A great place for tea, coffee and food. Nice outdoor seating area adjacent to a community garden. The prices represent excellent value for money.

Everybody was very friendly, the food was excellent quality (the best breakfast I've had in Belfast) and arrived quickly. The portion sizes are very good. We had a Goliath fry, an all day fry, French toast and a ham sandwich, and everybody was satisfied.

My bus goes past Skainos every day, and I've been here for conferences a few times but I'd never been in Refresh Cafe. This place is a true community space. It fills up with local people every day, and genuinely seems to be utterly irreplaceable. I decided to have a fry, and Sammy and the team are super helpful and friendly. I had a huge fry, which was beautifully cooked, good quality and an exceptional price. I don't think for the price vs quality there is a better place is whole of East Belfast. Highly recommended!!
