Just been in this branch for the first time in ages. Im nt sure if theyve moved down a few units or…read moreif theve taken over whtever is next door but they are now about 3 or 4 times the size they were last time, (twice the width and twice the depth). Coffee and food available remains the same as to be expected from chain brnach and thats not too bad. I'm not a big fan of Starbuck coffee, but the consistency means that youre not going to get anything bad either. What I like about this new set up is the place was open, airy and relaxed and the extra space means that there is a high proportion of comfortable seating. The free wifi also remains and was easy to use and seemed reliable.

When I asked the cup couldn't be found. The cashier then turns around and makes the drink shaking it in the cup without using a shaker just in the cup with a lid with liquid coming out of the lid on to her hands. She shakes it off and gave it to me. When I said "this is not right" she just stood there. I asked for my money back and without flinching a person called Nikita approved it on the system with no eye contact or remorse. An older person one the other till then goes on to tell me that's how things are done here. no Starbucks procedures were followed and when we are over paying for our favourite drinks it would be nice to be treated like a customer.

I'd take some convincing that the rent in this decrepit airport, that's as much of a run down dump today as it was when we last travelled through 16 months ago is higher than high street costs. It's a £1 for 10 minutes just to drop off anyone travelling. The tables here are dirty. Many tables are littered with the thrash and waste food left by previous customers. There's zero cleaning between customers yet signs about social distancing are all around. Why bother in these circumstances? The floors too are filthy. I see 4 staff behind the counter. There's been very little customer demand in the last half hour possibly the price hikes and the dirt put folks off yet not one of the four idle folks behind the counter can be arsed to clean up. I tried to load money onto my Starbucks card but it's impossible as it's a franchise. It's two stars for the coffee and ok service but zero for green stars - they seem to pay the same care to recycling and environment planet friendly materials as they do to cleaning to keep customers safe in a pandemic, in other words little to nothing. The Norn Iron phrase is it's a dirty hole and as I hit the button to post this a quick clean up is underway but not a cloth or disinfectant spray in sight.

Oh dear what terrible tasting coffee. The words attributed to Abraham Lincoln sprung immediately to…read moremind when I tasted their overpriced cappuccino. When he was served a cup of unpalatable brew Mr Lincoln apparently remarked: If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee. The brew itself had a milk froth head on it about half inch in depth. It really was a lesson in how to go about doing everything wrong in coffee making so this hand made coffee at near £3 done in a sophisticated, hugely expensive coffee machine tasted just like a Mc Donald's coffee at near half the price. So if it's darn good coffee you want them this likely isn't the place for you. This place is located near the troubled Belfast international airport and one can park for an hour free thereafter the private sector parking police will want to shake as much money out of your pocket as they can.

The Ritazza in the check-in hall seems to have had a bit of a boost since I was last in it (a few…read moreyears ago). It was pretty small and there wasn't much to it, while now it is a good location for anyone dropping off passengers or facing a while in the check-in hall for whatever reason. This is especially convenient as the coffee and food options airside for those unlucky enough to be providing lifts and not getting to go anywhere themselves are limited as everything in the service station across the road outside that was a decent enough option pre-COVID is now closed. So the Ritazza in check in, it's not a bad place to sit, it is well enough decorated and comfortable, and not a bad place for airport people watching. The coffee is pretty decent and the food offerings are well on a par with any other coffee shops or cafes of its type. Nice to see its come on over the years.

I've tried the cafe a few times but I really don't like the taste of their coffees and they never have the toppings when you ask for them, but even though they don't have stuff they don't reduce their prices. The cafe itself is pretty comfortable, cosy, relatively clean and the staff are friendly but as the prices charged are premium then all the coffees should always be too. So having tried it a few times over several weeks and it's been consistently poor tasting coffee (I tried cappuccino and flat white) I'm now done - no point in throwing good money after bad.

This really is a 'secret' garden…read more My sister and I were seeking a venue for a little treat and she recommended we try here. Afternoon tea without the ridiculous price - perfect. At £24 for two this really is a steal. Sandwiches of your choice, scones (with the usual accompaniments) and some yummy traybakes. This is more like non pretentious, Northern Irish style afternoon tea. With the tray bakes including mini fifteens and malteaser squares. If you are looking for something cutesy, scrumptious and not breaking the bank then look no further! Will definitely be back. Don't forget to check out the gift shop for some trinkets and the perfect gifts for mums.

Tea rooms attached to a garden centre, tend not to have the most out there reputation. I'm glad to say my scepticism was blown out of the water. This place is definitely a little gem of Belfast. The actual tea rooms/restaurant are an elegantly appointed building with stunning views of the countryside. You feel like you are in the great hall of some stately Victorian home. Sumptuous décor and a varied and delicious sounding menu. As we were there during the week we availed of the two courses for £9.99 (I think that was the price so apologies if I got this wrong, my mum was paying) We both ordered the soup for starter, Butternut Squash, chilli and coconut. Very tasty and a huge portion, I couldn't finish mine because I wanted to leave room for the main. My mother ordered slow cooked beef brisket, Mash and roast root veg while I had the smoked haddock, creamy bacon and leek sauce and the same sides. I cannot fault the food, it was delicious. My only tipple would have been that a selection of different sides for the fish may have been a little better, Maybe some samphire and potato croquets or some such. We also caught a glimpse of their cram tea on another table which looked stunning (I think the Waitress said it was £20/25 per head) Overall an amazing place for lunch, but it doesn't end there. They also offer a dinner menu Thursday to Saturday and it is BYO so definitely cannot be doing wrong there. I highly recommend this place for lunch or for dinner! If you go for dinner though I think you have to book as this place is making its mark on the map and seems to be getting ever more popular!
