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.
