Customer Review Summary
Salad bowls draw the most enthusiasm, with one reviewer calling the Super Grain with extra chicken delicious and a new go-to for a healthy lunch at work. Close behind are the coffees, where the caramel latte and the maple sea salt latte are singled out, and one reviewer calls the latter the best coffee they have ever had. Others praise the shakshuka as perfectly seasoned and not watery, the toasted focaccia served with it, the smoothies, a fruit and cinnamon scone taken to go, and a steak and eggs with tender, juicy steak. Staff are described as friendly, and the room as calming and relaxing. The complaints concern the kitchen getting orders right. One diner's Guacamole bowl arrived without roasted vegetables, herby croutons and tomato salsa, with peppers in their place. Another found the French toast badly burnt and the southern fried chicken a horrible grey colour. That diner says staff offered to remake the meal, but their appetite was gone and no refund was offered.

“Food was amazing, staff were amazing, this lil cafe is a gem amongst the bustle of belfast. If you want a calming, relaxing meal - here's your spot! The maple sea salt latte is to die for! The best coffee I've ever had in my life 🥰”

“Omg FINALY!! A place that does incredible salad bowls!! I got the Super Grain with extra chicken and it is delicious. This will definitely be new go to place for a healthy lunch during work. Thank you Pottingers!”
- Anthony Finnegan
“Annamalai is a fantastic server. He is always welcoming and accomodating. He brings a great deal of warmth to his role. I usually come here everyday from monday to friday for the buffet. Annamalai knows my likes and dislikes in my buffet choice. Honestly, when he is not around the place is not the same. I would strongly recommend the lunch buffet based on the high quality serice i receive daily from Annamalai as well as the high quality of the food.”
