Quick info
About The Mad Hatter Café Belfast
On Eglantine Ave, The Mad Hatter Café Belfast serves breakfast throughout the day with a menu built around the Belfast bap, filled with egg, sausage and bacon. Other options include the full fry, a vegetarian fry, and pancakes, alongside the Hatter breakfast and a Healthy breakfast for those wanting a lighter start. Cheesecake rounds out the dessert side, and coffee is available to go for those passing through. Table service brings orders to the table rather than a counter pickup, and no booking is needed, guests simply walk in. The entrance is step-free, making it accessible for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. An outdoor seating area extends the café for those who prefer eating outside. It opens daily, daytime hours only.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers return for, led by the Belfast bap with egg, sausage and bacon, which several praise as delicious. The full fry, the Hatter breakfast, the healthy poached egg breakfast, a vegetarian plate and the pancakes also get called delicious or faultless. Close behind are the Easter chips with pepper gravy and Easter fries special, along with coffee described as excellent, and one reviewer was steered toward the cheesecake after breakfast. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and quick, and one diner describes everything arriving piping hot and fresh in spotless premises. Reviewers also mention a big portion for the price, an outdoor area that suits a sunny day, and bathroom wallpaper one calls brilliant. The one complaint is slow service, with a single reviewer noting a wait for breakfast. Several say they will definitely be back, and one picked up coffee to go the morning after a group breakfast.

They even did an Easter chip - with delicious pepper gravy. Coffee was excellent too. You've got to check out the bathroom wallpaper- it's brilliant 👏. I'll definitely be back.”
