"Rude staff here. My elderly Mum and I popped in for coffee just before 3 last Friday afternoon. At no point did any of the three members of staff inform us the cafe would be closing less than half an hour later. Instead they happily brought menus to the table. Mum ordered a scone, complete with (unnecessary) condiments and a cappuccino and I ordered a cappuccino. Luckily we didn’t order a meal as we would have had to inhale it! As my Mum hadn’t finished her scone, I left her there while I nipped out to pick up my son from school. When I got back, she said the attitude from the female member of staff had not been too nice, the implication being she had overstayed her welcome. Well what do they expect when they serve customers food? They have to eat it! When I then mentioned to a male member of staff (owner maybe?)that the fact they were closing was not mentioned to us at any stage and especially at the point of ordering, he argued with me and was really very unpleasant. Then he closed the door on me. The customer service leaves a lot to be desired here. They are very happy to take your money but then rush you out the door. First and last visit here."

Must be the most expensive hot drinks in East Belfast. Can’t justify the price so won’t be back. Shame.

I visited this restaurant once before and had an absolutely wonderful meal. I was looking forward to going again and arrived at 14:30 on a Monday afternoon in mid-June. They were closed despite it saying online (in at least two different places) that they’d be open until 16:00. Very disappointing.

Excellent for breakfast, brunch or lunch!Consistently good wholesome home cooked food, great value, in a lovely cosy environment. The service is exceptional and at busy times they keep you updated on how your order is coming along. Have been here several times, with friends and family, and am never disappointed.

Ate here today for the first time and will certainly be back again! Food was fresh, delicious, well presented and a generous portion. Great menu for brunch/lunch. The guys working there were extremely welcoming and attentive. Its so lovely to go somewhere that actually ticks all the boxes, and even better its right on our doorstep! Beats any of those well known, overpriced coffee shops that you find on every high street/ shopping centre, hands down. Keep up the great work Toast! View menu

I ate here on Tue 20th Sept 22, and had a small fry. The meal was served promptly and with a nice cup of coffee. Standard of presentation was good and it was all served on quality IKEA crockery. Not just your ordinary white plates here!. Decor was nice with a Wood and Stone theme going on. Service was quick and efficient. Food tasted good and was of a good standard. Points to consider! When putting beans in a Microwave they can become (and were) boiling and would take the skin off your mouth. Secondly Mushrooms are a delicate vegetable, best not to power boil then in Oil when serving with food. Suggest using a little milk, water and butter.

Oh my word, what a find this was. Definitely by far the best Ulster fry in belfast by a country mile. My wife had the breakfast burrito which she commented on being very fresh, tasty really filling, I had their “big fry” which was such a relief to find somewhere that can still cook a proper fry make it to a very high standard. The decor Leads itself away from the hustle bustle of the manic traffic business of daily life, you will literally feel your body unwind, as your greeted by the friendliest staff that Northern Ireland used to be associated with many moons ago. We just arrived before before the rush around 12:30pm you could literally see people relax away from the outside world, a very...

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."
