But worth stopping in. Once inside, the space opens up and is very welcoming. I ordered the green eggs on toast, and it was delicious (the sausages are an add-on, and in hindsight was unnecessary). The poach was perfect, and that green sauce is divine! But... I hope you brought some dental floss or a toothpick, because you will surely have embarrassing green bits stuck in your teeth otherwise. Top quality brekkie! The OJ tasted fresh with bits of pulp in it (although they do pour it from a jug in their fridge) and the latte is of a good quality. Not busy on a Monday morning. Staff friendly, and chatty with some of the delivery people, who I assume they see on a regular basis. If in Belfast for an extended period of time, would not hesitate to dine here again.

There was a great selection of savory and sweet. I had poached eggs on sourdough. My friend had the French Toast, and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. There was fuzzy stuff on the French toast that looked like asbestos or fiberglass. It was not, it was soft and sweet, but it sure looked odd. The poached eggs on sourdough with pesto was amazing. I also got a side of bacon. It was perfection. There is a cool little shop too. If I am back in Belfast, I'll be sure to stop back.

Belfast Coffee Company is just that. Situated on Royal Avenue, just across from Belfast Central Library, it is nicely placed close to both the city centre shops and the painfully trendy Cathedral Quarter. I called in for a cup of tea on my way into work in the morning and have to say that I received a genuinely warm welcome. I'm quite fussy when it comes to my tea, so for me, the fact that the staff member serving me listened to what I wanted and delivered it perfectly is a big plus. If I had to pick a hole, it would be that first thing in the morning, they didn't really have enough of a selection for breakfast. The cakes in the display cases looked amazing, but I didn't have the stomach for cream cake first thing in the morning and the only other option was a scone (not my favourite). All in all though, I loved the atmosphere, the attentive staff, the location and most importantly, the free chocolate I got with my drink!

I have to add you should try their Baileys milkshake! I ordered it on recommendation from one of the staff. I wish I knew his name because he was the nicest man (I'll go back and find out and update) but he was our waiter for the duration of our stay and I have to say the service was excellent. He knew everything about the items on the menu and could offer his opinion on nearly everything. It was great to be able to trust his opinion on the choices. Added bonus (which I love) were the complimentary Irish chocolate treats. We got a few of these and took some home to enjoy with our after dinner coffee. I did notice that the younger staff weren't quite as knowledgeable as their colleague who served us but I'm sure they'll learn. I haven't had the pleasure yet of sampling their food on offer though it dodes look delightful. So in conclusion, try the milkshake it was definitely my favourite choice.

To me Harlem cafe's decor is gothic style, dark but cosy with twinkling lights and candles, the food is great and I recommend the french toast with berries and maple syrup. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Harlem cafe is a popular place and very busy and the only negative i will say is that there isn't much space between tables so you really have to squeeze past to go to the toilet or wherever. Also its not a cheap place but I would say its worth the price as the food is great, the atmosphere and ambiance is great and the staff are lovely.

Oh yummy yummy Ventnors!…read more I don't know how it's possible that some places make better sandwiches than others, but Ventnors really do. They'll do you a sandiwich, a a baguette, a wrap or a bagel and fill it with all kind of everything. The bread is always fresh, as are the fillings and the prices are reasonable enough for the city centre. When I worked nearby I learned very quickly that unless I wanted to be queuing out the door for ages, the key was to go for lunch 10 minutes before everyone else did to beat the crowd, so if I were you, I'd avoid it at 1pm on the button, and actually, I wouldn't bother going after 2pm, because they tend to be cleaned out by then!

I went to a coffee shop on my own, purchased a 'freshly blended' iced drink on my own, and sat at a table on my own. Just me, on my lonesome, all by myself. Even a year ago, I wouldn't have been seen dead in a coffee house on my ownio. I was far too aware that everyone would be looking at me and laughing at the girl in the corner...deserted, desolate and detached. Of course, I now know that's not how people act, but in my head, and at that time, it most definitely was. Caffe Nero was the coffee shop of choice, having only fairly recently taken over Paul Rankin's cafe on the corner of Fountain Street. As I am not a tea or coffee drinker, the only other options are hot chocolate or a cold beverage, so a 'freshly blended' iced drink it was. I like the way you select the drink in the fridge (I went for orange, lemon and lime) and then take it to the counter for a bit of whizzing action. Weeeeee. Whilst watching the female barista give my drink a good blend, I must have had the expression of a decidedly unfamiliar Caffe Nero novice, for the male barista asked me if I had a loyalty card. When I replied no, he gave me not one, but two stamps on a new one and handed me it. Must've liked the look of me. The drink was incredibly thirst-quenching, and also seemingly bottomless. Despite a good 40 minute sit-down in Caffe Nero, I still could not finish it, and by the end of that time, I was absolutely bursting for the loo as I'd drunk so much. Great value for money methinks. The next time I'm feeling particularly daring and gutsy, I'll be stepping back into Caffe Nero, armed with my twice-stamped loyalty card. Looking forward to it already.
