The 30 Best Friendly café in Altrincham

“Really enjoyed visiting The Range here in Altrincham. There’s a huge variety of things for sale, spread across two floors, and there’s even a lift if you don’t want to or cant use the stairs. The lighting section is quite fun cuz the lights stay off until you walk past, then they all come on. Parking is really spacious, and there’s a McDonald’s and other shops nearby, which makes it convenient for a longer trip out. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Staff extremely friendly. Service is fast. Food and coffee is delicious! Thank you”

“Friendly and efficient service, a decent range of food and drink options, prices are a little steep though.”

“May be a small place but it is consistently excellent food and lovely guy. I bought recently to take away 2 whole small toffee/nut/choc maple syrup cheesecakes…..they were divine as described by the guest I served it to.”

“Katie did a fantastic job with our end-of-tenancy clean. The tenant had left the property in an absolutely horrendous state, but Katie quickly took care of everything. Her communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was incredibly friendly and professional. She arranged for rubbish and furniture to be removed and disposed of, followed by a deep clean—all at short notice. The transformation was incredible—the place was a million times better afterwards! I will be recommending Katie and Maids of Cheshire to all my friends and family.”

“Tried a jerk chicken wrap here for the first time today and it was superb! So flavourful and decent quantity. Really lovely staff.”

“Great food whether you want home baking, an Italian special or just a bacon sandwich. Thoroughly recommend the cappuccino with a double shot of espresso (think big flat white). Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly too. Can't recommend too highly.”

“What can I say! I’ve been coming daily to Kickback for my morning coffee for over three years. The coffee is excellent, that’s a given. It’s meeting Saskia, Harvey, Toby and Chris that makes me want to go daily. They make a great team - everyone is made to feel welcome and special. They work incredibly hard and are a credit to the wider Kickback team. If I could give 6 stars I would!”

“Great Brunch place! Had a brioche with avocado, scrambled egg and spicy mayo. Was very delicious and portions were big! Service was also very friendly.”

“Perfect little coffee stop for lunch & a quick caffeine hit! In the outskirts of the city for the day, I only had a short hour to find somewhere to eat & drink - Capuchin was the perfect little location! I initially walked past the door the first time, looking inside but being informed to go someplace else (close-by) which was supposedly the place to go... It was meant to be though because this location was being re-furbished & therefore, I came back here & was glad I did. The food was delicious & the coffee even better! I was served quickly with a friendly smile & the food didn't take too long to come out either. I can't remember how much it all came to but it wasn't a bad price & something totally expected for a good quality brunch & coffee. Would return & recommend a lot in what seems to be a competitive little corner (street). Well done guys!”

“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.”

“Robina and John are the most wonderful neighbours to have over the road from Hive Stores. They both work very hard to bring a lot more joy and creativity to the neighbourhood and are always willing to help where they can. The waiting room cafe has the best value full English around and the engine room is set to become a great creative hub. Whilst enjoying breakfast on our day off we conversed with familiar faces from the local neighbourhood who were enjoying crafts and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Robina and John for always helping, making us laugh and generally being authentic people. You've created a great space!”

“This place is amazing, from the gorgeous food, the eclectic decor and the lovely, attentive staff that help to make this an wonderful experience from the moment you enter until the time when you don't want to leave. A must if you're in Altrincham. Definitely a food and people place. Can't wait until we go again. They should sell a recipe book of some of these dishes, especially those great dishes they don't do anymore.”

“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.”

“A great local cafe serving a variety of food by friendly welcoming owners. I would recommend the porridge, Persian or Turkish breakfast and omelette.”

“My son really enjoyed visiting here. He played with the big variety of toys and activities. The staff were great and attentive, it was also very clean. Food and drink was great and we will definitely be back on a regular occurrence.”

“Really great coffee. You can tell the owners really care about the customer experience and have gone to great lengths to make it a welcoming environment!”

“This is one of our local go-to places and it kept us sane throughout the autumn and spring lockdowns. Great coffee and friendly service, top tunes and now toasties and also booze! What's not to like? The seating is outdoors but some of it is covered and they have blankets for when it's cold. Top marks!”

“Sigiriya in Manchester is hands down the best Sri Lankan restaurant we’ve experienced in the UK so far! Just a 20-minute drive from Liverpool, it’s worth every minute of the journey. The restaurant is impeccably clean, and the atmosphere is rich and authentic, truly transporting you to Sri Lanka. The food here is phenomenal—every dish is bursting with flavor and feels incredibly authentic. Chef Dahanaka’s expertise is evident in every bite. A special shoutout to Anil and Lahiru for their outstanding hospitality; they made our dining experience even more enjoyable with their friendly and professional service. If you’re looking for a must-try restaurant, Sigiriya is the place. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their amazing menu. Highly recommend!”

“Standard National Trust cafe. Yummy cakes and drinks :)”

“Lovely small place, great breakfast! Will come again”

“I wanted to thank (Henry?) the tall fellow with the glasses for his lovely customer service when we visited.. made a real impression on us, very personable.. will definitely be back -Jean Leaving this review on behalf of an offline family member*”

“Nice food great cook clean friendly”

“Thank you for coming to our Son's 8th birthday. He had an amazing time with his friends. Great selection of games and friendly staff. The boys were never bored and I would highly recommend The Station Wagon to anyone wanting to book in the future.”

“A really relaxed vibe, friendly and attentive staff. My iced Frappe was well blended which isn't always the case, no lumps of ice in it, and my sausage barm was warmed to perfection.”

“Staff were really friendly and the cocktails were epic!”

“Decent chilled vibes, and the food/coffee is mint too.”

“I was scouring the menu for a breakfast that would jump out at me I obviously was taking a bit too long when the chap said out of the blue IVE GOT SPAM!! Sold straight away spam and egg barm, heaven. Thanks for making my day”
