Beverage options in Manchester

“Not sure where the people giving bad reviews were but this lovely place is a little hidden gem. Been several times and brought other family and friends. Lovely friendly staff, food is tasty and plentiful (and yes we have tried several different things from the menu). Super fast service and our drinks have always been served just before the food. Perfect :) The garden seating is really tranquil and relaxing. We recommend this to anyone, you won't be disappointed!”

“Abdulwasie Ahmad Marsa Café A Taste of Joy! Spectacular flavours, top-notch service, and an atmosphere that feels like a dream. It is easy to see mouthwatering dishes and the most joyful, amazing coffee you’ll ever taste. Every sip, every bite—pure happiness!”

“Best breakfast in south Manchester! Very cool cafe spot.”

“Had an amazing Xmas lunch today at the lounge cafe thank you to all the ladies for great food and service at amazing price.”

“Absolutely lovely. A real find tucked away in the centre of Shoreheath. Lovely staff and great food. Perfect. x”

“Lovely selection of breakfasts One thing that could be better is they should do the eggs benedict with sourdough bread toasted. The normal bread gets too soggy. Next time I'll ask to swap them. Thanks :)”

“I had a lovely lunch here yesterday, good offer of all the standard all day breakfast stuff as well as healthier options like salads, baked potatoes and lunch specials. Good value for money, much more reasonably priced than other eateries in Hale. Give it a try”

“The owner David puts on various speciality nights , tonight was a Thai night and all the food was prepared and cooked by his partner Sai .. It was awesome, she is an amazing cook, the food was outstanding and made me feel like i was actually back in Thailand .. at £30 per head probably the best Thai meal i have ever had in the UK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lovely little café with a proper cosy feel. Great coffee, simple honest food, and genuinely friendly service.”

“Taka was very lovely and enthusiastic. Cheerful attitude definitely put a smile on my face even through the frustration of all the trains have been cancelled. Thank you for being kind”

“To be honest, this guy makes freaking good pizza. Romana was simply delicious. Thin and crispy dough and lots of toppings. The only downside is that pizzas can only be ordered between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. But on the other hand, the price of the pizza is very low considering its high quality.”

“Every time I come I'm met with a hello from the staff and seated as quickly as possible. It's not a huge place, so as expected from somewhere in demand due to the quality, you have to wait sometimes for a table. Always worth the wait though!! If it's super busy, so the fire exit isn't blocked, you may have to wait outside for health and safety reasons, no biggie but come prepared if the weather is questionable. Great coffee from a local roastery in Bolton and a great menu that isn't overbearing. The chorizo hash is a must have, I get this every time! If you can finish the pancakes... fair play to you! They're awesome but HUGE! Get a doggy bag! Bring all my friends and family here when they visit and they always love it. A great spot with quality that you'd expect to find in the city and coffee to rival the best independent coffee shops.”

“Amazing venue! The only place I found that do literally everything for you all within a very reasonable price! Booked in April for a surprise baby shower yesterday and it was perfect! The room was all decorated perfectly with the cutest little touches, Nat did the buffet for us which was lovely and fresh with a good variety of food! Bar was stocked with lots of different drinks & the bouncy castle was the best thing to keep the kids entertained and safe! Herself & dale literally couldn’t have done anymore for us! 10/10 experience & will definitely recommend! Thank you so much xxx”

“Thank you to Neil and Tim for allowing my mothers birthday party to be held in the hall. The party could not have gone any better and Tim was on hand to help out with anything. I moved away from Withington many years ago but such a shame that we did not have a venue like this whilst I was there. Nothing was too much for Tim to do for us at the party. Thank you again for everything. My mum had such a fantastic time and could only compliment the staff for everything that they did. Absolutely 5 star review!!!”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“After Halfords asked nearly £700 for disc and break pad replacement I looked elsewhere and I’m so glad I found these guys! Lovely guys working here! I felt at ease trusting my car to them even if they took a little longer to return my car than promised I did not mind it and left happy with their work and service provided.”

“**"Exceptional Experience at the Barbershop!"** I recently visited the barbershop and had the pleasure of having my haircut done by Amir. From the moment I sat in the chair, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. Amir's attention to detail and creative vision resulted in one of the best haircuts I've ever had! He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and skillfully transformed my hair with a stylish, modern look that exceeded my expectations. The precision of his technique and the unique design he created are true testaments to his passion and expertise in his craft. I left the barbershop feeling more confident and refreshed, all thanks to Amir's incredible work. If you're looking for a barber who combines talent, creativity, and a genuine commitment to his clients, Amir is your go-to guy. Highly recommended!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Viet Guy, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—packed with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a burst of flavor, and you could really tell the care and attention that went into preparing each one. The service was equally impressive. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. They really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. If you’re looking for amazing Vietnamese cuisine paired with top-notch service, Viet Guy is the place to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough! That should highlight both the food and service in a positive, enthusiastic way!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lana Thai Food in Oldham and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. This cozy little restaurant offers a fantastic selection of traditional Thai dishes that are sure to satisfy any food lover's cravings. The standout feature of Lana Thai Food is undoubtedly the amazing flavors that are packed into each and every dish. The food is bursting with authentic Thai flavors, and every bite is an explosion of taste. I particularly enjoyed the garlic chicken with rice, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and succulent, and the garlic added a wonderful aromatic touch to the dish. It's definitely a must-try! One of the things that impressed me the most about Lana Thai Food is the excellent value for money. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the generous portions that are served. You definitely won't leave this place feeling hungry! Whether you're dining alone or with a group, you can be assured that you'll get your money's worth and more. Another highlight of my visit was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the lady who owns the restaurant. She greeted me with a genuine smile and her friendly nature made me feel right at home. Not only is she welcoming, but she's also incredibly funny, adding a touch of humor to the dining experience. Her passion for Thai cuisine is evident, and she's more than happy to recommend dishes and answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lana Thai Food in Oldham. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. The owner's friendly and humorous nature adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic meal, Lana Thai Food is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
