A Belfast cafe is giving away free coffee all day on Friday as part of a special celebration.
Café Melrose, on the Lisburn Road, will be providing brews to customers free-of-charge on Friday, March 13, to celebrate their new coffee product.
The initiative will take place from 8.30am to 4pm and is in celebration of the premises’ new partnership with Newcastle coffee roaster Groupwork.
Owner Gabriel McCoy, 30, who took over the business two years ago said: “There has been a café here for about a decade, we have made significant investment into the site. We are super excited to elevate our coffee offering to be in line with everything else we are doing here.

“We went to five different roasters but the husband and wife team there, Stephen and Hannah at Groupwork made it a no brainer. We decided to swap our coffee to Groupwork who are a company based in Newcastle. They ran through the whole process with us, and the fact that I am originally from Hilltown in Co Down means together we can bring the county’s hospitality to Belfast.
“To celebrate that partnership we are offering free coffee all day tomorrow from 8.30am to 4pm. People are fine to pop in for a free brew, you don’t need to sign up or anything, just come along.
“We specialise in top tier service, we are very reasonably priced for a BT9 café but Friday will give customers a chance to try our new coffee offering completely for free. For the last week we have had the coffee available and the feedback has been really positive. People are buying the coffee and taking it home with them, so that is a massive tick of approval. Lately, we have been going around all our local streets and handing out flyers.”
Gabriel said there was a wide array of food and drink available at the café.
He added: “We have our own delicatessen which provides a selection of sandwiches and wraps, it is a massive deli that caters to all dietary requirements. We have an extensive brunch menu and we also have the capability to do outside catering.”
