Established Coffee in Belfast

Love this place, probably the best coffee you'll have in Belfast. They are extremely passionate about the coffee they're making.

We ordered a latte (with the Peru coffee beans), a French toast and an apple French toast. For the food, we really loved the French toasts individually and how different the two are. The French toast with the Japanese milk bread and bacon is an interesting combination, and they turned out to be a pretty decent match! The milk bread is so soft which complements the crispy bacon really well. The apple French toast just feels like eating a really really nice apple crumble. The latte was amazing as well. We tried the Peru coffee beans and it smells so nice! It’s so good that we even bought a coffee beans back home to make the coffee ourselves (or at least attempt to).

My partner and I come here often with our dog. The coffee is amazing and amongst some of the nicest coffee I've tasted in Belfast. The bakes are average. The food is above average but not great for the price you pay. I had always only gone for the coffee but one time Ordered food and then tiny plate was almost laughable. So for that reason, we only come here for coffee and only when we are in the city centre. I do want to add, the staff and bloody amazing at what they do we have never ever had a bad vibe with any of them, they're honestly great craic. P.S. Please bring the Chinese coffee beans back!!!!!

Great French toast, mediocre coffee!

Had breakfast today with a pal, lovely setting, excellent food. staff are very pleasant and everything was "chilled". definitely going back.

We ate and drank excellent coffee here several times before, during and after a wedding weekend in Belfast. Every time was excellent - great Americanos, great food and great service. All the staff were great and the manager was super-friendly. When in central Belfast I would always try to have breakfast and/or lunch here. Yeah, it can be crowded but that's because it is soo good!

Fantastic espresso. Made with care. Nice atmosphere. Good curated bean selection.

Incredible coffee and the porridge is delicious. A must visit!!

Mediocre at best. Coffee not to my taste and a number of people say it's unenjoyably strong tasting. Feel like that's got worse of late. Food menu is poor and lacking variety. Again, uninteresting.

Fantastic coffee, good chat from the staff. Really enjoyed my eggs and bacon!

The coffee was great!! The rest has the ambience of a train station. The service was slow. The cookie is delicious

I ordered poached eggs, sourdough and halloumi cheese - all cooked beautifully. Sourdough was wonderfully light and halloumi perfectly grilled. Coffee good but a bit lukewarm- only issue

Great spot ! Had the rotating Columbian espresso and the seasonal Cinnamon French toast - both were delicious. Servers were super nice, and the atmosphere is laid back just for a pop in. Wish this place was home !

I was looking for a vegan turmeric late and thankfully here I found have one!, for vegans is ok, they have avocado toast or the soup (today was lentils and beans), the waiter said it was full vegan but I think it have a bit of milk cream as a part of decoration, I recommend to ask first, the taste was really good and the place a little bit bussy.

Nice place open nice and early (07:00) great breakfast choices scrambled eggs with sourdough toast was lovely

Great food. Best porridge in Belfast. Good coffee.

Ok, it's the only coffee shop I've been to in Belfast, but it's so good it's the only one I look for. Excellent coffee, lovely food, decent staff, usually some space somewhere. Can get a bit busy at peak times.

Amazing coffee and the friendliest of staff. Great location and a great selection on bakes as well. There is also a good amount of seating available.

I wandered the city looking for good coffee. On the third day, my friends brought me here for a meeting. It was a pleasant surprise. The espresso had a wonderful taste, and the milk was poured and stretched expertly. The baristas were authentically friendly and welcoming. I almost felt home. The deserts were likewise tasty. I highly recommend the soft salted caramel brownies. Moreover, the environment was conducive to thought and creativity. I was surrounded by interesting people who are bold, kind, and outgoing. There were USB and charging stations, but space can sometimes be competitive. The wifi wasn't working for most of the days that I was there. tl;dr: best coffee and cafe environment in Belfast.

Honestly so overpriced and adverage. We bought french toast, sour dough with poached eggs, 2 coffee and 2 buns and it cost £35. The seating layout is annoying. We were told to take the window seat and I ended up standing to eat because it was so uncomfortable. The food was only ok. My wife had the sour dough and pouched eggs and it cut her mouth because it was so tough. I had the french toast which was nice enough. The place is a cute little hipster place but only adverage on food and coffee.

I love it here so much. I always feel so welcomed and taken care of by the kind staff, and the coffee and food is such high quality. My go-to ❤️

Absolutely amazing cafe. Lovely vibe. Stunning food. Friendly staff. Top coffee 😊

Had our first breakfast here a few days ago, and it didn't disappoint! My partner loves her coffee, and she said it was one of the best she had. She even bought coffee to take back home as well! The french toast dish was delicious (the bacon was sooo crispy!), and I enjoyed the experience here. I'm not a coffee drinker, but if you are, then make sure you come here for breakfast!

We went to Established Coffee as our first breakfast in Belfast. It's a lovely modern and small cafe, so I would recommend getting there early as people queue up to get their coffee/food. The coffee is outstanding: I had the butterscotch iced latte, which was incredible! I also ordered food, I went for one of their seasonal dishes, the Japanese milk bread with maple syrup, crispy bacon, and a sausage on the side. The bread was super tasty and fluffy, and the sausage and the bacon added flavour to the bread and were cooked to perfection.

So so glad we found this place. The coffee was amazing (try a butterscotch latte) and the poached eggs on toast with salmon was worth the whole trip to Belfast. Haha A great place to chat may be a bit loud if you are wanting to work or read. Will totally return some day.

Great coffee, amazing staff, great atmosphere.

Top quality food and coffee, with excellent staff. Seek this place out, you won't be disappointed.

Finally found a damn GOOD coffee in Belfast.

Eaton mess French toast really great. Very nice place. Slightly expensive, but worth it.

the best avocado bread with poached eggs i’ve ever tasted in my life. this could be the meal ill have for the rest of my life, morning noon and night and ill die happily and fulfilled

So flavour coffees El Campo & El Vergel with Alomnd & cinnamon swirl. The staff ( specialist , freindly, welcoming ) The atmosphere is nice, but nothing unique. Good place to start you day with a nice flavour coffee.

The original and best speciality coffee shop in Belfast. I wasn't sure about it previously but have since matured in my coffee journey and have come to love it. The staff are so friendly, down to earth and engaging. Have had many coffees here over the years. I even bought my Chemex here years ago. Recently had an amazing double espresso here alongside an epic biscoff cookie. Perfect extraction made it a delight to slowly sip and appreciate. It was so excellent that I bought a bag of the beans before I left. It cost a little more due to the beans but was worth every penny. An exceptional cafe that now roast their own coffee. I can't wait to return soon. Highly recommended!

A cafe with a good business, tried the blood rice cake; if you don’t like strong taste, don’t try it!

Danger! Good coffee in great quantities. Probably biggest coffeeshop in Belfast, lots of beans on shelf and some on the bar. Nestor Lasso strawberry chiroso on the picture, served very smoothly. Cinnamon swirl (not on picture) is to die for.

Ordered chilli hot chocolate with oat milk, regular hot chocolate with oat milk, avocado toast and cinnamon bun. The chilli hot chocolate tasted same as regular hot chocolate, no taste of chilli at all, and the oat milk tasted weird too. The cinnamon bun was okay. They forgot to give me the cinnamon bun initially, I had to go and ask for it again, and the cafe was quite empty at the time. The avocado toast was a piece of toast with a half raw avocado that did not taste good, and no seasoning at all. Do not recommend for the food or drinks.

Established has been on my list for some time now and decided to give it a go. I ordered French toast and as I was waiting I noticed that other people in the cafe who had the salted caramel French toast had left quite a lot of it on their plates so I was starting to doubt my choice. I could kind of taste eggs from the toast and it was cold. I was disappointed and felt like I had to eat more just to make it feel worth the money. Our meal in total came to over £23 which was steep considering it wasn’t enjoyable. there are better brunch options nearby (albeit with a wait but more worth it). I would like to give Established the benefit of the doubt that their savoury breakfast choices are better however I don’t think I will be back. Service and atmosphere were really great though.

The food was very good and the atmosphere were also very good. The staff were nice and friendly.

We had cake and coffee, which was both very good. Service was excellent. Ambiente nice with a good mix of music. A little too noisy as the interior is barely designed to make buzz sound quiet and pleasant. On the downturn, the cafe only has one toilet, which may be too little during a busy time.

The place was busy and a queue to just order but the coffee was really good. I tried their Cortado it was perfect also their desserts were really delicious.

Such a treat to visit Established. The staff are so kind, open and professional. Amazing coffee and a lovely open space with great food.

Staff brilliant food was too complicated for my simple tastes.

Have used cafe over the years. Is it my imagination or has atmosphere got louder?; Thursday afternoon, music blaring. Food and coffee good if a little on expensive side. Pleasant staff. Maybe I'm getting old.

Great coffee and very knowledgeable staff!

Short rib toast was incredible!

We usually love artisan coffee and went with the suggestions of the staff (their two house specials at the till) but it wasn't to our taste at all! No fault of hers, might just be too out there flavours for us. Our milk bun breakfast was good, and the atmosphere is nice and the staff lovely. Unless you're up for very adventurous coffee you might not like (strawberries do not go with coffee for me, I've learned) I'd go with one of their classics instead.

Good coffee, you expect that but buns not what they could be.

Great coffee & perfectly poached eggs if you’re in for brunch. A busy place (especially on weekends) so expect a bit of a wait, but well worth a visit if you’re not in a rush. Also love their take-away bags of granola.

Bit expensive for the small cup. But have a good modern atmosphere

Magnificent coffee found thanks to Paul ❤️

Great coffee, definitely worth a visit

Shortrib dish is sensational 😋 Food is always delicious in Established 👍

Taste 2.8 Temp 2.8 Texture 2.7 (8.3 /9) Art 0.8 Total 9.1

Called for breakfast which was a basic breakfast sausage and bread but £20 for 2 seems OTT

Today I ordered a flat white with oat milk, the girl serving then passed the order out after shouting (I thought) flat white with oat. It was just a flat white (someone else's) the server then glared at me and said "you took someone else's coffee" .... Which was indeed true, but could've been handled so much better. Such a pity, as usually I find the staff lovely.

Top notch espresso and surprisingly delicious breakfast food. Great for travelers, walking distance from the AC Marriott. They serve still water with their espresso. If you ask for sparkling, it'll come from a can and they'll charge you for it.

I’ve been visiting Established coffee on my trips to Belfast for a while. As someone who works within the coffee industry, it’s always a real treat to see what they have on their bar. Today I tried their Nestor Lasso via pour over and found it to be a delight. The team have great enthusiasm and clearly have a real passion for their work. I can’t recommend this place enough.

We found this to be a nice coffee shop and a good place to sit while we were waiting for a tour to start. Surprisingly, there really isn’t much open from 9-10 am in the area.

I'm really disappointed with the money I just spent and the portion size. So expensive for barely any food. Still starving and just wasted £15 but the server I had on the till was bringing all the good vibes lol

Mimimalistic interior with an industrial like interior with a sterile feel, with a large table and a few tables of two on the side and window seating- high chairs with small seating base- uncomfortable. The table chairs are also wooden. Queue for ordering. Combination of interesting coffee beans and also lattes. Cakes on display at the order Counter. Colombian beans best blend of coffee intensity and milk ratio.

I'd wanted to try this place for a while. Finally got around to calling in. Decided to have a turmeric latte... It sounded different. Very tasty with a nice zing. Venue is clean and well maintained.

An excellent option for an early breakfast in Belfast city centre. Tasty food, great coffee, and very friendly staff.

The hash brown seasonal dish was delicious!!

Title: Mixed Experience: Great Food, Flawed Ordering System Our visit to this establishment was a mixed bag. Despite the flawed ordering system, this establishment shines with its delicious food. While the process of queuing to order before seating adds a unique touch, it resulted in feeling rushed and pressured, particularly for my sister with a dairy allergy. It's crucial for the owner to consider revamping the system or providing clear signage to alleviate this issue. Additionally, we were caught off guard by the requirement to order before being seated—a detail we weren't informed about beforehand. This lack of clarity added to the sense of pressure, highlighting the need for clearer communication or signage at the entrance. Now, onto the positives—the food was exceptional. Each of the four meals we tried was divine. The lamb short rib was flavorful, although the excess bread made it a bit challenging to cut. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the hash brown, perfectly complementing every element of the meal. The staff, though occasionally visibly frustrated with the system, remained courteous throughout our experience.

Really great coffee and nicely done breakfast

Lovely coffee and friendly staff, definitely going there again.

First time here, has been a great space to relax during our holiday! Recommend the cruffin and Cohetando coffee.

Excellent coffees and unforgettable brunch items. 👌

Truly the best flat white and breakfast in the city. It’s the business! We came back four times. Such excellent service with genuine warmth and chat! It’s hipster in a good way! Thanks guys! 🤎💫🙌🏽

Simple breakfast done really well

Rotating list of brews on the board keep me coming back. Staff are knowledgeable and passionate and always friendly.

Unreal coffee selection! Grab a bag for home and enjoy one sitting in too with a lovely wee bun!

Very friendly. Nice atmosphere. Good drink. Delicious food. Recommend chili hot chocolate and barista’s choice coffee. For dishes, we like hash brown the most but others are also nice!

Very friendly Exellent service Reak good food and coffee

Best coffee in Belfast and the service is top tier. They regcognise customers all the time and sometimes have our coffee order already typed into the till. They manage the queues and seating system really well too. I love the service so much. Just so friendly. My favourite spot in Belfast.

Limited but good options for breakfast. The space is cool, open, with tons of natural light

Great food and friendly staff. Could have twice the amount of seating and still be full

Trendy industrial style coffee shop in the Cathedral quarter of the city. Really enjoyed the current blend, Bella vista, earthy, notes of pear, blackberry & fig. Friendly staff.

Nice coffee, although there was an extra charge for plant based milk and no vegan / plant based cakes. More plant based options needed.

Great coffee, so many varieties to choose from. Brunch options were excellent too. Fresh and tasty.

We wanted a lighter breakfast than the buffet option at our hotel so decided to try this small place just around the corner. Good decision! Excellent coffee and good selection of items to go with sourdough toast. All very tasty and reasonably priced.

The best veggie brunch I’ve ever tasted. Thoughtfully combined flavours in perfect harmony. Perfect food with lovely, friendly staff. We really enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere at the large middle table.

Great to find a great cafe that is open early morning in Belfast (more difficult than you think) My friend had the porridge and I had sour dough toast with nut butter and halloumi on the side. Very tasty. Coffee was excellent

Great food, had had browns, bacon, egg, broccoli with chai latte. Good place to eat in although it was busy and difficult to find a seat at the time.

What a gem. Amazing coffee, really well thought out brunch options, fresh bread, buns, and venoisserie, and amazing service. Had the coconut porridge with nut butter - everything tasted like it was made from scratch. Definitely returning when im in Belfast.

Modern and spacious layout with excellent customer service! I popped in this morning for a simple black coffee and was welcomed by an enthusiastic barista. I went for the barista's choice of coffee bean to use and I was not disappointed. I didn't have food, however, the food that came out of the kitchen look incredible. A great boost to my morning!

Always love their coffee. Nice airy space with some funky coffee options. Tried the Chinese coffee beans last time. Had no idea China made coffee beans! 🫘

Coffee, food and service always great.

Small queue on a Saturday around lunchtime. The coffee was fantastic, as were the poached eggs, bacon, and sourdough toast. Constructive feedback: This is a cold country, and most of the time people are wearing winter coats. It would be great to have some hooks under the tables by the window to hang our coats. Other than that, I love the place!

Excellent coffee in a lovely area.

My go-to place each time visiting Belfast. Excellent filter coffee, great food, super friendly staff and enough space to sit and relax.

A good place for quality coffees and teas. A busy place with a very mixed clientele.

Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere and reasonable prices. Crème Brulé French Toast Best in Town.

Regular for coffee and breakfast. Busy place for good reason. Staff are friendly and food is consistently good.

One Coffee leads to another! The welcoming team at Established that are part of a coffee revolution culture in Belfast. Each member is individual but incredible kind and deliver a stellar performance when it comes to their customers. The coffee is of Australian if not even Italian standards!

The Team are what make Established as a company, delivering a Laugh to a gentle welcome depending on the customer needs. Emma embodies what all the team believe in by going beyond expectations and supporting the customer and creating a chilled-out atmosphere.

We had breakfast here everyday during our stay in Belfast. Excellent service

Great place, service, and food!

Very good dishes done pretty well. The chef must be very skilled.

A really nice cafe that is hidden away along a back street. One of the best places to get a drink and snack when in Belfast. There food is tasty and the staff and service are great.

Fantastic speciality coffee, I always by my beans from here. Incredibly friendly staff who always seem to give me the time, even when it’s super busy. Always will recommend!
