Nothing screams it’s the weekend more, than a lazy stroll to grab a chilled iced coffee and a fresh pastry. Absolute goals!

Iced coffee season is well and truly here now that the weather has picked up for summer. We typically only have a small window of sun here in Northern Ireland, so let's make the most of it and indulge ourselves.

We’ve pieced together some of our favourite coffee hangouts that offer iced coffee goodness:

Check it out:

Established Coffee

Experts in all things coffee, Established Coffee is one of the most popular cafés in Belfast. Nestled in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, you'll find a variety of coffees from across the world, each hand-selected and loved by the team. Doesn't that smooth Iced Matcha Latte look divine!

District Coffee

Good weather calls for iced coffee - and this pic makes us instantly thirsty! With stores on the Lisburn, Stranmillis and Ormeau Road you can't miss them!

Coffee & Cactus

Tucked within the popular Maryville Ave furniture store Maven, sits Coffee & Cactus. The unique name is pretty simple - as you wait for your iced beverage why not shop through some of their exotic plants and treasures. We love it! They also have a handy hatch that's open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am - 4pm.

Coop Coffee

If the cute pink caravan wasn't enough, Coop Coffee's new summer menu is a whole new level of 'Instagram-heaven!' We've got two words - SUPERFOOD LATTES! These colourful cups are filled with amazing health benefits to boost your immune system.

General Merchants

You must be new to the city or living under a rock if you haven't heard or seen someone visit General Merchants. With four locations across the city, East Belfast, Ormeau Road, Forestside and Stranmillis, you won't have to travel too far on a hot day for one of these chilled favourites.

The Pocket

Another super quirky spot in the centre of Belfast is The Pocket, located on the Flat Iron Building. Treat yourself to an insane brunch moment, perhaps the French toast or almond croissant. All washed down with a refreshing iced drink, perfection!

Sinnamon

This family-run, cosy café offers customers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's a fantastic spot to just sit and watch the world go by. Their experienced baristas pride themselves on crafting the perfect cup of coffee from their extensive menu.

Railway St

Fancy a trip to the seaside? Railway St in Newcastle and Seaforde can help you out with a caffeine hit. Whether you're in the mood for something milky smooth or super sweet, check out their summer favourites and enjoy!

Canteen

This very aesthetically pleasing spot is relatively new to the scene on the Ormeau Road, but they're already making coffee waves! Be sure to grab a snap for the 'gram before you tuck in, once you start eating, you won't want to stop!

Batch

Located in Cairn Wood, this hidden gem in on the outskirts of Belfast is an absolute treat! What started out as a quaint little horse box back in May 2021, is now a roaring success thanks to a lick of paint and raving reviews .If you do check it out, we highly recommend their iced coconut mocha, it's delicious!
