Convenience store, deli, café and ice cream parlour rolled into one. Here at City Picnic we want to make life easier by providing a place where you can enjoy a freshly made lunch followed by a scrumptious dessert before picking up some US grocery essentials and paying your bills.

In addition to convenience, we offer Ireland's greatest range of US products. Our diverse menu includes salads, sandwiches and burritos that are available for sit in or take away.

Our coffee is brewed from freshly ground Arabica beans and tastes great accompanied by the pastries and muffins we bake in store.  Locally made gelato ice cream and sorbets are also on offer; available in 14 different flavours that can also be made into refreshing milkshakes and crushies. 

Ultimately, we want to offer shoppers top quality, great value products delivered with a high standard of customer care. Let us know how we’re doing!

Trying to create something a bit different in the heart of Belfast city centre is not an easy task but an amazing location certainly helps. McAuley House is a landmark listed building, built by architects Young and Mackenzie in 1895 as the iconic Anderson and McAuley department store.
The family owned business was a huge part of the Belfast shopping experience for nearly a century, providing a high standard of customer care within a family atmosphere. The building itself managed to survive the bombings that plagued the city centre during The Troubles, preserving rich detail such as the 29
engraved heads that run along its upper walls and the beautiful cornerstone clock.
While renovating the space, a decision was made to restore the ceilings to their original height, a process that uncovered
beautifully decorative pillar capitals (the topmost part of the columns). The pillars were
refurbished and now stand as a focal point of the store’s layout. Only the gold lettering around the building’s base signifies the building’s original occupants but here at City Picnic we hope to maintain the spirit of Anderson and McAuley by placing a premium on courtesy and value which the store praised as the secrets of its success.
