Causeway Cafe — Restaurant in Belfast

Disappointment is an UNDERSTATEMENT when visiting Causeway Cafe. For a start, we walked in and was seated right away as there was nobody else bar 1 couple who were already waiting for food in there. We were given sticky, unhygienic menus which had seen better days, and the tables were tacky and sticky too. When we went up to the counter to order our food, people were very inattentive, and I should have seen the sign when the lady in there was complaining about the waiting time of her food. After ordering very simple food and drinks, our drinks arrived 20 minutes later. In addition, our food came a whole 45 minutes later. If the cafe was busy, I would have understood the wait time, however there was ONE couple already in there who got their food just before we did, so goodness knows how long the poor souls were waiting. The whole time we were waiting, all we could hear was inappropriate chatting from the kitchen, loud random singing, which sounded like a screeching cat. I wish I had just complained. When our food arrived, it looked completely inedible, and very sparse, cold, and we do not understand HOW it took them 45 minutes to cook a gone off rasher of bacon and a pathetic excuse for a sausage. We didn’t eat this, it all felt so unhygienic, and microwaved to say the least. As we are nice people, we thanked them as we left (in a hurry) and didn’t want to be rude and complain directly. Then as we stood up to the door, one young waitress looked at her colleague and mumbled and glared under her breath about us, which is UNACCEPTABLE when we were offered such filthy food. Do better. This seriously ruined our trip. I felt ill all day after trying the bacon. do not recommend. Wish we complained and got our money back, but given the attitude on the employees, we probably would have been eye rolled out. Upset. Do better.

Instead, go to the Neighbourhood cafe. More than half of wait time for food, absolutely delicious, and...

Everything is perfectly toasted and fried, with a delightful crispness. It not greasy at all.

So happy that I came here before flying out! Building my own breakfast is a little more expansive than the set, but customization is fun. It’s my first time trying the veggie roll (beef sausage) and it’s very flavorful. I also like the crunchier texture of the clonakilty black and white puddings. The potato and (slightly salted) soda farls are also tasty.

Didn’t expect latte art in the simple looking cafe, but here it is. I appreciate it despite the probably ordinary beans.

It was empty when I went in. Did the hostel people already left or are they still sleeping :3 Then more people from the neighborhood came. The elderly are always a good sign.

The staff is really welcoming. No fancy decorations here, but the anti-instagrammability attitude is cool isn’t it ;) Focus on the food. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing— you can hear the laughter, singing, and cheerful good...

I don't like to post bad reviews - and I won't bash you too hard even with this one - but I feel some honest and constructive criticism is in your interest: the service is painfully, excruciatingly SLOW. The grave thing is you even put a cardboard on the entrance, claiming you sell ready-to-go lunchboxes to tour-goers, misleading people in believing your service times are compatible with those of the tours. I came 30 minutes before the departure of my tour, and ordered a coffee & croissant + a simple cold ham sandwich to take away. It took TWENTY MINUTES to get a simple coffee cup ready, and had to cancel the rest of the order because at that point my bus was about to leave. The refund of the missing items was prompt and swift - which is good - but that's also a sign that this routinely happens, so it's clear you have a problem here. I wish you good luck and hope you manage to improve your...
