On our first morning here in Belfast, we made a quick stop at this cute coffee shop. Non pretentious, family run, very efficient. They have tables outside and inside. But who’s going to sit outside in freezing temp? We had latte with extra shot, granola, and poached eggs in toasts. Perfect cup of coffee on this icy cold morning! And the toast! Beautifully presented, with mashed avocado, poached eggs, tomato, mushrooms and arugula. I guess I will not need to have lunch today

Just down the street from the Europa hotel is this small cafe. Food was great, the French toast was thick and flavorful. The BAP was very good , the bread was light and fresh all for under $20. Very limited seating indoor and outdoor, but worth a try.

Found this little gem when we arrived in Belfast for our very first EDT. Would definitely recommend. I had the French toast and my mate had the Yoghurt and Granola both perfect.
