  Yes il have a big breakfast hold the beans please!
  As frys go this place is memorable.
  I have been twice now and have enjoyed each time.
  I love the seating, most comfortable.
  The service is hit or miss to be honest which kinda makes me sad as this place has potential to be a hot spot for north Belfast.

  Ok, so I visited this North Belfast newbie today and there were a few things I loved about it and a few things I really didn't like. I start with things I loved...
  
  It seems to be a bit of a a jack of all trades, serving Ice Cream, coffees of all varieties, hot food and sandwiches. This is just what the Antrim Road needed! I went for the Caesar Salad - it was perfection. The salad was fresh and it was served with crunchy croutons, bacon and huge chunks of chicken, even the small amount of cheese wasn't too strong! FOOD = GREAT.
  
  The decor of Sylvester's is also great, it's bright and airy with plenty of natural light coming in. The walls are adorned with art and there's exposed brick work to give that rustic feel. There's also a row of outside seating, perfect for when the sun has it's hat on.
  
  So here's what I really didn't like....
  
  When my food came I wasn't given any cutlery, I kind of thought that it was one of those places that you helped yourself so I got up and started searching for some, but couldn't find any. I eventually grabbed a member of staff and got sorted out.
  
  I sat at the back of the restaurant and I could clearly hear the chefs shouting and swearing. I didn't mind too much but there were a few kids within earshot. I know chefs like to have a bit of banter etc in the kitchen but I suggest getting a thicker door in between the seating area and the kitchen.
  
  The coffee was ok, I got an americanno and it was quite bland. No real kick. Only £2 though so that wasn't  too bad.
  
  Overall I'd say this place has a bright future, conveniently located for me. Really well staffed too so once they iron out the teething problems I'll give it another go!

  This place is my new favourite breakfast spot.
  Brilliant addition to the Antrim road...convienently located for a post Waterworks 5km feed.
  Food was amazing...free wifi always a bonus.
  Only negative, im not a fan of those Suki tea leaf teapots...cant get a strong enough cup of tea.
