Right up my alley, coffee and bicycles! Great little place, but their hours could be a little better, it took a few trips to Belfast before I actually got to try them out. They have great coffee and reasonably priced bicycles.

The coffee is consistently perfect. The baked goods are phenomenal. I’d highly recommend stopping by. I wish I could include pictures but the baked good never last long enough. The ham and cheese biscuits are incredible.

This is my go-to cafe, not only for the quality of their home roasted coffee, but the friendliness of the staff and the convivial vibes. One of the hubs of Belfast, Downshift caffeine fuels our community with warm winter vibes and sweet summer cooling. Thank you, Nathaniel for creating this essential service!

Definitely a good stop for coffee and breakfast! The maple spice latte was incredible and I’m very picky with my lattes. The tomato basil tart was delicious! Staff was super friendly and service was quick. Glad we made the stop here!

Music was dreadful for a morning time. Definitely a local because they put more energy into talking to their people than customers. The pastry and coffee are great. They definitely don’t like people who are not known to them. Unfortunate cause I’m new to the area looking for a local place but after experiencing them once never again.

Coffee was great. However, Bit of an attitude from the girl being the counter because I brought my dog in. Despite it being a service dog. She never asked. She just assumed and told me "no dogs allowed" then told me to leave and she would bring coffee out. Honey cake was delish. First time trying that. Apparently, it is a thing here.

Delicious coffee! My only wish is that they made their own syrups, but adding maple syrup or honey with cinnamon is a great alternative.

Amazing coffee! We visited this coffee shop several times while on vacation in Belfast. We got cups to go and enjoyed them along the harbor walk.

After having regular drip coffee for a week straight it was SO NICE to have a well made latte. The shop was bright and cheerful and the people that were working were very friendly and laid back.
