Quick lunch spot in Manchester

“As a family tradition we go out for breakfast on the morning of a holiday. We tried this cafe as the reviews were very positive and my wife had heard about it through a work colleague. The staff were very welcoming. There were a few regulars in who made the place seem very community focussed, more friends than customers. The food was really good freshly prepped after we ordered. When I mentioned where we going on holiday the lady who served us explained she was from that same area originally and advised us of things to look out for. Can't fault it. We will visit again definitely.”

“Great selection of sandwiches snacks and cakes. Lovely service everytime. Brilliant take out service also!”

“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.”

“I've not actually been to this location, but I walk past it all the time and say that I'm gonna go in. Because the staff looked so friendly, it looked so relaxing in there and very like homely two so I will be joining you guys for coffee.Soon”

“We’ve been here twice recently because it’s just so good! The first time I had the Turkish eggs with halloumi and sausage, then the second time I went for the chicken and pancakes, both were amazing. One visit was around 11am on a Saturday and there was about a 15-minute wait, but definitely worth it. The other time we went a bit later and got a table straight away. You can book ahead, but they also keep some tables for walk-ins. Staff are nice and friendly and really good to accommodate allergies too”

“My partner and I were over from Australia recently and stayed with our family in Whaley. We visited the Bakehouse several times and had an amazing experience every time. The food quality and variety was excellent, and we both received excellent customer service. The lovely ladies behind the counter gave us several travel recommendations, often asking us on our next visit how our day trips had been. I have also been to the Bakehouse on previous trips back home, and have always had consistent 5 star service, food and drinks. Keep up the great work ladies - we can’t wait to come back for another visit!!”

“Good espresso and great people!”

“Absolutely worth a visit. Beautiful, tasty, fresh food. Good quality products and a good selection. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely selection of cakes. Would definitely recommend.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Good food, clean place, nice people's 5 stars”

“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!”

“The food is amazing, and the staff are awesome and welcoming. Very much my happy place!”

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

“The staff is lovely and taught me a lot about Manchester. They truly seemed to care about the food quality and were very friendly and conversational. The food is fresh and the afternoon tea is worth every pence (also very affordable compared to other afternoon teas). It's a lot of food too!”

“Now we’re talking. La Collina was a treat - they have a short, simple home-made lunch menu. I had gnocchi with Bolognaise sauce. Perfect portion size. Coffee was delicious and forced myself to have a pistachio cannoli alongside it. Matt the chef is a focused on flavour and dishes with a twist - you can taste it. Nice space to work from too. Back soon. BACK AGAIN: La Collina is a hidden gem. The menu is developing from daytime only into an evening offering too. Matt, the creator and chef is passionate about the menu. New menu dropping in mid August. Go there.”

“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!!!”

“I’ve heard so much about their famous matcha, and today I finally had the chance to try it. The staff recommended the freshly arrived Matcha 22, and it truly lived up to the hype – rich, authentic Japanese flavor and incredibly smooth. Absolutely delicious! Both staff members were super friendly and welcoming, especially the lady! Great drinks, great service – I’ll definitely be back!”

“Top quality clean, tasty breakfast. Best in the area.”

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

“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”

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