A café that kept moving
The café began in 2021 at 60 Donegall Street, opposite St Anne's Cathedral. A fire forced a move, and it reopened in December 2022 a few doors along at number 33. In 2025 it settled at 61–67 Donegall Street, which the owners call their forever home. Through all of that it has stayed on the same street in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter.
What's on the menu
The focus is brunch done with care: locally sourced ingredients, breakfast and lunch dishes, and options for different dietary needs. Coffee is a big part of the offer, with filter and espresso served hot or iced, made in partnership with Calendar Coffee in Galway.
Making a morning of it
St Anne's Cathedral is a minute's walk away, and the surrounding streets are full of the bars and murals that give the Cathedral Quarter its character. Go for a late breakfast, then wander down towards the cathedral and the pubs around Commercial Court. The café also has a sister location in Austin, Texas, and since 2023 has run a restored truck selling its coffee and goods on the road, so keep an eye out for it at events around Belfast.
