Stumbled across this place with my daughter and wife on our first visit to Belfast a few weeks ago. This place is amazing! .. when the guy serving asked if he could help I said "yes move to Birmingham" (near to where we live) .. we purchased the Belfast Gator and it was great but all the food looks amazing. If we're ever in Belfast again we will return!

Our daughter & wife ordered the cheese tower rather than a wedding cake for their wedding early November & we’re delighted with it. The cheese, chutneys etc along with the presentation was exceptional & was probably the most photographed item other than the two girls on the day. Thank you isn’t enough for the service from Sawyers ……..👍

Felt incensed at our experience today. Appalling we bought 2 ciabatta filled rolls which tasted bland and like sawdust. I don’t know who gives good reviews but ours was not good.?ciabattas were hardly warmed or toasted and given to us within minutes after payment. We ate a few morsels and left the rest as food was so bad and not worth taking home. Glass of wine was good. Italian latte was v weak and only warmed and certainly a poor coffee. Not a proper latte. Disappointed as our day out to belfast. Waste of time and money. Don’t go there.

Any time I've called in it takes an age to get service at the olives counter. Staff seem more interested taking amongst themselves and finishing their conversation. Wouldn't be the 1st time I've gave up and walked out. Definitely something that needs addressing by management.

Looked good from the outside but a little grubby inside. They maybe need to freshen it up a little. We had a cheese sandwich and sausage roll and a couple of tray bakes. The sandwich was pretty poor but the rest was nice enough. Average prices. Waiting staff very pleasant and helpful as seems to be the case in Belfast overall.

Absolutely Superb Family run Cafe on the Belmont Road in East Belfast.. First thing that struck me was how very clean & well maintained the place was.. There are also some Beautiful Historic Pictures of East Belfast on the walls.. Something that I believe is always lovely to see.. The Service was prompt, polite & all you could ask for.. As for the Food, I had the Vegatarian Fry & it was Superb.. Very Tasty with a very good mixture of items.. (Items can be replaced by request when making your order).. My Friend had the Soup with Wheaten Bread & she said that it was Delicious.. She also commented on the cleanliness & First Class Presentation of the Establishment.. This was my first visit but I will definitely be back.. I Highly Recommend this Cafe for Food or Drink at any time of the day..

Was here for a event. Cant believe in a pre arranged event they ran out of Guinness before 11pm... particularly since from what I could see there was very little Guinness sold...I wonder could the barman just not be bothered changing the keg???
