Central location cafe in Manchester

“Popped in today for the first time. Lovely staff and warm atmosphere. People sitting reading their papers, having a chat and having some food. I grabbed a sausage and egg butty and it hit the spot. I'll certainly be back!”

“Love this cafe. As a veggie the soup of the day was chicken but the owner James set to and made me the most delicious mushroom and sweetcorn soup ever . The prices cant be beaten in this place (large full English £4.95) and the menu extensive with a mix of English and Carribean all sounds delicious. James looks so calm under pressure as he was alone cooking and serving when we called in but everyone served in no time..my favourite place to eat when in Bolton.”

“Had the full English breakfast as did hubbie - quality ingredients, non greasy, cooked to perfection. Daughter had steak baguette and sil salmon with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious, served hot and well presented. Service good and considering the quality / portion sizes good value.”

“Thank you, Renata, for inviting us to this Christmas princess party to sing and play with all the kids. Thank you for trusting us and supporting our team in developing a playgroup. It was a really good experience. The place is like a dream come true. When you enter, you will think you have entered a castle. We never thought we would have this opportunity to work with such a wonderful playroom. Their food is amazing, and they put in full effort to make all the guests feel welcome and comfortable. We highly recommend working with them and visiting this lovely place.”

“Absolutely amazing! So close to the train station which obviously is so nice We stayed in room 6. The room was lovely and clean, excellent variety in tea tray (oat milk option as well!) and still very spacious, especially for a budget option! Couldn’t have been more happy! Manager who gave us the keys was so friendly and nice. All in all amazing stay! Lovely to have the shower in the room as well (came with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which was all very good quality and smelt vvv nice) Couldn’t have asked for better! Even came with ear plugs but we had no issues with any noise :) thank you so much!”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“Quiet and aesthetic study spot, perfect for focusing on uni work”

“I literally forgot to put a review a month ago right after I came back from the opera house, I only had one drink there since I can’t have too many due to my medication. The staff were friendly, I talked to one of them and told them that the bar is really cozy and cool. Might go back there one day…☺️”

“Amazing food and the best customer service I’ve had from a family owned cafe and Jill was very friendly and helpful”

“I stay over regularly due to work and always have a brilliant experience, Chloe and Talon always make me feel welcome and always do their best to accommodate anything I need, always smiling and always pay attention to detail. The rooms are lovely, by far the best premier inn I’ve stayed in. The hotel makes working away enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

“I recently visited the cafe place and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The interior is beautifully designed, with a perfect balance of modern and rustic touches. The staff really knows their stuff when it comes to food – you can tell they take pride in what they do. I also loved the music and the general vibe of the place – perfect for a relaxing break or catching up with friends. Highly recommend if you're looking for great coffee and a welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be back soon!”

“couldn’t fault the hotel at all ! from friendly and professional staff throughout our stay to clean and comfortable rooms ! we will il be returning to stay again very soon”

“Amazing place! The staff are lovely! Love how environmentally friendly the cafe is with no plastic water bottles and a free water fountain instead. Compostable cups. Great atmosphere, full of avid friends fans. Lovely food, cakes are phenomenal and it was a great experience. Will be back again!”

“Fabulous cafe and hosts. Tracey & Sharon ran our 2nd International Community Kitchen programme today. Wonderful demonstrations of vegan burger & veggie bean burger. We even had hands on and made some ourselves... then the BEST bit..we ate them..yummmmmy. Thank you Rainbow Community Café.we had a great time a great time a”

“Went for Saturday breakfast, the value for money is incredible. 3 breakfasts including unlimited coffee only a tad over £18. However eggs Benedict were cold on arrival. But my traditional breakfast was spot on as was the freedom Breakfast. Was a hot day and I am assuming the air con broke down because my god it was warm in there. But the Erdinger was nice and cold. Some other interesting canned craft beers were consumed. I think the glass washer needs a service. And much amusement had watching the police attempt to apprehend a man with one foot in a cast. Ordering on the app is supposed to alleviate pressure on the bar and make it convenient and speedy for us as a customer,however one round took 10 minutes to arrive. Minor gripe. I love Spoons. We wiled away a few hours and will definitely be back.”

“Amazing place if you have toddlers! Great staff, friendly environment and well thought out appropriate menu”

“Great place to eat and drink. Lots of choice”

“Great communication, great location, great apartments perfect for 2 people or a couple who want to experience the city of Manchester. Comes with safe parking and ease of access too! Oli”

“Great food, excellent service only complaint prices need updating in shop”

“Nice cafe with usual Tesco menu. Food excellently cooked and presented, and even the beans were hot (which in my experience of most cafes is unusual). Cheerful and efficient staff and good atmosphere. What was really good was that you ordered at the counter rather at the impersonal machines which is becoming the norm (and is the reason we tend to avoid several other Tesco Cafes).”

“By far the best cafe I’ve stepped foot in, just mentioned to the lady behind counter that I was hungover and she only came over and asked did I want a paracetamol, if that’s not great service I don’t know what is? Breakfast spot on and great value for money, atmosphere great, 10 out of 10 from me! X”

“An absolute drinkers paradise with friendly, efficient service. It’s only Monday and we have 11 of the 12 cask ales pouring plus additional craft keg lines. A truly fantastic pub to visit and lament that there’s not more like it.”

“Amazing customer service great food was served piping hot and was delicious will definately order again !”

“Food and Thorn Bistro, led by Nicky and her wonderful team, catered our end-of-year team lunch and delivered directly to our offices in Piccadilly, Manchester. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the food was fantastic, beautifully presented, incredibly flavourful, and clearly prepared with great care. Every dish not only tasted amazing but looked spectacular, taking our event to the next level and making it a truly special occasion. Nicky was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism, warm communication, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. The delivery and service were exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We will definitely be choosing the Food and Thorn team again in the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event big or small!”

“Love this place. Proper full English breakfasts, afternoon teas. When you’re finished, take home fabulous cakes, buns and pastries. We’ve been many times. Great place. Went for ABBA night last night, had a great time. Loved it.”

“This place is lovely , my friend and I meet up about once a month and this is becoming our go to for a morning coffee and small bite to eat. It's clean and tidy and plenty of space to get between tables. The staff are all very pleasant and don't leave you hanging about for drinks and soon after comes the food. The poached eggs on toast was done to perfection and the iced coffee was lovely , my friend enjoyed her cheese crumpets too. Lovely place to go for a chat and catch up .”

“Excellent food and really friendly staff.”

“Staff here are so lovely! Been to other Coffee House establishments, Partington is by far the best of the bunch. Food is always thoroughly cooked, and piping hot (had a bad experience in another CH). Fast service, with a smile, and the best coffee around!”
