Orchard Café in Belfast

Had two cups of coffee , two scones , one packet of biscuits. Coffee was nice , scones and biscuits lovely , the staff were really helpful . All for under a tenner couldn't beat it

This visit was unplanned. It provided a little bit of heaven. Warm, welcoming, professional. Staff all friendly. Americano delicious and small fry fabulous. Service exceptional. Value amazing. Cleanest toilets possible. I will be recommending to everyone and will be back. Thank you to all at Orchard Cafe.

I ordered fish gujons with chips and mushy peas, my wife ordered chicken gujons with chips. Mine came minus peas and very overcooked chips, I asked about the peas and then was told no peas, you can have beans? OK so I got beans but the overcooked crispy chips and 4 small gujons didn't cut the mustard at all, disgusting. My wife's wasn't much better and she had to leave her chips as well. Now I know why this cafe is here and about the workers and we have ate here often but I'm afraid I will not be back, sorry.

Lovely cafe. Warm, friendly, good food and coffee. It’s situated on a street corner so there is lovely people watching and activity you can observe through the windows.

Very impressed from start to finish. Friendly quick service and very clean. Titanic fry was gorgeous (beautifully cooked) and cheap by some of today's standards. Worth every penny and then some. Overall excellent experience. Just wish I lived closer to go more often. Lucky east Belfast is all I can say.

Went there today for the first time and ordered a veggie fry and a cappuccino. My mother ordered a fry and a coffee, only to receive a tea which we then had to switch. During my meal I ate very slowly as I wasn’t sure of the restaurant and their levels of vegetarianism, thankfully I did so, as when I went to begin eating a bit of soda bread there was a chunk of bacon embedded into it. Once mentioned to a member of staff there was no remorse shown, and was asked if I wanted anything else.. not likely seeing as they don’t seem to understand what the word “vegetarian” means. Won’t be coming back. Heard great reviews from this place in the past but left very disappointed.

2 nd visit and sat in for mini fry and take away for my friend. Service with a smile and the nicest presented fry complete with garnish I've ever had!!!! Happy to share and definitely will call again. Great ethos too. Sourdough tuna melt to take away.

Called in today with my husband and we both had the Mini Fry. What a treat, everything was so fresh and the egg was cooked perfectly. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you to make your visit a pleasure, smiles all round. At £3.95 you will not find a nicer fry anywhere near by This place is a credit to the owners and staff

What a great wee spot. Have walked past lots of times and has always been busy. Called in today and had a mini fry each with a mug of tea. Well cooked and presented and lovely friendly staff..will return!

Called in for a quick breakfast before an appointment and was really impressed with this cafe. The organisation privides jobs for individuals with learning disabilities so deserves top marks for that alone. I was seated straight away and the place was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I got served quickly and the food was really tasty. I got the mini fry but seen other dishes coming out and the French toast and porridge looked nice as well. Came to £3.50 and that included tea so very reasonably priced. Overall I definitely recommend this place and I intend to go back to try their lunch menu soon. Well done to all involved.

Excellent cafe that offers employment to those with special needs. The Titanic All Day Breakfast is superb. Well worth a visit.

The cafe is located on the corner with great wide windows. Ordered toaster coffee and cake from clean fresh menus. All delivered quickly by friendly smiling staff. Very comfortable chairs kept me relaxing much longer than I intended. Music is good and at a comfortable level suited to the clientele. Great experience I wish them well.

Popped in recently with a friend for a coffee and chat. Coffee (Americano) was good and the scone was delicious. Great ethos and love the staff (waiting staff all have learning difficulties but are well trained and supported)

This is our local cafe. As well as doing great work in the community (the staff are mainly made up of local people with learning difficulties) the food is excellent and really competitively prices. The atmosphere is lovely and I'd recommend strongly.

I always stop here when I can for a coffee and a traybake. The coffee's always good. I really admire what they're trying to do there.

Can't even remember if it was called espresso east at the time. Can't really remember much about it but I think it was ok. Had something to eat and dad had a coffee. Seems an OK coffee shop!

It can be hard to find a good authentic coffee and it was a surprise to find one in this part of the city. I got a soft seat beside the window and watched the wold go bye while I enjoyed my Americano coffee and...

This eatery offers the best fry in East Belfast and the staff are an absolute delight! The concept is excellent and well worth experiencing - truthfully if the staff were as attentive and pleasant in other establishments it would be a novelty.

This is a social economy type café, with paid staff and supported volunteers with learning disabilities. The menu is very typical "Ulster Fry" type of fare, but they do some healthier options and vegetarians are catered for. The atmosphere is very family and disabled friendly....

met for lunch. good selection of lunches to choose from, but items not available when we called in. meal was lovely and was served by very helpful attendant. restaurant employs disabled persons which are very pleasant and helpful.

Called in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. This is a social enterprise giving training and work placements to people with learning disabilities. I got bacon eggs and toast, and my boyfriend got the Titanic fry - all cooked perfectly and tremendous value for money....

This is a cafe/restaurant at the corner of Bloomfield Ave and Newtownards Rd. It is unique as the table staff all have learning difficulties but you couldn't meet more friendlier people. When you sit down they bring you a menu and leave a pad and...

Espresso East has a great atmosphere. The food was excellent and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I can't wait for my next visit.

This is a great social enterprise were a lot of the staff have learning issues. The only thing better than the staff is the food, both are excellent.
