Who we are -

We are an Irish brunch cafe based in Belfast. Neighbourhood’s origin came about as Oisin McEvoy and Ryan Crown wanted to create an effortless, local spot where friends, families and colleagues can come together and experience an elevated brunch and coffee offering that represents the best of Irish coffee and local ingredients.

Combining Oisin’s operational expertise with Ryan’s design eye, the vision was to create a design led, brunch focused cafe for locals, tourists and workers alike.

At Neighbourhood, we are firmly committed to maintaining an exceptional level of quality. This unwavering dedication to excellence is evident every single day in the meticulously crafted coffee that we produce. Each cup serves as a testament to our high standards, embodying our passion and commitment to providing our customers with nothing but the best. At Neighbourhood, service is our top priority. We strive to ensure that our customers are happier when they leave than when they arrived. People may not remember what they ate or drank, but they always remember how they felt. At Neighbourhood, we aim to make people's day with the service they receive.
