“Jam sponge was so soft and delicious. Same with the Matilda cake. Young boy who served us was polite and displayed excellent customer service.”

“found about this place through freinds who highly praise this place i pop on to watch the cricket amazing shisha and dessert excellent customer service”

“Great little butty van. Friendly chaps with good banter. I had a bacon, sausage and egg breakfast sandwich and it was spot on. Can't fault it.”

“Excellent friendly welcome, the owner took our order. We had to wait for our starters which meant they were freshly prepared (the restaurant was quiet with it being during the week), some restaurants just warm up the starters but not here! We really enjoyed our starters. The main courses arrived & were excellent! Also desserts were good and we ate everything. My wife enjoyed her wine and I had an excellent ice cold pint of water!(I was driving). Top marks for everything here. They are very child friendly too. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the owner was too! We will be back!”

“Beautiful. Located in the quaint town of Uppermill, this chic cafe bar is a faithful spinoff of one of Uppermill’s best cafes, Caffe Grande Abaco. This cafe bar has a nice rustic and authentic atmosphere, like a traditional cafe bar you may find in Italy. Also, the staff are really friendly (10/10), especially Nigel (the owner), who was great to me. Plus, I went to Caffe Grande Abaco for 10 years, and it was quite emotional to meet Nigel, as I was always asking the staff at Caffe Grande Abaco, “Is the owner in?”. Now, back to Veloce! The cafe offers a variety of drinks, handpicked from CGA (at this point, I’m going to shorten it - Caffe Grande Abaco). So, you can have a nice latte or a cosy hot chocolate while you chill and warm up here. Surprisingly, it is also a deli, since they have charcuterie meats and cheeses, condiments, authentic Mediterranean pastries and biscuits, and even freshly baked bread (so authentic!). I tried Rogers Pistachio Cruffin (mix between a croissant and a muffin) which was crispy and flaky on the outside, but fluffy and indulgent on the inside, and the silky pistachio cream made it even better. Perfect for breakfast! They also do sandwiches here, with fresh sourdough and scrumptious meats and cheeses and even flaky sausage rolls. What I really want to mention, however, is the fact that they are supporting local businesses. Most things here (the pastries, products and even honey) are made by small businesses in towns near Uppermill, which is really nice as Veloce is helping out those businesses. Overall, this place is a must if you are looking for a proper Italian cafe bar, and some delicious food. It is also perfect if you want to buy some charcuterie meats and cheeses, as they have a wide variety of them. Only complaint is, Veloce really needs to bring in some Arancini, as I don’t see much Arancini in Saddleworth, and I’m very sad about that. If you want more reviews like this, make sure to follow The Wandering Chicken, so you don’t miss out on the best places to eat in Manchester, and even the world!”

“Found ourselves stuck outside the shop on a Sunday with a bust tire in 28c heat, this amazing lady opened up the shop just so we could get some cold drinks whilst we waited for recovery such a nice gesture goes a long way. Will definitely return to try the food! 10/10 customer service!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Friendly, quick service with a smile. Good cup of coffee. Had the coffee sat outside overlooking the lake. Very relaxing. Well worth checking out the café and park.”

“I had a good lunch here. The cheese and onion pie with gravy was very tasty. Highly recommend will certainly visit again. The food is good and portion sizes excellent. There is plenty of choice and it’s really good value. Service was efficient. The cafe itself has a lovely cozy atmosphere. A little gem in Oldham definitely worth a visit”

“Zena Bees Cafe is amazing food here is delicious. I had the big breakfast muffin omg it was tasty and filling. Well worth the money and visit here. The cafe is clean and service is outstanding.”

“Visited today, with my friend and my toddler. They didn’t have many options for kids but that’s fine as my son was more interested in a sausage roll from the bakery. The food me and my friend had though was absolutely delicious, really well made. The coffee was really good quality too, a really well made cup of coffee not burnt or too hot.”

“WHAT A FANTASTIC PLACE TO EAT! THE FOOD IS AMAZING AND THE VIBES ARE GREAT! MORE IMPORTANTLY THE STAFF ARE VERY WELCOMING, WITTY AND WARM! BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WITH GREAT HEARTS AND WILL CERTAINLY RETURNING! MAY A SWT PUT AMPLE BARAKAH IN THE BUSINESS AAAMEEN RIZ”

“Went for lunch the food was amazing. I will definitely be going again. Excellent value. Good service, staff friendly and helpful. There is an outdoor terrace to the front.”

“Salt and pepper chicken and rice box delicious”

“Fabulous Café. The owner's are very welcoming and helpful. Great atmosphere, relaxing and you'll have a giggle with owner's and customer's.”

“What we really like about going to this Costa is that most times we are there there it's not too busy. Tables are spaced out well so that they don't tend to feel claustrophobic. The music is not too heavy, so we are able to enjoy both it and conversation. Not always a great selection of foodstuffs. And, although you can use your Costa card to add points, you can't redeem them at this location (bit of a pain). Still, it has also thought about families with very young children in providing a few things to do. On the whole, it's not a bad place to visit if you don't mind paying the Costa prices!”

“Located on Elk Mill retail park relatively new building. Nice, bright and pleasant always clean and tidy. Normally quick service. Baristas very fast and friendly. All on one level with easy access for disabled/wheelchair users. Children's play area outside. Large free car park.”

“Very nice. I enjoyed tray with kunafa and choclolate sauce along with brownies , strawberries and baby size pancake. Was so yummy shared with husband but still their was enough to eat for another 3rd person. Quantity was alot. I would recommend to try it definetly.”

“So I was about to go to Sainsbury's cafe when I chanced upon this lovely little cafe. Pleasant place for a nice bite to eat. Only takes cash so make sure you have some on you. The price is reasonable and the staff are helpful.”

“Masha'allah very nice place, beautiful atmosphere and the food was even better! Sausages were slightly smaller than expected however overall 10/10 will come again. Thank you!”

“First time visiting, will definitely go again, highly recommend. Excellent customer service, great food and relaxing atmosphere, just the ticket, some cool tunes playing!”

“Greasy spoon..clean. Great food and low prices. Only started going in a few months ago. The staff are very nice and friendly.”

“It's been my favourite chippy for over 20 years I've tried every chippy around and found some good ones but always end up back at Great wall.”

“It was a quiet place, but it was a great breakfast place. I asked a lady to make it extra spicy, and she did. It's delicious and fresh cook. Homemade paratha, omelette and dhaal - it's tasty! We enjoy it - I like their karak coffee too! Decorate is cute, and it's giving vibes. Highly recommend!”
