Vintage Kolektyw Cafe & Shop in Belfast

"Absolutely amazing shop with wonderful vintage pieces of furniture and lighting. I don't know of another place in Belfast that has anything similar. It also sells delicious coffees and teas, tray bakes and pastries. The staff are great and so friendly. A real Aladdin's cave in the middle of the city."

"First time visit. Very quiet (typical January!) as you can see from the photo. Lovely coffee and vegan slice. Very comfortable seating and the posters etc on the walls are really interesting. Spotlessly clean, including the toilets. Good service. Slight aside ... this was my Grandfather then Aunt then Uncle's Newsagent/Bookshop/Tobacconist's back in the day. Marshall's was an institution in Belfast. Nice to be back."

"We were lucky to find this café on our way back from a tour in Clifton House. It serves excellent coffees and teas, and there was a delicious selection of baked goods...full marks to the Basque Cheesecake. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and while you are enjoying your coffee and cake there is a súper collection of unusual antique glass and pottery, much of it for sale. This was my first visit and i am glad i found this unusual and very interesting coffee shop...highly recommend it...it is completely different from the conventional coffee shops on every high street!"

"This was a surprise destination for a social coffee. It is beautiful, intricate and has the most interesting items both aesthetically pleasing and also available for purchase. This is part of a collective effort and a wonderful group. The coffe and food are excellent and recommended. This is a good place."

"Really unique place with excellent coffee and welcoming staff. There's loads of interesting bits and pieces to buy and unusual art on the walls. Clockwork orange kinda vibe! Would recommend the basque cheesecake. We were served a massive slice for £5."

"Excellent espresso, delicious cuisine, and a pleasant setting. In particular, the cake I had for the first time—Basque cheesecake—was excellent. Great setting, distinctive art, and pleasant vibe! Staff members are friendly."

"Found this place by mistake. Brilliant coffee, the employee was full of chat amd very welcoming, the vibe inside as well was fantastic. Lovely space. Will be back."

"What an unexpected treasure. We were heading back into central Belfast having visited Crumlin Road Gaol and needed to rest our legs and have a coffee. Cue this place. From what I can tell it's a vintage interiors shop that serves coffee and cake. The place is an eclectic mix of late 20th century design; where you consume your refreshments on impeccably clean and beautifully curated vintage furniture, some of which is also for sale. It's a feast for the senses. My winter-spiced coffee and New York cheesecake were delicious and served as the perfect accompaniment to a few precious restful moments sitting in what felt like a tiny outpost of Tate Modern. Skip the Costas and Starbucks of the city centre and spend five extra minutes seeking out this place, it doesn't disappoint."
