TCG nerds, this is your home. I always travel with MTG decks and as soon as I saw this place from hotel window I was in. Went in, asked for a game and got one (thanks Bill!). Brilliant atmosphere, pleasant staff and you can get your coffee, food or booster jam on easily. Great place to drop in on when doing the titanic stuff.

The coffee in the original Robin's on the Holywood Road was spectacular. I stopped in at the new Titanic cafe to check it out again. Was not disappointed, still the same great coffee. Quite simply the best cup of coffee you'll get in Belfast (or anywhere else really).

Super family friendly cafe perfectly situated in titanic quarter. Our party of 8 enjoyed a very reasonably priced and delicious lunch today and couldn't fault anything. Will definitely be back and can thoroughly recommend.
