Reviews
Excellent food, service and pricing. Dog friendly and considerate of gluten free senza glutine...highly recommended. Wonderful espresso.
The vibe of the place was nice, however service was very slow- took 30 min for food to arrive and staff didn’t seem attentive or particularly friendly.
Had the Vegan Breakfast which was quite expensive for what it was, was way too salty and dry. Very disappointing, atleast the cappuccino was nice and there were lots of vegan options.
Nice location that was clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Had espresso and it has a similar roast to those in the area which isn’t my favorite. If this style of roast is for you this is a great location. Very good price on the espresso. Haven’t tried any of the food but looked like it could be good to try.
I am making my first Google review expressly to write this review. It was really that shocking.
The food was fine, bordering on good. But the service from one staff member was so offensive as to actually give us a few laughs.
The bathroom is absolutely foul, I think evidenced by that they haven't fixed the toilet for three weeks. Oscar Wilde couldn’t describe the stench. I can overlook the structural issues if not for the fact that the waitress practically caused an earthquake slamming down a pot of cutlery (she seemed irate by the very fact that we had asked for cutlery to begin with). It was the most passive aggressive service l've ever experienced, including in Paris.
For management: I can describe her in more detail but suffice to say she has a vaguely American international school accent and worked the till on 05/11.
Also, if you wait in the queue and get a table inside, there is no table service, so you will have to rejoin the queue of other people trying to find a table and being turned away before actually being able to order anything. I've never experienced such a system before.
Mediocre, passive aggressive, but absolutely hilarious.
10/10 for the inside jokes for those involved (or inflicted) with visiting this café.
Absolutely luv this cafe. Set in the heart of the Northern Quarter, with sanded orginal floorboards, great atmosphere and real Manchester feel. Service is top notch & food + drinks delicious. We are vegan and there are a good selection of vegan options. I recommend the avocado toast & chocolate brownie. I have decaf coffees & they are hard to find as tasty as a normal coffee - here they are beautiful esp with oat milk.
Cute cafe in Manchester, has nice vibes! My coffee was slightly bitter, but great with some sugar. They also sell some coffee and tea accessories.
Lovely little café, I really like all the wooden furniture in there.
Fast service and a good coffe
