Established Coffee
Established Coffee has been a bit of a trendsetter in Belfast’s burgeoning cafe scene, hitting the ground running from its inception with painfully cool interior design, superb speciality coffee and a great, welcoming atmosphere. Although hip and up-to-the minute it retains some of the traditional Belfast magic, notably a commitment to traybakes and buns, and somehow pulls off being cutting-edge trendy and warm and unpretentious. One of the best spots for coffee in town. Open Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, and Sunday 9am to 6pm.
