We had a wonderful dining experience thanks to the exceptional staff at this restaurant. They made us feel incredibly welcomed and were highly accommodating.The chai was awesome.French toast to die for.The only downside is that the tables are a bit close to each other; not the best for a private conversation. I expect this will get very busy during peak hours.

Recommended to us and it didn't disappoint. It does get busy so be prepared to wait for a table. Great service, the food was fantastic and we enjoyed it so much we stayed for another coffee.

Caught up in the Belfast Pride Parade buzz, we slipped into the pocket for a late brunch around 3pm. Surprisingly, it wasn't as crowded as I thought. My go-to, the Korean BBQ Chicken Bapper, didn't disappoint — loved the kimchi twist. Iced latte cooled me down just right.This is my third visit, and I'm still in love. Cozy, cute, and well-decorated, it's my go-to brunch spot!

We had a wonderful dining experience at the pocket. The selection of brunch options all looked equally appetising, there’s something for everyone. The staff are extremely accommodating and so friendly. The coffee quality was top class. We had the mushroom toast and roasted butternut squash and goats cheese, both of which were superb. The staff were so kind that they allowed myself and my boyfriend to leave our bags there for an hour which we walked around the square before grabbing a bus home. Would highly recommend this place for brunch/ lunch. Top class!

Perfect sized menu, good variety of choices that make me want to go back and try them all.Excellent service; quick, professional and friendly.The establishment was clean, well presented with a laid back, comfy and cozy atmosphere.Serving 3fe as their main espresso; a world renowned coffee roaster from Dublin. We had 5 coffees on our table, all were delicious. My only feedback would be my espresso was a little thin. Besides that, amazing!

A small & charming little cafe with interesting food selections. Our party of four chose an Almond Croissant (too dry for my liking, would have been much better had it been warmed before serving), The Green Eggs on Toast and the Lavender French Toast were delicious and the presentation was beautiful.The Cappuccinos were WAY too Dark and Strong (I only took two sips and could not stomach a third). The service while friendly was painfully slow. A little off putting to have the Restroom directly in the Dining Area!
