Coffee Shops · Belfast
Tucked into Rosetta, this is a small bakery-café where the food does a lot of heavy lifting — the bagels get the loudest praise, described as pillowy and soft, with the bacon one enormous and a halloumi version that keeps the veggie crowd happy. Portions are generous, prices fair, and the traybakes, cruffins and espresso chocolate cake are worth the detour. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan and gluten-free options, and free parking, plus outdoor seating for warm mornings. It's a compact spot that gets deservedly busy, so a pram may need parking outside at peak times, and one snag worth knowing: order before you take a seat, as tables aren't held. Dog friendly too, which helps if the whole family's out.
