Cafe Mauds

Recently renovated, this cafe is busy day and night. Along with their famous ice cream and crepes, they offer a lunch menu with a range of sandwiches, salads and soups. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. After your meal, you can head across the road to Drumglass park and enjoy some people watching.

Mad Hatter Cafe

This family-run cafe serves wonderful home cooked food at a great price. For lunch you can opt for sandwiches, soups, or a traditional Belfast stew. With some reviewers stating the cafe has a relaxed and comfortable environment- it is a great place to bring a senior and catch up over a coffee.
