“The best cafe in Belfast!! Ive been going to this cafe for a while now and have always enjoyed my meal Yesterday me and my partner and my Shih Tzu were doing some christmas shopping and got hungry so suggested we all go here as the food is always good so i asked the amazing lady who i assume is the chef/owner if we could bring our dog in and she gracefully let him join which we all were grateful for before we sat down the nice lady give us menus and i went for my usual which is the sesame cold noodles which are a must try and my partner went for the new orleans wings and my sesame noodles were are delicious and the wings were coated in this delicious sauce which was sweet and savoury and we asked could we perhaps order the dog three sausages and she was sweet enough to let us order them and very kindly cut them up for fonzie and he enjoyed them while we enjoyed our meals and the boss lady was so kind!! if your looking for a wholesome cafe and kind staff look no further as yolo cafe delivers everything and more they have always been so nice and polite and the food is amazing!!!”
