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.

Great Brunch. The Eggs Benedict was first class and gluten free options available. I had the salmon option. The Vietnamese Ice Coffee was excellent and the barista, Summa knows coffee. Unfortunately it closes at 2 pm, 1pm Queensland time.

We were greeted by the friendly staff on arrival and provided opportunity to decide on choices for our meal even though they were close to closing time. We needed gluten free for two meals and the staff were so understanding and accommodated our needs with ease. The food and coffee was very tasty. Smooth coffee, very yummy. The staff were kind and had a bit of a chat which makes the experience even better. Highly recomend.

What a fish and chip shop should be. Best chips around. The only thing that would improve this place is a gluten free batter option for fish etc but I'm grateful for the gluten free chips.

Absolutely delicious. Fresh, homemade, healthy. Able to accommodate gluten free and dairy free. Almost old school! A nice alternative to the same-old-same-old cafes and fast food joints.

We have been coming here for a very long time but we’re done. Paying $72.36 for two coffees and two eggs Benedict. Never been charged before for asking for gluten free $2.00 each, $6.00 each for bacon with a Sunday surcharge of $7.20. WOW !!!!!! Not advised of the Sunday surcharge!! Too late to have my coffees cancelled, but they came out cold and too milky. We had breakfast here only a couple of weeks ago and paid $101 to feed four of us. We’re locals and you won’t be seeing us again, and will be warning others not to attend there and get robbed. Very disappointing
