I love it here. Great coffee and great food and a really lovely place to work or catch up with friends. There are tables for people watching and bigger tables for groups. Would highly recommend!
The drinks were £6.5 each - blackforrest chocolate was great but then they ran out of oatnog so I had to settle for the irish liqueur cream which was not great, it’s like just drinking double cream and very high % alcohol separately even when mixed. The food took 40 mins to arrive. The goat cheese dip with the slightly undercooked carrots was way too strong (£6.5); and the chorizo cabbage was very mid also (£6.5). The fig french toast was not too bad (£12). You scan the qr code to get the menu but then need to go out at the narrow entrance and cashier space to order, very crowded and counter intuitive. For £36 and 40 mins wait I probably won’t come back again.
It was my favourite cafe in Manchester. Loved their loaded truffle mayo and mushroom hash bites and lovely flat white. Good internet connection and artsy vibes
Had a great time here! The food was great, I had the chorizo bruschetta and my dad had the eggs benedict which was really nice. We ordered a side of hash browns which were slightly burnt and really hard, they were gracious enough to Change it and gave us a third on the house! The rose matcha latte was really really nice! The flavour was perfect.
We stopped by Fig & Sparrow while exploring the Northern Quarter and found it to be a lovely little spot to take a break. The atmosphere is small, cozy, and inviting, with soft background music that makes it easy to relax. They offer a good selection of coffees, bottled drinks, and even some cocktails for those who prefer something stronger. It's not a large space, but that adds to its charm and makes it feel more personal. After walking around the area, it was the perfect place to rest our feet, enjoy a drink, and soak in the laid-back vibe of the neighborhood. A nice little find in Manchester's Northern Quarter.
Staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. As we walk in all the tables was occupied - we ask how long approximately they said 40min. We decided to give a try and waited less than 7min. After we sit two more tables left and continues flow of new costumers. They didn’t clean the table after they sit us so during order we ask someone to clean, lady wasn’t happy for request. If you’re having busy days at work and you don’t want to work - stay at home. Some other places struggle with new costumers. 4 staff behind the till, two of them with the phones, one making coffee and one taking orders. Only one lady I must say was a bit friendlier than others. Would we go back? Definitely, Lovely cozy place, Great food, coffee tasted great. But not for the service, management really need to look at this - how staff is unfriendly. Considering how busy place is great and will be such a shame costumers stop to come because of service.
Went in for a late breakfast with my other half. Asked for a small adjustment to the vegan breakfast which they were happy to do. All the staff were super pleasant and the place had a really chilled, warm vibe. To top it off the food was exceptional, and the coffee was also really good. Will definitely be back!
Came here in the early morning to work. The WiFi was fast and the coffee was good. This is a small spot and they don't want you to use your laptop in the front of the shop. In the back of the shop they have plenty of outlets and you can feel free to use them. I didn't get any food but they have a small assortment of pastries. Place is cute.
We ordered the blueberry pancakes and granola bowl. They were nice but were a bit overpriced considering the quantity of food. We also ordered two ice coffees, which came to £17.50. The food was nice but nothing out of ordinary for the prices.
