The 30 Best Local cafe in Manchester

“Call in here quite often for their cooked breakfast. Always fresh and always tasty. I haven't tried any of their other food that's on the menu but if their breakfast is anything to go by it should be good.”

“Great spot for always having at least one gluten free beer on tap, usually a couple. I'm a big fan of when they've got locals like Brightside. Generally a good atmosphere whenever I come. Sometimes a lot busier than others, probably event related as it's very close to a number of live venues. That said, I can often find a seat in the second, quieter room pictured below. I would appreciate GF food options, but I understand this is exceptionally difficult considering they do pizzas. The music is almost never particularly loud, which means you can always converse. The only setback would be that some of the beers can be pricey, but this is absolutely to be expected given they are quality craft beers rather than mass products, and I say this is one of the few spots where it's worth it”

“Food is good and service spot on”

“FABULOUS! We were warmly greeted and served by the most sweet, chatty and efficient little lady - so good to see families involving their children and instilling values at this young age. The food was delicious, the portions healthy & delivered promptly - will definitely be going back!”

“Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning and would absolutely recommend. Both the waitress and chef were really friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. I ordered the Omelette with chips which was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. The food was served hot and tasted great. Portion sizes were quite big and prices are reasonable. The atmosphere inside the place was really nice too. There's indoor and outdoor seating available plus a customer toilet. My only critique would be that the canned and bottled drinks are not refrigerated and I think they should change this. Would be nice if they made a kids menu too”

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton.

You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“Popped in for breakfast with elderly Mum whilst in Manchester. Busy, relaxed cafe suitable for all ages and abilities, a bit posher than your usual greasy spoon. Expect to queue, but it moves fast. Food scrumptious, plus vegan friendly eats available. Walls adorned with pictures of Manchester and Oasis. Cheap as chips.”

“Very nice cafe. Grabbed a standard English with a decaf cappuccino Good location and tasty quality food with special mixes of Egyptian salt and sauce, handmade. Didn't try the sauce but was recommended to put the salt and spices in with the beans which was very nice Staff friendly and helpful”

“I had such a lovely experience. I was served by these two sweet sisters who filled my strange request of a mystery cake and drink and boy did they not underserve. The cafe was so quaint and lovely with the essence of small village cafe and was decorated with needle felted spiders for halloween. Overall it was a great experience and i recommend the victoria sponge.”

“Really good breakfast, I went for the vegetable option, but they had more choice if you go for meat. Coffee was also nice and it's a very friendly atmosphere. God value for money too”

“Great place to eat and relax after a nice walk round Sale water park. Extremely dog friendly.”

“Ever meandered through Chorlton Park and missed the Tibetan cafe? Well, I finally gave it a go and oh boy, what a joy! Snug by the playground, it's perfect for foodie families, picnic punters, and anyone on the prowl for friendly faces and hearty portions! Tried the sha sha chicken and the momos, both worthy contenders, but it was the cauliflower stir-fry with rice and veggies that stole my heart (and stomach). This humble veggie is transformed into a showstopper so delectable, it might just compel you to write poetry. So, gather the kiddos, nab a sunny spot and get ready for a taste of Tibet that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even left!”
