Reading café in Manchester

“An absolute hidden gem. The breakfast was amazing, with good quality products, and extremely well priced. Staff friendly and polite. Can't recommend this place enough. Easy 5***** review.”

“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”

“Went to hillside cafe for breakfast today, we ordered toasted BLT and chips x2, cooked perfectly. The Latte’s are the best around. staff are friendly, and cafe is kept very clean, keep it up x”

“Quick and friendly service, a decent selection for a small outlet and reasonable prices. The Café itself is located inside the Music and Drama centre.”

“Friendly and efficient service, a decent range of food and drink options, prices are a little steep though.”

“Excellent coffee, nice and cozy environment. The owner was a lovely person”

“We called in for the first time on Saturday morning and were really impressed by the quality of the food and drinks on offer and the standard of the service. One of the best cups of coffee available!”

“First time here. Took our dogs with us and the staff even gave them a free sausage as a snack. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Good atmosphere. Would recommend and will definitely return”

“Only just discovered the Damson tree today, 4 take out sandwiches lunchtime today absolutely lovely, Fair price too,”

“Love cafe vibes, we love coming here when we feel too lazy to go into town for food. They have English breakfast and Asian food which is perfect because both are our comfort food.”

“I popped into Coffee Block for a quick brew and a teacake, and it absolutely made my morning. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and cheerful — she greeted every person who walked in with a big smile and genuine warmth. It was lovely to see how she chatted with the regulars, taking the time to ask about their day. The atmosphere felt so positive and welcoming, and the coffee was spot on. A lovely place all round, and I’ll definitely be returning soon!”

“We love Owen’s Little Music Makers. So much energy consumed it guarantees a relaxed lunch while the baby takes a good long nap! What more could you want?”

“Double D's provided hot food for my 50th party. The customer service was amazing from my first enquiry. Everything needed was provided by them, plates, napkins etc. The food was outstanding. All my guests went up for seconds. I would highly recommend and would not think twice about using again.”

“I had afternoon tea for my birthday and everything was perfect and delicious. The tea room is lovely decorated with cute tea pots and cups. We were too full to finish it all and they boxed the left over cakes up for me to take home. Great experience and highly recommended.”

“Great, cozy cafe for a winter morning coffee & pie. The Chai latte was nice & sweet and the keylime pie was amazing. Easily the best keylime pie I've ever had! Happily coming 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.”

“Visited many times & never had a bad experience. Lovely little play corner for children. Also had an afternoon tea baby shower for a friend not long ago, after the new owners took over. They did a fantastic job & having the place to ourselves worked perfectly. Thank you!”

“Love the decor and vibe in the Rose & Monkey. Ambience is just right as can’t stand brightly lit pubs. Always great music playing in the background. Handy for both Northern Quarter and Ancoats.”

“I like it here. A medium sized pond with a view up to the hills, on a quiet gravel road. Sometimes the cows come down to the water's edge, or the mist makes the whole scene gorgeous. Mallards, tufted ducks, coots, the occasional goosander, heron and kingfisher. Flocks of geese in the fields often. Swans nest here in the summer.”

“Best food and especially best banter in the area. Always smiling staff and the food is top notch. Highly recommend”

“Great experience and the staff were incredibly lovely to chat to! Especially Amy, Connor and Charlie who gave me a good insight into their coffee as I’m a novice! Amy’s latte was the best bit!”

“Wow. This has to be one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to! It’s located in the Northern Quarter (Manchester) and it’s situated in an urban area. When you walk inside, you are greeted with a calming fountain and a beautiful atmosphere, just as calming as the fountain. You talk to the staff, who are very nice and kind (10/10) and order your drink (if you want). There is also a wide array of affordable food, you can get cakes, chapatis and quesadillas as well. I ordered Karma Cola (sugar-free) which doesn’t taste like any other cola, it tastes better. The cola isn’t too sweet as well, compared to other colas. You explore around the cafe, curiously, and find the Library. Now, this library is the calmest library I’ve ever been to. Shelves are filled with books and the room is painted in an ambient brown, making it feel even more calming. You look around the library, head to toe in a sense of tranquil. No music is played here. It’s very quiet. You leave the cafe satisfied and calm. Overall, you need to try this cafe, it’s great. The staff are nice, it is affordable, drinks are high quality and if you are looking for a cafe where you can study or just relax, this is the right place for you.”

“I see quite a few people have negative 1* reviews but my takeaway experience was outstanding!! The food was out of this world literally, the pounded yam nice and soft, Banga Soup was just mouthwatering, every bite just made me want more! And the Taba (don't get me started) I used to have Taba as a kid and throughout my years never found a place that made Taba the way this one place made it when I was young... Tried this place for my birthday and the Taba was spot on like they were the ones that made it when I was little... 100/10 - seriously.”

“The girls here were so friendly and were super down to earth best customer service ive seen”

“Costa Coffee is one of my favorite cafes. Their coffee is delicious and perfectly made. The cakes are balanced in taste, and I also love their sandwiches. The Stratford branch is quiet, the staff are amazing, and the place is spacious. I enjoy meeting my friends there, and I love everything about it.”

“One of my favourite places to work from when I’m out of the office! Staff are SO lovely and accommodating. Always very clean and lots of places to sit without overcrowding. Only issue (which isn’t their fault!) is the 2 hour parking restriction - I’d stay longer if I could!”

“It’s in a very nice location inside a bookshop. It can get a bit crowded during Uni lunch hour but the quick and friendly service makes up for it. The place is also clean. I got a pistachio latte which was delicious. Looking forward to visiting again soon.”

“Went on Saturday night to see a unpopular film. it was a great experience, as zero queues, quick to get snacks. great seat positioning (right in middle of screen). the screen was great, sound awesome. Clean. and even the "cheaper" seats were comfortable with lots of leg room for a 6ft man.”

“First of all, we like Cafe Nero because it's probably the only coffee chain in the UK that actually knows how to make real coffee. This is our go-to branch by choice because of the way it's ran and the customer service. The branch manager is a classy gentleman who knows a lot about coffee and is always very friendly. The staff there is clearly trained really well, too. Now, what we like about this branch is that they have everything! I can't remember one time that they were missing a syrup. Pistachio, honeycomb - it's all there, always there. Also, I love the fact that when you order a coffee they make sure to remind you that there is a single-origin option. It's easy to forget and it tastes SO MUCH BETTER!”
