Unique tea blends in Manchester

“A nice cafe at AMBS building. The coffee is tasty and inexpensive. The foods are delicious and their soups of the week are just unbeatable. I recommend chilled brew and soups.”

“A wonderful place for anyone who appreciates great drinks and a cozy atmosphere! Black Sheep Coffee always feels warm and inviting — the aroma of freshly brewed coffee instantly lifts your mood, and the stylish interior creates a perfect little escape in the middle of the city. The service here truly stands out — the staff treats every guest with genuine care and attention. A special thank you to Rishi. He’s incredibly friendly, polite, and a true professional! He helped me choose the right drink and explained all the options — thanks to him, I’m now enjoying a delicious hot chocolate. And with the Christmas atmosphere outside the window, it feels absolutely magical. Thank you, Rishi, for the amazing service and wonderful experience!”

“This place is amazing. Atmosphere is cultured and the outside area is the best in the summer, but also fantastic in the colder months. We ordered the Grande Plater but unfortunately it arrived with no sardines or cheese…”

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

“Came today with my partner and 2 children amazing food and even did something they don’t have on the menu. Very friendly service highly recommend.”

“Love this place, very relaxed atmosphere. Dogs welcome, little treats to buy on the counter so our little furry friends can join in. Good menu, sourdough toast, smashed avocado etc, pie selection and sweet treats also. Can eat outside or in.”

“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”

“I dined here for a special meal and it was fantastic. The building is cosy and very traditional decor making it feel very British and quiet luxury. The service was very quick and the food came out at reasonable intervals with no drawn out waiting. I had the steak and ale pie and chocolate fudge cake and wow it was wonderful. The pie filling was tender meat and lots of flavour and the pastry was lovely too. The mash and gravy and veg was perfect and had lots of flavour. The cake was like a better version of a school pudding and felt nostalgic. I was so happy overall it really is a little gem this place to eat. The atmosphere was quiet and warm and the outdoor area was filled with people enjoying drinks peacefully. Great car park too and away from main roads. Just overall fantastic and I can’t wait to return. The pie and cake was so good I feel I won’t end up trying other items because I quite literally could eat that every day!”

“I’ve tried Aroma a few times - the food is delicious, fresh and always served piping hot. I tried the tandoori mixed grill, garlic naan, biryani and chicken jalfrezi which were fresh and full of flavour. Portion sizes are always very generous too. Customer service is brilliant and the staff are friendly and always take time to listen to my order carefully. One of the best curries I’ve had and the price is decent too - why go anywhere else? Aroma Wilmslow is now my go to place when I want Indian food. Seriously give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!!!”

“Wonderful hidden gem! Friendly staff and a lovely latte. Spacious and nice views of the park.”

“Expensive but came here as had a nice atmosphere and wasn’t too busy. Plenty of choices on the menu and free water station. No complaints and would return for sure.”

“Great place to catch up over a coffee and cake staff very friendly and accommodating tables cleared constantly and area always kept wiped down. The toilets were also equally as clean and tidy.”

“Relaxed vibe and good music. The atmosphere is cosy, modern, and great for groups. Shisha flavours are varied and staff are friendly. Only downside was they asked for cash and would not take card payment!”

“Loved this place! The food was fresh and delicious, especially the Halim. Coffee was perfect, and the service was super friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot to start the day. Will definitely be back!”

“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.”

“One of the most unspoken things about any cafe is the level of service. Today I was served by Jodie. She was upbeat, smiling and an absolute example of how to show up to a customer. She may go through her day with no one mentioning it, but a smile is catching. Thanks Jodie. You never know when or who might need your lightheartedness. Oh and Nero’s … they do a delicious Vegan Raspberry croissant, which I highly recommend.”

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

“The Burger was pretty good, service was fast. And the Doughnuts are amazing. All in all worth the money.”

“Fantastic place with a really warm welcome. Great choice of food, which very good, and also a range of beers on draught, including some pretty decent real ales. I'm never get too annoyed if the train at Hartford is cancelled, well at least as long as the Coachman is open!”

“Service very good by Awais and the lady. Food wow! Partha was very good unexpectedly. Chaii is not bad home made tea. Portion of the food more than enough. Overall would recommend for breakfast for sure”

“My favorite breakfast spot in Manchester. Feels so authentic. Their English breakfast is deliciously flavorful and filling. If you want to give someone a traditional mancunian experience this is a great spot. Ps: many halal options!”

“Lovely store in Knutsford! Staff are extremely friendly, absolutely nothing too much to ask and quick at queue busting. There is a pretty wide selection of food for a coffee shop. I got a Mac and cheese (delicious!) And a small bag of brownies (also delicious). It's quite tucked away on the high street but a lovely stop for a drink and a snack!”

“Friendly staff, nice cakes, excellent breakfast barms and good prices. My new regular place whenever I'm in Oldham”

“Always friendly, professional and helpful. Clean, nice environment. Thanks to Borga, great Barista and makes lovely coffee!”

“A great place to meet others, excellent customer service. I was greeted by a friendly smile and didn't have to wait long for my Latte; found a quiet area by myself as I'd had a busy day so it was well worth it.”

“Noddy is the best. Incredible coffee artist and lovely human.”

“This store has beauI had a great time at this store. tiful shirts and hats.”

“Staff are soooo sweet and welcoming, really brightens up your day :) always fresh and great quality food/drinks. One thing I would prefer is to have an entrance/ exit right near Costa so I don't have to come in through the long way with Tesco's entrance to get in.”
