Jamaica Blue Forestside

Really good coffee, lovely staff and excellent scones and Danish. Hard to beat.

Jamaica Blue I called in around 1pm ish which is lunchtime and the place was buzzing with customers eating and drinking their beverages. The venue is nice spacious seating that extends to the back of the establishment, music is settle not screaming loud that you can’t hear yourself speak. The layout is cozy has a sort of rustic vibe with the hanging lights that gives out a warm glow, while the overhead mini led suspended lights aren’t too bright the temperature of the place is just right, could be that is still early spring. The staff looked attentive there I were guess some new starts whom looked a bit lost but that goes for all places until you get the ropes and know what to do. Needless to say the atmosphere has been very warm and pleasant will definitely call in again when in the area. If you haven’t been before you should definitely check it out. After ordering and getting a number I made my way to my seat which you find yourself and then place the number on the table for staff to bring your order over, food and coffee ordered about 6mins, my Americano (blue mountain beans) followed shortly with my bagel, will get to that in a moment with descriptions. Waiting time is acceptable, as I have waited longer in other places especially during busy times and this was lunch time 6 mins is pretty fast (how do I know it was around 6mins), well I normally play a game of chess when I wait and I looked at the clock on my phone when the staff brought over my coffee. Even if you brew your own freshly ground coffee using beans and a V60 plus freshly boiled water it will take time and if you can’t wait for proper coffee etc. you really are going to the wrong place instead you need to go to fast food establishments not order and have your drink or drinks made fresh where the food is prepared and toasted when ordered not ready heated and waiting! Blue mountain Americano 4.40 Taste mellow and nice sweet after taste aroma fragrant “Try me bagel “ 7.20 Has red peppers chorizos Watercress rocket dressing balsamic oil vinegar Soft toasted bagel cheese melted not overpowering the bagel is nice and chewy The chorizo is nice not overly salty can feel the aroma waffle through the nose when breathing out after biting overall it’s done nice not greasy at all Having a bite of the side salad condiment then eating the bagel it compliments itself quite well giving a refreshing after bite, which I believe the balsamic dressing plays apart in its appeal.

Had the best chicken caesar salad ever in here. Nice place, good staff and reasonably priced.

Always choose here for a lovely lunch. Menu very varied and food of a really high quality. Seating a bit 'tight' & I think the signs for how to order your food should be more prominently displayed on front window. I've seen new customers seated, not realising they have to self order as you come in.

Fantastic food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Nice to get something that resembles healthy in Belfast. Lol

Love the place for the wonderful staff and amazing bagels and coffee, perfect place to take rest from shopping and then refuelling to shop more, its kids friendly and has great food options

It was our first time here we had the big breakfast (very big and tasty) with 2 lovely coffees. A few negitive comments but we still tried it (people likes to complain a lot lol ). And will definitely be back. The food was amazing and the service was excellent

Great coffee and nice good. Had the sausage and egg Bagel. Nice atmosphere.
