This place was pretty good all round. Before now I'd have said I disliked bagels. I had a piece of…read moreone once and the birds got the rest. It was out of a 6 pack of New York bagels. So I went with my wife as she wanted to try this place, predisposed to disliking bagels. This place is near Maya cafe, a Subway sandwich place and two Pakistani restaurants. My wife chose a bagel deal with chicken & bacon declining the cheese, French fries and a 330ml Diet Coke at just under £6.50. The fries were hot and a good portion, cooked in vegetable oil. I had a piece and found it pretty tasty with chicken breast and well grilled, proper crispy bacon. The service was ace and I wouldn't hesitate to return here for coffee and bagels. Their coffee was pretty good too and good value. I suppose it's an upmarket Mc Donald's meal but a tad pricey given that the next door Spice of India offers a 3 course £5.95 lunch. The downsides are a mix of me being picky with my own quirks. The place is very small. It offers student discount so targeting them but not pensioner discount and it gives its bagels American titles like Tennessee. No disrespect to our American cousins but what's wrong with wheee we live; Down, Antrim, Armagh? Oh and bagels can't be legendary. Here they are just fast food.

I love Bagel Bean - great food and coffee. Really delicious. They also have lovely salads. I would…read morehighly recommend this place as it serves really tasty grub. You can also get takeaway from Bagel Bean which is good as it's such a busy cafe, hence getting a table can be tricky. They have a huge menu including every bagel you could possibly think of. I especially love the Veg Selection on the menu, with the Napoli Melt being my absolute favourite.

Did i mention the bacon is amazing? service is great, prices are quite reasonable (even for a yank), and coffee is always top class. I was afforded a free breakfast in a local 4star hotel, yet most mornings i chose to swing by "the Bean" for a bacon/egg/cheese bagel sandwich....which is pretty much amazing. coffee and breakfast for 5-6 pounds, not too shabby. New location (across from the market place theatre) is very nice, couches galore, but i like the old location, just feels like home (been going there 6 yrs now). nearly makes the flight from California worth it by itself.... ;) Opens at 7am M-Sat, closes at 5p. closed sundays (unfortunately).

Bagel Bagel is a great, er, bagel cafe!…read more They do Bagels of all sorts with every filling you can come up with! Being a creature of habit, aren't we all?, I always opt for a plain bagel with cream cheese and smoked bacon....mmmmm... ....mmmmm. They really know hoe to get it right here! Plus, at the bargain price of only £2.80, its a pretty impressive and filling lunch! The cafe is proper tiny, so my fave option is to go around the corner and sit admiring the view of St Anne's Cathedral! Weather permitting of course! Don't miss out on this lovely place! And if you're not a big bagel fan (no judgement) they do offer wraps and other light bites too!

I find that one bagel is never enough, they are just soooooooo good…read more To my knowledge this is Belfast's only one hundred percent bagel focused cafe. Bagels are kind of new for me, I would never of had them growing up. I feel like they are maybe an american craze as they are just savory donuts. I wonder if they would ever make bagels with chocolate sprinkles or with jam in the middle...I'm not sure if I like where this is going!!! The customer service in this shop could be better but the food is almost too good to worry about any other negativities. I have been to a couple of parties too where they were catering. Let me say I was Bagel bagel, Yes please!!! don't mind if I do, also you would mind if I had a bite of yours too???

This is a nice little cafe in Cavan and I've come here a few times for tea during my stay in Cavan…read more They have a decent menu with a lot of things like breakfast items, bagels, sandwiches, hot food and salads as well as a few vegetarian options. The staff are quite friendly, and the cafe is not too spacious but there is adequate seating and the inside is very cute. They also have free wifi and tables in the back which are great to do any work or study! The prices are reasonable, I paid 2.40 for earl grey tea and the location is very convenient right in the town centre opposite Dunnes stores.

I can see what they are…read moretrying to achieve but I am always left feeling like I have just been to a Kylemore Cafe or a cafe in a Dunnes Stores. The food is fine and the coffees are okay, service has always been really fast (and it was packed when I was there on a Saturday) but the staff always seem to be under pressure and giving each other instructions loudly - which takes away from the atmosphere. I think there is so much potential with this space but the layout and maintenance take away from it.

It's a pain to have to give a crappy review to a place that's always been a favourite. Arthur's has…read morealways delivered a decent lunch at a good price. After years of going in that has changed for the first time. As with everything these days the prices have crept up, especially in terms of the lunch specials. OK, that's to be expected these days. But there a 'meal deal' in there now for £12 or so! Not long ago that was a basic restaurant price, the specials are now around the £5 mark and gone is the awesome £3. I could live with that, but I got the club sandwich. It was tiny and bland.... With a club you expect the double layers... not in this case... just the 2 rounds of bread, and they were very poorly filled at that. I'll definitely be back... I won't give up on a stalwart like this after 1 bad experience... but with the hike in prices there needs to be an understanding there be a hike... and certainly not a drop, in delivery!

Not bad, not bad at all. I was about 10 minutes early for a meeting in the city centre today so I…read moredecided to pop in to Arthurs to kill a bit of time. As eluded to Arthur's is in a really handy location beside Montgomery Street Car park and only a short dander from Victoria Square.s iWith loads of neighboring offices I suspect Arthur's is rammed in the morning and at lunch time but luckily for me I visited around 2:30pm and there were only a few other customers. As soon as I walked in I was asked 'what I would like?' and to be honest I hadn't even worked that out in my head yet so I just blurted out Americanno! I like the prompt sty;e of the staff in here - no messing about - gimmie your order! The coffee was great - very strong which is just what I needed before a meeting. I even got myself a wee pecan slice as there was a lonely one left in a basket just staring at me at the counter. So I had to, you know yourself! Anyway, it's a big old thumbs up from me for Arthur's and who knows it might even get that extra star when I sit in!

The menu is exactly the same (i.e. great) and there aren't any really big differences between this one and the one on Donegall Street. It's a little smaller, maybe that's it. Yeah, that must be it! Actually, I don't know why I'm even trying to differentiate. It's amazing to have a branch of this great little cafe on the north of the city centre and one on the south. Everyone's a winner!

My friends and I were staying close by at the Global Village hostel and on our last morning in…read moreBelfast, we were craving a good sit down brunch. We hopped on Yelp and saw that French Village was just down the street, so we just walked on over. For a Saturday morning it was quite busy, but we were lucky to get a table for 4 people right away. They have a pretty standard breakfast menu with your typical french toast, pancakes, bagel, hash, scrambled eggs, etc. Between the four of us, we pretty much ordered the whole menu, which was great because that means I got to try a bit of everything. For myself I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. It was good, but I don't think it was exactly what I was feeling that morning. I really enjoyed bites of their raspberry & white chocolate pancakes and frech toast though. I'd definitely recommend that if you've got a sweet tooth. On top of that, we got an assortment of different coffees and smoothies at our table. I went for a soy milk latte for myself and a strawberry banana smoothie. Both hit the spot perfectly. Service was a little spotty. Our waters were never really refilled (and on a hungover morning, endless water is a necessity), and our server looked a bit angry to be there. The manager came around to see how everything was doing though, which was great! They have a bakery on the other side of the restaurant (where you go to pay), and have an assortment of macarons, muffins, and other baked goods. Before we left, we got a small box of macarons to share and they were lovely! I can't remember all the flavours we got, but everything I tried was delicious. If you're in the University area, definitely a good spot to check out for a nice breakfast.

It has just opened up so it isn't as busy as you would expect for a crackin wee cafe in the middle of a studenty area. The prices here are pretty standard. You will pick up coffee and a sandwich for about £5 or £6, which is what you would expect in this part of town. The service was excellent the time I was in. It wasn't that busy so they took the time and extra care with my order that I really appreciated. I'd definitely recommend this place, just don't expect it to be too banging.

The Garden Café is in an excellent location, right next to Botanic Station in a busy student area…read more Student love coffee, I do not know if it because they are always hungover or because they spend so much time cramming late in the library. But one thing is for sure The Garden café is cashing in on their love for the dark stuff, coffee not Guinness. I went in today and instead of the packed coffee shop I expected to find I instead entered a morgue with one pensioner pushing around a sausage on his plate while watching that cheap David Dickenson replacement on Bargain Hunt. It was super quiet, the staff were txting and enjoying the antiques on TV. But this meant I was able to get a coffee and go. I did just that, I had planned to stick around and kill some time while waiting for a train but I decided the platform was more exciting than this place. On the plus side a large coffee to go was only £1.70 and I was sipping it all the way to Bangor while trying to look sophisticated while passing through Cultra. The service was good too, despite their boredom the staff were attentive and I got served in a flash. I just wonder what is going wrong in the Garden Café?
