This place does not need an introduction which is serving Belmont road for long and is favourite among the customers. It's busy most of the time. They have an outdoor seating and spacious interior too. Service is excellent as the food is.

Amazing staff and service. Ordered the matcha as I had seen them post about introducing it on Instagram and our serves was lovely and asked for my feedback as it was a new addition (was delish). Food was lovely and came quickly. Absolutely gorgeous inside and will definitely be back.

Came here on a bank holiday to have a coffee before I got my flight. It was busy but there wasn't a long wait until a table was free and there is seating upstairs. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks looked and tasted delicious. They have a kids menu with crayons for colouring in. If I had come over lunch, I would have tried the chicken ceaser salad.

A very happy customer here. Beautiful food. A few vegan options only but nothing to complain about because everything I have tried is beautiful. People I have been with always rave about their French toast. It looks to die for. Their coffee is also sooooo tasty. Also appreciate how they have a stamp card for coffees too. Lovely outdoor area as well. Their hatch is great. Service has always been lovely in both quiet and busy periods. I hope staff are happy here too, they certainly seem to be, as the whole set up here is fantastic.

Always a lovely spot for lunch. I've been a number of times and the food has always been good. Membership plus 15% off as well. Has a take away hatch too

Had coffee and scones from the hatch this morning. The coffee was gorgeous but the star of the show was the 'speciality scone of the day' blueberry and maple! Wow! An absolute taste sensation! I was passing through Belmont at the time and don't live near Cafe Smart so I'm going to be craving the taste until I get back over there. Fingers crossed when I do, it'll be on the menu again! And a bonus was the lovely girl who served me!

Me and boys were over from Yorkshire for a visit to Belfast. We looked for a Sunday morning breakfast and we found Cafe Smart. At 11am on a Sunday it was heaving busy but they found us a seat. The boys were impressed with their individual teapots and my coffee was superb. My eldest had the adult portion of banana and Nutella pancakes and he was very impressed. My youngest had a bacon butty and said he would travel back from England for another one. I had the Eggs Tower and it was an absolute picture. Eggs, black pudding, bacon sausage, hash browns in a stack and it was amazing. Service was outstanding and food was great value, very tasty, great quality and I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great morning.
