Cafe Carberry in Belfast

Staff are always so lovely, helpful and quick to respond to orders. Food is fantastic and reasonably priced, especially for work events. Strongly recommend

Fantastic food and great service.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast. I recommend the clonakilty stack if your a fan of blackpudding! Delicious!

Went in for lunch with 5 friends. The staff were extremely pleasant and friendly and the service was excellent. They went well above what was expected. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We all had a great time and will certainly be back. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a great lunch. It made our wee trip into Belfast great ❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went in for lunch- menu was very limited due to them closing over the 12th week. Got food which was lovely and a latte, finished my coffee and went back to order another but was told 'No sorry, I can't make one as the station was been cleaned as they were packing up now...' the station was not being cleaned at that time but just felt like they couldn't be asked and that I was one of those annoying customers who had overstayed their welcome. Not a bad place but disappointing on the day in question 7th July 2023.

Gluten free hidden gem! Love the gluten free options here and the staff are always really friendly and helpful

Hello I’m Dixie normous ,I ordered a scone after work to treat myself. as I sat down and was eating my meal some lad walked in started violently shouting at me for no reason as the staff laughed at me and did not help me at all! I have severe ligma and I nearly had a seizure after the man left I went up to the counter and asked for a refund they refused and threw the scone at my face I do not recommend this place

Best place for coffee and scone in City Centre highly recommended!

Coffee and porridge were good. Nice little cafe.

Lovely place to get a bite. Very affordable as well.

Cafe Carberry provided catering for a family occasion for 20+ attendees of adults and kids, they were very accomodating, the food provided was excellent, fantastic presentation and attention to detail, delivered on time and hot and enough to provide everyone who attended with extras for next day, I would highly recommend thank you.

Great café we visited for breakfast. Good selection of food and drinks.

5* food at reasonable prices and lovely staff. If carlsberg picked staff they would pick these ladies

I love this warm and friendly cafe. The staff are just lovely and nothing is too much trouble... oh and the cakes are to die for!!

Early morning breakfast, before heading to the airport. Fantastic vegetarian/vegan breakfast options. Great value, friendly service.

Best cafe in town! Been going here for over a year now pretty much everyday and the service and food is amazing can't fault it!

Sooooo good! Have started to order through deliveroo.. Packaged perfectly so nothing spills and the food is amazing 👏

Rather expensive but soup was divine. Sandwich fresh and bread soft, really nice, but the soup was superb.

Went in yesterday for a quick bite. Turns out they have a wonderful menu of breakfast foods— very reasonably priced. I got the eggs Benedict. Super yummy! Staff was nice, tables were clean. I highly recommend.

Fabulous find for brunch in Belfast. Food and service was excellent! Highly recommend this lovely café! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had a few minutes to fill before an appointment at the Belfast passport office, and spotted this café just across the road. It looked quite unprepossessing from the outside, but it was nice and bright inside, and I was served a very good cappuccino.

You got it wrong I was never in it can't rate it

Excellent, fresh food combined with friendly, reliable service - Ursula in particular is always very helpful! Thank you!

Very good breakfast, extremely yummy bread (and this is coming from two German bread enthusiasts :D). I would recommend the poached eggs on avocado mash. Open very early as well which was very convenient. Nice and quiet, relaxing for the morning.

Of course if you are NOT WHITE you are treated differently! Some of the UNFRIENDLIEST WHITE STAFF I have met here in Northern Ireland.

Great Coffee and Treats. Lovely chilled setting.

Had a lovley gougon salad at lunchtime and a caramel and chocolate scone earlier in the day. Really tasty food!

Staff very friendly and fast service

Absolutely lovely food reasonably priced, friendly staff to boot. Highly recommended.

Was in there this morning for breakfast and I would highly recommend a visit. The staff were super friendly and the food was amazing. Will be back again!

Just ordered Smashed Avo & Iced Coffee for delivery. It is not the cheapest option around but is well worth it. Lovely food which is very high quality. Thanks!

The place is very cozy but the coffee was below average! Nothing really special here

We had an hour to spare before our appointment in Belfast this morning and thought we would go to one of the big hotels for morning tea. Thankfully for us it didn't open the bar until noon so we found ourselves at Cafe Carberry. What a treat. It was beautifully decorated. The service was excellent and very friendly. We got the biggest pot of tea ever, a melt in the mouth scone and a sausage roll all for under 8 pounds. Will definitely be back.

Great service, beautiful food and unreal value. I would recommend their sausages to those lookin for something unique.

Faina vieta. Skanus maistas ir Ginesas su serbentų sirupu.😁 Grojo gyva muzika. Puiku.

Friday lunch treat in the City of Belfast means getting out and about to new cafes and restaurants that you haven't tried before. Near the City centre and the Victoria Square Shopping Centre is Cafe Carberry where me and a friend decided to get a good quality lunch for Friday. We both went for chicken wraps toasted with all the trimmings and a side of chips and tea and mocha to drink. The food was of good quality and the wraps were bountiful in size, the service was pretty quick and there is nothing better than a good hot drink on a cold windy day in February. Otherall its a nice little place and the location is good as it sits almost inbetween the City Centre and Lanyon Central Station which makes ideally located in the areas of St Georges Market and the Victoria Square Shopping Centre, so its almost impossible to miss if you travel by train to the city centre.

Really nice coffee and the croissants were good too.

Early morning visit for coffee and toast. Coffee was nice but the toast was forgotten and after a reminder cold and over done toast arrived. Servers are young and not interested.

They make an excellent flat white, and I’ve enjoyed the filled sodas immensely.

This is a rating for the cafe Carberry in concentrix, lovely staff, pity the food is terrible, when i say terrible i mean absolutely awful.

Lovely food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Wont be disappointed:)

Had the spicy pulled pork burrito....spicy (not really) pulled pork (not very much of) and mostly full of rice. Not a fan of their chips which were pale and just bleurgh! Could do alot better

Going keep it sort. £12 odd for 2 small breakfasts and a drink each. Food cold Small portion No thanks, we wont be back

Good food and good prices. The Takeaway tea for a pound is great value.

First time I have used Cafe Carberry and would definitely use them again. Was having a family gathering and didn’t have time to cook. Food was delicious, portion sizes very generous. Reasonably priced given quality of food. Would recommend them.

美味しいカフェご飯をいただく事ができるのがこちらのお店です。野菜たっぷりで心にほっこりと染み渡りました。

Stopped for a snack as visiting the city. Lovely tea and amazing scones!! Friendly service. £8 for 2 enormous scones with jam, 2 teas and a banana! Great value for a city centre coffee shop. Def. recommend.

Tasty, quick service, reasonably priced.

The food is lovely and reasonably priced, and the service is fast. All that you'd want from a good cafe

Great location when you are heading to court. Good teas and coffees. Food also looked so good

They do a good filled soda any combination of egg, bacon and sausage.

Went here for a coffee after visiting St George's market in Belfast. Lovely coffee and cookie. Plenty of seating and service is very good.

Friendly little find in the heart of Belfast. Great food.

Good for a fry, although no potato or soda bread. Very clean.

Coffee is fantastic and the brownies are to die for worth a visit especially for breakfast

Love this restaurant always good well presented food and the staff are outstanding in every way.

I go here regularly. Such a good place to eat. Food is always so good. Highly recommended.

I frequent this spot for lunch as it’s close to work. It’s a regular haunt for the legal eagles in town - so great for a people watch! Usually opt for a baked potato it something equally simple. Food is tasty but an average lunch costs me £8 a time so it’s not feasible for an everyday lunch. The environment isn’t fancy or anything but it’s location is very convenient

Organising our Christmas party and not sure about outside catering. Spoke to Café Carberry and they were very happy to work within our budget given we are a charity. I was a little apprehensive having not used them before but no need, food was amazing. As you know at all Christmas party's you get some complainers, not one. All staff agreed food was fantastic, presentation very professional and everything tasty and fresh. I would highly recommend this company and we will definitely be using them again. Quality of food first class and customer service excellent.

Great spicy lentil soup. Very pleasant and attentive staff.

Best Cafe in Belfast without a doubt. Staff and owners are the nicest people you will come across.

Slow and expensive, wouldn't recommend.

Big self service café near the law courts. Coffee not bad. Food OK.

Regularly call at this cafe and am never disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive. The coffee is excellent and the food is always fresh and tasty. If you want good service, good food and great coffee give it a try, you will be impressed.

By far my favorite café in Belfast. Open from early morning circa 6:45am every day. Great coffee, great food and great staff. Their scones are to die for.

My partner and I meet most Mondays & Fridays for lunch, I would like to think that we have visited most the majority of the cafes in the city centre at some point. Just over a month ago we happened to stumble Upon this little gem, we've been back about 14 times since. In my opinion its in my top 5 place in Belfast to get an amazing cappuccino and hearty hot or cold lunch. So Why I hear you ask.... well where do I start? Ok so... THE COFFEE, H ere you don't get half a cup of frothy milk and hardly any coffee like Starbucks or Nero, @ Cafe Carberry Its a cup of smooth creamy perfection and never over heated to the point where you feel the need to spit it back into the cup because its burnt the of your throat. NEXT THE FOOD, everyday there are two soups or Hot special's to choose from that have been freshly made, numerous salads and other mouth watering items which iv'e not tried but have seen been dropped off at other tables. ( which I intend to try lol ) THE SERVICE, its speedy and pleasant the staff are always chirpy, polite and have a welcoming smile on there face they all actually seem to enjoy there job. THE ATOMASPHERE, There is always food music playing in the busy background while the café itself has been decorated in a tasteful and up to date manner. Will definitely be returning to this little gem of a coffee house. If you haven't been GO you're missing out.

First visit back today to an establishment I haven't visited in over a year. Really looked forward to rekindling memories of a great breakfast, cheerful staff, mellow tunes to start the day and a warm atmosphere to make it all worthwhile. So, what happened? What went well? Plenty of space in which to sit, with those fantastic big leather sofas situated near the doors, though in times past I have struggled to get a seat after 7am, and so I wonder what's happened to the past, regular clientele? Reasonable selection of soft drinks, juices, and of course there is plenty of space in a wide aisle in which to enter and exit the cafe. Also, one lady serving today actually looked like she was enjoying her day. Customers do tend to like seeing happy workers; it encourages our repeat patronage! Even better if? Crikey, where to start!... Decor is dark and gloomy; don't go by the web pics on T.A. It's like an existentialist attempt at persistent low mood in an eaterie, and really dampens the energy of the place. It's frankly dull. Bad service is another new concern at this cafe. Polish lady cleaning up spilled milk from the floor upon my arrival. Her red-haired companion, looking miserable as can be, after hearing my own "good morning, how are you?" greeting and then roundly ignoring me, states to Polish counterpart.."there's a customer." Polish lady advises she is mopping up and will be just a moment. Ginger haired misery repeats "there's a customer", before retreating to kitchen preparation area and peering round the door at me to continue her glower. Does she ingest lemons as a hobby? Next comes the huffing, puffing Polish lady smiling nervously and asking what I'd like. I order porridge and a large cooked breakfast for my colleague. I want my porridge made with milk. I also note the Polish lady's accent and state how nice it is to hear another exotic accent. Again I'm ignored and her gaze is averted. Shyness? I was paying a compliment...learn to accept these dear! Humans tend to notice differences and uniqueness. Is this some weird sort of staff training in the highest standards of ignorance that Cafe Carberry now has going for its people? The place was dead FGS; the least your people can do is raise a flipping smile and at least pretend they'd like us to stay and spend more cash. Food shows up to my lovely, comfy leather sofa, all served by the one remaining smiling, charming young lady who actually looks like she gives a damn. The porridge is made with water, and I suspect, microwaved.Not happy about that. I have to start work in 15 minutes. Large breakfast is something fit for a titmouse; it was, in fact, a mini breakfast. 2 messed up orders and 2 very unhappy professionals, one visiting, one resident, who then went straight to our office and told everyone how rubbish the place had become. In summary, lousy/no welcome to the joint, atrocious customer service skills, (especially the flame haired female with a face like a dropped meat pie); shockingly bad staff attitudes towards the Polish(?) colleague, unresponsive/uncooperative Polish (?) colleague (is she actually a robot?); god-awful porridge, non existent listening and confirmatory skills; no checks made to determine if we actually enjoyed the food/place/atmosphere; no exit thanks or wishes. Won't ever be back, which is a shame as it was always my breakfast port of call whenever I was in town on business.

Recent breakfast meeting. Food ok, service average, cost ok. Overall nothing that would make me rush back.

Lovely food and great coffee. Really friendly staff and great atmosphere.

We call here often when in the area as the coffee is excellent. Lovely staff and great selection of specials each day. Love the quirky messages they always put on the board outside. Hello David - your service is the best for miles.

El personal es agradable y el servicio es lo suficientemente rápido. Llame ahora y aquí de nuevo para su pollo goujons w/patatas fritas. Los goujons siempre son preciosas, pero las patatas tienden a ser bien, pero aún comestible :)

Hoy para una reunión pidió el personal y todo el mundo estaba muy impresionada. Para todos los requisitos dietéticos. El delievery era un poco tarde, ya que el conductor nos perdimos, pero la comida era precioso. Sección de sándwiches, wraps con brochetas de fruta y bandeja mini elabora. Sin duda volveremos

We call to Carberry for coffee and a light lunch if at this side of the city. Best coffee in Belfast and if David is working the service and craic is fantastic. We always aim for the sofas for comfort and watch the world go by through the large windows facing Victoria Street.

Nice coffee shop with good food

Call into this place all the time, located really close to Victoria Centre. Great food and coffee excellent, made by properly trained baristas. Staff always friendly service good. Well worth a visit.

Love the coffee in here, and the food is spot on too. Every time I visit the staff are very courteous and do their job well. Thumbs up!

I would pop in on the regular to get my morning coffee fix before work, always quick service and staff are always cheery and welcoming. I never usually have time to stay long but decided I would start going for lunch there now and again, I've just recently changed jobs and Carberry is handy to my work. Great service continues into even their busy lunchtimes. Always clean and food is always tasty! And the coffee is quality. Value for money also. It's hard to eat out on a budget but definitely for the quality of food, coffee and service it's reasonable compared to most. Five stars all round!

The food is always beautiful and a clean environment . Lovely décor with a selection of modern artwork on the walls. The staff are friendly and helpful and provide a great service.

I regularly stop off here for my morning caffeine hit and again or a healthy lunch when on business in the City Centre. I would highly recommend the Soups and Salads.

This place is filthy. The floors are black with grime and dust, the walls have old dry splashes of tea or coffee on them and the table looked like it had been wiped down with a dirty mop. The breakfast (fry) was very poor. Deep fried strange tasting sausages, fatty bacon, and a spoonful of over cooked beans and mushrooms. The only saving grace was half decent coffee.

This is a really nice place, well located, always busy and offering a wide variety of food. I really enjoyed my visit until I went to the toilet before leaving. I approached with trepidation when I realised there was only 1 customer toilet for everyone including both sexes, disabled and baby changing. The place was grotty with the water in the toilet bowl filled right up to the brim, a wet floor, and large volumes of urine lying around the edge of the toilet and oozing from under the seat. I sincerely hope that there is a different, cleaner toilet for staff use. If I return, I will visit the toilet before I order food and if it is still unclean I won't be ordering or returning. There is no need for this mess.

We have been here a few times over the last year for breakfast and on previous occasions the service has been ropey but we decided to give it another go as the food is always good. The service was greatly improved this time and we will be back

The cafe is busy and well positioned as it is right in the middle if Belfast's legal quarter and therefore frequented by lawyers, staff etc. This is why it has a steady stream of customers on a daily basis. It is, however, nothing special at all. Belfast city centre has a wealth of cafes and eateries to choose from, many of which are far superior in terms of food, service and price! Which is why I am highly surprised at the rather over-enthusiastic reviews. Service in Cafe Carberry is basic and prices are on the expensive side. Average at best.

Having explored the new Belfast that has sprung up along the banks of the River Lagan, and people watched in nearby St. George’s Market, my girlfriend and I dropped in on a restaurant that serves some of the best coffee in Belfast, Cafe Carberry.The range of coffee, teas and food will please travellers and business professionals alike (Raymond and Ursula Carberry also provide catering for the tall and glass fronted Law Society building across the street).Supported by mellow music wafting from the restaurants sound system, and staff that actually care, in my humble opinion you’ll not find better.

This is the best Cafe I have used offers a great range of choice and the staff are always nice and have excellent customer service nothing is too much trouble for them I would highly recommend a visit here

One of the best cafe's in Belfast. Use Cafe Carberry for outside catering for business, and also for myself for breakfast and lunch. Lovely food, great selection and the staff are very friendly, especially Ursula who is always helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Come here everyday. Very handy as close to work. Service is immaculate and food is great. Coffee is even better! Yum! lovely to sit outside and enjoy the sun when its out.

While I'd noticed it's unique planted exterior, I'd never visited Cafe Carberry until my girlfriend brought me during one of her lunch breaks. As I like quirky and artsy places, this restaurant was right up my street. With one side of the restaurant's interior decorated with art by local artists, and friendly and amiable staff serving a veritable cornucopia of coffee's and tea's from across the globe, supported by locally made meals and delicacies, Cafe Carberry is now a must for something scrumptious any time I visit or shop in Belfast's city centre. The craic in the place is great too!

This is the nearest coffee shop to my work and I usually eat here several times a week, but not just because it's close. The breakfast's unlike some of the nearby shops are freshly cooked to order and are delicious. Lunchtime food is excellent as well, as well as the standard coffee shop fare they always have interesting specials on offer and freshly made on-site soups and sandwiches. The staff are always friendly and helpful, one even picked out all the mushrooms from a curry for me when I said I didn't like them.

I use this café regularly, but today I got a smoked salmon bagel to take out (which was expensive) but I wouldn't have minded, only the tiny amount of smoked salmon in the bagel was ridiculous, and it didn't taste fresh. I won't be back here for sure.

Had a coffee and a scone recently. All good, scone tasty. Tried to order another coffee as a waiter passed but after 15 minutes it hadn't arrived, so left!!

I visit Cafe Carberry daily for their great tasting coffee at a great price (£1 for take away tea or filter all day every day). The staff are always polite and friendly staff. There's a great selection on the menu for breakfast and lunch and quite often a low carb version is available if that's what you're into. The soup options are always delicious and the wheaten bread is the best I've tasted.

I visit Cafe Carberry pretty regularly for coffee or breakfast. Great spot with early opening! Some good breakfast options, very friendly staff and great coffee! Nice atmosphere.

Best coffee shop in Belfast. Staff are excellent and the coffee is great.

I almost always go here for my coffee fix. Pure nectar and a consistently great cup. Food is great too. Don't know if I can say it's the best coffee in Belfast but it's certainly my favorite

Just had a coffee here as I was going for an early dinner, the coffee was grand and the food looks nice. The staff are very friendly and there were at least 4 on duty whilst we were in. It was not overly busy just one or two other tables occupied whilst we were in. All was fine until I used the toilet, the toilet floor was extremely dirty and my feet were sticking to it, but the toilet itself was okay but not clean looking either. Due to the amount of staff on duty I don't think it would have been to hard for one of them to have taken a mop and bucket and cleaned the floor. I always judge the standard off a restaurant by how clean they keep there toilets and this turned my stomach! This place needs a regular toilet check done, no excuse in this day and age for dirty toilets.

great wee cafe in town, does all the usual fare and makes it fresh and with a reasonable price ticket. I also love the lunch deliveries , working in office in town Carberry does great food plates hot and cold and the scones are fabulous

Have been here a few times for lunch, their menu is really varied and the staff are lovely. It is a little bit pricey for lunch but the portions are big and you will be filled for the rest of the day!

Заходила утром на чашечку кофе. Впечатлили фирменные десерты ручной работы, капкейки со свежими ягодами и карамельным кремом

Cafe Carberry is great for a casual lunch. The food is excellent, the coffee is good and the service is always friendly. Love the daily specials too! Never a let down
