What sunsatori doesn't like about Belle General:
Hmmm.. what to say? Like most vegetarians, I have tried their avocado on toast with coconut feta, which is pretty nice BTW. Their coffee is quite good too, but I haven't tried anything else on their menu. The most outstanding (and perhaps disturbing thing) is their leather menu folders and leather chairs ... maybe veg*ns are just not their target market. View all feedback. What Dan Florentin likes about Belle General:
This is a really lovely spot. It feels like a local neighbourhood cafe with a charming and friendly atmosphere. Great loose-leaf tea and homemade muffins, and lots of smiles and personal engagement. I have a hard time in cafes where the music is foreground, and they were cheerful in adjusting the volume and style of music. View all feedback.

Excellent coffee, very delicious food. There can often be a wait for a table on weekends, but it's definitely the best brunch option in town.
