Friday lunch treat in the City of Belfast means getting out and about to new cafes and restaurants that you haven't tried before. Near the City centre and the Victoria Square Shopping Centre is Cafe Carberry where me and a friend decided to get a...good quality lunch for Friday. We both went for chicken wraps toasted with all the trimmings and a side of chips and tea and mocha to drink. The food was of good quality and the wraps were bountiful in size, the service was pretty quick and there is nothing better than a good hot drink on a cold windy day in February. Otherall its a nice little place and the location is good as it sits almost inbetween the City Centre and Lanyon Central Station which makes ideally located in the areas of St Georges Market and the Victoria Square Shopping Centre, so its almost impossible to miss if you travel by train to the city centre.More

Early morning visit for coffee and toast. Coffee was nice but the toast was forgotten and after a reminder cold and over done toast arrived. Servers are young and not interested.

Going keep it sort. £12 odd for 2 small breakfasts and a drink each. Food cold Small portion No thanks, we wont be back

First time I have used Cafe Carberry and would definitely use them again. Was having a family gathering and didn’t have time to cook. Food was delicious, portion sizes very generous. Reasonably priced given quality of food. Would recommend them.

Stopped for a snack as visiting the city. Lovely tea and amazing scones!! Friendly service. £8 for 2 enormous scones with jam, 2 teas and a banana! Great value for a city centre coffee shop. Def. recommend.

I frequent this spot for lunch as it’s close to work. It’s a regular haunt for the legal eagles in town - so great for a people watch! Usually opt for a baked potato it something equally simple. Food is tasty but an average lunch...costs me £8 a time so it’s not feasible for an everyday lunch. The environment isn’t fancy or anything but it’s location is very convenientMore

Organising our Christmas party and not sure about outside catering. Spoke to Café Carberry and they were very happy to work within our budget given we are a charity. I was a little apprehensive having not used them before but no need, food was amazing....As you know at all Christmas party's you get some complainers, not one. All staff agreed food was fantastic, presentation very professional and everything tasty and fresh. I would highly recommend this company and we will definitely be using them again. Quality of food first class and customer service excellent.More

Regularly call at this cafe and am never disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive. The coffee is excellent and the food is always fresh and tasty. If you want good service, good food and great coffee give it a try, you will be impressed.

By far my favorite café in Belfast. Open from early morning circa 6:45am every day. Great coffee, great food and great staff. Their scones are to die for.

My partner and I meet most Mondays & Fridays for lunch, I would like to think that we have visited most the majority of the cafes in the city centre at some point. Just over a month ago we happened to stumble Upon this little...gem, we've been back about 14 times since. In my opinion its in my top 5 place in Belfast to get an amazing cappuccino and hearty hot or cold lunch. So Why I hear you ask.... well where do I start? Ok so... THE COFFEE, H ere you don't get half a cup of frothy milk and hardly any coffee like Starbucks or Nero, @ Cafe Carberry Its a cup of smooth creamy perfection and never over heated to the point where you feel the need to spit it back into the cup because its burnt the of your throat. NEXT THE FOOD, everyday there are two soups or Hot special's to choose from that have been freshly made, numerous salads and other mouth watering items which iv'e not tried but have seen been dropped off at other tables. ( which I intend to try lol ) THE SERVICE, its speedy and pleasant the staff are always chirpy, polite and have a welcoming smile on there face they all actually seem to enjoy there job. THE ATOMASPHERE, There is always food music playing in the busy background while the café itself has been decorated in a tasteful and up to date manner. Will definitely be returning to this little gem of a coffee house. If you haven't been GO you're missing out.More

First visit back today to an establishment I haven't visited in over a year. Really looked forward to rekindling memories of a great breakfast, cheerful staff, mellow tunes to start the day and a warm atmosphere to make it all worthwhile. So, what happened? What...went well? Plenty of space in which to sit, with those fantastic big leather sofas situated near the doors, though in times past I have struggled to get a seat after 7am, and so I wonder what's happened to the past, regular clientele? Reasonable selection of soft drinks, juices, and of course there is plenty of space in a wide aisle in which to enter and exit the cafe. Also, one lady serving today actually looked like she was enjoying her day. Customers do tend to like seeing happy workers; it encourages our repeat patronage! Even better if? Crikey, where to start!... Decor is dark and gloomy; don't go by the web pics on T.A. It's like an existentialist attempt at persistent low mood in an eaterie, and really dampens the energy of the place. It's frankly dull. Bad service is another new concern at this cafe. Polish lady cleaning up spilled milk from the floor upon my arrival. Her red-haired companion, looking miserable as can be, after hearing my own "good morning, how are you?" greeting and then roundly ignoring me, states to Polish counterpart.."there's a customer." Polish lady advises she is mopping up and will be just a moment. Ginger haired misery repeats "there's a customer", before retreating to kitchen preparation area and peering round the door at me to continue her glower. Does she ingest lemons as a hobby? Next comes the huffing, puffing Polish lady smiling nervously and asking what I'd like. I order porridge and a large cooked breakfast for my colleague. I want my porridge made with milk. I also note the Polish lady's accent and state how nice it is to hear another exotic accent. Again I'm ignored and her gaze is averted. Shyness? I was paying a compliment...learn to accept these dear! Humans tend to notice differences and uniqueness. Is this some weird sort of staff training in the highest standards of ignorance that Cafe Carberry now has going for its people? The place was dead FGS; the least your people can do is raise a flipping smile and at least pretend they'd like us to stay and spend more cash. Food shows up to my lovely, comfy leather sofa, all served by the one remaining smiling, charming young lady who actually looks like she gives a damn. The porridge is made with water, and I suspect, microwaved.Not happy about that. I have to start work in 15 minutes. Large breakfast is something fit for a titmouse; it was, in fact, a mini breakfast. 2 messed up orders and 2 very unhappy professionals, one visiting, one resident, who then went straight to our office and told everyone how rubbish the place had become. In summary, lousy/no welcome to the joint, atrocious customer service skills, (especially the flame haired female with a face like a dropped meat pie); shockingly bad staff attitudes towards the Polish(?) colleague, unresponsive/uncooperative Polish (?) colleague (is she actually a robot?); god-awful porridge, non existent listening and confirmatory skills; no checks made to determine if we actually enjoyed the food/place/atmosphere; no exit thanks or wishes. Won't ever be back, which is a shame as it was always my breakfast port of call whenever I was in town on business.More

Recent breakfast meeting. Food ok, service average, cost ok. Overall nothing that would make me rush back.
