I had the pleasure of dining at 5a Cafe in Stranmillis, and it was a truly delightful experience. I decided to try their Special Eggs on Sourdough, and I must say, it was a culinary masterpiece!The dish was expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of acidity and fat that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The tangy notes from the sourdough bread harmonized beautifully with the richness of the eggs. It was a satisfying and wholesome meal that left me feeling restored and content.The attention to detail and the thoughtful combination of flavors truly made this dish stand out. It's evident that the chefs at 5a Cafe take pride in their craft, as each bite was a delightful revelation.Aside from the exceptional food, the cafe's ambiance was cozy and inviting, providing a relaxed and pleasant setting to enjoy the meal.

Nice little cafe in stranmillis area, they have yummy small selection of food so they are always busy especially in the weekends. Recently, they renovated their space so more tables inside. If you are exploring Belfast you can grab a cup of coffee from here and enjoy it while walking by the river lagan down the street.

Really busy for a wednesday afternoon. Hot chocolate was beaut on such a cold morning. Food was delicious. Had the breakfast bap. Staff member serving was really helpful and efficient. Kitchen staff were really friendly interacting with the baby at the table.

Quesed up at the service window and got a hot chocolate , blondie, and a salted caramel brownie. Great tasty treats are worth a visit .

The Brunch menu on the website didn't work for me before I went, but the menu on site was fine. Food was good and came out quickly after being ordered, service was ok but could be a bit more attentive. Get some sweeteners in please :-)

I have been going to 5a for coffee for years but never ate in it until today. Sorry to say I was very unimpressed. I hate a table being cleaned by someone just sweeping the mess on to your chair, before you have even sat down then you have to clean the chair yourself. Also I ordered water. They brought a bottle with 2 used and very dirty glasses. This was a put off but thought ok its lunch time and it's an oversight. I asked the girl to replace them. She said OK, but never came back with any new glasses. Food came out and I was given dirty cutlery with food bits crusted on to the knife. I had those replaced. We had the chicken waffles and the granola. The waffles were absolutely swimming in maple syrup which was very sickening and inedible. Maybe I should have asked for it on the side but it was really far too much on the dish. My granola had a hair in it. I didn't complain, we just left. I was with my daughter so just felt that from the start it was a disaster. Was disappointing because we were really hungry and left it all. They lost me after the dirty glasses and cutlery. Expected much more..

Visited here with my daughter for a quick lunch. Good soup with sour dough bread. My daughter had the waffles with chicken. Good coffee. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Very clean and spacious wash room.

I have been a huge fan of general merchants for years and this was my first visit to 5a.Sitting outside (not takeaway, just outside on their seats!) the meal is delivered in a cardboard box. With cardboard cutlery. Cardboard cups.Not only is this a huge environmental waste, it makes this feel like a very very overpriced meal. I don’t really want to eat eggs out of a box.Who thought up this policy? Bizarre! Very disappointed

Intense flat white. Roasted a bit deep but there’s still a little fresh fruitiness.The wooden interior is spacious and cozy. The brunch items look delicious. Pity I had breakfast and have lunch plans. But I did had a mysterious PBB to go— little bombs of peanut butter :>
