Orchard Café is a social enterprise cafe in Bloomfield House at 395–405 Newtownards Road in Belfast. It combines a public breakfast and lunch venue with training and employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autism.
The kitchen uses local produce to present what the cafe describes as a taste of Ulster. Breakfast dishes, light bites and more complete lunches give visitors a practical daytime choice, whether they are stopping for coffee or sitting down for a fuller meal.
Sandwiches and toasties are supported by hot dishes, sides and sweet treats, while tea and coffee make the cafe useful throughout the day. The approachable format and emphasis on local ingredients suit casual meals and community visits rather than formal dining.
By eating at Orchard Café, customers also support the wider social purpose behind the operation and the skills developed through its catering work. Menus can change with supply and training activity, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should ask the cafe team about the current dishes.
Address: Bloomfield House, 395–405 Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 1RH, Northern Ireland
