After a long night of travel without much sleep, we arrived at our hotel in Belfast and were directed to this restaurant for a quick bite before exploring the city. Initially, the staff behind the counter seemed a bit unfriendly and unhelpful, perhaps due to our unfamiliarity with the local cuisine. However, we quickly moved past that and enjoyed some coffee and snacks to hold us over until dinner. The restaurant offers a selection of prepared sandwiches and pastries in the counter window, and they are willing to heat up items upon request. The grilled cheese was delicious, and the muffins were a hit with our group. Additionally, they offer a local coffee that was well-received by members of...
This café was so good I went back instead of trying a new place when I was in Belfast! They had a very nice sweet potato and coconut soup with bread for 4.95, and a yum bowl for 5.95. The yum bowl was vegetarian and very filling I didn't have dinner that night. (Ask the staff about it if you go! They also had quite generously portioned tray bakes for 1.95 that you can check out when you go in the door! They have a lovely system in place of paying forward a cup of coffee/tea or a bowl of soup for someone in need, if you wish to do so. If you would like to buy somebody a coffee or soup, just let them know when you pay your bill.
Today I had the best coffee I’ve ever tasted and if that wasn’t enough, the staff of common grounds were all the most wonderful people who will go out of their way to ensure you have the best possible experience while you visit. It is clear to see the love that the staff have for this café, as soon as you enter you can almost feel the happy vibes that radiate from each member of staff. The yum bowl is precise in its name as it is YUMMY, definitely recommend trying it!! I can’t wait for my next visit to common grounds (which will be very soon) for another great experience.
Everytime I come here, I promise myself that I'll try something other than their delicious Yum Bowl. But it's just so good, I can't help myself and I reorder it everytime! Great chill atmosphere, plugs for computers, outdoor seating on a nice day, and friendly staff. Can't fault the place.

My favourite Belfast coffee shop! Coffee and food are great and staff are friendly. Common Grounds has a really nice atmosphere. At certain times of the day it can get quite busy, but that's such a small thing compared to how much I like this place that it still gets five stars.
This charming café offers a wide variety of delicious homemade food and drinks. My favorite part was the peaceful garden on the side. They even have a pizza oven, so I'll definitely be back to try their pizzas.
This restaurant offers a variety of fresh, vegetarian dishes. The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed. Definitely worth visiting more than once.
Common grounds was great! Food was really good. We got a sausage roll and a cinnamon bun. The coffee was fab too! Will be coming back :
