My friends and I were staying close by at the Global Village hostel and on our last morning in…read moreBelfast, we were craving a good sit down brunch. We hopped on Yelp and saw that French Village was just down the street, so we just walked on over. For a Saturday morning it was quite busy, but we were lucky to get a table for 4 people right away. They have a pretty standard breakfast menu with your typical french toast, pancakes, bagel, hash, scrambled eggs, etc. Between the four of us, we pretty much ordered the whole menu, which was great because that means I got to try a bit of everything. For myself I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. It was good, but I don't think it was exactly what I was feeling that morning. I really enjoyed bites of their raspberry & white chocolate pancakes and frech toast though. I'd definitely recommend that if you've got a sweet tooth. On top of that, we got an assortment of different coffees and smoothies at our table. I went for a soy milk latte for myself and a strawberry banana smoothie. Both hit the spot perfectly. Service was a little spotty. Our waters were never really refilled (and on a hungover morning, endless water is a necessity), and our server looked a bit angry to be there. The manager came around to see how everything was doing though, which was great! They have a bakery on the other side of the restaurant (where you go to pay), and have an assortment of macarons, muffins, and other baked goods. Before we left, we got a small box of macarons to share and they were lovely! I can't remember all the flavours we got, but everything I tried was delicious. If you're in the University area, definitely a good spot to check out for a nice breakfast.

I bought a box of six of these unbelievably delectable cupcakes at the Uber Chic Charity Fashion…read moreShow yesterday (they had a stall at it) and oh my GOD, they are like the cupcakes you always wanted as a child but cou;d never have. They are sparkly gorgeousness with beautiful creamy icing, edible glitter and soft sponge with delightful extra tastes inside. You might bite into one expecting just sponge but end up with some blueberry juice, or chocolate chips and so forth. These guys are artists, and very very good bakers too. I would recommed them for any 'cake' type event. Yum yum,

Try red velvet with raspberry buttercream topping, they give you an immediate sugar hit that puts your head in the clouds and shocks your taste buds. Each cupcake comes perfectly boxed and presented to perfection - they really do feel like a special treat. There's a sit in option at treat boutique but I worry that if I sit in Id never stop eating! Maybe one day I'll build up enough will power.

This was, quite simply, the single best cupcake I've had in my entire life.read more

Good size cafe. Clean and well laid out…read more Good parking. Breakfast was good. Well cooked meat and eggs. Tea and coffee came on time and regular warm pots to follow. Scones are lush. I had loads of blueberry and White choc. One of the best scones I have ever had. It was warm with melted choc drizzled on top. Didn't need any butter etc on it. Staff where nice first time. On Friday night for desserts they where not as good. Was disappointed at the desserts on the Friday night especially as it was a dessert specific night. They didn't have much to offer and it was a bit pricey.

This place is great. Who doesn't like cookies?! When you enter this place the first thing you get…read moreis this intense smell from the ovens of freshly baking disks of yum. Unlike its newer store in town, there is actually room in this one to sit down and enjoy one (or 12) of their vast array of home baked cookies. Their range is enormous, but I would suggest to staying traditional and getting their choc chip cookies. You can't go wrong with these awesome, awesome cookies.

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies!!…read more I love the Cookie Box and even more so that I found this branch on the Lisburn Road as the one in the city centre is so tiny. They sell the most amazing cookies and at only £1.19 each they're quite the bargain. You can buy 5 for £4.95 or ten for £8.95. So So Tempting! They also offer a huge range of milkshakes from the traditional such as strawberry to the wacky such as cookies and milk! And they really are great! Its great to be able to sit in and just gorge! Though I'm sure my waistline gave up on me as soon as it seen this place!

Our last night in Ireland…read more In search for Sticky Toffee, a dessert popular in Europe, Hope Street in Belfast came through. I had the tomato soup which was particularly flavorful and very rich. I really like the taste of strong soups. Paired with a crisp, well-balanced salad, it made for a perfect combination of light yet satisfying dishes. This sticky toffee is something. It's like a brownie stuffed with caramel but it's not caramel, it's something else, maybe a date mixture? I don't know and I don't care. It was scrumptious. The freshness of the ingredients stood out here like everywhere in Europe. This is a solid spot to eat in Belfast.
