The 30 Best Co working cafes in Manchester

“I absolutely love this restaurant! I can’t find this kind of flavor anywhere else. My boyfriend and I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The food is super DELICIOUS with truly AUTHENTIC Thai flavours. Prices are really affordable, and the staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend checking out HOT THAI—you’ll love it!”

“Fabulous gym. I started 6 years ago when my son was in a ninjas class to fill the time, I go 3-4 times a week now and it’s been amazing for my fitness and energy. I’ll be going for black belt at my next grading! It’s totally inclusive, everyone is encouraged to reach their best regardless of age, fitness level etc. Lots of different classes to choose from in timetable and great facilities. Top class coaches who invest in all students. My daughter goes now as well and she loves it. Welcoming, respectful culture. Very lucky to have this place round the corner. I’d recommend it to anyone.”

“Such a cute place to stop for a rest and get a great iced latte! The cake is pre prepared, I’ve had a few different ones and some have been fresh and great, the others have been a little on the stale side, but still enjoyable. The bacon rolls are yummy!”

“A very cozy cafe in Whitefield. We ordered the Turkish Full Breakfast, very tasty and generous portion. The seeded simit with honey and butter really impressed me. Highly recommended.”

“The best shisha ❤️ Very good service ❤️ I really recommend it ❤️”

“Great little coffee shop with a nice food menu. Coffee is the best in Knutsford. We caused them some trouble when we dropped a drink on the floor the staff were happy to help. Then my partner left her wallet on the counter and the barista ran half way across Knutsford to find us and give it back. 5 star service all round.”

“Love cafe vibes, we love coming here when we feel too lazy to go into town for food. They have English breakfast and Asian food which is perfect because both are our comfort food.”

“As a family tradition we go out for breakfast on the morning of a holiday. We tried this cafe as the reviews were very positive and my wife had heard about it through a work colleague. The staff were very welcoming. There were a few regulars in who made the place seem very community focussed, more friends than customers. The food was really good freshly prepped after we ordered. When I mentioned where we going on holiday the lady who served us explained she was from that same area originally and advised us of things to look out for. Can't fault it. We will visit again definitely.”

“This is the first time we have been to the cafe but it wont be the last. The food was good quality and well presented. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and welcoming.”

“Very great cafe. The barista Vicky was so kind! Loved the experience.”

“A fabulous breakfast place eat in or takeaway. They are always busy but the staff are super efficient. My favourite is sausage on toast! Have also indulges in the full English and that's fab, couldn't work after eating it though!!!!!”

“A great little café situated between Vernon and Woodbank parks. The staff are very friendly. Dogs and their owners are welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free water for four-legged animals. Parking nearby.”

“It was quite quiet when we visited. So lots of room. Set up what you would expect from a workers cafe.”

“Nothing but positive experiences with Bean Machines over the last few years. I manage two coffee shops on opposite ends of London and bean machines have always been fast, efficient and well priced. We had one of our coffee machines recently serviced by Luke, who was great, providing a thorough service along with a replacement pump which id been meaning to do for a while. Very friendly with great customer service! Highly recommend.”

“Cute little café, nice staff, very friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. Loved the Irish Coffee they made me on request ❤️”

“First time at this cafe. I ordered a black coffee, a coke and Traditional Eggs Benedict. The cafe was busy which shows how popular it is. The food was amazing. The eggs were cooked to perfection and were nice and runny. The bacon was also perfect. Not salty at all like some bacon. I’m always weary about ordering eggs Benedict as sometimes it’s not cooked properly and the sauce is tasteless, but not here. I actually wanted to lick the plate to get all the sauce. I will definitely be back xx”

“Best shisha lounge in curry mile. No annoying hordes of people, great chilled out atmosphere and the shisha is spot on!”

“I don't live in the UK for ten years but here on the news pubs closing in the UK but was in Manchester found this great boozer from friendly staff to great food excellent selection of ciders but best of all the bloody Mary superb so give it a try next time in the UK I'll pop in”

“This spot is a real find, offering fantastic value with a tasty range of dishes that really hit the mark. The portions are bigger than you’d expect, and the chicken is especially juicy and packed with flavour. It’s one of those meals that leaves you feeling satisfied without overdoing it. The vibe here is laid-back, making it a great place to relax over lunch. There’s also a good selection of games to keep things fun while you eat. With its reasonable prices, delicious food, and chilled atmosphere, it’s a go-to spot for a tasty, laid-back meal.”

“Have been eating here and getting takeaways for about 5 years. Always quick, always friendly helpful staff. Cooked freshly and some of the most delicious curries in Manchester or anywhere else. Consistently great. 5-Stars! *****”

“What a fantastic venue with welcoming and friendly staff. As soon as you walk in it feels like your own local as it’s so welcoming which is rare in a city. Music on Saturday afternoon was really fantastic - I'll defo be back here next time I’m in Manchester”

“I visited The Oxnoble on a Sunday with a friend who had been before for their Sunday roast. She mentioned the concept had changed a bit, but regardless, the Sunday roast was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Sean, was super friendly and made the experience even better (he recommended the cauliflower chees and OMG soo good). I would definitely recommend The Oxnoble to anyone visiting Manchester for the weekend!”

“Really good coffee and fantastic pastries & treats. They also sell some cool artisanal stuff like jams and crisps. Atmosphere is always quiet and relaxed.”

“Amazing coffee with fresh, delicious food and drinks! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff are always welcoming, friendly, and full of good vibes”

“Really good coffee.Love their caramel macchiato”

“Really good food, it's "Americana diner" themed so expect big burgers and big fries. Their fries are absolutely gorgeous by the way, not too salty and came out red hot. Portions were also solid, not too much or too small. The pricing was also good, managed to pay for 4 people (including 2 starters and drinks) under £100. I marked service down a little because they forgot one of my guest's meals so they had to wait while everyone else was already tucking in. It was also quite dark inside, lots of tables in darkness so it was difficult to read the menu.”

“Visited there after Manchester marathon. İt was nice to have a cup of hot beverage after a long day.”

“Really recommend Johnson Reed for financing options. Phil was incredibly helpful and informative from the get-go, taking the time to answer any questions I had an explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. His communication has been spot on throughout the process and I haven’t ever had to chase anything or go a long period of time without any updates. Thank you!”

“What a fantastic little roastery. I picked up a flat white and a bag of beans from them at Bolton food festival and I honestly can't stop ordering their coffee since. They've got a great range of coffee in their online shop that have become a staple at home, and are great for a wide range of brewing methods. I can't wait to try their cafe next! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a local roastery in Manchester, especially love their atomic fable.”
