I stumbled across 'The Filling Station' when searching for a decent place to grab some lunch while…read moreat work. With its colourful exterior, I was immediately lured into this delightful cafe / sandwich bar. The title aptly describes The Filling Station's purpose - you can simply pop in and request a panini / toastie / sandwich / stack of pancakes, and your wish will be happily granted by the congenial couple who own it. I have had countless paninis from The Filling Station, all exceptionally made right in front of my very eyes, with every possible concoction of fillings you could imagine. And all for a mere £3.50. Amazing value. Sit-in, takeaway, delivery...there's really no excuse not to get a sumptuous sandwich or tantalising toastie from The Filling Station.

After lunch one of my colleagues remarked how nice it would be to round the meal off with some ice cream.. How could I resist! Luckily for us, Morelli's was just up the road from where we were. I had had Morelli's ice-cream before but never been to this cafe. It is a lovely little cafe with funky decor and lots of seating! We got served straight away and there were around 20 ice creams to choose from. I went for the vanilla with salted caramel ripple. Some other flavours were honeycomb, parma violet, ferrero rocher, plus frozen yogurts too. My 2 scoop tub cost me £2 - bargain!

Died-and-gone-to-heaven just doesn't cut it…read more Rainy Monday (double disaster) doesn't seem like a recipe for ice-cream, but believe you me, any form of comfort food on this particular Monday was most welcome. A quick dive into Fusco's (out of the pouring rain), was going to be an even greater remedy than I could possibly have imagined... It's not much to look at (don't judge a book by its cover, eh?), and it's not like traditional ice cream parlours where you can see the different flavours of ice-cream, so I wasn't even sure what they offered. The various menus informed me that they offered apple and rhubarb pie, different ice-cream treats and the regular tubs / cones in honeycomb and vanilla. Mmmm... My sister went for a small honeycomb tub with chocolate sauce, which at 75p was 15p more expensive than vanilla, but still very reasonable I thought. I, on the other hand, opted for a vanilla 99, also with chocolate sauce. Mutters of "mmmm" and "oooh, this is good", amidst the crunches and licks reflected my sister's views on the matter, and my ten minute silence was enough to verify that this was indeed the best ice-cream I had ever tasted. And I'm not even a huge vanilla fan! Tummies filled to the brim, the two of us went on our way, knowing that we had tasted a little bit of heaven. Oooh the cheese...chocolate sauce with that?

I've just discovered this place on the Stranmillis Road in Belfast (they also have a shop in the…read morefoodcourt in Castlecourt). My friends told me about it and I feel compelled to share the good news! So as the name suggests, it is a milkshake bar... and they also serve the odd cupcake. You can take out, or there are a few seats for sitting in. The decor is 50's diner style, bright pastel colours and really fun. But the main draw is the amazing milkshakes. They serve every kind you can imagine, blended up with good quality icecream and milk (none of that horrible flavouring added to milk lark). The menu is vast, so to take the pressure off deciding, they have a selection of house specials like the Elvis (peanut butter, chocolate and banana anyone?!) Or you can just opt for your favourite chocolate bar, blended up with icecream, which is what I did. I chose the Boost... it was delicious. Straight after I had finished, I wanted another one. I must warn you that once you have visited Got Milkshake? you will quickly become addicted! Ok, so the idea may be a bit gimmicky and I'm not sure how long their idea will remain unique, but the milkshakes are truely delicious and the price is pretty reasonable too - £2.60 for a regular, £3 for a large. The setting is great, right in the heart of Stranmillis village so a handy pittstop after a day of sunbathing in Botanic Gardens, or as a nice end to a meal. Like most good things in life, the milkshake bar is probably best in moderation. But great for a treat, a fun date, or the ultimate hangover cure. Enjoy!

Right, so the first thing I need to confess is that I don't actually like milkshakes, which makes…read moreit hard for me to review this place. However. It also sells cupcakes, and I am very well versed in the art of cupcakes! The cupcake I got the other day had ball bearings on it, which I love (I mean, it's edible metal!) Got Milkshake is quite a cute little cafe, with a 1950s vibe about it. It's really small though, so there are only a few tables in it. I couldn't really imagine sitting there for ages, so for me, it's more a get it and go place. The milkshakes themselves were popular with my friends though, and with so many ingredients on offer, you can have all kinds of weird and wonderful combinations (Wham bar milkshake anyone?)

Eventually it opened and became a welcome addition to the city centre. I worked my way around the flavours, generally only taking two of them or even just one. Of all the toppings, I only tend to go for blueberries (and occasionally, kiwi) and nuts. Actually, I don't really want a lot of the froyo because I'm as prone to headaches as I am with ice cream. No, I just want a little froyo as a topping for the blueberries and nuts. Now somebody mentioned spillage. Well, after a little experimentation, I soon realized that the thing to do is to put as much of the nuts and blueberries into the tub first and then literally squirt the froyo as a topping. If only the nut spillers referred to in the other review would do the same, there wouldn't be such a cross contamination risk as the froyo on top just sits there, unless of course you have too much for the size of the tub. I didn't do it today, though, as it doesn't make a very good photo that way.

I really enjoyed visiting Spoon Street frozen yogurt bar on the Upper Newtownards Road, so was…read moredelighted when a branch opened in Belfast city centre's Ann Street. I visited last week and thoroughly enjoyed it, trying the dairy free lemon (quite tarte) and watermelon (sweet tasting) options which the staff told me were dairy free because they are fruit based sorbets. These sorbets have a richer, creamier consistency than traditional sorbet, being more like whipped ice cream. All the usual toppings are available ranging from healthy fruits to sweets and chocolates. I did notice there seemed to be fewer flavour options in the city centre location than at Newtownards Road. Perhaps more seating space and less dispensing machines. I will definitely return, but as it's now October, it may be the summer months before I visit this or any other frozen yogurt bar again. The novelty of frozen yogurt is beginning to wear off a bit for me. Also who wants to eat such cold food during icy winter months?! Fabulous when summer sun is shining, but possibly not an all year round activity. Maybe they should diversify into mulled wine over winter time...

It…read morewas the board outside Indigo advertising 3 flavours of vegan gelato which caught my attention, this is a rare thing in Northern Ireland! I couldn't resist and was not disappointed. These vegan ice creams are made from coconut milk and are completely dairy free plus they taste fantastic and exactly like a quality homemade ice cream instead of sorbet. I tried all 3 flavours of raspberry, mango and strawberry and enjoyed every morsel. Really luscious ice cream which was absolutely scrumptious and flavoursome. It's also great value for money as three large scoops cost £3 which is much cheaper than similar would cost in one of the many Froyo bars which have popped up in Belfast over the last couple of years. The Gent who served me was extremely helpful and knowledgeable explaining exactly what the vegan gelato was made from and telling me what Indigo offer. The menu is small but delightful offering ice cream, coffee, pastries and soup during cold weather. This little café which is larger inside than it looks outside has lovely bright décor and a relaxed ambience. It's ideal for a sunny day as the small outside seated area is a sun trap. Indigo is the true definition of hidden gem. I plan to return soon for coffee and more ice cream. There's free WiFi too which is always a bonus and beautiful artwork on the walls.

None appealing. Sort of defeats the point of this place being an ice cream shop. ********Love this place. It is one of my new fave places in Belfast. The ice cream is so on point. Tastes are very realistic. I had avocado and also sweet potato. So good. It's nice to have an alternative place to go instead of just going to get coffee. Especially as I am not a coffee drinker. Though I hear theirs is pretty good and also their tray bakes. Would be good if they had signs to tell you what flavours the ice cream was so the staff didn't have to tell everyone. Especially as I went to a tasting night. So the que was huge and that held it up. They have made good use of the size of the shop. Stretches right down the back. The price is good. 2 generous scoops for £2.50. Can't wait to return to try more flavours. They don't have a huge cabinet so it's gonna be hit and miss with the flavours on offer when I go. Fingers crossed they have the lotus biscuit and also the peanut butter and jam.

That does not mean, however, that I don't know much about coffee shops. And I can tell you that Bennett's is just a wee bit more than your average coffee shop. The lux green leather seats and the sleek interior emphasis Bennett's chic side. It's effortlessly cool, hugely inviting, and mighty impressive. Offering a decent range of food (none of which I have tried, to my disgust) as well as hot and cold beverages, the servers will ask if you're eating, or just in for a 'wee drink'. My reply has always been the latter, purely because I've only had a requirement for a drink...you know how it is - friend invites you for 'a coffee', even though the both of you are die-hard hot chocolate fans. The hot chocolate is sweet and chocolately without being over-bearingly so, and comes in a posh tall glass with those tiny marshmallows...hmmm. Hot chocolate instantly tastes better this way, so I reckon. Bennett's is always hiving, so do get in and grab a seat before they're all gone.Try some of the other hot beverages and food...just cos I haven't.
