    In between my three visits separated by a whole year, I can't believe I'm still the first to review…read morethis exceptional patisserie... the definitive hidden gem! I honestly didn't expect to find such top notch French pastries in Northern Ireland (and see my French patisserie list in case you think I've not had my share!!). But, I looked through Instagram pictures of Lazy Claire in July 2018, checked a bunch of websites, found nothing on them (they've since developed a strong reputation locally), and walked in to find delectable made-from-scratch pastries. The surprise didn't end there. The owner, Daniel, introduced himself to me and told me that he's originally from Alabama... though he did learn his craft at Angelina in Paris. I'm glad I walked in, per habit, around the time a bakery opens (9 am in this case on weekdays). Glad because I was the first customer. The guy after me looked around the display cases and casually asked for 4 butter croissants and 5 chocolate croissants (or vice versa). I turned around to look at him and exclaimed: you bought everything! He pretended as if he didn't know. Though he clearly did (given the mismatched order size). Daniel laughed and told me I'd been lucky. He's a wonderful conversationalist and I spent an hour chatting up with him as he shared his experience of living and operating a business in Belfast. The croissants were flaky with layers of rolled dough, but the shatter effect was more prominent the day Daniel was working. (I'm not dinging the other bakers, they were considerate people having recognized me from back to back visits) I also tried the macarons, but loved the Millefeuille and pistachio eclairs more. I wish I'd been there around December to try the Black Forest bûche de Noël. It looked lovely on Instagram. The New Yorker in me believes one can walk around any city in the world, but I'd forgotten all about "the troubles" on my way to the patisserie. If you're a tourist and don't know your way around the city, be prepared to cab it back to your hotel. Lazy Claire is a can't miss experience in Belfast. Even though, you're probably there for the GoT tours...

    From the owner: Lazy Claire Patisserie is one of the truest French patisseries in Belfast and Northern Ireland…read more Each pastry is handmade on site by our chefs using pure ingredients to classic French recipes. We offer items that you would be hard to find outside of France.

    This review is for the coffee and the service only. I didn't eat any of the food on offer. They…read moresell a range of good coffees at £2. I had a cappuccino and it was really very good indeed. The servers are all very friendly and they do try to up-sell as when I ordered my coffee my server tried a few times to suggest food items - saying no thanks wasn't a barrier to him trying a few more times. There isn't any comfy seating here, it's all cheap and functional, certainly there's no couch nor sofa to sit and relax on. This absence of comfy seating is the main reason why I wouldn't order food to sit in and eat. I tend to like to sit and enjoy my food. This is a NI Railways property allowing a number of food franchises. It's not centrally located to Belfast despite being called central station.

    I pass this wee stall quite often but usually I'm in too much of a rush to stop and grab one of…read moretheir delights. Today I got off the train last and managed to avoid the rush of commuters scrambling toward the exit and this presented the perfect opportunity to stop at The Piece of Cake stall without the threat of being crushed in a stampede. The choice of baked goodness at the stall is practically endless. There's croissants, fruit scones (I went for the blueberry scone - super foods and all that), quiche, sausage rolls as well as chocolate cake. Everything on the stall is reasonably priced. My scone set me back £1.50 but I think it's big enough to feed me for the rest of the week. The lovely lady working on the stall noticed that I was unsure of what to get and she recommended a thick folded crepe that was filled with chocolate and was freshly baked 'only an hour ago'. Her suggestion looked divine but I managed to resist and go for the sensible option. She was really informative and told me that Piece of Cake have a stall at St Georges Market and there will be one opening soon at Europa Bus station. I would highly recommend that busy commuters slow down to a stop on their way out of Central Station and pick up some freshly made breakfast or lunch from the Piece of Cake stall. Definitely a welcome addition to the otherwise drab Central Station.
