Arc Cafe in Belfast

Beautiful peaceful and relaxed atmosphere Delicious home made fresh healthy food served by happy friendly staff. Free WIFI and free coffee warm up’s. Absolutely lovely. Highly recommend Very reasonably priced and affordable.👍🏻😃

We have been going to this cafe for a few years now and always get a great welcome. The food is always good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

A very friendly place to visit. Part of Orangefield Church. Good food and great service from the staff

As a regular at the Arc, I find it relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Enjoy coffee (free refills) scone, tray bake or light lunch. Good for families, children and older people--easy access. this is a church based cafe, so come in and find out more of what Orangefield is all about.

The Duck Wrap with side salad was ruined with loads of chopped cucumber. Kitchen staff please note NOT EVERYONE LIKES CUCUMBER! Would have been better to be asked when ordering if cucumber wanted. The Duck was microwaved within an inch of its life too. Inedible meal so had a scone .....tasteless and dried out obviously from previous day. I mentioned about the cucumber to the lady serving only response was that's how it's served.Couldn't have cared less.

We visit here on a regular basis and have always found the food to be very good and the staff are always cheerful and friendly. Another thing we like is that we can hear ourselves talk. So many cafes now are noisy and not friendly for anyone with a hearing problem. Keep up the good work.

I have been an occasional visitor to the Arc Café at Orangefield Presbyterian Church on Castlereagh Road over the years and have always enjoyed being there, and the food there as well. The Prawn Salad has been a favourite, and is still good, and the location and setting and service are all good

This is a small cafe within Castlereagh Church. Easy parking either at the door or at the roadside. Flat access from carpark right into the ground floor coffee shop on the right. Scones, traybakes sausage rolls etc Also a selection of light bites. It's all very pleasant with about 12-15 tables but no soft seating type area. Bright and airy. It seems popular and is busy midday with local office workers and parishioners alike.

Went in to grab a bite to eat with my partner and was astonished to find a sandwich and a slice of lasagne cost £17. The food was just ok and although it wasn't busy I felt that the staff didn't have time for us.

I called in this morning for a takeaway and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The place was clean and tray bakes were very appealing though I didn't have any.

Having been here a good number of times through the years I have yet to be disappointed by what I have been served. Good scones, good coffee, great paninis

This was my first visit in over 5 years. I was very fond of it before when i worked nearby. Today i called in again as i was in the area and it was as good as ever. Coffee was very hot staff were friendly and the tables were cleared very quickly after people left. Not alot of parking at the front but im not sure if there is some out the back

Un animado y moderno simpática cafetería que siempre ha ocupado siempre que he visitado. Por desgracia la última vez, había un problema con la calefacción, lo cual hizo que lo que debería ser un lugar estupendo, muy normal en el día que estuve allí. Excelente...

The food was very good, the staff could not be more helpful, they are very pleasant and make your visit a good experience

My husband and I visited this cafe today at lunchtime.It is under new management and we had a lovely lunch.Great choice for all tastes.Soup sandwiches Panini's scones tray bakes and much more.Staff very pleasant and helpful and service was quick (if you needed to be in a hurry).We will be going again.😊

Been here a few times, most recently last week. Coffee, tea and a wee snack were all good. Service was good and there was a quiet, pleasant atmosphere. One of a number of cafes run by churches in Belfast, all are good.

Over recent years we often called in for a cooked breakfast and the busy atmosphere showed how popular this cafe was in the mornings. Called in recently to find the breakfast menu is now seriously downgraded to very basic fare; sausage rolls, pancakes and bacon, bagel and bacon, scones, toast....no eggs scrambled or otherwise, no sausage - no cooked breakfast in other words. If they can offer bacon why not eggs as well? the cafe at 9.30 am used to be filled with customers but this day was empty which spoke volumes. Lunch menu looked nice but not worth the bother if you want a cooked breakfast. We left and went elsewhere. The metal pole divider in the middle of the entrance drive into the carpark is a hazard and serves no purpose other than to damage your car.

Arc is a hidden gem. Bright and airy with welcoming staff and a great selection of food - use it a lot - P Mahon

Called in after the recent revamp, had the duck pie followed by lemon drizzle cake and cappuccino.New system worked really quickly, food and service excellent.Well worth a visit for breakfast, brunch or coffee and cake.

Nice pit-stop in an area where there aren't many other cafes to choose from. There are plenty of power points along the wall, as well as the obligatory free wifi. Free filter coffee top ups and loyalty card. Comfortable surroundings with an impressive view of Black Mountain. Not sure if the scones are home made, but they are excellent. Staff are helpful, efficient and friendly. Limited parking is available, in the grounds of the church, located at the front facing onto the Castlereagh Road.

Brilliant soup for lunch, lovely cuppa coffee with free top ups and wee traybake too served by friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Arc is a hub of activity during opening hours - it seems the cafe serves particularly the local community, schools & businesses of Castlereagh. The atmosphere is warm, modern & bright - there is good access, the cafe is spacious & the staff are friendly.They serve cooked breakfasts, a range of deli traybakes, muffins & the like, while at lunch they do sandwiches, paninis, soups and also some hot specials. Top ups & wifi are free. Parking is good & there's a bookshop. Highly recommended.

This is the only café on a 2 mile stretch of the Castlereagh Road in East Belfast. It's convent for people who live and work nearby, and for anyone travelling around the eastern outer ring of Belfast. There is plenty of natural light, modern tables, and everything is themed in natural oak, charcoal and white. It has free wifi, and coffee top up's outside of the busy lunchtime rush.Arc has dedicated parking for about 20 cars and lots of street parking as well.It has easy level access, large automatic doors, and plenty of ground floor toilets;So it's ideal for anyone bringing an elderly relative out for lunch or a chat, or for anyone with a pram or wheelchair. The paninis, sandwiches, breakfast, and soups are very good. I know they are working on a new summer menu so that should be interesting.
