Jack Coffee Bar in Belfast

Almost closing and leaving everyone in the lurch.

Great place, very family friendly

Lovely relaxing cafe and staff very pleasant

Enjoyed a wee visit here recently on a foggy day in Belfast. Great coffee and good selection of tray bakes including vegan carrot cake and vegan sausage rolls. Clean toilets with baby changing and very cute quirky decor. Lots of info on local history (unbiased also) for locals and tourists alike.

Lovely dog friendly place with the best chai tea in town.

Staff are very kind and friendly, coffee is exceptional. Great place to stop after visiting c.s Lewis square.

Maybe it was the end of the working day, but the tables weren't cleared of dirty dishes, uneaten pieces of food, etc. Some interesting information on the area is available.

Nice views out over Cs Lewis square, especially on such a rainy day

Myself and my friend came here for coffee. The coffee was lovely and very reasonably priced but the staff member who served us was rather unenthusiastic and not very friendly which was disappointing but as I say coffee was good. Plenty of seating over two floors which was good. First time here and probably wouldn’t return but I’m glad I checked it out.

Call in there when cycling on the Greenway, great wee coffee stop... AND they do discount if you've cycled there

The coffee was absolutely stunning ,hip trendy place ,with happy staff

A lovely space in East Belfast. Plenty of seating (didn't realise there is lots of seating upstairs until a visit to the toilet!). Nicely decorated and the coffee was great. Definitely go here if you love a creamy, velvety Matcha!

Love this place. Bright and airy, for your pitstop for coffees and traybakes. Good spot for local tourist info too, and comfy seating inside, picnic furniture for outside. Plenty of bike park spaces outside too. Young staff. Coffee good.

Has been a while since we visited Jack's Coffee Bar. However we were grateful that it had not changed in any way. Great coffee and pleasant staff.

Friendly service, good cake, lots of information on the walls and in booklets. Good to stop here if visiting CS Lewis Square

Staff very pleasant but was hoping for a scone.

A relaxed place for a sit down and a coffee.

A great little coffee house based at the iconic C S Lewis Square in East Belfast. Friendly staff and very comfortable surroundings

Bring your Jacks to Jack Coffee Bar. Friendly staff and good food.

Open Mike night only thig spoilt it was kids should not be there running round or performing

Great coffee and comfy vibes. We chose the vegan flapjack, it wasn't the best, however the rest looked fabulous!

Lovely place to have tea, buns and a catch up with friends

Excellent spot. Clean .airy fantastic displays.a cultural hub

Poetry reading .Brain injury matters.belfast council..Dreams Passerine!.,.three toes in the future,one toe in the past ,Roger kane,Rab McClelland faces from the past is there a shared future ? Poetry is an art,so is properly made coffee.the entertainer with guitar.ignored in part by clientele but music rang out through the chattering swell. Black bird bye bye. RJS

Worst service ever. 10mins for 2 coffee's. Starbucks from now on, even McDonald's is quicker

The dirty chai latte was really delicious, seldom had a hot drink this tasty :)

A little on the pricey side but lovely coffee shop and outdoor seating and nice, friendly staff. :)

Possibly the worst Latte ever! It was tasteless & cold. The quality of their stock is just average & fairly overpriced for all you get. The staff are extremely pretentious & will ignore you for as long as possible. There was four of them at the counter, two were fiddling about on their phones & the other two gossiping in the corner. I stood there for what felt like a lifetime & eventually had to make my presence known myself. The two of their phones weren't phased & passed the buck onto another girl. When she took my order she was very blunt because I'd disturbed their little break. They appear to have no customer service skills whatsoever & don't say hello, please, thankyou or goodbye. To finish it off whilst I was sitting outside trying to enjoy my rubbish coffee a "alternative" staff member kept blowing clouds of vape fumes in my direction which isn't overly present at the best of times. I've cycled by this place for years wondering what it's like & now I know. I won't be back in a hurry unless I'm utterly desperate!

Good service . friendly staff .Best coconut milk latte in Belfast.Very nice inside.

Great atmosphere, full of artwork and interesting reading matter. Lovey staff and cafe.

Friendly staff and there is seating outside

Nice place for coffee and cakes at the CS Lewis square. There is discount for NHS staff and other groups.

Relaxed, good coffee, upstairs books and gallery to peruse. Laid back vibes.

Cosy and unique coffee shop beside Lewis Square and alongside Connswater walkway

Coffee good. Cortado especially. Indoor and outdoor seating. Vegan sausage rolls edible too, even for carnivores. Also lots of info about East Belfast area.

Great little cosy coffee shop in the East.

Was looking forward to a warm coffee on a cold day but was directed to sit outside on a cold November day. No tables inside except coffee bar seating which for some reason I was not allowed to sit on. Won't be back and would not recommend.

Super staff and even better flat whites mmm

The coffee pre lockdown here was a-maz-ing. Not sure what's happened but it now needs sugar to improve the taste. There were more staff than customers and still the floors were littered with corn chip debris from previous customs. I am hoping it was a one off because thus place used to be top notch and well worth a visit.

JACK is a great little find. The cakes and hot chocolate were delicious. The best I've had in a long time. They have a selection of plant based milks. Staff were friendly and helpful. We used the lovely outdoor seating are. JACK is pet friendly, water, treats, and frozen yoghurt are their for four legged friends.

Tea & cake, what's not to like.

Expensive coffee +biscuit stop, £5.25. A bit soulless, no ambience. It used to be buzzing with people, but seems to lack any character about it now. Maybe it's the times we're in.

Coffee under the watchful eyes of Aslan!

Excellent coffee, best caramel squares in Belfast

Nice atmosphere really relaxing. Coffee very good and excellent service.

I like the fact its light and when it's not raining you can sit outside

Great coffee, good food and puppy treats.

Nice little cafe with outdoor seating at the end of a good walk from Orangefield. Great scones & coffee but I'd like to see some more lunch options.

Good coffee. Helpful staff. No rush.

In my opinion is the best Coffe Shop ..beautiful staff and excellent costumer service ..I try in many cofee shops coconut latte ..there is the best! 5🌟 well done.

Not really a fan..coffee expensive compared to other cafes.

Really good atmosphere and a great place for a smoothie or hot chocolate (even in the heat).

Delicious vegan sausage rolls and vegan meatball marinara ciabatta

Beautiful cappuccino and gorgeous caramel square 😋

Good coffee, delicious breakfast baps - great to cap off an early morning walk on the Greenway! Efficient one way system going on.

Got a good one way system going for covid, the choice is good, not expensive. My only reason for dropping a star would be a slow service, but they are friendly and helpful.

Great coffee and food choices, plenty of vegan options

Great coffee and caramel square. Average panini and dour staff!

Amazing coffee and amazing staff

Always the go to for coffee and a sausage roll. Hot choc delicious too

Very good coffee. Had a cappuccino and immediately felt a solid appreciation for the taste. It's right next to a big public square, so it's perfect to buy a coffee to go and take in the sun. If the outdoors is not your thing, they have a huge bookshelf with a take one, replace one policy. Perfect place for the lazy afternoons that you want to read a book.

Great place to start or finish a C S Lewis exploration. The upstairs recounts some of N.I.'s famous celebrities

friendly service, nice coffee and bites, plenty of space to sit outside... and our favourite "pedal perks" discount for cyclists (which is why we love to cycle down here!). also love their kombucha!

For a feast in the East this is the beest

Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, main drawback was the limited range of food (baps and baguettes) however I would guess that's due to more focus on the "hot drinks" side of things. Unfortunately the mochas weren't great (not much taste of chocolate or coffee) and the prices were a touch on the high side for how much there was...

Outstanding staff coffee food cold drinks hot chocolate and did I mention the staff extremely professional warm welcoming service outstanding!!!!!

Friendly service, good coffee, nice cakes, excellent location and view - and 15% off for cyclists! 😉

Good coffee on the Newtownards Road again. Lockdown just the it less worse.

Nice and cozy place to have a little break

Great location with nice coffee and buns.

It's a great place! amazing food, nice coffee and beautiful atmosphere 😍 It's a must go every weekend! unfortunately most of the time I've found the staff not so friendly. More like that is the last place they want to be in and you are the last person they want to see. That's a pity because is such a great place and it would be nice to feel a bit more welcome. (they call it hospitality for a reason) p.s. the guys in the restaurant, to the other side of the coffee shop are AMAZING! 😁

Lovely welcome and lovely scones!

Love the cafe for a quiet cup of tea and a lovely tray bake. Easy to sit here alone and watch the world go by or catch up with friends.

El personal es pobre y, por lo que escuché de las personas que trabajaron allí anteriormente, tampoco se caen bien y, como resultado, el ambiente no es excelente. Hace algunos años, he tenido algunas buenas experiencias con un tipo increíble que me regaló una bolsa de hojas de té para Navidad cuando en cualquier otro lugar estaba cerrado o agotado (SERVICIO AL CLIENTE INCREÍBLE), pero parece que ha ido cuesta abajo a lo grande. El café está bien, Lewis Square es un lugar agradable bajo el sol, y si quieres un café mejor que Macdonalds al otro lado de la carretera, es genial, pero no iría a menos que esté allí y desesperado. Las bandejas horneadas y los panqueques tampoco son demasiado impresionantes, de hecho, el panqueque que tenía mi abuelo era como cartón.

Me encuentro regularmente con clientes y amigos en el JAck para un café de calidad y un asiento cómodo. Muchos puntos de recarga considerados para gente de negocios y una perspectiva pacífica sobre la recientemente renovada plaza CS Lewis

Excellent food... great friendly and helpful staff....enjoyed by everyone

Great staff and a nice location. I really enjoy the coffee and the arts and crafts for sale.

Great cafe in the East Side visitors centre on CS Lewis Square. Great coffee and a range of snacks/lunch food. Good for working too as upstairs is usually fairly quiet. Has a range of local artwork and products for sale too.

A regular haunt in East Belfast. Chatty staff and Raspberry & White Chocolate Scones the size of the side plates.

Always a good place to get s good coffee and a bite to eat. Friendly staff. Nice place

Dog friendly (on the ground floor)

Raspberry pancake and lovely taste of cappunico

Great wee place and coffee was good as well

Great Venue in a superb location! I meet clients here several times a week. The staff are very accommodating, the coffees great and there are food items little and large to suit all. Highly recommend!

Great brunch poached eggs and avocado and aromatic coffee. Cheers

Nice coffee and a sit down after walking the river path. Also has CDs and books for sale that relate to that area of Dublin.

A great place to stop off for a coffee and bun while walking round the cs Lewis square and also visiting the visitor centre as well. I have tried some pastries and they are delicious and served with a smile. A def recommend

Nice looking place but slow & inexperienced staff didn’t make it a good visit. Nothing on offer for my friend who requires gluten free food. Overpriced as well. Don’t think I would go back!

Lovely place friendly staff good coffer :)

Since they have changed ownership a couple of months ago, the service has been really poor, the coffee quality is very bad compared to what they have been using previously, their prices has been increased and the overall value for money is not appealing as it used to be. I really loved this place and its staff members as we used to pay a visit almost every day, but now we're coming to this coffee shop approximately once a month just for the remainder of the reason we don't like this place anymore. Very much disappointed and like to see improvements ASAP.

It’s a good coffee shop, it has a lovely atmosphere and staff but the prices are ridiculous. £2.00 for a ton of Diet Coke and £3.00 for a brownie. Ridiculous. May as well be in a fancy restaurant!!!

Waitress was completely unwelcoming bordering on aggressive. I should have followed my instinct and left right away. Food and coffee was cold when she eventually brought it to our table. The entire place is grubby and the upstairs area has an institutional feel. I wanted to complain at the time but my companion did not want to fuss. Food, coffee, staff, service and overall impression was a complete letdown so take my advice and go elsewhere.

Had a nice Americano coffee with a heated pork and apple sausage roll. Slightly pricey but nice staff and a good location. Give me a like if you found this helpful.

The coffee shop has been taken over in recent months and in my opinion greatly improved. The extended menu counter offering are great and superb quality. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable which creates a warm friendly atmosphere. The girls Steph and Leah are fun loving and always up for a bit of craic.

Lovely meeting place, exhibition and creatives performance space. A sanctuary in a busy city shopping area. Food coffee and cakes are exceptional too.

Nice little coffee bar. It's part of East Belfast. Visitors Centre at C S Lewis square on the junction of Newtownards Road and Hollywood Road. Shop is filled with local craft, literature and music all available to buy and there is an art gallery upstairs. Nearby is the sculpture of C S Lewis and "the Wardrobe" and also a wonderful large sculpture of Aslan the lion. Highly recommended.

Prices too high. I'll stick with Clements.

Great vibe. Lots going on. Helpful info available for visitors to Belfast. Great coffee.

My first time here and hopefully not my last. The Square(round) is a fantastic space and the statues are great. The cafe had delicious food and attentive staff.... we spoke to four enthusiastic workers who couldn't have been more helpful... particularly Marty. When we finished lunch we viewed an excellent exhibition. Strongly recommend a visit.

Brilliant little coffee shop. Great coffee, delicious creamy cakes and dog friendly with lots of interesting books to read. I mean what else could you want from a coffee shop
