About Cream
Table service runs throughout at Cream, a coffee shop and breakfast restaurant in Belfast, where the team takes orders at the table and will suggest off-menu options if what you want isn't listed. The menu is a wide one, covering breakfasts through to lunches, and a cooked fry with coffee is a regular order. Tables are taken on a walk-in basis rather than by booking, and a wait is common at busier stretches of the day. Inside there is a good amount of space, and outdoor seating gives the option of eating in the open air. A step-free entrance keeps the unit reachable for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs make room for families with young children. Cream opens daily during the daytime, at Unit 1-2.

Customer Review Summary
The sprawling breakfast and lunch menu is what reviewers return to most, described as massive, varied and full of choice, with several noting it stretches to low carb options for anyone dieting. Close behind is the welcome, with repeated mention of staff who greet newcomers like regulars, hand over a menu while a table frees up and never rush anyone out. Named favourites include a mango, pineapple and papaya smoothie one visitor called delicious and natural, granola with yogurt and fruit, and drip coffee that comes with free refills, alongside breakfast fries and generous, hot portions. The clearest complaint comes from a longtime regular who says the morning coffee and small fry has climbed sharply in price with nothing else changed, enough that they expect it was their last visit. Another describes waving repeatedly to catch a server's attention and failing to find the advertised wifi password. Several suggest simply asking if a preferred dish is not listed.

“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.”

“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!”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
