Local café in Manchester

“Came here today with my friend to grab a quick bite and some coffee ! My friend is coeliac and can never find cafés with gluten free bread. Although we know most restaurants can’t guarantee the risk of cross contamination, Katie made a conscious effort to ensure my friends toast was gluten free and prepared separately from mine. I will be returning, great family friendly place to pop by for a quick drink !”

“The Gallery Café at Manchester Art Gallery offers a relaxed and welcoming environment to enjoy seasonal British dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. The menu includes hearty mains, fresh salads, and a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Desserts are made in-house, featuring cakes like pistachio and lime or banana loaf with cream cheese frosting. The café also serves a range of coffees, specialty teas, and wines. Located in the city centre, it’s a great spot to rest and refuel while exploring the gallery or nearby attractions.”

“Once again they have delivered, I come here regularly, called again today with my two daughters who live in Canada. The place is always well lit and spotless, such an important trait, we chose our food and sat waiting to be called to collect our food. The girls were as impressed as myself, the food is so fresh and with the selection of salad and sauces available it only adds to the experience. I managed to clear my plate,( no surprise there) my daughters had to admit defeat and take some home to enjoy later.”

“Food was absolutely delicious. We had the banana french toast and the salami and prosciutto ciabatta. The best we’ve had. Good portion sizes and great value for money.”

“Absolutely lovely, the park is so pretty and the staff here are super stars! I’d recommend feeding the ducks at the pond just up the hill to, and afterwards try the chicken curry, it’s life changing.”

“The Burger was pretty good, service was fast. And the Doughnuts are amazing. All in all worth the money.”

“It's a wonderful family run cafe. They always have a chat and ask how people are. They still get on with their work and the food is absolutely gorgeous.”

“Good food friendly people would recommend”

“Great hot food! The pastries were great. They were freshly baked and tasty. The price was reasonable. The staffs were nice. Toilets were clean.”

“A very pleasant coffee shop just outside Manchester Victoria railway station. Part of Hotel Indigo. Surprisingly large with a choice of comfortable rooms and seats. Cakes and breakfast butties available. Newspapers free to read. Taking Alic on a rare outing. Boothroyd chose him for this trip. There ia also a bar that I've never been to! Americano £3. Lovely staff.”

“it is in a mall, but it's cool because you can people watch easily. and the music is bumpin. the food slaps. I ate my panini so fast I forgot to take a photo. the counter lady was nice and friendly. it was a yummy sandwich. edit: I ran back for a photo of the bar”

“We’ve just had the most delicious corporate lunch delivered to our offices, so fresh and beautifully presented would highly recommend!”

“Very nice and clean coffee shop”

“Fabulous choice of food. Staff were patient and polite. Everywhere really clean no cluttered uncleared tables.”

“All staff are very friendly especially Karen she goes out of her way with a smile and a chat breakfast is always great and place is very clean”

“Good food and very nice staff. If you have time in the Heaton Park, you should come and visit this cafe!”

“I booked a dome for afternoon tea for partners birthday. Food was delicious. I had the vegan option which was really well thought out rather than just dupes of the classic. We were served by Angel who was very polite, professional and helpful. Angel went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed and extra as its been such a hot day. Angel made sure the children were kept hydrated. Thank you Angel”

“Cannot understand the poor reviews. Had many meals from here and always been fine. Best selection of vegan or vegetarian Chinese dishes in the whole of Eccles and Salford. Have an easy to use website and deliver. Prefer this compared to using Uber, just eat, etc.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Booked late on Friday night for early Sat morning for a kids haircut, really easy to book online, Aaron was great with my son and checked multiple times we were happy with the cut & length. Great haircut & service.”

“Had a weekend away in the Peak District and was visiting nearby towns. Came across this lovely little cafe in a small town not to far from where we were staying (Whaley bridge). We ordered the egg and avacado toast which was yummy!! The hot chocolate was really rich and just perfect. What attracted me to this cafe was the mostly vegetarian menu. The cafe was also a walking distance from Millennium walkway is another great place to visit!”

“I had such a lovely breakfast experience here. I pre ordered and booked the day before for a late morning vegetarian breakfast. The owner was very quick to respond to my social media messages and happily made adjustments to my order. Food was delicious and service was very quick. Condiments were offered and a toilet is available inside. Seating available outside during good weather. Takeaway orders are taken. The boat was warm, cosy and full of character. The owner was really friendly and asked us questions about ourselves and built up a good rapport. Will definitely return”

“Recently moved into the area and always pop in before my morning train to work. Amazing coffee & the guys are very friendly. Would highly recommend.”

“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.”
