“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!”

“Lovely place! Prices are excellent, the portions are very generous and the flavor and presentation doesn’t disappoint. The woman and the boy that served were friendly! It was a bit packed and it’s a bit small but we didn’t wait more than 20 minutes once we order.”

“Been wanting to check out since moving to the area and loved the cozy atmosphere. I was SO happy they had vegan milkshakes as I've not been able to find anywhere that makes them! That and my avocado bagel was delicious. Love the different food options for a little brunch. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try their tea and coffee.”

“Fantastic food and menu and a really lovely atmosphere, it’s always so welcoming and there is a real sense of community that Jonathan, Diane and the whole team foster. The service is brilliant, but beyond service there is a real effort to make it personal, with genuine warmth. Had an open flatbread today which was delicious, as is the specialty coffee.”

“Fatayar and Shawarma is a great spot for delicious shawarma and fatayar. The shawarma is packed with juicy, well-seasoned meat, and the fatayar is freshly baked with flavorful fillings. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The takeaway service is quick, making it perfect for a fast and tasty meal.

“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!”

“Beautiful building, a real hidden gem! It was lovely and quiet around 9:30am on a Saturday. The queue was starting to build by 10am when I left. The brownie had a nice homemade taste, but it was a little dry. I find this is usually the case in cafes, but this was certainly one of the better ones. You can also choose to have it warmed and served with cream when you order. The mocha frappe was also good, but a frappe is different to an iced mocha, so expect it to be sweet!”

“Went tonight with a party of 6, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Unbelievable Italian drinks selection. Sat down inside when everyone arrived, the owner made room for my father in-law in his wheel chair. (Which isn't easy everywhere!) Food was amazing, everyone loved it, I had the lasagne which was Unbelievable. Honestly couldn't recommend any more. We can't wait to go back. Unbelievable value as well considering the quality. ***Wheel Chair friendly as-well***”

“This is an oasis of delightful experience, low-cost food, and excellent coffee. I was shocked to discover this thoughtfully arranged wayplace within the sterile halls of the interchange. Please visit and enjoy as I have done.”

“Wonderful food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Came here 14th December for the Christmas markets and parade. Would recommend to come here for a bite to eat or if the other pubs are full. We'll worth the money”

“Well designed building. Large open spaces inside of ground floor atrium with large lecture theaters. Smaller rooms around upper floors. Many with no windows may feel more constrained. Well planned external space and campus with a short walk to main campus.”

“two guys on the sunday day shift thank you KINGS my hot chocolate was so good with the added unconventional syrups love u guys i hope the rest of the shift was easy and light!! u both clearly have a lot of knowledge knowing the milk would curdle with certain additions, good work team !”

She is always smiling and makes everyone feel welcome. Her fellow staff are members are also lovely and Alex always makes the Starbucks experience great too.”

“We were looking for a breakfast in Denton, we found this little gem just opposite Lidl, oh what a great find it was! Smiling owner, very cosy and making you wanna go back! Very reasonably priced and menus sticking to your hands not because they were dirty but because they’re so nice to touch and browse! We’ll be definitely back for the roast and other menu items (pizza etc). Some music (Italian maybe?) would be nice.”

“My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and we had the most wonderful evening! Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated immediately. For starters we had calamari, focaccia and olives - all were delicious! Our mains, the pizza and steak were equally yummy. The highlight of the evening for me was when the waiters brought out a cake and sang happy birthday. Thank you so much to all the staff- you were so friendly and professional, and you made my birthday very special. Grazie mille!”

“A lively and bustling establishment, with a warm and friendly atmosphere, helpful and enthusiastic staff. More to the point, great food and drinks. Thanks for accommodating our party of ten for Brunch on Tuesday.”
