Cafés · Belfast
A short walk from Stormont, this is a proper brunch spot with a warm, cosy feel and a nice outdoor area for sunny days — helpful, since it's a bit compact inside and gets busy. Scrambled eggs on sourdough draws real praise, the "leek and destroy" plate of eggs, mushrooms and leeks is lighter than it looks, and the specialty coffee is a cut above. Food generally arrives quickly, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and free parking. Two honest snags: prices sit slightly high, and there's usually a queue, though families report it rarely runs beyond 10–15 minutes. Go around 9:30am or mid-afternoon on a weekday and you'll get the calmer version — one parent found even a rainy-day wait didn't spoil it.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
