The 20 Best Coffeeshop experience in Manchester

“Had a impromptu lunch date at this cafe and it was wonderful! the atmosphere was relaxing and very welcoming. The staff are warm and helpful ,we had to a make dietary request and they accommodated it and it wasn't any bother. cafe is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they have different types of chairs which was a life saver for my back! Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”

“Lovely place! Prices are excellent, the portions are very generous and the flavor and presentation doesn’t disappoint. The woman and the boy that served were friendly! It was a bit packed and it’s a bit small but we didn’t wait more than 20 minutes once we order.”

“What a fabulous place! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We visited last Saturday for breakfast. It was super cold, but we cosied up in a little hut with a wood burner, cushions and blankets and a stunning view (dress warmly). The drinks were divine and food delicious. Great value too, £50 for four of us. Perfect!”

“I popped into Coffee Block for a quick brew and a teacake, and it absolutely made my morning. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and cheerful — she greeted every person who walked in with a big smile and genuine warmth. It was lovely to see how she chatted with the regulars, taking the time to ask about their day. The atmosphere felt so positive and welcoming, and the coffee was spot on. A lovely place all round, and I’ll definitely be returning soon!”

“I had a fantastic experience during my first visit to this place. I absolutely fell in love with it! The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, and their warm and welcoming attitude greatly enhanced my overall experience. Additionally, the coffee I had was absolutely delightful, and the pain aux raisins was a true delight. I can't wait to return!”

“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!”

“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!”

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton. Everyone I work with recommends this cafe for the welcoming service and homely feel. & I can tell why. You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“Been to this place since I was a kid. It’s still going strong. Best cornflake cake ever”

“Visited with my toddler for a weekend morning breakfast. The service was amazing. All the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the cafe was lovely. The place was very clean and staff were very quick to clear up tables. The price was really reasonable and portions very big. I ordered a vegetarian breakfast and children's chicken Meal. They were both very tasty and arrived at our table within 5 minutes of ordering! Really can't fault this place and will be returning”

“Got a hot chocolate here and it was really really nice! The staff were really friendly and the service was quick. I got my drink to takeaway but the cafe is really well designed, lots of seating and has a chill vibe.”

“What we really like about going to this Costa is that most times we are there there it's not too busy. Tables are spaced out well so that they don't tend to feel claustrophobic. The music is not too heavy, so we are able to enjoy both it and conversation. Not always a great selection of foodstuffs. And, although you can use your Costa card to add points, you can't redeem them at this location (bit of a pain). Still, it has also thought about families with very young children in providing a few things to do. On the whole, it's not a bad place to visit if you don't mind paying the Costa prices!”

“I've been to Oldham many, many times, and I've only just noticed they had a rollers. The Pecan cinnamon roll is soooo good. Seems like a nice place to eat in, and the service I received was very good.”

“Great place to 'chill' with friends with the added bonus of rewards of 'beans' for each drink, various offers, and free WiFi.”

“I’m impressed by the Hazelnut Praline cookie — just the right balance of nuts and chocolate, with the perfect level of sweetness. ☺️ (If I were being a little fussy — I’d love just a bit more of those crispy sugar crumbs!) Great coffee too. Would love to come back! :)”

“Went in for a coffee which was very nice also had a bit of cake which was good the shop was quite and plenty of seats to sit down”

“This Costa is usually and understandably busy but I was very happy to get a table today. I had a lovely cappuccino and a cake. It is a very nice Costa to take a break in and watch the shoppers walk by. The staff were very friendly, they cleared and cleaned my table for me. The cappuccino was delicious and I had a very enjoyable experience. Thanks to all the staff at Costa. Thanks for reading”

“Great coffee and atmosphere! Stopped by Starbucks today and had such a pleasant experience. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and my drink was made perfectly — exactly how I like it. The place was clean, cozy, and had a nice vibe to relax or get some work done. Loved the aroma of fresh coffee and the calm background music. Definitely coming back for another cup soon!”

“Not A trip I live here, in north block and its pretty good. I have been impressed by Judd in the maintenance team. He has undertaken my last two fixes and he has been friendly and helpful and quick, doing a really good job in both cases.”

“Really good place - great smoke and the price is very good. A good place to sit and relax Coals are regularly changed and the drinks on offer are well made. There is a takeaway underneath but I'mnot sure if you can bring food up But well worth a try”

“Love this place! I would normally pick up a sandwich or a jacket potato to take out. On the odd occasion I get to eat in, the atmosphere is just brilliant! An absolute gem of a place in Stalybridge, feels like the heart of the town with super friendly, caring staff and the best, affordable homely food. Please can I have your mashed potato recipe? X”
