Harlem Cafe in Belfast

A fantastic little cafe. We were looking for a nice breakfast before our flight home and Harlem didn’t disappoint. Though extremely busy all of the team were polite and helpful. Be prepared to wait for a table as people queue up the street to eat here. We had the Belfast bap and also a French toast to share as we couldn’t pass this one up after seeing it delivered to another table while we waited. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection even though it was extremely busy. Very impressed!!!! The lady who I believe was the manager/owner seemed to really love her job!!! Working in hospitality myself it was a pleasure to see as in this current climates it’s a tough gig! Would definitely recommend and return!!!!!!

Visited today, had to wait a while for a table but it was definitely worth it! Lovely upbeat, warm and friendly staff. I'm coeliac so always tricky eating out. Was reassured before ordering. I had fabulous fresh fish & chips, mushy peas and lovely tartare sauce. Partner had steak sandwich. Big silver pot of tea. So reasonably priced. Thank you.

Large, delicious portions. Well-equipped women's restroom! Very, very friendly! Fresh juices and delicious teas. We didn't have to wait long here either. And the Irish breakfast was very good! ☺️ And I thought the music fit the whole package perfectly!

Harlem has a great atmosphere. But we found the music too loud difficult to talk to each other. However food excellent and good quality.

The Best Breakfast I've ever had. The food was full of flavour and freshly cooked. The staff were so attentive and friendly. It was worth the wait in the queue. We were delighted we found this place. The coffee is excellent too!

We checked out of our hotel and found this recommendation. We were a minute away so ventured along . We waited a short time but the place was super busy on a weekday morning which we took as a great sign . Atmosphere was gorgeous , staff were excellent and the Irish breakfasts and coffee were exceptional . Everything was piping hot and super tasty . Service was a masterclass - delightfully genuine hospitality!! Can’t wait to return

We decided against breakfast in the hotel and ventured out to this iconic venue - a marvellous eatery, with a buzz, great service, great food, and great coffee. We had a range of food but my favourite was the avocado on toast - outstanding! Ditch the hotel breakfast next time, and dander to Harlem Cafe!

Great service, food was fantastic. I'll be definitely back (Harlam Irish Breakfast... brilliant)

A delightfully decorated cafe serving truly tasty breakfasts. We had an omelette with the best gluten free sour dough toast we've ever tried. Well worth getting in early to avoid waiting for a table.

What an afternoon, waited a bit for our table, but the, (and I apologise if I am throwing you in the shit here an exceptionally lovely manager gave us a free bottle of wine for our troubles, totally not necessary but greatly appreciated in the wino females in the group). Great food, lovely vibes top tier place. There's something about restaurants run by beautiful women...

Food was very fresh and delicious! Everything is made with passion. Definitely recommendable.

Service was really poor. We were celebrating my wifes birthday and we were looking forward to have a nice lunch. When we arrived we were told that they were not taking more orders has they had a wedding party to prep for even though its was only 1:30pm! Very poor service and will not be back.

Great food in a lovely place. We went for Sunday breakfast. It was really delicious. There was a queue outside, which we had to join, even though we had made a reservation. Sadly, that's the price of being a good eaterie. It's not overly expensive and the service is very attentive. There's no pressure to leave quickly, the breakfast menu covers anything you might like and the portion size means you don't go hungry. A popular place, and deservedly so.

Had brunch today with our book club. We had a table booked and were at the front of the line, about to be seated, when a few more members of our group arrived. When they came to join us, a front staff member rudely told them there was no room. I clarified that we had a booking (we were getting seated as this happened). This created an unpleasant atmosphere. That said, the food was lovely, and the female staff members were a delight. The place was very busy, and the organisation of customers waiting for tables could be improved, as it created us and staff unnecessary stress and a negative experience.

Excellent vibes and staff. Food - to die for. All In All very impressed!

Do not expect to be seated just because you have a reservation. We were booked in for 11:00, as it seemed were several other parties, but there were no tables available for any of us. We were all expected to wait by the door, whilst also rudely being told we were all in the servers' way. Half our party then had to wait outside. On several occasions we were lied to and told it would be "2 more minutes, we are cleaning a table now" whilst we could see that all tables were still full and none were being cleaned. It wasn't until 11:30 we were finally offered a table, and we were not served food until 12:00 (an hour after our initial booking). Upon receiving the bill, we asked for the 10% service charge to be removed given the wait, and when we went to pay the owner/manager asked "what was wrong with the service then?", and we replied "Well we weren't served food until an hour after our booking", and she simply quipped "oh well sorry, we're just so popular". Customers here are treated as an inconvenience, particularly if they have a booking, and the staff are very passive aggressive. Why accept bookings if you aren't going to seat them?

My friends and I had made a booking for 11am. Having arrived at 10.50am, we were only seated at 11.30am. Upon arrival, the entry was incredibly packed and we were chastised for “being in the way”, so half of our party had to wait outside. There was little acknowledgement of this fact and every ten minutes we were told “two more minutes”. After finally being seated, it then took another twenty five minutes to be served. Once our order was taken and the food delivered, we were not checked on once. The food itself was really good, but the atmosphere was certainly frosty. This is the second time we’ve experienced this issue with Harlem, and have flagged this issue previously and been told that it is because they are so popular and basically there is nothing they can do. Again, we were asked what our issue with the service was today and when we explained, they told us “it happens when we’re so busy”. Whilst the food is amazing, there are much better options when it comes to service.

The food is absolutely lovely, although perhaps a tad expensive. However we waited just over half an hour to be seated for a table we had booked, and were simply told to wait and we’re busy during this time. There was no apology or updates to the massive crowd of people who also had reservations, instead we were rudely told to move by staff who were trying to serve coffees to those already sat. When we eventually sat down the food came out relatively quickly, but this was still over an hour after our initial reservation. The food and drinks were lovely but we were then very surprised to have a 10% service change added to our bill, despite the over half an hour wait for our booked table. Of course we asked for this to be removed and we would tip what we thought was acceptable given the weight. This is the second time my group of friends have tried Harlem, and both times resulted in a very long wait for a pre-booked table so I definitely would not recommend this place at peak times (weekends).

Great place with quirky decor. Really nice food with big portion sizes. Would definitely go back.

This is a MUST DO brunch spot in Belfast. Delicious food (and big portions too), exceptional customer service (special mention to Fay who treats every customer like family), gorgeous interior and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Without doubt, the best breakfast I've ever had. Discovered this cafe from a recommendation from our concierge at a hotel we were staying. We had a short wait to be seated as we didn't book. The ambience was spot on and the decor was incredible

This was recommended to us and it didn’t disappoint. Great food, great atmosphere. Would go back.

Great experience here last night. Staff were excellent, Great food prepared freshly and to some rather tricky criteria. Lovely cocktail and a sheer pleasure. Thank you - it made our evening really special.

Great spot, real quirky & boho 🍽️

Lovely, quirky ambience, friendly staff, great food. Omelette is amazing value. Kids adores the pancakes. Coffee is good.

I loved this place, the ambience, pleasant staff and food quantity was worth the price 😁. I had their Luxurious Hot Chocolate which was creamy and chocolatey. Was thrilled to see the milk jug which came with my tea- milk poured straight from the Moo-Jug😅 I tried their Belfast Bap, the quantity was big , I couldn’t finish it all but was tasty . The onion and raisin sauce they used in it was flavourful . My boyfriend had their Bacon and cheese omelette served with sourdough bread. Felt it would be great to have some sauce or gravy to soak the dry side of the omelette which was otherwise great. Definitely going there again to try other dishes when I am in Belfast next.

Harlem is one of those places you visit and come away and think, that was a really great experience. We went for brunch on a Saturday morning and it was very busy. Luckily I booked a table for me and my friends. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. He had a bit of banter with us and made a fuss out of my friend as it was her birthday. Everything about our visit was brilliant, we'll definitely be going back!

FYI Top Tip if not been here before - if you go harlem for the first time, as a walk in and on your own, just stand by the please wait to be seated signed. Don't get confused when no one approachs you to ask if have a reservation or not and how many for the table, don't get confused if they call other people in the queue to table before you when they haven't spoken too you or them either. Don't ask questions or say sorry I was next in queue. Mostly, certainly don't try and explain when you are finally approached by the manager, that the waitress was quite abrupt when you said you were next in queue and you were just confused by the queuing process! If you do dare speak to the manager and waitress expect lots shoulder shrugging, oh well, I am one the nicest people in here, patronising explanation of the queuing system, and not my section anyway, we assumed you were with the other people. Oh and when you have been made to feel very uncomfortable and decide to get up leave and not eat there, expect the manager to do more shoulder shrugging and the waitress too say as you are leaving "if don't like it just leave and don't bring the atmosphere down" Good communication and just general friendless dont cost nothing

What a beautiful little spot. Decor and atmosphere is top class. Inviting but high end. Music that perfectly aligns and enhances the feeling even more. Staff and service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. Really delicious!! If you find yourself in Belfast be sure to check out this lovely cafe bar.

This place is stunning. We only.got toasted sandwiches but they were made in front of you. The tea was in a huge silver teapot and the decor was un real.. Expensive bit worth it.

Fantastic place for really good food and very friendly staff can't wait to go back

A place I would highly recommend for a top class breakfast and a bloody mary on a Sunday morning. Excellent decor, brilliant service and a privilege to experience

Really great food, nice ambience. Very busy spot. Let down by score on the door and despite having a booking we didnt have a good seat. Again thats maybe down to how busy it is. Some groups had to share a long table

Ten out of ten for breakfast in this busy eclectic spot. We were lucky to get a table on Sunday morning without queueing. Breakfast were big and beautiful...the All Day Breakfast, pancakes, the gigantic breakfast bap (not for the faint hearted) and a truly gorgeous avocado sourdough with smoked salmon and whipped cream cheese. It's a little on the pricier side but what we had was worth every penny. Probably the nicest breakfast I've had anywhere. I'll be back.

Best breakfast I’ve ever had very friendly and attentive been here a few times and when ever in Belfast here is the first place we make for.

Had brunch today with my girls for my birthday. The food was absolutely brilliant. Service amazing and the staff are just outstanding. They really made my day very special. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

Could not recommend Harlem highly enough. I was snow bound for an extra day in Belfast on my own and noticed a little queue outside Harlem and thought I'd join it. What a great decision. Lots of people had bookings but the friendly barista assured us we would get a table. Probably only waited 20 mins or so (coming up to midday on a Sunday) such a lovely atmosphere with terrific artwork everywhere not in the least bit. When I said I was on my own a lovely, super friendly woman told me a table for one would soon be available and what a table it was. I went for fried breakfast, delicious and well priced. Plenty of people were there for boozy brunch but there were lots of families too. Tea served in vintage silver pots. Really good value and so welcoming. As a final note the ladies' loo with fresh flowers, real candle and vintage armchairs was a super cheap, cosy space that would rival any luxury venue. Next time I'm in Belfast I'll definitely book. Wasn't too try the amazing looking Belfast Bap. Thanks Harlem for giving a solo traveller a fantastic breakfast and warmly memorable experience. Harlem is next to the Ulster Hall and the new Rory Gallagher statue. You won't be disappointed.

Queued for an hour to get in, the atmosphere was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our brunch. Others had booked and walked straight in so that’s something to remember for next time.

Absolutely great experience. Served courses are massive. 100% recommended

My partner and I had breakfast this morning (omlette and belfast bap), everything was perfect! Decor is stunning, food is delicious and huge portions, every member of staff is smiling and engaging - chatting with each customer. A lovely breakfast experience to kick off a cold and busy day in Belfast. Definitely recommend - come early to beat the crowds!

Best breakfast I’ve had in Ireland and that’s saying something. It was served piping hot and the quality of ingredients was top notch. I would recommend booking

Came here Friday morning got myself a toasted sourdough with sausage and scrambled eggs. It was lovely the portion was so big and couldn't finish it all unfortunately It was very busy so make sure to keep that in mind if you visit. Yummy food! Worth a try

We arrived in Belfast early and I seen this had good reviews so went there for 9am we were about 5th couple through the door and given a lovely table right up the back in the big sofa tables. The table, staff and food were excellent and the staff deserve a special mention for the smiles and friendliness. My wife would also like to compliment them on their female toilet cleanliness as well as the selection of well-being products was a lovely touch. Highly recommended on a place for breakfast to set your trip and day up on the right footing.

A venue with real style and charm. Eclectic decor, real candles, and breakfast cocktails - it's a place apart. There is a very good choice of breakfast food and drink. I had a vegan breakfast, which was both tasty and filling. The coffee is terrific too. I'd recommend booking in advance as it can get very busy. Friendly helpful staff, led by owner Faye. Definitely worth a visit!

Quirky and not to everyone's taste, but I like it. If you order a full fry, you can tell that the meat ingredients come from a butcher rather than a wholesaler and that other parts are made on site. I can't stand baked beans, so when I said no beans they automatically piled on the mushrooms without having to be asked. How many places still serve tea in silver teapots? The cow shaped milk jugs are a really fun touch too. It's a mix of so many styles, but somehow they manage to make them gel brilliantly.

Fantastic spot, would highly recommend. The food was great, the band playing was great and the customer service was excellent. There was a bit of a line to get in, but it was well worth the wait.

Ah, Harlem Café in Belfast – like a 1950s diner, but with fewer poodle skirts and more craft coffee. The food? Decent enough to convince you that life’s not entirely pointless, and the staff? As cheery as a squirrel on a caffeine binge. The décor’s charmingly retro, like someone’s gran’s living room, only with less knitting. It’s the kind of place where you’re not sure if you’ve stepped into the past, or just into a quirky dream where the toast is always perfect. A delight, if you enjoy a bit of organised chaos with your eggs.

The food was lovely however the service was genuinely awful. This cafe was recommended on google so we tried it. Upon entering we were barely greeted and a staff member then just waved us on without as much as a hello. He walked way ahead and set cutlery on the table and walked away again before we even got to the table - without speaking a word or so much as a hello to us. The staff taking our orders were decent however it then took 20 25 minutes just for us to get our coffees while a bigger group who just came in got their coffees a few minutes later and again once the staff came over with them they barely spoke, and again when they served our food. They snatched our empty plates without speaking again, and not once did any member ask if the food was nice/ anything wrong. As servers ourselves, we were genuinely so disappointed and disgusted with the service. Staff was not attentive at all, rude and dismissive, we felt quite ignored and unwelcomed the entire time we were there. Such a shame because the food was nice but the service was so terrible we will never be returning - A simple greeting or smile couldve easily changed this review.

Gorgeous breakfast here with 2 friends, absolutely delicious and the staff were very helpful with gluten free menu.

The best breakfast in Belfast. Faye and her team couldn't do enough for us.

Had breakfast which was delicious and so beautifully presented. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Fab atmosphere even on a Wednesday morning. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food , full of flavour. Such a friendly vibe. Staff were so helpful and accommodating. ❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch in Harlem,the only thing that spoilt it for me was the music which was much too loud,l was having a reunion with friends I hadn't seen in several years but unfortunately we couldn't hear what each other was saying,other than that everything was good with excellent staff,just hope the next time I visit the music won't be so loud.

Lovely meal and ambience in this place with great selection of music in the background... Great menu, well worth a visit...

Loved our brunch at the Harlem. The staff were welcoming and attentive. The service was swift and the food very tasty. I had the full Irish breakfast which filled me for most of the day. Coffee was good too. The Harlem has a relaxed bohemian vibe and had a steady flow of customers during our visit. Whilst we were able to arrive and get a table straight away, we did pass by the following day and see a queue. It’s obviously popular.

Nice spot for breakfast, very good portion sizes and good coffees. Reccommend booking in advance for breakfast as it gets busy.

Had a booking for 11 and wasn’t spoken to by staff until 11:15, there was a big queue and people where cutting in front that didn’t have bookings and saying they did. While staff were very friendly, I think they need to be more organised when people are waiting. People sitting at tables of six when only two people meaning others couldn’t sit there even if they had a bigger party. Food was good however should be warned before putting pine nuts on food

This place is one of my favorite places to visit when I go to Belfast. I cannot recommend it enough. Everything from the food and the staff to the interiors and overall vibe was fantastic. Despite having the wait about 10 minutes for a table, the staff acknowledged us straight away and kept us in the loop. They were super friendly and attentive and the wait for food was not long. I had the full Irish breakfast and my friend had scrambled eggs & mushrooms on toast. We could not find one fault or piece of developmental feedback. It was absolutely delicious. They use fresh products and serve it on lovely crockery. The interiors of this place are just spectacular, no matter what direction you look, there’s something eye catching to look at. Every inch of the place was spotless. The owner moves around the restaurant with a great aplomb and her customer service skills are top notch. She checked back on every table in the place and did it in such a way that made every table feel like they were at home at Harlem. It’s evident that she shows great pride in what she does and cares about her customers and her staff. I cannot wait for my next visit!

Very random and trendy design, the food and service is excellent though! Staff are really friendly and happy to accommodate all tastes

Buzzing atmosphere, attentive staff, quirky decor. Faultless food. The owner attending every single table more than once to make sure everyone was happy. It had a real family feel. The food was hot, came quickly despite it being rammed and we only had to wait about 15 mins for a table on a very busy Christmas Saturday. Would highly recommend.

Right from the moment we entered we were welcomed by Faye and her staff. We thought "Boy has this place got a good vibe" and we were correct. The service was prompt, efficient and friendly. The food was superb. It is obvious that a lot of love and attention goes into making this restaurant the success it is. Attention to detail and in particular attention to the customer is to the fore. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great place, friendly staff and fabulous food! Queue to get in, always a good sign, worth the wait for a great breakfast.

Some friends had been to this place on Friday morning when it was relatively quiet. They suggested we go again on Saturday as they had liked it so much but agreed we would not wait if there was a queue. So we were very pleasantly surprised when we went in shortly after 10 on a Saturday to find that there was no queue for tables at all. The five of us were seated quickly at a quirky glass topped table, underneath which was a display of shells and starfish - very quirky. The restaurant quickly got very busy and by the time we left there was a huge queue. The staff appeared very busy but were always apologetic and we were not in a hurry. We started with cocktails - bloody Marys for some, a bucks fizz for me. I had poached eggs on sourdough and asked for a sausage too - when it arrived it was about 4 times the size I was expecting. But was very tasty, as were the poached eggs which were poached to perfection. We also had teas and coffees and more drinks during the meal. All of us were very happy with our food choices, but the portions were huge. We had a great time here and will definitely come back next time we are in Belfast. I have seen some reviews mentioning loud music, this was not an issue during our visit. The staff were amazing and friendly and the whole ambience was lovely.

The food was phenomenal! I joined 5 friends while in town and we all raved over this restaurant! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. Love the fresh flowers and amazing live music! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Great hearty breakfast. Friendly staff, great service

I had French toast with Nutella and strawberries. Very good. Orange juice too but the service was embarrassing. I went in at opening time and was served half an hour later

I rarely leave reviews, but the appalling treatment my group and I received at Harlem has left me no choice. We booked a table for 8 people in advance for 11:00 AM, which I thought would guarantee a smooth and welcoming experience, especially given how important it is for restaurants to manage bookings with professionalism and courtesy. Unfortunately, nothing could have prepared us for the disgraceful level of service we encountered. Upon arrival, we were met with an unbelievably long queue—something I could somewhat understand for walk-ins, but as we had a booking, we expected to be seated without delay. After standing outside in the freezing cold for over 30 minutes, we were finally forced to ask twice about our reservation. After 35 minutes of waiting outside in a queue that had not moved, we were still not seated—had my sister not gone inside and insisted we be seated, I suspect we still wouldn’t have had a table. When we were finally seated, we were met by an owner who clearly had no understanding of hospitality. The hostility and lack of professionalism she displayed were nothing short of shocking. We were treated as though we were a nuisance, despite having a booking for 8 people, and were about to bring in a considerable amount of business for the restaurant. The owner's tone was dismissive, and rather than apologise for the delay, she made excuses, offering nothing but condescension. To make matters worse, after we had been seated and were in the process of ordering, the same owner had the audacity to ask us to leave—after we had waited in the cold for over half an hour! I cannot begin to fathom how a business can operate with such blatant disregard for customers. This, alongside several other customers complaining about long wait times despite having made reservations, highlighted an overall systemic issue in managing bookings. As a 20-week pregnant woman, standing for such an extended period in the cold was not only physically uncomfortable but downright unreasonable. I booked a table precisely to avoid such a situation, and no customer should ever have to go through what we did. As someone who also owns businesses in hospitality and retail, I can confidently say that if there was ever an issue in my establishment, I would immediately apologise, keep my customers informed, and ensure they were treated with respect. Clearly, that is a concept lost on the owner of Harlem. My recommendation to Harlem is clear: either stop accepting bookings if you are unable to honour them, or—at the very least—implement a proper system where tables are allocated within specific timeframes, as any reputable restaurant in the city does. And a simple gesture like a smile and a warm greeting wouldn’t hurt either, especially considering that your customers are the ones funding your business. In short, my experience at Harlem was disastrous, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone. Customer service is key in this industry, and Harlem’s blatant disregard for its customers is unforgivable.

Honestly the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in Belfast. They have no system of checking who has a booking or not. Stood outside for fifteen minutes waiting to get in and had to eventually push through to let them know we had a booking. When we were eventually sat down and had ordered they then made us move to another table. Sat for over 40 minutes with no food or service for more drinks. Had to flag down a staff member and then it took another 15 minutes to get out food. The food was bland and not worth the wait at all. Would not recommend!

Bunch of AAA travel agents went here for dinner and we all agreed that our meals we had was fantastic. Highly recommend it for food, atmosphere and service. I will return!! ❤️ It was EXCEPTIONAL!!

Enjoyed a large breakfast, the sausage is to die for. Very friendly staff and atmosphere is chilled

We always stop off the lunch when staying over in Belfast. Brilliant atmosphere, great Halloween vibes 🎃 food so tasty, presentation showed much love and attention to detail, great welcome as always from the lovely bubbly and friendly Faye.

The food was good, but one the female waitresses short blonde ponytail was so rude and ruined my day

The decor in this coffee shop is lovely, but our experience with the service left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We came as a family of five without a reservation, willing to wait and fully understanding that people with reservations would be prioritized. However, even after 40 minutes of waiting, several groups who arrived after us were seated first. The owner apologized 3 times but still nothing changed. When a family of five who arrived much later was about to be seated at the table we’d been waiting for, I approached the waiter to remind her that we were next. She told me they had a reservation and refused to give us the table—even though we had been waiting longer. Only when that family graciously intervened and insisted we were first and they didn’t have a booking, did the waiter give us the table. Later, when I ordered tap water, the waiter misheard it as "butter," which was understandable. But when I clarified, she started correcting my accent in a way that felt dismissive and unnecessary. While the interior is nice, the service left us feeling as if we weren’t valued. Sadly, we couldn’t shake the feeling that the treatment we received may have been influenced by our foreign background. This experience left us very disappointed and they still charged us an extra 10% service fee because we were more than 3 people.

Best brunch in Belfast! Staff great, not just large portions but great tasting food. Love the interior decor too. Nice to have somewhere that isn't your usual stripped back Scandi look.

Saturday morning quite busy. We had a nice table, but service is not quite fast … Full Irish breakfast very nice

The Croque Madame was delicious. Liked the atmosphere in here a lot as well. We were hoping to get back and try their lunch menu as well, but ran out of time before we were able to come back.

We waited about 1.5 hours, but it was totally worth it! We ordered the Vegan Breakfast with added poached eggs, and everything was absolutely delicious. The place has a gorgeous vibe, and the service was amazing. Thank you to the entire team!

Class breakfast,very good vibes, and nice staff.

Elegant and artistic flamboyance layout, electronic music, simple menu well executed. Good vibes.

Incredible place for food, atmosphere, decor, ambience, amazing friendly service. Cannot wait for my next visit!!

Waited 45 minutes for a table before giving up no staff approached to acknowledged we where even there no thanks 😒

Found this little diamond of a place on our first morning of a three day stay. So good we came back every single day for breakfast because it is simply fantastic. Friendly, unobtrusive but efficient service from the lads and lasses who work there and some lovely food (portions are huge so make sure you're hungry!!!). They only do evening meals at weekends so can't comment on anything but their breakfast menu. I wish you were near where I live because you'd get sick of seeing me, lol.

Dog friendly. Harlem is a beautiful spot in Belfast. We stopped in for brunch on a weekend and were pleasantly surprised. All the staff were lovely and couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and we'll looked after.

Crowed but worth the queue! Tasty toast, great Irish breakfast and lovely French toast Decoration is eclectic and gives a friendly atmosphere

Beautiful, quirky interior. Staff were very pleasant. The opening hours seemed to be a bit inconsistent (potential customers were being told that it's closed in the evening contradictory to their listed opening hours). Their food was OK. Great vibes.

The service and seating are excellent, but the food there is much better

Fantastic little brunch spot, this was my third visit to Harlem over the years and it didn’t disappoint😄 great atmosphere, the staff are brilliant and the food is delicious. It gets very busy so I would always advise to book! Gorgeous vibe and the decor is quirky and unique! The owner (sorry I didn’t catch her name) is lovely, really in touch with her customers and comes round to check how everything is! Will definitely be returning on my next trip to Belfast💚

Waited 40 minutes for a table. Got seated in front of entrance right beside the please wait here sign. Was not the most comfortable dining experience. Food didn’t come as ordered. Was offered no condiments for my meal. Made to feel like second rate customer.

A cafe in the center of Belfast. The inside of the store is very stylish. Ordered an Irish breakfast. The portions are plentiful, the sausages are crispy, and the unique Irish soda bread is also very delicious. There was so much tea that I couldn't drink it all.

Food lovely but expensive for what you got !

Luckily we got a free table soon. Great food and quick service.

Stood for 10 minutes with the kids, nobody even acknowledged us

A brilliant gem of a place. Food, staff, and atmosphere was amazing. If u fancy a wee tipple with ur breakfast The Harlem Cafe is the place to go. The owner Faye is so down to earth and a smile ray of sunshine. I will defo recommend this place to everyone.

Such a good spot and good food.

Both my wife and I had the grilled salmon with noodles. The salmon was prepared perfectly and the servers were great.

Great omelette!! Be there early on Saturday for breakfast, as the queue is out the door (indicating how popular the place is)

What an amazing place to go for brunch! I can highly recommend the Irish breakfast 👌

Everything was so good! Had never though of a bacon and Brie omelette before but the combo is amazing. The croque madam is so tasty. Coffee wasn’t my favorite but definitely wasn’t bad. Overall I would definitely come again.

Terrible people and not public friendly
