Cream the Coffee Shop in Castlereagh

Only disposible cups used, which just end up blowing around outside and making a mess. Supremely wasteful and unnecessary. A real shame that an establishment in such a nice setting is so environmentally unfriendly.

My friend and I choose to try this place today (a Saturday) around 12:30, I had seen it when searching Google maps for a place for lunch. The reviews were good, the photos of the food looked good and so we decided to try for ourselves. The location was good for us and plenty of parking. When we got inside there are 2 ends of where you can sit, we walked in one side and it was busy enough so walked down to the other side where the counter is. We got greeted immediately by a member of staff who showed us to a table right away and gave us menus. We didn't have to wait long at all and the guy (didn't ask for his name) came over and took our order, he was the one who greeted us when we first came in, he was friendly and attentive. Our drinks came out quite promptly which was nice and then we didn't have to wait long at all for our food. The service was great. The food was lovely too, my friend had a pesto chicken brie and sun blush toastie and I had sourdough poached eggs tapenade and avocado. I would say it was on the pricey side but it was good food, service and we would definitely go again. The menu had a good selection on it.

Pay a visit for the scones alone!! Best raspberry and white chocolate scone in Belfast. I’ve asked the lovely dark haired girl for the recipe every Friday morning, but she remains tight lipped! Scone and a generous pot of tea for under £4…a steal!

I only discovered this hidden gem with an online search. We loved it! Quirky wee place with friendly staff and properly good coffee. My husband loved the toasted scone and my caramel square was exactly how I remembered them!

Not our first time at the Secret Garden, the food, staff, atmosphere, are all incredible. Always welcomed with a smile by Emma and her staff. Can’t recommend enough
