Quick info
About Truffles Coffee Shop
On Belmont Rd in Belfast, Truffles Coffee Shop is a cafe and breakfast restaurant that takes walk-ins only. The Ulster fry is a regular order, and it can be requested as the larger "belly buster" version for those wanting more on the plate. A veggie fry runs all day for sit-in or takeaway, and the homemade chilli comes with a choice of rice or chips. A deluxe crispy chicken burger with pineapple is also on the menu. High chairs are available for families with young children. The cafe opens daily through the daytime only, with no evening service. Space inside is limited, and it can get busy at lunchtime, so timing a visit outside the midday rush may mean an easier fit for a table.

Customer Review Summary
The Ulster fry is what most reviewers return for, with one calling it the best in Belfast and another, a cook of forty years, saying he could not do better. The belly buster version earns repeated praise, and a veggie fry is singled out for the generous amount of food. Close behind is the deluxe crispy chicken burger with pineapple, described as one of the best burgers a diner has had. Reviewers also mention hearty breakfasts, well-made sandwiches, homemade desserts and delicious coffee. Staff are described again and again as friendly and kind, and the atmosphere as relaxed and homely. The caveats are modest. One reviewer says the café gets quite busy with limited space and that service can slow at the lunchtime rush, and suggests visiting outside peak hours. Another found the homemade chilli had a kick but came mostly as rice and chips with little chilli, after the stew had run out. That same reviewer was charged more than the menu price and let it go.

“I found this spot through an app I use that counts calories and macros just by taking a quick photo of the plate. We were actually planning to eat somewhere else, but I’m glad we went with the suggestion because the burger was spot on for my daily goals with plenty of protein and not a single bite wasted. The food was so genuinely tasty that I actually took my time eating it instead of just wolfing it down for fuel, and the staff were really sound in a nice, relaxed space.”
