Pottingers Cafe Belfast

Head down Pottinger's Entry in the city centre and you'll find yourself in one of Belfast's best-kept corners. This place does the essentials brilliantly—think quality coffee that doesn't taste like it's been through a chemistry experiment, plus proper food that changes with the seasons. The bare-brick interior and communal tables mean you're either chatting with strangers or getting stuck into your laptop, and somehow both feel equally welcome here. It's the sort of spot where regulars know the staff by name and the queue out the door on Saturday morning isn't a coincidence.
