Tea lover in Manchester

“The Cocoa Tree Chorlton has moved from next door to Oxfam to opposite Chorlton Post Office and I had the most out-of-this-world chocolate experience I have ever had, here recently. I visited with a friend, whom I was buying coffee & cake for. I ordered a dark hot chocolate with raspberry sauce (albeit tasting gorgeously like melted Turkish Delight) and a warm chocolate brownie. The drink was very hot, which makes a change from so many hot chocolates in oh so many other café bars and it retained its heat to the very last mouthful, possibly as a result of the added sauce. The brownie cake was also delicious. To top off the experience, the shop owner presented us with a couple of handmade chocolates. I can't speak for my friend, but I popped mine in my mouth for an explosion of chewy, but melt-in-the-mouth mintiness. The overall cost for two people was a bit pricier that I might've paid in most other coffee/chocolate shops, but for the tastes and the hot chocolate remaining hot till the end, I think I would have been surprised had it been any less expensive. I imagine I will be bringing friends here for a treat, for many years to come. I highly recommend this shop!”

“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”

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

“I popped into one Thirty this Morning for a G.F. Breakfast. Unfortunately no G.F. Sausages. But I recieved plenty of Bacon to compensate. Lovely young Lady served me, very accommodating. Next Time I'll go for the "Big Breakfast" as G.F. bread are Tiny Slices. I checked out the "Breakfast box" in the Reviews it Looked BAZZIN. Overall a Very Pleasant experience ☺ The Young lady even worked out my Bill so it came back Cheaper. Bargain.”

“They're one of the best cafes around. Staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. They'll get more customers if they offer more food types, like pastries and cakes.”

“Super food .good friendly service park at door back again”

“I had the wonderful opportunity to visit federal market over the weekend with my sister. There was a small line but we were welcomed with hot chocolate and a wonderful greeting which made it feel like a much shorter wait. As we sat, I was greeting kindly by our waiter as we roughly scanned through the menu with only one thing in mind, French Toast. As the french toast arrived, I was astonished and amazed at the presentation. A nice strawberry syrup almost circling the french toast. Taking my first bite, the soft and pillow-like toast mixed with the not so overly sweet whipped cream and strawberry jam that really worked with well together with the acidity of the fresh fruit cutting through the richness. Every bite was consistent with that same taste as the first bite which I believe is crucial in any dish. The place was vibrant and welcoming with a nice atmosphere. Music even playing at the perfect volume where you can speak to the people with you and still enjoy it. 100% my new favorite spot here in Manchester. Recommend everyone to try the french toast.”

“V friendly, tasty food, reasonable prices. Nice little back room for eat in.”

“The cafe is the best doggy cafe for miles x the cafe lady who runs it is lovely and is a credit to the council she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome x”

“Nice day out, grounds are big and wheel chair/push chair friendly. Some steps involved but places to leave the pushchairs. Lots of nice flowers and good woodland areas, shame about the fountain and pool being dry tho or half dry! Lovely landscapes all round and well maintained. We spent couple hours here but have done many halls before, you can make it an all day thing with other activities near by or longer walks around the grounds. The best view for me came from the top of the fields just outside the house, if you have a good camera with a good zoom lens or binoculars it over looks Manchester and Manchester airport! Great for those plane watchers! Also in more windy weather like today it’s good for kite flying on the hill top.”

“Eaten from the normal menu loads via takeout/online ordering, but today we ate in and had the breakfast. Tried the Morning Glory - hands down best breakfast menu item I've ever eaten, along with a brilliant brew (I want to buy one of those mugs!) and lovely atmosphere. Service was top notch, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back for more brunches and sandwiches.”

“This place is five ⭐ stars!! Afternoon event for a Holy Communion! Food, atmosphere and staff all amazing. A sense that they all enjoy their work!! Very clean and probably the best breakfast food I’ve had in years! Perfection!! Value for money also was a 5/5!!!! My son who has autism enjoyed his food and ate it so that’s a big compliment!!! We will be back!!!”

“Wonderful coffee, comfortable and inviting surroundings and friendly staff. I could tell that many customers were regulars even though it was my first visit. Lots of board games, which I see from other reviews is a Thing here. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“We got the £22 per person deal and added some sushi and black Sesame seed ice cream. Absolutely loved every part of the meal.”

“Can't move I'm so full. Outstanding portions and amazing flavours. One of the best I've ever tried. Very reasonable price also. Ordered a mix of meals with rice and peas.”

“Junipers is such a lovely establishment. The staff are so welcoming and kind and the service was fabulous. Our server, Flash, was so attentive and made sure we had the best experience! The food was lovely & drinks were delicious. Definitely will return! 5 stars x”

“They'd just opened, I plonked myself on a seat and ordered a breakfast muffin, it's literally still in my hand now and it's 'effin delicious. Friendly and quick service, freshly cooked and I live nowhere near but ill come again when I'm on training at the brewery. Could not recommend more.”

“Usually go into town with my girlfriend but the traffic was bad so we went local. This place was just as good as any you’ll find in town. Really flavoursome stews and the injera was delicious. If you’re based in South Manchester, I’d definitely recommend popping down here. Welcoming atmosphere and the servers were really friendly.”

“First time visiting: staff were lovely, helped with any questions I had due to intolerances. Traditional tasty Italian food, no unnecessary extras. The carbonara was the best I've had. Fab selection of cakes too. Highly recommend!!”

“FISH DISHES 95. Salt & Pepper Fish / £7.10 WOW WHAT A LOVELY TREAT, The fish was battered , lots of pieces, flavoured with JOY. i had chips with mine,£7.60 , but Wow was it worth it, homemade chips made with potatoes ( NOT these oven baked hollow ones )”

“Affordable, tasty food! The best salt and pepper chips and ribs ever! Foo young also my fav! Have been coming here for 20yrs! I won't eat anywhere else :)”

“What a treat of a cafe to find in Ashton . Proper home made tater hash served with bread and butter was delicious! Lovely atmosphere and great staff !”

“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.”

“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!”

“Nice atmosphere. Large cup of Chai Latte was LARGE and delicious. Jaffa Cake was also great!”

“Steak Canadians are lovely. Nelson and his family are very friendly. Been going there for years and I always dance to the music on there radio.”

“Great full English breakfast. Really close to stockport shopping centre so in a great location. Amazing service as well. Definitely pop by again”

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton. Everyone I work with recommends this cafe for the welcoming service and homely feel. & I can tell why. You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“We went for brunch and both had the bacon on sourdough ciabatta with black pudding and one with a fried egg. They were much larger than expected (no complaint there!), perfectly cooked and delicious. Allergens were checked for on ordering. The staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. Loved the style and atmosphere, looking forward to going again. Oh and the coffee was fab!”

“Friendly and welcoming place with good quality food and drinks for a good price. Would definitely recommend.”
