My favourites would be. : -Build your own salad from the salad bar.

I challenge you to get your mouth around this. Lunch and breakfast time is very busy as they're are not many tables. And as people tend to be waiting for tables you can feel rushed to leave.

With about a half hour to kill between the…read morepoint we had to drop our daughter off for school and then be back in time to see her play, we didn't have too many options, and as a result called in here. I've seen the sign out on the main road (which would be easy to miss) every day as it's on my commute to work and yet I've never been in. So this worked out well. What a great hidden gem, loved this place. If you're looking for it, it is opposite the attendant-less Maxol garage, down the side of the used car place. The décor has all the hallmarks of a trendy contemporary coffee shop/deli, nothing too original, but to their credit they have distilled the design to the best elements of it and then executed the layout very well, so it's a nice place to be. The staff were great too which I love as there is little to endear a place to me more quickly than nice people working there who are nice, not through customer training but because they are just good folks!! The food when was great, a wide range of mouth-watering choices are clearly displayed across the huge menu..... which is the entire back wall of the place. It has been painted in blackboard paint and the menu chalked up in big clear writing. The prices although on the higher end of average aren't extortionate by any means so I wouldn't call it cheap eats but you get top quality food and service for just north of average price. The coffee was great, which is an essential element for me and the last thing I ate was a scone..... as we were there so early, it was freshly backed and still warm from the oven......................... so so good!

Today I had a veggy burger plus the optional fries. Burger appeared to contain curry spices but not overwhelmingly so. Altogether tasty and there was even some avocado in the bun. As an omnivore, I'm conscious, though, of the different levels of structural integrity between meat and veggy patties - the latter are probably best left bunless and eaten with cutlery. It saves burying my face in the plate. For a sweet, I had the custard tart. This had much more custard in it than some others that I've had but perhaps a little too sweet.

The coffee shop is very small and intimate, with the space for a few metal seats outside on the rare days in Belfast where the wind or rain has decided to not molest your face!

There is also a good range of food for a breakfast, lunch and dinner, with rich, hearty soups, well filled and reasonably priced sandwiches and lovely bagels, wraps and paninis.The staff are attentive and are always looking to offer you anything you may want or need. They also always do a daily special which is good to try something new at a reasonable price!

That was a while ago, and when a friend reminded me of it the other day I was compelled to visit the actual shop under the pretence of getting the other half a treat. OK, I wanted a treat, but a good deed is still a good deed. The ladies were lovely and full of chat as I tried to decide what to go for, which considering we are just talking cupcakes not career choices, it was surprisingly difficult. I decided on 3 chocolate ones- a chocolate raspberry, a salted caramel chocolate and a raspberry chocolate. Don't ask me to choose my favourite, as they all were. Moist with a little surprising gooey centre on the caramel and raspberry ones they were flawless. The other half felt the same, leading me to believe that this is a little treat he wants me to repeat, so looks like J Bird will be getting a lot more of my pocket money in the future, not that I'm complaining...
