Coffee shops in Manchester

“Great little coffee shop. Nice selection of, home made, sandwiches and cake, to go with the excellent coffee. Definitely be returning there.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas breakfast at branch 14 this morning! The food, the atmosphere, the amount of effort put in by the amazing staff made the experience absolutely awesome for my 2 year-old granddaughter. Father Christmas went all out to make it a fabulous event for all the children who were there and it was a lovely touch when he came out to chat to each child individually especially for the little boy who was initially a little overawed by the meeting! Very special day, and the individual gift boxes are just the icing on the cake, to be honest I can't see how they can do all this for the price. Super good value!! I highly recommend this gorgeous little family run coffee shop!”

“This was a really charming and friendly tea shop where I stopped for a breakfast and a cuppa. It was good food, hot and the server was super friendly. Would recommend”

“They're one of the best cafes around. Staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. They'll get more customers if they offer more food types, like pastries and cakes.”

“The food is amazing, and the staff are awesome and welcoming. Very much my happy place!”

“Now we’re talking. La Collina was a treat - they have a short, simple home-made lunch menu. I had gnocchi with Bolognaise sauce. Perfect portion size. Coffee was delicious and forced myself to have a pistachio cannoli alongside it. Matt the chef is a focused on flavour and dishes with a twist - you can taste it. Nice space to work from too. Back soon. BACK AGAIN: La Collina is a hidden gem. The menu is developing from daytime only into an evening offering too. Matt, the creator and chef is passionate about the menu. New menu dropping in mid August. Go there.”

“I’ve heard so much about their famous matcha, and today I finally had the chance to try it. The staff recommended the freshly arrived Matcha 22, and it truly lived up to the hype – rich, authentic Japanese flavor and incredibly smooth. Absolutely delicious! Both staff members were super friendly and welcoming, especially the lady! Great drinks, great service – I’ll definitely be back!”

“Lovely little place tucked away with a varied choice of vegan options. The chocolate ginger energy balls were incredible! Really reasonable prices & very filling! 10/10”

“Our stay at Hyatt House Manchester was excellent. The front desk staff were very kind and extremely helpful. Both the dinner and breakfast restaurant staff were also lovely, and the food was very good. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around the city. We had booked connecting rooms and received exactly what we requested — the rooms were spacious, bright, and comfortable. A great choice for families and anyone visiting Manchester.”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“This place is five ⭐ stars!! Afternoon event for a Holy Communion! Food, atmosphere and staff all amazing. A sense that they all enjoy their work!! Very clean and probably the best breakfast food I’ve had in years! Perfection!! Value for money also was a 5/5!!!! My son who has autism enjoyed his food and ate it so that’s a big compliment!!! We will be back!!!”

“We have ordered breakfast for delivery from here a number of times now and I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve had in a long time, every single time we haven’t been disappointed. Food is piping hot when it arrives and is beautifully presented you can tell the staff take pride in their food and service. The little touches make such a difference and the staff write little messages on the boxes and receipts saying thank you, or enjoy etc. Will definitely be visiting in person at some point.”

“Wonderful coffee, comfortable and inviting surroundings and friendly staff. I could tell that many customers were regulars even though it was my first visit. Lots of board games, which I see from other reviews is a Thing here. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“Fantastic food and menu and a really lovely atmosphere, it’s always so welcoming and there is a real sense of community that Jonathan, Diane and the whole team foster. The service is brilliant, but beyond service there is a real effort to make it personal, with genuine warmth. Had an open flatbread today which was delicious, as is the specialty coffee.”

“Always finding what I need. Top quality products! Friendly staff and a “home away from home” feeling!”

“Staff are very friendly and kind One of the best shop”

“Best soup I’ve ever had!! Cosy tucked away hidden gem. I ordered the Tomato soup and Cajun chicken ciabatta. Portion sizes were big & value for money was amazing. The staff are very friendly & kind. Will 100% be coming again. The hot chocolate with marshmallows is soooo good.”

“Great spot for always having at least one gluten free beer on tap, usually a couple. I'm a big fan of when they've got locals like Brightside. Generally a good atmosphere whenever I come. Sometimes a lot busier than others, probably event related as it's very close to a number of live venues. That said, I can often find a seat in the second, quieter room pictured below. I would appreciate GF food options, but I understand this is exceptionally difficult considering they do pizzas. The music is almost never particularly loud, which means you can always converse. The only setback would be that some of the beers can be pricey, but this is absolutely to be expected given they are quality craft beers rather than mass products, and I say this is one of the few spots where it's worth it”

“Buzzing, cozy, lively, good smells and good food. Could do with some sound dampeners, but that’s being persnickety”

“It was a lovely bar and the food and coffee was great highly recommend it kind regards tony”

“FABULOUS! We were warmly greeted and served by the most sweet, chatty and efficient little lady - so good to see families involving their children and instilling values at this young age. The food was delicious, the portions healthy & delivered promptly - will definitely be going back!”

“Beautiful building, a real hidden gem! It was lovely and quiet around 9:30am on a Saturday. The queue was starting to build by 10am when I left. The brownie had a nice homemade taste, but it was a little dry. I find this is usually the case in cafes, but this was certainly one of the better ones. You can also choose to have it warmed and served with cream when you order. The mocha frappe was also good, but a frappe is different to an iced mocha, so expect it to be sweet!”

“Went tonight with a party of 6, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Unbelievable Italian drinks selection. Sat down inside when everyone arrived, the owner made room for my father in-law in his wheel chair. (Which isn't easy everywhere!) Food was amazing, everyone loved it, I had the lasagne which was Unbelievable. Honestly couldn't recommend any more. We can't wait to go back. Unbelievable value as well considering the quality. ***Wheel Chair friendly as-well***”

“This is an oasis of delightful experience, low-cost food, and excellent coffee. I was shocked to discover this thoughtfully arranged wayplace within the sterile halls of the interchange. Please visit and enjoy as I have done.”

“10/10 absolutely fantastic little cafe. Big breakfast was lovely, great size, thick cut spam, bloomer toast and all cooked spot on. Large breakfast, bacon egg spam on toast, spam egg on toast, plus 3 drinks £14”

“Dog friendly (variety of treats available) very reasonably priced cafe, couple of small indoor tables and a lot of outdoor seating. Wish it was open more during the week.”

“Lovely cafe. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Good service and good prices. Vegan and gluten free food good for everyone. Dog friendly.”

“I've tried flat whites from so many different cafés around , and the one i had here is by far my favorite! Smooth, perfectly balanced, and made with high quality coffee . Plus, the staff were super friendly and welcoming ✨”

“Great, cozy cafe for a winter morning coffee & pie. The Chai latte was nice & sweet and the keylime pie was amazing. Easily the best keylime pie I've ever had! Happily coming back soon!”

“My friends and I had a coffee and pastry there and their drinks and pastries were super delicious esp the pistachio croissant was so rich and yummy”
