Love this place soo much from its clean food, clean surroundings, and Michael the waiter! Seriously, he’s the reason I keep coming back. Having great food and great surroundings but not having friendly staff who you can have a joke with is a deal breaker for me so when Michael is working you know you’re going to get great service and be well looked after. Thank you Michael for making our day

Was delighted by my sweet potato and kale salad. Tasty, with a few surprise ingredients thrown in. Service was okay, maybe something to work on. Lovely atmosphere and would come back.

I was looking for a cozy café and happened to stumble upon Belle Central. The decor and atmosphere immediately appealed to me. I tried a dandy latte, which I had never had before, and a piece of salted caramel. Delicious, and the service was pleasant as well. The selection of sugar-free and gluten-free options is perfect for me. I would love to come back.
