Quick info
About Cream
Cream is a coffee shop and breakfast restaurant at Unit 1-2 in Belfast, with a menu that runs to 132 dishes across the day. Table service is used, with staff taking and delivering orders rather than a counter setup. The kitchen offers Cream's Toasted Club Classic and Prawns and Marie Rose alongside a BLT, and low-carb choices are available for those with dietary requirements. It opens daily for daytime service only, and no advance booking is needed, though a wait for a table can build during busy periods. The room holds multiple tables and suits larger groups, and outdoor seating adds extra space for those who prefer to eat outside. A step-free entrance allows wheelchair access, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Course-based menus, listed as 1, 2, and 3 Course options, run alongside the a la carte selection.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the fry, described as freshly made, with one reviewer saying it's worth "a detour" to Dundonald just to try it. Close behind, the ham Sunday roast draws praise for its gravy, though a couple note the portions ran skimpier than expected. The coronation chicken sandwich splits opinion: staff serving it are called lovely, but more than one reviewer found it on stale bread or paired with an odd, dated garnish of tinned pineapple and peppers. Staff are repeatedly singled out as friendly and quick with banter, and the granola with yogurt and fruit also gets a nod. The clearest recurring gripe is value: reviewers describe a small fry rising from seven to nine pounds, a family order of two large fries with tea and a coke topping twenty seven pounds, and a kids' meal of three nuggets and four wedges called too small for a nine year old. A couple also describe curt service, including a table being cleared while diners were still seated.

“First time here & I will definitely be back. There is a super choice on the menu & the staff were so friendly & helpful. Plenty of space inside & no rush to hurry up.”
- Bry
“We have passed this place quite a few times & finally we got the chance to do there... We certainly weren't disappointed. The place is welcoming & inviting, & as you walk in the staff greet you as if you are a regular customer. The place is warm & we didn't have to wait long for a table & while you are waiting the staff hand you a menu to peruse while you are waiting. We were given plenty of time to choose food & the staff were attentive with our order. The food was amazing, great portion sizes & very tasty, it was hot, fresh & delicious. We are definitely going to go back there as the menu is massive & even caters for people who are dieting (or looking for low carb options)... Check this place out when you get the chance!”
