Hot drinks in Manchester

“This is a generally busy Nero coffee shop located near Manchester Royal Hospital and Manchester University. It is very close to the Whitworth Gallery. I like the coffee in Nero coffee shops. It is generally consistent. The staff in this particular branch are always friendly and helpful with good service. They keep the place tidy. My only criticism is that like many Nero Coffee shops the furniture is looking somewhat tired and in need of a refresh.”

“Clean, comfortable, modern, very user friendly, eat in, take away, drive through- peaceful relaxing atmosphere , helpful attentive friendly staff,foods beautifully displayed making choices easier - great food, great coffee. Highly recommend it.”

“It’s in a very nice location inside a bookshop. It can get a bit crowded during Uni lunch hour but the quick and friendly service makes up for it. The place is also clean. I got a pistachio latte which was delicious. Looking forward to visiting again soon.”

“I go once a week with my toddler to this species Costa we absolutely love the staff are friendly and always the order is right it’s a nice happy place to go to”

“The best full English I’ve ever had. Not many halal spots that do 10/10 breakfast, but this is definitely up there. I would have taken a pic but I was so in awe that I only remembered after I finished. What beautiful waitresses and service”

“The oddies Monday to Thursday 7 to 11 it's happy hour, 25p off all draught beer. All day everyday 2 Buds for £5 and any 2 Sambuca or Jagermeister £5.”

“Booked a table for 15 with pre ordered food from the menu . Young lady behind the bar was brilliant. You could see she was on her own but she got all the food out really quickly and still served behind the bar . The food was really good with a wide selection across the group everyone enjoyed there meals . Thanks Paul little lever”

“Had both of my daughters birthdays here. Want to say thanks to Tom and all the staff at let loose, went above and beyond to make sure the birthdays were special for them. Much appreciated guys!! Would definitely recommend. And we've been returning regularly. P.s the biscoff ice coffee is lush! ☺️”

“We love it here. Fantastic place for the kids. Staff are always fabulous, helpful and great with the kids. Food is good, not too expensive. Coffees good to. It is loud so if you have sensitive hearing taking some headphones would be advisable.”

“Really nice place to spend some tíme with ur kids. The staff is really nice here. Our son really enjoyed it.”

“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.”

“As a solo diner I generally visit The Lodge once a week. The staff are always welcoming and friendly especially Lisa who always goes above and beyond to ensure that my visit is a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend The Lodge to anyone. All the team and the food are second to none. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to my weekly visits. Thank you once again to Lisa x”

“An absolutely excellent take away. The food was great with the pizza dough being a stand out. We're from Manchester and after I placed the order I got a phone call to make sure it was ordered from the right place. The food was quick, tasty and the man was friendly. I highly recommend it”

“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.”

“Loved the coffee. There’s also a good selection of sandwiches where they can toast it for you”

“I often go out of my way to walk a little bit extra to visit this Costa as I find it a much nicer location than any of the other city centre branches! I'd been wanting to try the tandoori bhaji flatbread for a while but had tried 3 other Costas in Manchester and had no luck. Went to Bridge Street and got one straight away. The staff are always super friendly, the location is more peaceful than others in the city centre and it's always been clean when I've nipped in for a coffee or lunch. This is one of my favourite Costa branches and I would highly recommend visiting this one.”

“Great selection of items. Really kind and jovial staff who are on the ball. Explained the reason for waiting, polite and helpful. Now stocking sods stream canisters, so I'll definitely be back”

“Convenient for locals. I was dropping a parcel off at the parcel safes outside,. So not so local to me but I'm sure local residence find this place very useful There are other shops including at least 3 food shops in the same block including English, Chinese and Indian food and a 24 hour petrol station with Tesco shop right on the roundabout accross the road. So pretty good range of shops for locals within a small area.”

“A great pool and exercise facilities in the centre of Ashton-under-Lyne. Car park at the rear of the building. Close to transport links. Staff are really helpful and very friendly. Swimming is fully open now and you do not have to prep book online for swimming.”

“Joy who works here is fantastic. She always makes a real effort with the customers and has time for a chat.”

“Absolutely spot on! Ordered a half-and-half pizza (Mexican and Chicken Fajita), garlic cheese bites and peri peri chicken poppers — and everything was banging. The flavours were on point, loads of topping, and it all arrived piping hot. The garlic cheese bites were proper cheesy and the peri peri chicken had a decent kick without being too spicy. Definitely one of the best Papa John’s orders I’ve had. Will be ordering again soon!”

“We always order the same meal, yes boring but it's a good way of knowing the good from the not so good, ordered the beef foo yung and chicken chow mein as we have done many times before, but have to say this evenings was exceptional!! Even called them back to tell them how good it was, and they said they have a new chef, we say he's a keeper, wow awesome friday tea in these cost of living times when takeaways are a real treat, we thankyou”

“My mother regularly visits this cafe with friends so took me along too as I'm up visiting. We've been twice together now and I just love the food and cakes here! The lady owner makes the sweet treats which is impressive and the cheese toasties are something out of a dream. All melty inside and crispy on the top from the extra cheesy goodness added there. They make nice hot drinks and everything is reasonably priced (toasties £6 and very filling). It's a lovely place to sit in the park and the regulars are friendly. No one seems to hog tables so we have been able to sit there both times. However, in busy times there are plenty of nice benches in the park to take a coffee and cake. Lovely place and the ladies are nice and friendly, even when rushed off their feet. They always say hello to my mum by name (and to others I've heard) so they obviously care about their customers.”

“I went to Java after parkrun with a couple of park running friends. It was recommended by the team at Hyde parkrun and I can see why. There’s a really good range of food and drink available, and the prices are very reasonable indeed. We each had a really tasty, freshly baked pain au raisin, and one friend had the scrambled eggs on toast. This, along with three hot drinks, came in under £14. The service was first class, and they kindly replace one of the drinks I managed to spill. There’s only limited seating inside, but plenty of space outside. Highly recommended.”

“Exceptional HOT cup of coffee as requested. Thank you to the guy who served me this morning, great service,chat and a smile”

“Exceptional service, from a young lady called Bailey. Treated me as an individual, knew her brand and how to use the app. Went over and above.”

“The Indian street food and chai tea are delicious”

“I absolutely love Costa Coffee, but the best store for me is my local one. All staff and friendly and store is well cleaned. I visit on a weekly basis and I haven’t had one negative experience.”

“Wonderful barristas - always cheerful and friendly - they know their regular customers and orders so well. Special shout out to Mandeep and Kayleigh; you are both just wonderful ❤️”

“Great cafe located in the bus/train/tram transport terminal. Fab to get a take away to take to terminal one, two or three, or if you have time to kill before leaving the airport it's got a nice large sit down area inside. The Italian cream buns are out of this world, defo worth a try if you have not tried before. The coffee is freshly ground and delicious, great quality. The service is as fast as they can, however it can be still take a while when they are busy due to it all being hand crafted.”
