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.

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!

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.

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.

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💚

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.

Harlem Cafe is very impressive in its decor, from the tables to the paintings, everything is just wow. It honestly feels like you have stepped back in time! The food is quite generous in its portions (which is a good thing!). I had the Bacon & Brie omelette, which comes with 2 slices of sourdough bread, butter, and a mini rocket salad. I made the mistake of also ordering a sausage with my omelette, but it was way too much food. The omelette was really tasty, and so were the sausage, the bread,and the coffee. I definitely recommend Harlem Cafe. However, the queue to get in the cafe gets quite long, so make sure you go at a good time!

Best breakfast I have had in Belfast so far! Went for the Harlem All Day Irish Breakast, and I must say, you can tell the chef loves what he does. The fried egg just hit different! The potato bread and soda bread were incredible as well. To be honest, everything was just spot on! We were lucky to get a table as soon after we were seated, the place was full, and there was a queue going out the door! If you want to start your day with a decent breakfast, then look no further than Harlem Cafe!

Surprised by the positive reviews for this place. We went on a Saturday (no booking) and it was just chaotic. There was a massive queue which wasn’t being attended to. I don’t think it made any difference to have made reservations cause people had to wait for their table anyway. There didn’t seem to be a manager or person in charge/front of house. Staff were all doing their own thing. The food and drink is overpriced for the quality - I got a full English which was similar to what you’d get at Wetherspoons but more than double the price. Wouldn’t go again nor recommend.

Bacon &,.brie omelette was bland and tasteless, sourdough toast was very hard,toasted on 1 side only, black pudding was bone dry and crumbling,no moisture..asked for water when ordering and it never came..place was buzzing even at 11.am but music blaring far too loud for breakfast and made chatting not so easy..very expensive at £13.50 for a full cooked breakfast plus extra for tea ..and poor quality food to match on this first and last visit.too many tables squeezed in meant passing diners constantly brushed against my chair. Aargh!

Went for breakfast. Food was excellent and if anything, the serve was too big and neither of us could finish. Coffee was amongst the top three I’ve had in the UK. I think it was down to the roast and mixed origin that gave it the perfect acidity and taste.

The Harlem Cafe is the perfect breakfast or lunch spot in downtown Belfast, located just a couple blocks from the City Hall, and nearby to the city centre. There is indoor and outdoor dining, with rustic seating and many pieces of art hanging on the walls. The service is friendly, helpful, and attentive. During this visit, I enjoyed the toasted sourdough with smoked salmon and fried eggs. It was plenty and they give you a bountiful serving of the smoked salmon. I also enjoyed a double espresso with the meal.

We headed here for breakfast after an overnight stay in Belfast. We waited a few minutes for a table which is expected. When we were seated the table it ended up taking about 20 minutes to have our order taken but it was very busy! The food was incredible. My husband had a fry and I had the scrambled egg, mushroom and toast, we couldn't fault it. The coffee was one of the best we have had. A great breakfast, a good service, the staff were all so friendly and welcoming and there was a fantastic atmosphere. Would 100% recommend

Beautiful café with a delicious traditional irish breakfast and many more options!! This café was a highlight to my family’s trip to Belfast. We came here for breakfast and every dish we ordered was very well plated and tasted delicious, both savory and sweet breakfast plates. They have a gluten free toast option as well as vegan options to support most diets. If you need substitutions they were very friendly with working out dietary restrictions. As an American, we were still getting used to the regular service so we weren’t used to asking for the bill and figured it was an us thing vs a service thing. The atmosphere was beautiful. They played modern music but it was a little loud so we had to talk quite loud to hear each other at the table. Other than the music being loud, we have little complaints about this café.

My partner and I arrived in Belfast and went straight here for breakfast because of the amazing reviews we had heard. We waited about 10 minutes for a table which we were happy to do. The atmosphere and decor were really great but the food was a bit of a let down. I had the French toast which was ok but not the best. My partner had the Feta cheese and sourdough with poached eggs. Unfortunately his eggs were extremely over cooked. I wouldn’t rush back here for food but the coffee was great!

Staying at the Belfast Travelodge so needed to forage for breakfast. I decided to try the Harlem Cafe and I’m very glad I did. I received a cheerful greeting and was asked “Do you need a coffee? I certainly did! Breakfast was sourdough toast, scrambled eggs and a sausage. What a sausage (see picture) ! The scrambled eggs were perfect-certainly cooked to order. I’m heading there tomorrow morning for a full Irish to fuel me up for a day’s travelling.

A truly memorable experience from start to finish. The dining area is a world of its own, quirky and unique. The team are warm and welcoming, and the service is genuine. However, the star of the show is the food on the plate. Each ingredient is fresh and cooked to perfection, and the black pudding is like no other tasted before. If you visit Belfast, make sure you don't miss out on a 5-star dining experience.
