Lava House in Belfast

Visited here for breakfast as we’d seen it had good reviews. It was quite empty when we arrived but tables soon started to be filled. The playlist was fantastic and I have to say, aside from the lovely flowers on the tables, this was the best thing about our visit. The man serving us was miserable, the service was slow, our food sat on the pass for quite some time, my toasted bagel was literally shown the toaster, and the sausages were over cooked and quite flavourless and by the time the food arrived my partner’s tea had gone cold. Around 30 mins for a sausage and bacon bap, when there were only another 2 or 3 tables (one of which had already been served) was a long wait. Probably wouldn’t revisit which is a shame as it looked lovely from the outside!

Excellent breakfast, really delicious and good value for money.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff, fair prices and great food.

the customer service was the best i’ve ever seen, the staff was kind and the food was the best i’ve ever tasted. this will definitely be the 1st place i’d go to for food

It's the worst restaurant I've ever been to in the morning for breakfast but now my stomach hurts so much and I saw the guy at the bar sticking his finger in his nose.

This place used to be great but the standards have dipped massively. They never answer their phone when there is an issue with food quality or delivery and it's an incredibly sad situation to see, given this was such a nice place. I wouldn't waste your money if you want food that is warm, on time and decent quality. Also it's impossible to speak to any of the staff as their phone line is constantly 'engaged'

Visited this place 2 times when i was in belfast this week it does a great breakfast very good place to eat

Okay breakfast. Quite uninterested / rude staff.

Great coffee shop with the sweetest ladies working to make you happy! This was our go to spot for coffee on our 15 day trip! Ps. Get a gourmet sausage roll!

Great cafe, used this for breakfast every day we were over. Ulster fry was spot on, price a bit in the steep side compared to other local places

Great craic, great grub, sound staff & nice place overall 🤝

Unfortunately the lady who works there is a bit rude and grimmy all the time. It’s like I wasn’t welcome there. The food is not a bad quality and the coffee is okay too but the service is really bad. It’s all about the smile and being friendly.

Exceeded expectations. Highly recommend! Svetlana is a rock star!

Great value, great food, great service, great ambience. Came here for breakfast, I had the smoked salmon and poached eggs on sour dough toast, it was lovely, the coffee was spot on, thank you would recommend.

Love the porridge, herbal tea and chai latte here. However, on two occasions the garnish in porridge was different. The French toast could also have been better. But worth the price

Iceland burgers and fries and onion rings. 100 Iceland. Not qaluity.

UPDATE: I will not be returning here until the man here stops abusing his wife , treating her like a slave.and being a total misogynist to the other woman. Was relaxing, well designed, comfortable place with friendly service, great food! Super super super!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I sooo hate to say this 😭 but I have trouble walking ,am completely alone and the height of the one step going in is very hard for me to navigate. I will not stop going there EVER until I move from this area. Last time, I got a finger stuck in the door hinge as I tried to hang on to something while holding the door open. THAT'S how good Lava House is.

Lovely place to be. Food tasty, services pleasant, bills reasonable for that area. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little cafe the food was lovely

Food was beautiful, staff were lovely highly recommend

I heard this is a great spot. Il be in soon.

I came here for lunch as I was passing by. You order at the counter and then take a seat. I ordered an Italian Panini which was OK in quality but was relatively cold by the time it was served to me. The problem is that there is one person at the counter for taking orders and delivering the orders to the tables. I could see my panini sitting there for ages before it was served. Excellent value for money.

place nice and clean hot drinks awesome !! keep the good work guys💪

Food was decent quite expensive , service ok but had to pay and extra 2.50 for 2 slices of toast on breakfast

So expensive so not go. £2:50 for toast after you buy a fry

Highly recommended place where to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. Absolutely relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.

Went on a lovely date with my roommates boyfriend and ordered a Caesar salad and a 6oz and he ordered the bacon and lentils soup with a barbeque burger. Both the starters and the mains for our course were delicious and would happily come again for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Fry was absolutely beautiful and the staff are very friendly.

Walking around the city centre we stopped for a coffee. We enjoyed the good Lavazza espresso and the chocolate and coconut cake sitting at the table inside. Friendly place and staff.

hervorragend für ein schnelles Frühstück

Always very tasty food for great prices. Good amount of choices on the menu. Staff are friendly and good service. Great spot for some tasty food at a cheap price. Would recommend!!

Probably the best coffee in town and not overpriced! Amazing desserts, friendly staff!

Breakfast was delicious! At a reasonable price! The omelette was really good! And a good portion as well! Definitely recommend it

Good service. Coffee was good, food OK. My partner had a breakfast bap which was nice, I had poached eggs with salmon and avocado, asked if bread was toasted and I was told it was (it wasn't), avocado was not very ripe, salmon and poached eggs were good. Mine was overpriced.

Quite a nice breakfast. Had a large fry, there is option to remove any item you do not like and replace it, nice view out the window.

Not my first choice of restaurant... The food was mediocre and the dining room was pretty dark. The fish and chips were ok but the carbnara was the best thing that we got here. Good if you want something quicker.

Large fry was tasty only thing is you get a 1/4 soda, pancake & half a potato bread this is less than what I expected for a large fry everything else was great and the service is excellent. Will definitely be back.

The food was good, shame as the service totally spoiled our visit. The staff was rude and I was charged for the wrong table, when I asked for the receipt the blonde girl said that she couldn't give me one as she had to accept it first. (I have worked in hospitality as a waitress and then manager for 16 years and never heard such a thing before) she then gave me the difference back in cash, visibly angry as it wasn't fault. I would advise your staff to maybe double check with customer before charging and perhaps not to take it on the customer for their mistakes as they can happen, but there's no need to be rude! When I went to the counter, she didn't even look at me and said: it's X amount in total. She had no idea where I was seating and what we eat. Worst service ever experienced.

Exceptional fry breakfast, sausages cooked to perfection! Highly recommend

A cosy and calm cafe which is a rare find in this area of Belfast. Chicken burger and beef panini were nice and fresh. Staff was attentive and friendly

Just a simple breakfast for us but very clean and nicely carpeted cafe Food and coffee / tea all lovely and prompt

Very tasty food. Great place for breakfast 🥞

I loved the foot delicious and filling

Grim experience all round. Ordered on deliveroo at half 11 didn't get our order till half 1. Normally not a massive issue for food to be late but the fact I called the restaurant 15 times to ask what was happening with no answer speaks volumes for the respect they have for their paying customers. All that for a mediocre burger, soggy sweet potato fries, hard poached eggs and under ripe avacado. Will not be ordering again.

Nice food when it arrives. Absolutely atrocious waiting times even when they aren't that busy. Waited 40 mins for a veggie fry, the cup of tea took 20 minutes.

Good food and service. Comfortable environment and good value for money

Tasty, good quality breakfast and coffee.

Top class food at reasonable prices.

Too rude staff They told me it will take 2 minutes After 15 minutes when i asked kindly is my order ready the staff was too rude with me And he told me the next time you will wait outside So i canceled the order

Must be best value for money in Belfast. I always love coming here. Got a Caesar salad, Cappuccino with Oat milk and a Flapjack and spent less than 13 pounds for good sized portions

A great little cafe which does a great breakfast. Highly recommended.

Ordered lunch at the office due to high reviews.... Arrived on time and sadly thats the only redeeming quality, Toasted Sandwich wrapped in paper with ice cold drinks placed on top, meant is was cold and soggy, was barely toasted to start with, baked potato was not in any way eatable, congealed and poor quality, went straight to the bin after one mouthful! £14.00 wasted on this How do they get away with high reviews with such poor offering's?

Ordered some breakfast for my birthday not only was the delivery fast but the food was great and the staff wrote a cute little note on the box🥺 made my day

Stopped at this beautifully decorated cafe for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Thank you

Good food, well priced considering it's central Belfast.

Popped in for some breakfast and we both had Breakfast Bap with a pot of tea. Food was freshly cooked and tasty and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful good spot for breakfast!!

Lovely experience in this place I love the food here, the staff is lovely and they really care about you as a clientI really recommend this place to everyone that wants to eat a good Breakfast in Belfast

Booked a hotel without breakfast included and Lava House more than filled that gap. Both breakfasts were wonderful, staff were excellent, and the coffee was good.

Had an absolutely outstanding cup of coffee at the new Lava House on the corner opposite (says it’s a deli on Google Maps, but it’s now a Lava House too) - probably the best coffee I’ve had outside of Naples 👌 Definitely the best coffee in Belfast!

Love this wee place. A wee gem with great prices that won't break the bank. Everything I've tasted so far has impressed me. Been for breakfast and lunch.

Excellent breakfast, served quickly in a relaxing atmosphere with very friendly staff. Great location to start your day. They had no problem with our special requests.

Just OK, slow service and not very happy staff.

Really good, really cheap Really recommend Really go

Excellent service. Great food and brilliant prices. £4 for a breakfast bap and pot of tea.

The blueberry smoothie was excellent! My husband had the blue cheese burger and he said it was very flavourful. Food was cooked to order so can take time to arrive, but very good food and very reasonably priced.

I order from here regularly and always get fresh tasty food. Thanks everyone.

Great place.staff very friendly.food great

Ofertas de desayuno continental muy buenas. Dos huevos pochados, bacon, tostadas y café por 4£. Delicioso café capuchino Personal muy amable.

Person served a customer who arrived after me before me.. Felt I was too dark-skinned for the place

Amazing food and really reasonably priced.

Poor service, waited a long time to be served then a long time to get drinks, food was another long wait and between 3 meals only 1 was good, bacon was like rubber as over cooked, the poached eggs were overcooked as well

Clean, good food and plenty of it!

Bounced in here for an oul breakfast date with some bird, have to say the fry was delicious, a nice quiet spot amongst the hustle and bustle of Dublin road, I loved the art work too.

I like this place but needs to think more about needs and offering for vegetarians. They have a Veggie breakfast but not great value and they don't really understand needs of veggies to ensure good protein level. The veggie breakfast has all the same ingredients of the meat breakfast fry except they replace 2sausages 2bacon 2eggs and blackpudding with... 1veggie sausage and only 1egg !! It is just over £1 cheaper Which means for that £1 meat eaters get an extra meat sausage and extra egg and 2bacon plus blackpudding !! So no real attempt to provide veggies with similar value. Also sadly their single veggie sausage is the type primarily made of vegetables without much of a Protein source. So veggies primarily get their Protein from 1egg and a small helping of beans. It's a shame as we like this place and we'd expect they'd get some better advice from vegetarians about making what they offer both better in ingredients and better in value. Hope they read reviews would be so easy to add some ingredients like hallumi or other protein sources and at least match the 2eggs that meat eaters get. Here's living in hope !! Staff efficient and friendly. Tables clean and well maintained.

Stopped in here for breakfast after checking out of the hotel next door and before heading to the airport, for a small bite to eat before flying. There's a fairly comprehensive menu, and the food and drink is tasty and fresh, and is served quickly and with friendly service. Nice decor and atmosphere inside with a homely feel to it. Good value for money overall, so would recommend as a whole 👍🏻

We waited too long in this restaurant so in the end were quite disappointed. Unfortunately it took over 30 min to order and another 30 min for the food to arrive. The food itself wasn't bad but the vegan sausage was a bit unusual.. Glad to see a vegan breakfast on offer nonetheless. Unfortunately cannot recommend this restaurant.

Tasty food and big portions. Very good coffee! You have to try the garlic cubes. Lava burger is delicious and massive. Steak chiabatta also very good.

Молодцы земляки. Очень вкусно ))

The barista was nice and friendly! Great place

Food OK, but nasty vibe from staff

Worst place to eat.family business always arguing between husband and wife Infront of custumers negative attitudes never again.

Had fry today perfect nice staff

This is a lovely cafe and their large fry will set you up for the day. Prices are very reasonable. Salmon and poached eggs are great as is the bacon bagel with cream cheese.

Didn't have one as we only went in for coffee and cake, but the cooked breakfast looked really good and seemed a popular choice.

Great food at sensible prices for central Belfast

Very clean good breakfast fast service

We ordered the pancakes and a fry. They were both so so delicious and filling! The servers were so lovely but it was a bit slow. Price was cheap for the portion and kept us full all day. Would definitely recommend the chai lattes!

As we were room only at the Holiday Inn around the corner we needed something before going to the Airport. We popped in and had a lovely breakfast, the filled soda bread was gorgeous, really nice sausages and the fried egg was perfect. The menu is well balanced with good inexpensive options. The restaurant was spotless and our waitress was Lovell. , bought a nice caramel flap jack for later. I might try the pancake stake next time.

Took a chance and went in for lunch - was very pleasantly surprised! Friendly staff, lovely menu at great prices and food was served promptly. Delicious and an overall positive experience, this local business should be supported!

Just had a coffee but I think they serve the best coffee I have had in Belfast! Service is awesome, very friendly and very pro

Fabulous food. Extremely nice and friendly staff. Pizza is delicious

Great place. Go here every time I visit Belfast to get breakfast. Friendly staff and good servings. The pic was not taken to rate this place, but just to show friends my delicious, generously portioned breakfast. Couldn't finish it :(

Amazing food and the service is really amazing...

One of the best coffee shops in Belfast Friendly staff and reasonable price

Very nice place. The food is very delicious. Staff is very kind. My favourite is a fries, fresh, crispy and delicious.

Greta the food was awesome and the workers were very nice
