Charming, friendly, deservedly busy and with a diverse range of home-style cooked food. A great eatery and meeting place in the heart of Belfast.

My wife and I stopped at Avoca for lunch on a recent trip to Belfast. Very nice food in the center of Belfast. Highly recommended and reasonably priced. A great range and very friendly staff. Thanks ?

Lunch was excellent here, fantastic and delicious food. Unfortunately though the service was a bit slow. The person on the till was also on coffee machine duty and this delayed things for everyone. Another issue was quite off-putting: Once you order, the member of staff doesn't hand you your tray but places it on a railing/counter near the till and you then queue up to pay. As a result of long queues your tray may be a good distance from you and others in the queue are standing right over your order. This results in people coughing, sneezing and scratching their head/ hair while they are directly over your food!!. I don't know why the member of staff just doesn't just hand you your order and you mind it yourself while queuing!!.

I can only comment on the restaurant upstairs which offers a range of fresh delicious food. It can be a little pricey but the quality of the food is worth it. Service is slow at times but the staff are always warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Popped in for coffee and cake. Upstairs, two separate queues one for coffee and cake and one with a wider selection of food as well.I went for the shortest queue. Cake was huge and coffee was lovely, not enough clean tables, but we managed

Amazing breakfast possibilities. From poached eggs to scones and healthy breakfast.

I've been here twiice recently: once for brunch and once for coffee. Both were pretty good. Both were a bit slow, purely through shortage of staff, I guess, but we got there in the end. The food is solid cafe food, well cooked but needing reheated before serving. And there's the rub. My baked potato was hot enough on the outside but cool in the middle. These days there's really no excuse for that. Step up on the staff training on how to use a microwave properly. Ambience is fine; clientelle mixed so no-one would feel out of place because they're too old, not cool enough or, of course, too young and too cool! My rating above is higher than it would have been after the first visit, because of the decent coffee and nice wee Portuguese custard tart.

Avoid this place. Slowest service I have ever witnessed. One staff member taking orders, taking payment and preparing orders. Waited 20 minutes in the queue.

Such a beautifully curated shop, with great Irish made finds, and French made finds. Coffee is delicious. Could probably spend hours exploring.

Excruciatingly slow customer service even though it was not busy. A extortionate 50p. Surcharge on Oat milk when the diary alternative is free. Anti vegan silliness.

We asked for gluten free options and were told that we had to look them up in the 90 page allergens table online (with no search filter). Staff said it was company policy not to give any information other than that and couldn?t help us navigate choices. Lovely staff but s ridiculous policy. I would have taken a risk and ordered nachos but they were out! We left after just a cocktail. What a shame.

Pancake stack with bacon. Pancakes are tasteless and stodgy and came swimming in watery syrup which made the whole thing a sogy mess, really disappointed.

Wow what a lovely place. A shop selling clothes, candles and other gift items and then a fully fledged coffee shop. I had the full Irish breakfast. It was very good even though it didn't have any potato bread. The coffee was great. Well worth a viait
