Espresso expert in Manchester

“Great service, fixed within a couple of hours and made a few helpful suggestions on grinder upgrades available. Will use again if I have any issues.”

“I had the pleasure of trying traditional Fredo espresso here, and it was incredible. Rich, strong, and perfectly brewed with — every sip felt authentic and comforting. The aroma alone was enough to wake me up, and the taste was smooth with just the right touch of bitterness. It’s the kind of coffee you want to take your time with and truly enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality and tradition in their coffee!”

“I’ve ordered cocktails from the drinks drop a few times now and it’s been ace every time. Great menu, really great drinks and they arrive as expected ready for the weekend.... I've already recommended to loads of mates who all loved it also, so can’t recommend highly enough. Brilliant!”

“Beautiful independent coffee shop. I ordered the Guest Espresso - Friedhats Ethiopian; the strength and flavour were phenomenal, it had a rich sweetness to it. It was really cool to watch their process too.”

“My new favorite breakfast spot! The staff here are absolutely amazing, so warm, welcoming, and kind. As someone who’s shy and Muslim, it means a lot to feel genuinely comfortable in a new place. They go out of their way to make sure I’m looked after, and they even adjust the food to fit my needs without me having to ask twice. It honestly feels like home. What touched me the most? They remembered my last order. That small gesture made me feel seen and appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Nice relaxing place to have a bit of breakfast/lunch, amazing coffee and lovely staff”

“Really tasty breakfast, cooked well and prepared very quickly. It’s a small cafe, so space is a bit limited. But then in a way that’s nice, nothing worse than a huge noisy place. Big car park at the back too, which is handy. Great cafe!”

“Me and my partner started coming here over 2 years ago, we had walked past seeing “cocktails, coffee and pizza” which my partner turned to say it’s a place made for me (I often have a cocktail, water and coffee when out). We have been on sunny days in their outside area and inside - both carry the amazing by atmosphere and impeccable music taste. The staff are friendly and maintain really good service, very relaxed and chilled vibes no matter what time of year. Families, friends and dogs are welcome too! The food - we have tried many of their options but have come to have a standard order of the pepperoni hot honey pizza and pumpkin base with ‘nduja and cheese pizza . These are amazing, the dough is unlike most other places, that the crust alone is something to look forward too. The pumpkin is a personal fave, again hard to find else where and even if you can it’s nowhere near as moreish! They also have amazing vegan and gluten free options - which I have tried the vegan, and again, amazing quality and taste. They do have dessert options- the baked cheesecake is also a must try, not normally a fan of them but I for sure have been won. Sad to see this little place go but well deserved and excited to see the new place just down the road! Hoping it goes well and will be back when it opens!”

“Had a wonderful double date brunch today. By accidentally ordered a wrong chai latte but a lovely worker called kate helped me with my drink and recommended the right chai for me. The food was wonderful too enjoyed it a lot”

“Called in for coffee and sandwiches. Very nice and fresh. Good value. Another visit. Great food. Really friendly staff and very polite.”

“Lovely food. Pleasant atmosphere. Good décor. Great staff. Whether it's a quick and tasty lunch, coffee & amazing cake, or ice cream treat, this is a brilliant choice.”

“I really like this cafe. Great breakfast and though recently increased in price, still excellent value for money. Egg, two sausages/bacon, hash brown, mushrooms, beans, tea/,coffee, toast or fried bread. Well cooked and nicely presented. Service is also quick and the ladies friendly. I have to go to Bury now and again and see the Coffee House as a real treat. Highly recommend.”

“Came in for a coffee and bag of coffee beans. Aidan is really friendly and his shop has a really cool vibe. The coffee is good and I can see myself hanging out here more often post-lockdown, or attending one of the events that Aidan is planning once things start to open back up. If you’re a local, go and grab a coffee and show some support!”

“Crispy chicken breast with soup udon. Iced bubble milk tea. Help yourself with different seasoning. Salt and pepper, seaweed and cheese powder and quite a few others. Would be even better if the breadcrumbs or flour not too thick. Worth trying. Milk tea and a few other drinks come at half price with food order at lunchtime. Very close to metro station or you can park and shop at Tesco Extra with three-hour free parking. Less than five minutes walk from Tesco.”

“Coffee was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. Great little place for working in the quiet or meeting with friends. Thoroughly recommend it. It’s INDEPENDENT so let’s support it!!!”

“I pre ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for 4 and it was perfect. Fresh food, homemade scones, we loved it. It made my mum's birthday really special (about a quarter of the food is in the picture. There was LOADS)”

“The service is very good. The coffee is very fragrant. I especially like his croissant. It’s delicious. Whether it’s pistachios or raspberries, the ingredients are solid.”

“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.”

“Amazing place! Such great food, staff and cocktails are to die for!! Especially the rum punch! Would highly recommend!!”

“Didn't sit in to eat but the sitting area was clean and nice, the food was brill will definitely be coming back again soon would recommend for anyone looking for some good food and a nice atmosphere to sit in and eat”

“Can't beat a costa hot chocolate now the weather's cooling down n winters on its way..”

“Popped in several times on my way to Ashton. Food always been to great standard. great little place to sit in when having car valeted outside. My little man loves the slushi drinks too. staff always been friendly”

“Cosy little place to eat and catch a coffee. Small but warm and welcoming. :) The coffee was bitter and plentiful. Not great for taste but great for caffeine (probably?) 1/5 for the coffee. The panini was okay. A slight crisp to it, which was nice but quite scarce on the tuna. 3/5 for the panini!”

“It's a really good coffee shop. The road to the Travel Center was very congested, so I just happened to get off the bus and find a coffee shop to take a rest. This Costco coffee shop is really a good choice to chat with friends for two hours, the traffic is no longer congested, and then start the trip. But, The food and drinks are acceptable, the attitude of the waiters is first-rate, the coffee shop is in a very good location, and there are shopping stores next to it. I will come back when I have time.”

“First of all, we like Cafe Nero because it's probably the only coffee chain in the UK that actually knows how to make real coffee. This is our go-to branch by choice because of the way it's ran and the customer service. The branch manager is a classy gentleman who knows a lot about coffee and is always very friendly. The staff there is clearly trained really well, too. Now, what we like about this branch is that they have everything! I can't remember one time that they were missing a syrup. Pistachio, honeycomb - it's all there, always there. Also, I love the fact that when you order a coffee they make sure to remind you that there is a single-origin option. It's easy to forget and it tastes SO MUCH BETTER!”

“Coffee can only taste as good as the person is making it ! Top temperature for you to enjoy ! Amazing coffee taste with a kick ! These guys work hard at festivals top customer service & treat every customer different to their needs ! I am always happy to buy my coffee while on a photo shoot & these guys are here !”

“Staff members- Moe, Dylan and Lucy. Are the most friendly staff in there. Making you enjoy your visit. They bring a lovely atmosphere to Costa Denon. Made delicious drinks. Thank you.”

“Went to the Bistro this morning for a breakfest and was told they don't exchange food items on a large breakfest, when I explained my partner has autism they couldn't do enough to accommodate her. Absolutely FANTASTIC service and its such a shame its closing down. Thank you to all the staff.”

“Great company Great service give it a try”
