The Lamppost Cafe
C.S Lewis themed caf in east Belfast taken over by new management in summer 2017, C.S Lewis quotations and references throughout the caf, vintage crockery and music make our family business cosy and welcoming to all. Our quiet room upstairs lets you take the stress of your day away from you, not forgetting our fabulous food, coffee, tea and delicious tray-bakes all using local produce and suppliers.

Did we mention we are dog friendly? So let your furry friends join you for lunch! We can't wait to see you!

Just send us a message with a little info and we will get back to you with our function pack and options!

Really really disappointed with the lamppost, we order coffee and food for take out, my sausage roll was practically raw and the French toast we ordered was overly drenched in syrup and just wasn’t pleasant to eat. Coffee was okay but the waitress made us feel extremely unwanted, I also enquired about booking a Christmas dinner at Lampost, waitress was hesitant when I asked about booking and said we had to email to book (it says on the Christmas menu to ask a member of staff) I got the feeling she just didn’t want us there. Really not happy about paying for lacklustre food and the poor service

Discovered this little gem of a place today. A haven of cosiness in the Christmas madness. Fab vegan options on the menu and cheerful, helpful staff too. The decor is magical and it made it difficult to have to go face the Christmas shopping again! Planning my next visit already......

I don't usually leave reviews but I called in here at the weekend and it was a lovely experience. Blonde waitress was helpful and attentive. Even though it was really busy I didn't have to wait long and service was excellent. Good food, good coffee.

The best thing about this place is the decor. Felt kind of cramped inside with wobbly chairs.Staff were not that friendly and if you don't like dogs then definitely don't come here! Food was average had the French toast. Wouldn't rush back..

Was a lovely place to go to but found it very slow at seating you and serving you took so long to take the order and then to make it I got French toast and they were very skimpy on the Maple syrup the bread was nice and think but very dry as not enough syrup

Love this place been a couple of times now for brunch. Great vegan menu. The food is fresh and tasty there's a good selection. Lovely cakes and buns and good choice of teas etc. Also do afternoon tea which I'm planning on doing soon. I loved the decor which is based on the CSLewis Narnia books. The staff are lovely helpful and friendly and its dogs friendly what's not to love.

A beautiful, quaint, little dog friendly café tucked away beside the Hollywood Arches bus stop. Delicious home style food, great vintage music, the overall feel is wonderful. I keep coming back.

Absolutely Gorgeous.
The atmosphere is very welcoming, looks like being in Narnia. Very well decorated.
The food is incredible!! Never had a Rubarb compote and custard cream french toast, and it's a great combination, especially with the toasted granola over the top.
The scone was amazing as well.
