Laid back cafe in Manchester

“I had the wonderful opportunity to visit federal market over the weekend with my sister. There was a small line but we were welcomed with hot chocolate and a wonderful greeting which made it feel like a much shorter wait. As we sat, I was greeting kindly by our waiter as we roughly scanned through the menu with only one thing in mind, French Toast. As the french toast arrived, I was astonished and amazed at the presentation. A nice strawberry syrup almost circling the french toast. Taking my first bite, the soft and pillow-like toast mixed with the not so overly sweet whipped cream and strawberry jam that really worked with well together with the acidity of the fresh fruit cutting through the richness. Every bite was consistent with that same taste as the first bite which I believe is crucial in any dish. The place was vibrant and welcoming with a nice atmosphere. Music even playing at the perfect volume where you can speak to the people with you and still enjoy it. 100% my new favorite spot here in Manchester. Recommend everyone to try the french toast.”

“The best shisha ❤️ Very good service ❤️ I really recommend it ❤️”

“What a gem to drop onto whilst driving through Buxton. Definitely worth a stop if you want a bite to eat. Excellent spot A clean plate because the food was that good”

“Really good coffee and fantastic pastries & treats. They also sell some cool artisanal stuff like jams and crisps. Atmosphere is always quiet and relaxed.”

“I have been going to this Cafe since my college days 6 years ago when it used to be a caravan and now it is a shop and the food still tastes amazing and consistent from the very first time trying it out. Bangla Burger is the best with rich flavour and spices and is very filling. I would highly recommend this if you are in the Hyde area/town.”

“Excellent. Great community buzz.”

“Been to this little gem of a place regularly for coffee and snacks. Such friendly service and today at the Halloween sweetie hunt they excelled themselves in putting on a fun and child friendly event. Thank you so much Abney Cafe!”

“Fantastic service. Was welcomed with a smile and no pressure to place my order. Advised me how long it would be then we had a relaxed conversation. The food was well worth the wait. Cooked fresh and full of flavour. Yes it is a little more than McDonald's. But at least the food is warm and you will be supporting a local business. Highly recommend. Will go back.”

“Absolutely amazing wraps, healthy options. As well as some great Friday treats. Been on a number of occasions food is always amazing. Staff are so friendly.”

“A serious specialty coffee shop—just how I like it. They serve premium beans for both filter and espresso, and the staff is exceptionally kind and knowledgeable”

“They normally have a good selection of ales here when I visit, but it was a little weaker than usual. Quality is excellent however.”

“A wonderful community asset with a big smile and welcome. Fantastic fresh juices and milkshakes, served by owners that really love the locality and it's people. Be back soon”

“Absolute gem of a place. Stumbled across it whilst looking for some chips for my son after visiting the nearby park. The place was really cosy and staff very friendly. I can't believe how cheap the prices are. Portion size was huge. Food was fresh, tasty and hot. Had a lovely fireplace and toys for children to play with. I ordered for takeout but you can dine in.”

“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!!!”

“The best coffee house in Monton…hands down! Me and my partner popped in recently and we both agreed straight away that this is our favourite coffee spot ever. The atmosphere is cosy, welcoming and just what you want from a local coffee house and the staff were so friendly! I ordered the steak eggs Benedict with chorizo, and honestly… it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The steak was tender, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the chorizo added the most incredible flavour. I absolutely loved it! The coffee was amazing too, smooth, rich and clearly made with care. We absolutely love this place and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend to anyone in Monton looking for great food, perfect coffee and lovely service! ☕✨”

“Fantastic pub,superb atmosphere and excellent bar staff...don't serve food..”

“Very laid back and relaxing alehouse with fabulous decor. Beer and ale very reasonably priced compared to some similar establishments we have visited.”

“Amazing English atmosphere, and very lovely and hospital owners , they offered complimentary delicious sandwiches and shared the recipe, and free tasting of beverages after showing interest in the cider. They had a great rule of no phones or laptops which encourages real interactions. Definitely recommended :)”

“I always make an effort to visit here, it’s my favourite pub and well worth the 45 minute train journey! Nice staff and they always have decent beers on tap which are always changing and have a lot of bottles to choose from as well. There are board games and snacks too for those who fancy that.”

“We hosted my partner's 30th here over the weekend and I cannot say a big enough thank you to the Tap! From start to finish, everyone was incredible. Paul was super helpful and responsive and the bar staff were amazing. We all had a great time, thanks so much!”

“We went here for a birthday meal, and had a fantastic time. Service was spot on, and all our meals were delicious. As it was really hot weather we sat outside to have our meals. Great place & we'll definitely be back soon.”

“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.”

“Amazing place, beautiful pizza and fresh pasta and we loved the interior. Super nice vibe and great service. Highly highly recommended”

“Our last drink on way back, pleasant staff good atmosphere, was a party on n plenty of music, looked like everyone was having a great night the "City" art was impressive”

“You can’t beat old school multi roomed Holts pubs if you appreciate your heritage venues. Great service and the Holts Best Bitter is as good as it gets. If you’re passing - call in you won’t be disappointed.”

“Good food, nice surroundings & atmosphere. With friendly staff.”

“Mark, Claire and the team are so very welcoming. Such a great bunch of people on both sides of the bar. The venue is cool and quirky. Interesting features such as the wagon wheel. Also loved looking at the art. There's live music, and sometimes food!! One of my favourite places to spend time in tameside!”

“Good friendly staff , good beer and great atmosphere, artist, karaoke at weekends, nice busy pub.”

“First time visit and the breakfast, pastries and drinks were amazing! Will be coming back as soon as I can!”
