizza, and delicious genuine Hungarian soups, so if you are an eclectic type of person this is a real gem you can find in Belfast City Centre. Oh! I was about to forget about the coffee! If you find Joe, he is an artist coffee brewer!"
