The Cafe
The Lamppost Café is more than just a homage to CS Lewis, it is an escape; a unique and quaint safe haven in the heart of east Belfast.
The cafe has two floors; downstairs is the lively teashop, with Narnia décor and a 1930’s vibe. Upstairs is the Writers Room, a reimagining of CS Lewis’ writers study, where customers can escape the lively atmosphere of Narnia and are encouraged to relax, play chess, or read one of the books from our eclectic bookshelf.
Many customers are self-employed and will sit with their laptops and happily work away all day. In a busy world, this room is a place to press pause, disappear for the afternoon or even just sit by the window, have a coffee and watch the world go by and with Classic FM as the soundtrack, it’s hard not to feel relaxed.

Facilities
It is important that everyone feels welcome at The Lamppost; this is why as well as being dog friendly the cafe is also family friendly. There are highchairs for little ones and baby changing facilities for even littler ones, with a complimentary basket full of everything you need to freshen up the wee beauties, for those just-in-case moments.
