Speciality coffees in Manchester

“I came today and had a latte to stay in and it was an amazing Latte. I recommend this place.”

“Friendly staff, delicious drinks. Really tasty iced tea. I got an elderflower iced tea and it was perfect. Not too sweet or strong. Nice atmosphere, quite empty and radio playing at a good level. Highly reccomend. Has nice outdoor seating and is wheelchair accessible.”

“The best matcha I’ve had so far in Manchester (I chose the pistachio one). The waiters were incredibly sweet and friendly, and the outdoor seating was lovely, though the indoor space is quite small”

“I have been coming to this coffee shop for a weekly coffee date with my little girl for years. The staff are really lovely, very helpful and friendly and good the extra mile to give a good experience. The drinks and food are good, and good value. Better than Starbucks/Costa/Nero and cheaper. I expect to having a weekly mum and daughter coffee date here for years to come.”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“Quaint and lovely! Great food, don't skip the dessert.”

“The best hot chocolate, and recently appreciated his icey cold frapachinos in this heat wave, thank you Nigel”

“Really nice food, great service too, got complimentary Meze and Turkish tea too with our order.”

“One of my favourite costa coffees in Manchester, very friendly staff and great vibes inside”

“The Bailey's hot chocolate is exactly what you need on a winter's day. Thanks coffee shack! The whole place is amazing and such a fantastic location.”

“Tried it instead of our usual places and glad we did. Excellent coffee and the eggs were perfect. The waitress Blake was attentive and made a special effort to ensure my wife’s scrambled egg even had soya milk in when cooked! Good atmosphere and a clean place.”

“I visited Costa Gatley Sunday afternoon — a clean, well-maintained store with a cosy atmosphere and a good selection of food options. However, what stood out during my visit was an interaction at the till that left me quite surprised, and not in a good way. When I ordered a medium hot drink, the young girl serving me actively discouraged the choice. She suggested I go for a smaller size, saying: “There’s not much difference in size — go for the small and save some pennies.” As someone who has run a business for over a decade, I found this quite concerning. In most places, staff are trained to upsell — encouraging customers to consider larger sizes or additional items, which is standard practice in retail and hospitality. Her approach, while possibly well-intentioned, directly goes against basic principles of sales and revenue generation. Encouraging customers to spend less, especially unprompted, may seem kind, but it’s ultimately damaging to the business. In my view, this isn’t just unprofessional — it’s a risk to the long-term health of the store. Costa may want to consider reviewing training procedures to ensure staff understand the balance between customer service and commercial awareness. Thank you”

“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!”

“I asked Ryan's Italian to cater a works event in Manchester City centre and ordered 20 pizzas. The pizzas were delivered on time and hot. All night I was being asked where I ordered the pizzas from as everyone was loving them. Thank you very much for catering our event!”

“Best shisha lounge in curry mile. No annoying hordes of people, great chilled out atmosphere and the shisha is spot on!”

“Lovely service and lovely drinks! I will be back regularly!”

“Vibe Coffee was right across from our Airbnb and the first stop we made. Rachel was there to greet us and was very kind! We made multiple stops during our stay - I recommend anything with halloumi!”

“I luv this place respect the staff and they respect me recommend jo as the 1 nicest managers all staff a fab berry clean pub atmosphere is amazing xxx”

“What a lovely hotel! It was clean and comfortable! Everything was in good condition. Good stay after arriving in a late flight. I would return and recommend!”

“Not my first review, but another stay of over a week at this hotel. Decent location, glad I'm not parking on the grounds though with a £3 daily fee, when it was free till recently. Staff terrific again. Special shout out to Bruce who was brilliant with our reservation, as well as Amar and Hannah, who are fantastic. Finally, we often get in very late and see Nathan, who does the graveyard shift, and is another terrific member of staff. All the best to everyone and see you again soon, I'm sure.”

“Lovely selection of food, cooked fresh. Fast and friendly service - would highly recommend”

“Lovely place, right next to Heaton Park metro. Only had a brew and a cake but it’s spacious, light and airy, with nice, big booths and a sunny back yard (looks like a good set up for DJ’s too) Coffee was good, sweet stuff was from Silver Apples, so pretty familiar and more than decent quality. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely head back and try some proper food and drinks soon”

“Our church family from St Paul's with St John's United Reformed Church, Abbey Hey, visited this new venture today and what a pleasure it was to do so. The place itself is spotlessly clean and light and airey. The staff are amazing! So friendly and helpful. Can't do enough for you. The menue offers a great choice and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back! We'll worth a visit! Highly recommended.”

“Went in for a coffee which was very nice also had a bit of cake which was good the shop was quite and plenty of seats to sit down”

“Costa Coffee Ashton Under Lyne. Excellent service and grub served up by great professional staff.”

“Starbucks Coffee provides a reliable and comfortable spot for coffee lovers, with a wide range of drinks and snacks. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, perfect for relaxing or working, and the staff are usually friendly and efficient. Consistently convenient and enjoyable.”

“The girls at the village Starbucks are a real credit to the company what should have been a quick order of coffee turned into a pleasant transaction you rarely get today. it really brightened my day. Keep up the great service girls. If I unfortunately find myself back in Cheadle hopefully Claire Chloe and Millie will still be there ❤️”

“I often go out of my way to walk a little bit extra to visit this Costa as I find it a much nicer location than any of the other city centre branches! I'd been wanting to try the tandoori bhaji flatbread for a while but had tried 3 other Costas in Manchester and had no luck. Went to Bridge Street and got one straight away. The staff are always super friendly, the location is more peaceful than others in the city centre and it's always been clean when I've nipped in for a coffee or lunch. This is one of my favourite Costa branches and I would highly recommend visiting this one.”

“There are many Costa coffee outlets in the Stockport area, but this is the best. The staff are fantastic, friendly and efficient, and parking is easy with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.”
