Charming cafes in Oldham

“Got a Big P's breakfast and a hot chocolate and it didn't disappoint, a proper good breaky it filled me right up. Also got a hot chocolate which was nice. Recommend both of them”

“Just a quick stop for us but the cakes were delicious and huge, and the pot of tea was also lovely. Staff were extremely friendly and got out a highchair for our baby.”

“I ordered on just eat and I made comments of things I didn’t want in my breakfast and as expected I were listened to. The food was absolutely amazing. Me and my other half come in here sometimes and I can say we are never disappointed. The lady and gentleman who own this place are very accommodating and so kind. As a pregnant woman nice tasty food is always great so if you want the best then head here because it’s absolutely delicious! Thanks again ❤️”

“Found ourselves stuck outside the shop on a Sunday with a bust tire in 28c heat, this amazing lady opened up the shop just so we could get some cold drinks whilst we waited for recovery such a nice gesture goes a long way. Will definitely return to try the food! 10/10 customer service!”

“Great selection of sandwiches snacks and cakes. Lovely service everytime. Brilliant take out service also!”

“Excellent food from an extensive menu, at a reasonable price. A warm , friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Clean, bright & cosy establishment. Best egg & bacon hotties in Oldham.”

“Friendly, quick service with a smile. Good cup of coffee. Had the coffee sat outside overlooking the lake. Very relaxing. Well worth checking out the café and park.”

“Zena Bees Cafe is amazing food here is delicious. I had the big breakfast muffin omg it was tasty and filling. Well worth the money and visit here. The cafe is clean and service is outstanding.”

“My mum and I visited the farm shop and cafe and had afternoon tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. They provided great veggie options and it was overall delicious. You could add on a glass of Prosecco or a larger for an additional cost also. The crockery was lovely and the staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend !”

“I came here today with my dog & it was like stepping back in time to my grandmas kitchen on a Saturday morning in the nicest way . The staff was so welcoming and warm especially with me having the dog . The atmosphere was just so wholesome it really felt like I was just in my grans kitchen . The decor is very very clean & the food was absolutely the best breakfast I’ve had . But hers sausage and bacon perfect orange yoky eggs with load of yoke , thick cut toast . Everything about it was beautiful so it looks like il be driving 40 mins for a breakfast every week . I also went alone with the dog which I’ve never ate alone before and not once did I felt uncomfortable.”

“Small but packs a punch. Only a small cafe but the welcoming was lovely, service was very attentive. We went for breakfast, the menu had a great choice of healthy and the usuals. We had a bit of both. Freshest ingredients used and looks like locally sourced, where that could be achieved. The food was hot, tasty, and well priced. The atmosphere seems busy with all the plants but I get that the view outside isn't the greatest. Could look smart with different table surfaces/covers. Don't let the location put you off as this is a little gem for food and service.”

“We booked the Daisyfield for a Confirmation party. They offered a cold buffet and a choice of hot pies. We choose a mixture of both and were very impressed with the high quality, portion sizes and value for money. The children had an absolute ball playing in garden to the rear. There were chickens and rabbits for them to see plus some play equipment. As it was Easter Sunday there was also a DJ and Easter egg hunt. All in all we were made to feel very welcome and great atmosphere. Good time was had by all. Thank you.”

“So buzzin' that Kev has took this pub on, our local. Lovely after a visit to the park with Frankie. Looking forward to work way thru the menu. All the best to you Kev, Mum Cat, sand Chef Sis. A real family affair. Cant wait for the real launch of pub on May 25th and the Bucking Bronco rodeo horse ..gonna be mega. Thanks for makong us welcome bud. Tim, Emma and Frankie xo”

“Lovely owners very good at what they do best breakfast in M40 love it”

“Once Leo's fish bar but no longer the case I really like the kebab- the texture and taste. The owner is so friendly and his moustache so fluffy We almost didn't stop, what a catastrophe Since we did tho we got well fed Even though we didn't ask got extra meat and bread I'd come again you know that's for sure Turns out it wasn't the fish I came in for Yum yum yum not one to miss”

“I love this place! Emma's a wonderful talent and her flowers are simply beautiful. The little coffee shop is also amazing. You always get a warm welcome and a place to sit, enjoy a friendly chat and put the world to rights over fantastic coffee and delicious cakes. It's definitely one of my favourite places for sure.”

“The most perfect little Disney themed cafe you will find. The staff are lovely the place looks great and the prices are amazing. They have a huge amount of coffee flavours and lots of delicious food. Its definitely worth popping in and having a bash.”

“Great pies, lovely cup of coffee, lots and lots of choice for booze. The lady was also very lovely and welcoming. Will be back.”

“Lovely food, great atmosphere and it's doggy friendly which is perfect, the only thing we dint see was a car park, but we just parked up at Tesco and walked up like not even 5 minutes, so wasn't a big issue, definitely going their again when we come back to visit :)”

“First trip to Oldham town centre for almost 50 years! Oldham road once had pubs on almost every corner as you headed there from Manchester City Centre, many from the long gone Oldham brewery. Madge fancied a trip on the Metro and we spotted this pub in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Well worth the trip for just this corner pub. A bank of ten real ales. Great vibe plus a front pavement seating area. Madge found a new Oldham brewery..We are Wolf. Bar snacks incl sausage rolls. Great visit.”

“Excellent friendly welcome, the owner took our order. We had to wait for our starters which meant they were freshly prepared (the restaurant was quiet with it being during the week), some restaurants just warm up the starters but not here! We really enjoyed our starters. The main courses arrived & were excellent! Also desserts were good and we ate everything. My wife enjoyed her wine and I had an excellent ice cold pint of water!(I was driving). Top marks for everything here. They are very child friendly too. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the owner was too! We will be back!”

“Really nice lil cafe, friendly staff, the coffee here is amaaaaazingly good a must try also the food looks top drawer!!! Chris and his partner the owners really nice down to earth people, if your in Uppermill pls go find this lovely lil hidden cafe entrance is on the front and go downstairs really well appointed estab sit on the river and forget about the daily grind also some under canope seating if the weather's not the best.”

“We had a tasty croque-monsieur and tai sweet potato soup. Even the side salad dressing trasted great. Perfect for our bike ride pit stop break. Great coffe as well. Cosy atmosphere and welcoming service.”

“Beautiful. Located in the quaint town of Uppermill, this chic cafe bar is a faithful spinoff of one of Uppermill’s best cafes, Caffe Grande Abaco. This cafe bar has a nice rustic and authentic atmosphere, like a traditional cafe bar you may find in Italy. Also, the staff are really friendly (10/10), especially Nigel (the owner), who was great to me. Plus, I went to Caffe Grande Abaco for 10 years, and it was quite emotional to meet Nigel, as I was always asking the staff at Caffe Grande Abaco, “Is the owner in?”. Now, back to Veloce! The cafe offers a variety of drinks, handpicked from CGA (at this point, I’m going to shorten it - Caffe Grande Abaco). So, you can have a nice latte or a cosy hot chocolate while you chill and warm up here. Surprisingly, it is also a deli, since they have charcuterie meats and cheeses, condiments, authentic Mediterranean pastries and biscuits, and even freshly baked bread (so authentic!). I tried Rogers Pistachio Cruffin (mix between a croissant and a muffin) which was crispy and flaky on the outside, but fluffy and indulgent on the inside, and the silky pistachio cream made it even better. Perfect for breakfast! They also do sandwiches here, with fresh sourdough and scrumptious meats and cheeses and even flaky sausage rolls. What I really want to mention, however, is the fact that they are supporting local businesses. Most things here (the pastries, products and even honey) are made by small businesses in towns near Uppermill, which is really nice as Veloce is helping out those businesses. Overall, this place is a must if you are looking for a proper Italian cafe bar, and some delicious food. It is also perfect if you want to buy some charcuterie meats and cheeses, as they have a wide variety of them. Only complaint is, Veloce really needs to bring in some Arancini, as I don’t see much Arancini in Saddleworth, and I’m very sad about that. If you want more reviews like this, make sure to follow The Wandering Chicken, so you don’t miss out on the best places to eat in Manchester, and even the world!”

“Really nice cafe and great food and really nice kind and friendly staff”

“Nice little rea room we just had drinks no food”

“Fantastic family atmosphere as always. Sunday lunch is undoubtedly the best around. Summer time you have the beer garden with play area for the children and fabulous views. Winter time you have the cosy log fire and exceptional red wine.”

“Steak Canadians are lovely. Nelson and his family are very friendly. Been going there for years and I always dance to the music on there radio.”

“Not many pubs like this anymore. Proper homely vibe and staff are always lovely. Always something on the weekends as well supporting local singers.”
