Neighbourhood Cafe in Belfast

I just don’t get the whole belfast cafe/brunch persona with having to fire rich unnecessary toppings onto simple dishes, unfortunately neighbourhood fits right into this category. Sometimes keeping things simple goes a long way. First of all I’d like to say the coffee in here was one of, if not the best, and for how busy the staff were they were very accommodating! However having your eggs freezing isn’t always a great start to your day off right.

Luckily we didn’t have to queue but often there is one. We were initially advised to take a two seater for three of us but a table for4 did then clear. The restaurant is very narrow and has very few table for 4 if all the twos are busy. Hot chocolate is small but lovely but otherwise the food is very good and has a seasonal menu. Most dishes can be made gluten free.

Cada vez que viajo a las islas británicas me gusta desayunar en algún sitio local alejado de los socorridos Starbucks o similares. Este sitio es perfecto. Buenísima carta de desayunos, en especial los Eggs Benny y la Tiramisú French Toast. Muy recomendable.

I was in Belfast last December for the first time…. (I am from Cork) the breakfast experience started in the queue waiting for a seat, it was a cold Sunday December morning, when staff handed out little hot chocolates (for free), went in ordered, paid. The staff were SO NICE, SO FRIENDLY, SO SOUND and had a great sense of humour!!! The food was 12/10 absolutely not one fault. It was by far the nicest breakfast I have ever eaten out!! I think about it regularly hence the review almost a year later. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to go again. Food, customer service and setting 12/10.

I ordered the eggs benny and a cappuccino - it was very very good. Must try! Nice ambience, good staff and lots of options.

Really enjoyed this! We went early so there was no wait for a table, and the service was so quick. I loved my tiramisu french toast, and while the hot chocolate wasn't in my top 5 it was decent. Nice and cosy for a breakfast looking out on the rain.

This place had a nice vibe, great staff - attentive but not too much so - food was excellent and served efficiently. Coffee was lovely too. Must have timed it right as we didn’t need to wait long for a table. Big queue outside when we left which is always a good sign! Will be back on next visit to Belfast for sure!

Outstanding. Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return as so many options on menu I want to try.

Seating in door and out doors with a modern interior with wood based with solo seats at window . Less than comfortable as narrow table and wooden high chairs. Milky flat white- light roast was average. 10mins for coffee to be served. 20mins for mains: had the Egg Benny-Beautiful presented , the Pork was pork belly marinated with a Hollandaise sauce which was golden yellow and on the sweeter side , some chives to add to colour. Brioche for bread was a good call with the dish. Busy at 0945 on a Sunday and queue for seats at 10.15 so would suggest coming early on a Sunday.

Waited for 30min to get the table. The place is very small and cramped inside Their coffee is average and quiet acidic Pastry is good but brunch is okay, I think it is overpriced and over hyped. There are nicer places in Belfast .

Had a great breakfast bap and coffee. Service was quick. Staff were very accommodating and polite. Surroundings were warm and comfortable. Highly recommend this cafe.

Delicious lunch and good coffee in cozy venue. The vegan bowl was particularly nice, as was the pour over. Friendly staff.

Excellent brunch, great service & coffee. Turkish eggs & Mushrooms on focaccia….totally delicious! Visited twice on a weekend break.

Came to the Neighbourhood Cafe hoping for a decent coffee. The layout and decor was promising! The staff were welcoming and interactive, and did in fact make the best coffee of my Belfast trip. I could have taken 3 at once, it was so good. Very reasonably priced too. Sitting in was an option, I opted for take out this time.
