Quick dining in Manchester

“I've not tried next door cafe but I will soon. Meeting spot for friends to get breakfast food always just what you ask for nicely presented too”

“Best breakfast in Middleton, eggs consistently cooked just right- dippy but not snotty. Friendly staff who are very welcoming.”

“Excellent breakfast, been here several times. Good food, helpful friendly service, clean, and nice atmosphere. I’ve heard the evening menu is good too, must try it.”

“Absolutely amazing party! The room was stunning, the singer was incredible, the food was absolutely gorgeous, and the staff were amazing. Truly the best party ever!”

“Good espresso and great people!”

“Wow amazing food, music, staff and venue. Wings and meatballs definitely recommended. Beautiful mix of heat, flavour and sauce to get every taste bud tingling.”

“I've been going in this shop for years! Always feel welcome girls are lovley. Just recently had pasta salad box a sweet chilli chicken with mayo! It was so nice and filling, will definitely be buying again.”

“Food is top notch and had a great meal. Walked in and kinda stood in the middle awkwardly waiting to been seen too, it looked like they were having issues with one of the machines, thought someone would have acknowledged us or asked if we wanted a seat (if someone said hi be with you in a second we won't of felt weird, like we were in the middle of their service). We approached one of the waitresses and asked if we can sit outside, found a space and was given a menu, asked if we wanted a drink straight away but said we needed time to review the menu as it was our first time here. Our waitress was very younger and honest with her description about the food. The menu sounded tasty and wanted to try it all, but settled for the eggs Benedict, my partner getting the salmon and I got the bacon. Ordered a passion fruit smoothie and a pineapple smoothie too, these came out very quickly and were very refreshing, the passion fruit was sweet and sharp and was a decent amount. We were told that my bacon dish would come out later as they ran out of supplies and asked if I was happy to wait and I agreed, 5minutes later both of our meals came out and looked fantastic! The garlic spinach was bang on, not over powering at all, the bacon was real bacon, tasted of good quality and decent amount and the eggs were a little over for my liking but tasty none the less. The potatoes were well seasoned and very crispy, enjoyed dipping into some ketchup. Fantastic meal and highly recommend it. My partners dish looks scrumptious too. After both finishing our meals, we were satisfied and happy with the meal we had just had but wanted a sweet treat. We ordered a plate of pancakes to share, best decision of the day. Three beautifully stack pillows with caramelised banana in-between with just the right amount of Nutella on.. the picture can not convey how tasty this was! Although we had a great experience here, some other patrons didn't, two people had a delay with their coffee which they made very clear to the rest of the diners, telling everyone how they had waited a long time as they left, turns out busy bees were having issues with the coffee machine and the diners were told, even given a brownie for the delay but still left disgruntled. Another table waited the entire length of our meal (two courses) to be served hers only to be packaged up for her to take away. Amazing to have something like this so close to us and can't wait to visit again, it is new and more can be done to refine the service making it more smooth and to help all patrons have the same experience but I'm really happy something like this is here (Perhaps giving roles or sections/tables to stop doubling up (one table was asked if the food was okay by three different waitresses)). Definitely coming back again for the food, well worth a visit!”

“This was a really charming and friendly tea shop where I stopped for a breakfast and a cuppa. It was good food, hot and the server was super friendly. Would recommend”

“Great cafe 10 minute drive from chill factore / Trafford centre. Small / medium sized cafe, no booking taken over the phone for breakfast, first come first served. We arrived @ 11am and it was very busy. Had to wait about 20 mins for a table but was absolutely worth it and staff where polite and kept us updated whilst we waited. Brunch menu served till 12.30 Cooked breakfast / loaded potato skins / smoked salmon & egg / pancakes etc…. Went for the big cooked breakfast which was truly superb. Hashbrowns i think are home made, and lovely, as re the Cumberland sausage etc. The whole thing was big and filling Would definitely recommend and will return again.”

“Really excellent service and quality of food. Served a big group of us and all really enjoyed. Would recommend to family and friends!”

“Great atmosphere and looks nice, wide range of choices, the paninis were nice.”

“Foods up their. Would be nice if they opened Sunday mornings. I reckon they could make a good fortune there”

“Love this cafe used to go to their cafe in Stockport and now drive 5 miles every Saturday food is great and the most reasonably priced around and we love the coffee. Staff are great”

“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!”

“Lovely staff, great value. Good healthy options and proper breakfasts if you want to indulge.”

“This coffee shop is so cute. It’s become a regular for me and a friend on Wednesday mornings. Coffee and cakes are great. Meeting Lydia (the volunteer) has been such a pleasure. I think she’s brilliant. ( I hope your driving lesson went well!). I’m looking forward to Wednesday already, I must be as I never leave reviews!!!”

“Great sandwich Bar best cheese salad sandwich made fresh. Would recommend.”

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

“Great plate of food for 8.50, photo shows daily specials pick 3 for that price with rice. Lamb masala was mild and flavourful, very tender. Keema peas had a nice kick and the daal was lovely.”

“Food is always fresh and tastes great. Theo is a great chap too and always has a chat with you when time allows. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else.”

“Stopped off after driving past and so glad we did. Was a lovely quaint place with the friendliest and attentive staff and the food was stunning. Definitely couldnt fault the bill either for the quality of the meat alone. Definitely going back”

“Great place. I stopped for a breakfast muffin, barm, breadcake...whatever you call them. Service was swift and pleasant,the place was clean and the food was great. What more can you ask for? I will call again.”

“Nicola provided a buffet for my nephew's 18th on Saturday, I have issues with food, as in I am so so fussy, extremely fussy, I never eat food at a buffet, 1. bread is buttered 2. The cheese is usually grated 3. I don't eat meat, 4. I don't eat anything with pastry, i.e Pies etc cakes Nicola's food was amazing, most of it I could not eat ( that is my issue) the cheese board and crackers was lush, the salad was fresh as was the snacks, I will be using Nicola for any party's we have, hopefully she does Vegan, my granddaughter is only vegan due to medical issues, so the rest of the family did. sorry for the long post,”

“The food was absolutely amazing the staff were so kind and amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful”

“Just had the best afternoon tea in the local area. Lovely hot and cold options on the menu, something for everybody.”

“Cosy cafe with great selection of breakfast and dinner options. Food is very good and prices are good. A great way to start your morning”

“We have ordered breakfast for delivery from here a number of times now and I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve had in a long time, every single time we haven’t been disappointed. Food is piping hot when it arrives and is beautifully presented you can tell the staff take pride in their food and service. The little touches make such a difference and the staff write little messages on the boxes and receipts saying thank you, or enjoy etc. Will definitely be visiting in person at some point.”

“Lovely chippy with great owners. Mixed kebab is great value and the chilli sauce is lovely.”

“Popped in early for great Sunday breakfast. Excellent service, super big tasty plate full of all the right stuff plus very good coffee/tea. Very clean and cheerful place. Credit to the owners.”
