Krave Coffee

the best english breakfast we had for a long time. each and every element on the plate deserves recognition 🙌  Good quality meat, sourdough bread and good portions.

Initially we were hesitant to come due to the little higher prices than usual but we’re definitely getting back soon.

I just popped in for a Latte and ending up buying a crunch chicken burger as well.
Have say it was gorgeous! I really enjoyed it. It came with a side salad and coleslaw and it was just the nicest burger ive eaten in a long, long time.
Service was fantastic, didn't wait longnand the food was fresh and hot.
10/10 cant wait to come back.

Krave Coffee is a lovely cafe in Whitefield with plenty of free parking outside. The staff are all cheery and polite and the food is well cooked and neatly presented on your plate.

Theres no step at the door and a ramp inside so easy walking for older customers and easy access  for wheel & push chairs.

We both had the small english and I swapped out those nasty mushrooms and tomatoes (my own taste I just dont like them) for another Grandads Sausage. The Americano was spot on and I would go back here just for another cuppa probably have some cake as well.

Lunch menus when I asked are only served on weekdays.

The seating inside is very comfortable, and theres also tables and chairs outside. A disabled toiket is also located at the back.

First of all the coffee is to die for!! I drive 15 mins a day to get a Latte from Krave as it’s better than any other coffee I have tasted. The food is AMAZING not just during the day they have opened an After Dark menu on Friday and Saturday nights where they sell burgers, chicken wings, loaded fries, combo boxes as well as serving alcohol!!
Would deffo recommend!!

This place was good, it’s quite relaxed. Staff are friendly and the food was nice! The breakfast pancakes were great value - although there’s no ‘table ordering’ / reservation system, so if you take a table and go order separately, the queue can be randomly long - then your food comes at very different times.

Fress Restaurant & Bar

Absolutely LOVELY spot for brunch!!!
Friendly staff, they were trying new Matcha menu and told me if I didn’t like it they would refund!
Turned out it was one of the BEAR iced flavoured matcha I’ve ever had!
I order the benoffee matcha!

Now, the main course, Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast, BEST FRENCH TOAST I’ve ever had!
Everything combined well, soft toasts, fresh banana, whipped cream, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, PERFECTION!

BONUS, they are offering 25% OFF if you scan the code to get their digital card!!!!!!!!

So this place was def built for instagram, very specific decor, very clean but that’s definitely no crime.
We went at a not too busy time, we were seated right away, handed menus immediately upon sitting down but after 10 min had to go get the waiter to take order. The food came very quickly after that and was well presented and well cooked (see pictures).

I really enjoy Fress every time I go, the food is always top notch and to the best standard. I tried the Steak and eggs today and my friend had the Philly cheesesteak wrap. Both dishes were excellent and wonderfully tasty. The menu is great and offers such a fantastic range of options and each dish doesn’t disappoint. The decor and style of the place is really nice, making for a wonderful breakfast, brunch or lunch experience . Love this place and will return many more times!

Lovely boutique brunch spot with speedy, attentive service. The food came out quickly and was still really good, though I do wish the eggs were cooked better ( they were burnt at the bottom ). I would’ve spoken up and probably got it sorted, but I was limited for time. I also appreciated that they had halal options while still catering to customers who eat pork. Overall, a nice place to eat and catch up with friends/dates etc.

Fress is one of my favourite brunch spots in Manchester! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavour and beautifully presented. I went for the steak and eggs hash and they were delicious. The place has a great vibe and the staff were amazing and super friendly too big shout out to Rubel. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu!

All our chicken, steak and beef burgers are halal.

Brunchville

Really delicious food, nice atmosphere inside and convenient car park right outside (paid mon-sat). Only thing is that it’s stairs to go up - couldn’t see any lift access, but I didn’t ask so there might be!

We had the brunchville and berry French toast - both were delicious. Fairly priced and the drinks also are great. Highly recommend

Fantastic food and warm, attentive service from the Bengali staff.

I had the Benglish breakfast, which was a brilliant fusion twist on the classic English breakfast. The French toast was fluffy and delicious, definitely a highlight. The chai latte was decent—more cinnamon than chai, but still enjoyable. Easy parking outside too.

Highly recommend!

Warm welcoming family run breakfast spot which never fails to please. Our regular Sunday outing. Our favourite things to order are the Benglish and the Lotus French toast. We travel from Bolton specially and have recommended to family and friends. Parking available (free on Sundays).

Came for brunch after seeing the place on Instagram. I had a veggie breakfast and coffee. My son opted for French toast with just chocolate sauce. French toast could have toasted more. Overall food was average but filling.  The decor was nice.

French toast was one of the best we had. Love the mascarpone touch.English breakfast was really nice and hot. All tasty. Just the egg was burnt at the bottom and too runny at the top - had it redone but they only put the same one back and just cooked the top part of egg. However rest of the food was good.

£9.50 - Full English
£7.50 - French toast

Essys Manchester

Was probably the best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time. Staff were friendly and food was amazing and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back and highly recommend.

My first time purchasing a halal sunday roast. The food was very nice. For me the chicken was slightly in the dry side. I would definitely return and also have the chicken again. Well after I try the other offerings.

We were staying at travelodge central and was bored of the usual breakfast there so decided to go for a walk and so happened passed by this cafe. What a gem! Friendly staff quick service. Good atmosphere. Really enjoyed breakfast. the royale smoked salmon paoched eggs on sourdough with avo salad drizzle of spicy mayo plus the homemade creamy sauce that came with it (served in tiny cup) tasty on my palate. Highly recommended. Will visit again when I’m in Manchester.

So I have a breakfast here every week. Perfect. Get a Sunday dinner delivered every Sunday. The food is perfect. The delivery of the food is consistently terrible it just comes as an absolute mess pretty much every week. The gravy tubs are empty and the contents spilled all over the bag. The paper tray had come open yet again this week and I had to scoop my dinner out of a soggy plastic bag. I guarantee it didn’t leave the shop in that condition and I believe they complain about it to just eat / uber eats. But maybe it’s time to rethink the packaging to stand up to the rigours of travelling across Manchester on the back of a bicycle because it’s not on receiving your dinner that you’ve spent 40-60 a week on.

Eggs rotate were perfect!

I asked for a gluten free option and was offered gluten free bread. I ended up having no bread and the meal was lovely but good to know there is the choice

Tutku Cafe

Excellent place with a nice atmosphere, very good, swift service (lunchtime on a Saturday), reasonably priced,  and as expected for a Turkish restaurant, tasty and fresh.
Can't wait to go back.
Update 30/6/25: covered terrasse with optional opening windows and long benches, provide a different atmosphere and a slightly cooler environment in the few very hot days we can get in the summer.  Very appreciated

Couldn’t fault our visit here. A cosy busy spot great for families. The atmosphere is lovely and the outdoor seating is perfect when the weathers good.
The food was also on point. Portions are massive and at amazing value. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it was surprisingly very good!
Will happily come again.

Great food and ambiance. The only reason to give 3 stars was its cash only. It caused many issues to us, considering we were tourists and solely relied on credit cards since its been accepted everywhere.

Recently visited this cafe and discovered that this is the place for breakfast lovers. They've got a nice variety on their menu and the service was top including the staff.
The food was great, the scrambled eggs were a little well done but that's not a big one. Overall had a good time.

Excellent customer service, very helpful staff. Some of the best service I've ever had. Food was good and served quickly. Would recommend the sandwich with sausage and halloumi, was very filling. The serving sizes were generous. Overall great place for brunch!

Ask a member of staff about our Halal options.

Caramello Cafes Ltd

Very honest and forthcoming regarding the expected wait time when we got there, appreciate the truth rather than just telling us "oh it'll only be 5 minutes".

We had children with us and they liked sherry then really well with colouring in activities.

General service, and the food, absolutely spot on!! Friendly staff. The presentation and the quality of food (both in terms of actual quality, and taste) left nothing to be desired.

Will definitely be returning, thank you for an enjoyable experience.

I ordered via deliveroo and I was very impressed with the food!
I ordered a steak sandwich which I highly recommend, it was beautiful 😍

The full English was very good too- the sausages were herbed chicken sausages which i wasn’t a big fan of but it was cooked perfectly. I would have just pref plain chicken sausages  😅

I must also comment on how the food is well packaged too! Especially the drinks. No body wants a spilled drink for breakfast 🤪

Finally- a local business that does not support gen#cide always gets a 10/10 from me. Thank you ❤️

Very Disappointed After Years of Loyalty
We’ve been loyal customers of this café for over two years, travelling all the way from Bradford just to enjoy breakfast here. Despite the long drive and often waiting 45 minutes to an hour outside, we never minded — the food and experience were always worth it.

However, our recent visit left us very disappointed. I ordered the smashed avocado toast, which is priced at £12 — not cheap, but we've always been happy to pay for the quality we've received in the past. Unfortunately, this time was completely different.

The portion was shockingly small: one very thin slice of toast with a minimal amount of avocado barely spread across it, a tiny egg, and a few cherry tomatoes. It looked nothing like what we’ve been served before. The hummus — which is listed on the menu — was less than a teaspoon and spread thinly on the plate. There was no salad or garnish, which was usually part of the dish. Presentation was poor and it felt like a rushed job with no attention to detail.

I raised my concerns with the waiter and asked whether the portion sizes had been reduced. His explanation didn’t make much sense, and when I asked if he thought it was fair to charge £12 for what I received, he had no answer and said he would speak to the manager.

The scrambled egg I requested was undercooked and had to be sent back. Overall, it felt like the kitchen was just rushing food out without care or consistency.

The manager did offer us a small discount on the final bill, which we appreciated — but even after that, we still paid £25 for two very bare minimum breakfasts.

This visit was a huge letdown. We’ve always loved this café, but based on this experience, we’ve decided we won’t be returning. It's incredibly disappointing to see such a drop in quality and value.

Went here because we wanted a luxurious sweet brunch. We arrived around 12pm on a Thursday and there were no seats upstairs so we were sat in quite a dark corner downstairs beside the kitchen. The coffee was outstanding the mocha was really nice and chocolatey and the cappuccino was delicious. The food was good but I ordered the Shakshouka and it was very dry, there was no tomato sauce to dip the sourdough into and it was mostly just large chunks of relatively undercooked pepper. The poached egg in the middle was also rock solid which I have attached a photo of. The chicken sausages delivered however and seemed high quality. The French toasts were absolutely delicious, but be prepared for sugar overload, the toppings are extremely sweet but the toast itself is also really heavy in sugar. I felt like there could have been more of a balance by making the French toast a little less sweet, it was hard to finish the whole plate. We had one child with us who just wanted plain toasted bread which the restaurant did not have any left, and she didn't like the sourdough so it was a bit of a shame. Quite early to be calling an 86 on an essential item of a breakfast spot!

I’ve been coming here for years, but had the steak and avocado for the first time earlier this week, it was so good I came back today to have it again!

The steak was cooked to perfection, and the avocado added such a fresh, zesty, creamy touch—absolutely delicious.

Chai Latte

Such a lovely place with great food and hot drinks.  I had to try the ‘chai latte’ and it was delicious!
Ended up coming back in the afternoon for another one! The cheese sandwich with Cajun chicken hit the spot.  Would recommend to all.  The staff are very friendly and accommodating

The best full English I’ve ever had. Not many halal spots that do 10/10 breakfast, but this is definitely up there. I would have taken a pic but I was so in awe that I only remembered after I finished. What beautiful waitresses and service

It’s just such a sub par restaurant, looks very nice from the outside but very shabby on the inside. All the leather chairs are heavily peeling. Does not feel comfortable. The food was just so mediocre it encroached on being properly bad. The full English is over priced like crazy for what they were offering. The eggs used were so yellow it was off putting. I will say the French toast was nice but the slices look like they were on a diet. The drinks we ordered came out lukewarm at best and was cold before we finish the food aswell. I will add the servers did seem lovely and were quite helpful however it is quite odd we had to leave our table and go to the till to order our food?

The hot & spicy chicken burger I had was very flavorful and crispy giving it the perfect burger texture alongside the very nicely seasoned potato wedges complimenting the burger! Loved the portion size and it is guaranteed to keep you full for hours. The strawberry milkshake was very delicious on top of the great food. Place has very nice decoration giving it a home environment especially as the food is halal.

Everything tasted average and lacked flavour. It wasn't bad, but I've definitely had much better brunch elsewhere.

Everything on our menu is Halal. We don't have anything on the premises that isn't. Feel free to contact us if you need any further information.

@halalgems's review of Evelyn's Northern Quarter on Instagram

Evelyn's

This place was just amazing absolutely loved all the interior deco it was 10/10 further more the food and breveages were also 10/10 rhe atmosphere was 10/10... we had to wait a while for a table as it was so busy but I can totally understand why! The wait was absolutely worth it! What topped it for me was the staff they were absolutely amazing, friendly, polite and funny! 100/10

Thank you guys i will definelty be back! 🥰

I stopped by Evelyn's in Manchester for breakfast and was really glad I did. The space itself feels bright and welcoming, with lots of natural light, green plants dotted around, and simple wooden furniture that gives it a warm, easy-going vibe.
The menu has a good range of breakfast options, and the dishes that came out were nicely presented - you can tell they put some care into how things look as well as taste. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy your food, and not feel rushed. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, making it a lovely spot to start the day.

Would happily return when I'm next in the area.

Favourite place to eat in Manchester!

I come here a lot already for both brunch and dinner occasions, so it was my natural first choice when looking for a spot for 15 of us to dine at for our special occasion.

As usual, both the food and the service were absolutely exceptional:

FOOD
We had the group dining menu with a selection of dips and (to die for) homemade pittas to start, then a variety of small plates to follow. For small plates, the portion sizes were great and we were absolutely stuffed by the end - notable faves were the babaghanoush, the skate, the hispi cabbage, and the chocolate dessert drizzled with olive oil.
We also had a member of our group with coeliac disease, so we were delighted to find out almost every item on the menu was gluten free or had a gf alternative.

SERVICE
Leading up to the booking Ines and Callum were fantastic at communicating with us and answering any questions we had about the dinner.
On the night we were served by Kai and Tom who went above and beyond to ensure we had a gorgeous evening. The team were so accommodating including total clarity and care around our dietary requirements and allergen flags, taking care of details to simplify payment for such a large group, and all round bringing warmth and friendliness to make our night so special. Also a special kudos to the chefs and bar staff making such incredible food and delicious cocktails/mocktails. We can't thank you all enough.

We couldn't fault it, and are so grateful for the team for all of the effort and care to ensure we had the best time. We'll definitely be back asap!

Family of 5, had an amazing Saturday brunch here. The extractor fan was broken when we arrived, so a little smokey, but staff were so good and accommodating even with this going on!!
All the food was amazing and there was a really good choice for all. Have to say I tried a bit of the waffle and it was incredible, so light and delicious.
Would highly recommend a visit here.

Went here on a Saturday, bit of a queue so had to wait around 15 minutes to be seated but it was worth the wait.  Staff were very informative to everyone in the queue politely managing expectations.

Once seated service was quick and efficient.  The food was fresh and definitely worth the short wait.

Staff are really nice here and do a great job of creating a warm welcoming environment.

Will definitely go back when I am next in Manchester.

Delhi House Cafe

What an amazing place this is! Firstly, all of the staff are brilliant. They are patient and helped my group to make food choices.

The food is so nice, it is genuinely the best Indian food I've had. Everything we had was great quality and so flavoursome.

Drinks wise we had cocktails and these were interesting twists on classics. I definitely recommend the Bomb Pattaka.

Will definitely be back!

We have been a couple of times to Delhi House Cafe as the food is delicious. We started by having mutton tacos and the meat was tender and flavoursome. Next we had Chicken Seekh Kebabs which was also tasty.
Lamb Biryani with Raita was amazing too!! For dessert we shared a gajar halwa as I have a sweet tooth this was my favourite dish.
The staff were so welcoming and friendly.
I would recommend Delhi House Cafe if you like Indian food.

Absolutely the best Indian food I’ve had in the UK! Having tried countless Indian restaurants, Delhi House Café in Manchester is definitely up there at the very top. The flavors were authentic yet unique, every dish packed with taste and beautifully presented.

A special shoutout to Greta, who took such wonderful care of us. Warm, friendly, and so attentive throughout our meal. She made the whole experience even better.

I’ll definitely be coming back here again, and I really hope you guys open a branch in London soon, because I’d be your regular!

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Special mention to Beryl who took care of us during our lunch time visit. We were late for our train and wanted to grab a quick lunch so we requested that the food came out quick. They were very accommodating and attentive to our needs and requests.

Food was out in super fast time -15-20 mins max with all starters and main course together as requested. The food was so yummy that we wanted to have another paratha but we were afraid that it would take some more time. However the staff ensured that it was delivered in 2 mins.

Overall, was an excellent visit and many thanks to the staff and Beryl who made sure we enjoyed our lunch without having to miss our train

Absolutely stunning!!!! The place is beautiful-and decor is fabulous , our waitress Kenzi was amazing !! I can’t stress how flavourful the food was! We will be going back in the evening 🫶🏾🙌🏾

MyLahore Manchester

Went here for lunch. I think it may now be our favourite place in Manchester! So many options on the menu, all of which are fantastic! Great fresh ingredients making fabulous dishes!

We were served by Daina who was delightful and very helpful.

The desserts are immense too.

If you're looking for lunch time or evening meal, you will definitely enjoy MyLahore!

Had an amazing experience dining at this restaurant in Lahore! The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavour, freshly made, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a treat!

We accidentally ordered the wrong dish, but the manager handled the situation with such ease and professionalism – without any fuss, they happily replaced it for us. That kind of customer service is rare and truly appreciated.

A special shoutout to our waiter, Javeria, who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our meal. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of from start to finish.

Brilliant food. I should not have asked for an extra spicy curry because this place didn’t mess around (very nice though).

Considering it was fairly busy and on a Saturday evening, we were served everything relatively quickly.

Javeria is a lovely girl and made sure everything was great.

We were welcomed with a beautiful music and service. Our server Hussnain, welcomed us with a freshing smile and excellent service. Our food arrived within 15 minutes, the food was amazinf as always and Hussnain checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything else. Excellent service all the way, compliments to the chef!!

Having visited My Lahore in Bradford during a work trip from Ireland a few years ago, Id promised my wife that we would visit again when we came back to the North of England. Well I finally got around to keeping my promise and we weren't disappointed. Everything from the welcome to there to the the food and even the decor was wonderful. Our server was Daina and she was so friendly and chatty she made us feel so welcome. Daina was assisted by young girl who was only on her second day but she was also excellent. Then there's the food, perfectly prepared and wonderfully presented, it was heaven. An absolute 10 outta 10 from us and just wish we lived closer and could visit more often but we will be back.

MyLahore

Bread and Butter

Honestly every time I’ve been the service has been amazing, delicious and fast! I was first introduced by my mum to this yummy spot and now me an my friends always come after a day at college. The owners are really welcoming and friendly and have even kept it open after closing time for me and my friends since we were really hungry and craving their food!  I’m always recieiving drinks on the house and good customer service which just gives that icing on the cake! I wish them all the success!

Been meaning to give this place a try.

Went the other week with the family.

Food was excellent.
Service was amazing.

Best brunch place.
The customer service here is immaculate with the food standards being so high that I forgot to take a picture before I started eating it was that good.

Top place you guys have to give to give it a go

Delicious food with hearty portions and great service. The lasagne and Ella’s French toast are must-tries. I hope they stayed open later for a post-work drink or a late lunch pickup.

Small cosy breakfast and brunch stop with very good value range of menu items catering to multiple dietary (halal and vegetarian) needs that are good portion sizes.

The staff are friendly and attentive.

We went as two adults and three children (1 teen and two younger ones) and felt very well catered for and we would definitely visit again.

Bloom Coffee Co.

Stopped by for coffee and brunch.
The coffee ordered was EXCELLENT lovely strong and flavoursome although it was served on the cold side being my only grip.
The food we had was well presented and tasted good.
The cafe itself is a bit shall I say rustic? As the chairs are all mismatched and some are like old school chairs.
The service was friendly and drinks arrived in a good time frame but the food we ordered did seem to take a while but it is to be expected when busy or customised orders are placed.
Give it a go if you're near by, I'd definitely go back for the coffee alone.

Fabulous food and coffee.

We were well looked after by the staff and there is seating on two levels.

Highly recommend the Turkish eggs.

Staff welcoming. Quiet.  I came in for breakfast. I had the salmon, I think it was called thr CAL bowl. Salmon was discoloured, and spoiled. Should not have been served. Avocado was very cold and also not fresh.  Poached eggs were great but for the price of 10.50 thats all I could eat from this option. Would not recommend and will be giving feedback to the staff and hopefully this can be rectified as it is a lovely place. Staff were very apologetic and advised they would hand this over to the kitchen staff. They also offered to pay only for my coffee. Thank you ladies

Popped into this cute coffee house for a light brunch, the coffee was so good I ordered 2!! The Cinnamon Apple Crumble Brioche with cinnamon mascarpone was to die for, I’d recommend anything from their extensive brunch menu , but this has to be tasted to be believed 😀

Bru’d Awakenin’s

Absolutely superb, high quality ingredients used for everything

The cortado was delicious , and the smoked salmon bagel spot on

Lovely ambience and great service

The town should come out and support small businesses like this, people who are really making a difference.

Fantastic customer care, price and service from the team. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here meeting a friend for a catch up. Will definitely return and kudos on the business for expanding for more customers. Looking forward to returning soon. Thanks again !

I’ve been twice! It’s lovely for a catch up for a couple of friends! It’s a bar too but I’ve only been in the day for hot drinks.

Lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Went for breakfast, the food was lovely & beautifully presented; can highly recommend the cinnamon toast! Looking forward to our next visit already.

First time eating here, was bit gutted they don't do a full English or eggs, so ordered bacon on sourdough bread, there was plenty of bacon on it as well and really tasty

Also ordered a latte, came with with water and a biscoff for the sandwich

Staff were really friendly and good service

Cafe Sanjuan

Super tasty Colombian breakfast with delicious spicy sausage eggs plantin/ guac and beans. Friendly helpful staff and lively atmosphere. If you want a solid breakfast with a twist; deffo recommend!

Amazing Colombian food hidden gem in the centre of Stockport.
We booked a table here as it can get very busy and with the quality of the food it's easy to see why.
It was one of the first sunny days of spring when we went and the sun was blazing outside and we were feeling the holiday vibes as we were in South America for real.
Cumbia and Latino music in the background inside gave us that Sonic feel to compliment the amazing food.
Staff are really friendly and passionate about Columbian food and coffee.
They also sell their own roasted coffee by the bag.

A very unassuming looking place which has great food and a nice atmosphere. The brunch we had was freshly cooked and well presented and was great value. I highly recommend this little taste of Colombia.

My daughter holidayed in Colombia earlier this year and recommended this basic daytime cafe run by a lovely Colombian lady. Casta says it is authentic Latin American food. A South American greasy spoon no less! No alcohol. Enjoyed the reasonably priced food.

I arrived at Café Sanjuan and looked at the coffee set up and felt reassured. This was going to be a great experience. I was not wrong.

I got chatting with the proprietor about his coffee, extraction times, weights, techniques, equipment, and we connected as kindred spirits. I ordered an espresso which was beautifully complex, just a touch of perfect bitterness, with a body that led to an experience akin to a fine whiskey or wine. I couldn’t leave without buying some beans, and given I also enjoy a longer coffee in the morning with a dripper, he gave me a bag of coffee in the picture. What a beautiful coffee. Fruity, light, and an experience that is long-lasting. When I had my first cup, I found myself enjoying and thinking about it for hours later!

This coffee establishment is highly recommended, and the proprietor and barista are masters. Next time I’m going for breakfast, I’m going to take my time and savour the experience.

Corner & Bloom

Really lovely, relaxed atmosphere with pretty decor. Staff were unobtrusive, friendly and attentive. The food was immense! Large portions, fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Thanks for a really delicious meal.

I ordered a Turkish eggs, which came with yogurt feta chilli oil, two poached eggs and sourdough bread. I feel like it was missing some seasoning to make it a traditional Turkish eggs, but maybe it was there take on it.
I also ordered a dark chocolate hot chocolate that I wasn’t a fan of. The chocolate sunk to the bottom even when stirring so you mostly got milk then intense chocolate.

It was very busy so clearly the locals are a fan, however this did mean a long wait and that it was quite a hard time flagging down the waitstaff. I think they may need one more person during their busier periods. It was also very loud and quite difficult to hear in the small cafe, I think they would benefit from some sound absorbers.

I liked the vibes of this place and would be up for coming back to try their lunch or dinner menu.

I've been here a few times. Great coffee and always delicious food. Enjoyed the smashed avo and more recently the French toast woth white choc and berries. Staff are always friendly and attentive.

It’s always wonderful to see how busy this place gets on weekends, so with a rare mid-week day off, I seized the opportunity to visit!

I ordered the French toast with fresh berries, drizzled with white chocolate, and it was an absolute treat. Paired with a perfectly made cappuccino, it was exactly what I needed.

The service was friendly and attentive, which, sadly, isn’t something you find in every café these days.

I think people often forget that family-run businesses are exactly that—run by families! They thrive on patience, appreciation, and community support. Now more than ever, local independents need us to show up for them. If you’re looking for food made with care and served with a smile, this is the place to be.

Much love to the owners—your café always puts a smile on my face. I hope this review does the same for you and your staff! 😊

I pop in this morning on my way to meet a friend & was very well looked after.

Great little venue with a great atmosphere, excellent coffee & very friendly, warm & welcoming service from the team.

Definatley worth a re-visit

5 stars al the way

Earthlings

Great selection of food and great service.  As it was sunny was able to sit outside and enjoy the weather.
My wife and I got the maple tempeh sandwich but I upgraded to the foccacia (they also sell the foccacia, so if you go grab some for home ) great taste and a good size.

I had the cheesecake and my wife had the cup and a cake which was spong. With again delicious.  Highly recommended

Excellent food, delicate and full of flavour. Their vegan cheese cake is wow! Calm atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. Hidden gem!

Lovely breakfast, I had a bagel with peanut butter & banana which also had granola, seeds & maple syrup - it was delicious.  As was the charcoal & rose latte.  The place itself is very cosy and beautifully decorated. It's dog friendly.   Service was great and the menu was excellent also with a good specials board.  There is an excellent selection of teas and coffees.  Will definitely go again.

I have eaten at many places and above all the fancy restaurants. This is truly my favourite place to eat. Not because it's vegan (Being a vegetarian for 25+ years). But simply that the food is fantastic and you can tell that it's a passion project. It shows through with each dish they serve. Too many places try to have what Earthlings has in abundance, a heart and soul.

Quick stop for brunch and as amazing as ever! Food to die for and dog friendly!

Visited today for a Sunday lunch. We booked ahead for 5 of us, one being a wheelchair user and the other a toddler. Even though it is on the smaller side they accommodated for us very well. Great atmosphere, staff very friendly. Great choice of food and everything felt very good quality.

One downside is the slightly higher cost - but I think this is justified given they don’t use refined sugar. I don’t think they charge a penny more than they should, it’s just it may be a surprise for some coming for the first time.

Will definitely return. We aren’t local unfortunately, but happy to travel for this. Would be regulars if we lived in Bolton.

Ezra & Gil

We went to Ezra and Gils for our son’s 1st bday breakfast and it was AWESOME! Kat helped us to the table and was really really nice. She recommended some things on the menu(everything was great) and even took a Polaroid of us 🥰 Highly recommend for the service and the quality as well!

Great place for breakfast! Really friendly staff/helpful staff, loved they asked about allergies cause I have a nut allergy. Eggs benny was delicious! I do wish my large cappuccino was stronger, only one shot of espresso so it was a bit weak :(

Always a bustling place this, really nice staff and food with a good selection of all day breakfasts and lunches. Dog friendly too, so we'll be back soon with our doggy. Wait for a table was expected to be 20 minutes, but we waited barely 10 because they were so efficient. Shame we'll miss the August specials. The food and the coffee was awesome!!

I had the June special toast. Pulled pork Benedict. It's very filling and delicious. Definitely would recommend it if you're visiting in June. I found it to be a little on the pricier side, but it was worth it. The place itself is really nice, spacious, and cosy. Also great service!

Visited today after an overnight stay in Manchester to see a concert. Took 3 young children with us. We were warmly welcomed and accommodated, despite having 2 prams! The food was delicious and the coffee was great too. I had the veggie breakfast with extra halloumi - everything was tasty and well presented. The service was excellent. It's a little on the pricier side, but this is to be expected given its location and quality of food and drinks. Would definitely visit again and would recommend.

CHA-OLOGYお茶とお菓子 (RESERVATION ONLY)

I have been following Cha-ology since they first opened and finally made it today! We had the Aki menu and it was amazing. The love and care put into the sweets and tea by the farmers, craftspeople and of course the lovely staff in the tea house is evident.

The space is beautiful and all of the teaware handmade in Japan by different artists. I was in awe of everything!

I want to comment briefly on some of the negative reviews. We attended the silent tea time, and I was a little nervous to not offend or get things wrong. Fortunately we were made so welcome and the whole experience was so relaxing. For me, it was clear that the rules are in place to make sure that the tea is the focus of the experience.

Thank you so much for an incredible experience and for the beautiful keepsake menu and momiji leaves.

I have never had an experience quite like the one I had here. Everything was very special from start to finish.

Visited with a friend who is a regular and wasn't completely sure what to expect but knew I was in for a interesting journey. We had the winter tea course which had a variety of different teas (both hot and cold) and various delightful wagashi.

I can now see why my friend loves this place so much and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. I recommend the seasonal tea courses for the full experience but I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you select.

If you are after a peaceful atmosphere where you enjoy expertly prepared Japanese tea for nearly 2 hours, this is your place.

I have only ordered online and sadly not had the opportunity to visit the physical store - however their online service is impeccable. With matcha in demand it's understandable delays may happen - and this is absolutely communicated to the buyer if this does happen. When the tea arrives it's carefully boxed as they clearly understand the importance of the product arriving in good condition. The notes are always very welcome and I'm happy to give repeat custom to ensure I'm not only getting high quality product, but also supporting a small business!

This experience was amazing!! I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday and he was so happy. We booked the casual tea time. The staff are lovely and talk through all teas and snacks in such detail, it’s amazing how they remember so much and are so knowledgable. The atmosphere is very calming  and I have never experienced tea quite like it. We left feeling very calm and chilled out and wanting to experience it again! We also bought some chocolate. If you’re thinking of going then you should!! It’s well worth the money and a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank you Cha-ology!! 

Just ‘wow’. What an amazing experience from the moment you walk in; it’s hard to imagine somewhere so peaceful in the city centre.

Our booking was their ‘quiet’ tea service. The servers took our coats and throughly explained all the options available before seating us at one of the tables.

I can’t believe how good the tea was! I enjoy a lot of teas of different varieties at home, but this stuff blew us both away. Some teas like the hojicha had an almost tropical flavour, other teas were savoury in a way I didn’t know tea could be.

The snacks/food were also excellent, and surprisingly filling! Definitely recommend the sakura mochi!

Our service lasted around 2 hours. The server’s timing was excellent even though my wife and I were having two different menu options. Each tea/dish came with a card with some information and a QR link to further reading. Given the small maximum capacity of the establishment, it felt very intimate and personal. Given all of this, I’d say you definitely get your money’s worth.

I couldn’t leave this review without commenting on some of the negative ones I see here; reading some of them initially left us feeling a little nervous about booking. However, our experience could not have been better, the staff were amazingly friendly and clearly very very passionate about the tea and food they serve. We had no issues taking photos of our food and drinks (following their guidance on photos and phone usage).

If you’re feeling nervous about booking like we were, I’d honestly not worry and just book it. Respect their requests (which they politely remind you of upon booking and upon entry) and just enjoy the vibe.

P.S. When we booked online by their site was down, but they responded to our email literally within minutes to help us book.

Coffee Lab Withington

Came here on the weekend and had a few coffees and cakes. For a chain coffee place this is really nice. Coffee choice of 4 beans is nice to have. Pastries were good and cakes nice too. Definitely would recommend coming here. Staff very friendly and welcoming too. Clean place definitely would come back.

I had the pleasure of trying traditional Fredo espresso  here, and it was incredible. Rich, strong, and perfectly brewed with — every sip felt authentic and comforting. The aroma alone was enough to wake me up, and the taste was smooth with just the right touch of bitterness. It’s the kind of coffee you want to take your time with and truly enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality and tradition in their coffee!

Coffee Lab is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers! The atmosphere is inviting, and everything feels fresh and vibrant. The staff is attentive and takes great care of the customers, ensuring a pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the place is impressive, making it a comfortable environment to enjoy your drink. Whether you’re there for a quick coffee or to relax, Coffee Lab delivers a perfect experience every time!

What a lovely clean cafe, you really have to experience what they have to offer. I really those who gave given negative reviews to really get a life and just drink great coffee in cool cafe. They evn offer free water from a water machine. The cafe offer coffee with different flavours. Really enjoyed my visit

Could become my new coffee shop of choice when I move to Manchester. Great service, helpful to select the right coffee bean to start my day. Looking forward to trying the others in the coming months and getting to know the staff.

Lahori Chai Shai

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I visited Lahori Chai Shai with my dad and we were both really impressed. We ordered the ghost handi with paratha, aloo paratha, and a matka chicken biryani, finishing off with two karak chais. Everything was fresh, made to order, and tasted just like home-cooked food — full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The owner was very friendly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Prices were very affordable, especially considering the quality and portions. Easily a 5/5 experience — highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic desi food in Manchester!

My friend Paul and myself visited the Cafe for the first time. We were leaving for London later so we needed a nice breakfast.

I had Aloo Parantha with a Masala Chai.
The food and hot drink was lovely .
My friend Paul had Masala Omlette breakfast with chick peas.
Paul said it was delicious.

We also had a hot plate of Halva which was so tasty .

The atmosphere was really nice . The decor was beautiful.
The service was brilliant .

Would go here a Thousand times again.

Overall, a great experience with the authentic taste of Pakistani food. The place is usually quite busy, so it's best to plan your visit accordingly. They accept both cash and card payments. My personal favourite is their special tea, "Matka Chai"—highly recommended! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the pleasant atmosphere.

Let me know if you'd like it to sound more casual, professional, or humorous!

We wanted to get nihari but that was unavailable so we decided to go with saag. Saag was okay but the parathas were burnt from one side and the roti was also a bit hard to chew. Overall service could have been better.

Lovely place, nice food, good customer service, can't complain, parking is slightly issue.

Federal Cafe Bar

visited Federal Cafe Bar on Saturday morning, and it was the best way to start my day. They serve a wonderful breakfast, great coffee, and the warmest smiles.
Special thanks to all the staff – it was a real pleasure meeting Harry with his beautiful smile.
The place is super cozy. I ordered a large cappuccino and their special French toast – both were amazing.
Thank you so much! ♥️

Josh and the entire team were fabulous. It doesn’t just stop there, this was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had (world wide).

Oh and the coffee was sensational. I cannot find fault. This place is a god send!

Turkish eggs were heavenly! Had to come back again the next day. Would travel 3 hours from Glasgow again just for this place!! Solid coffee and matcha. Not to mention the absolutely lovely staff who made both our mornings, especially Josh !

First time coming and honestly, it was incredible! No wonder people rave about Federal and queue up for it, food was incredible, best French toast I’ve had in a long time, atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. We had a lovely, bubbly waitress Ella, who was just so smiley and had a lovely warmth to her which made the experience even better!

Visited Federal for the 1st time and really enjoyed it. I was lucky and got a table almost straight away. The french toast is definitely the star of the show.
I also had eggs benedict with haloumni and although they were good, personally I think the hollandaise sauce should be a bit more and also the bread was a it hard. My eggs also were slightly overcooked and not really runny, however everything still tasted very good. I also had the bramble smoothie that was quite good
The french toast was absolutely amazing and one of the best I have eaten so far.
The staff are quite nice and attentive and they asked how was the meal throughout the service
There is a 10%service charge automatically added to your bill when you order through the app.
Overall I really enjoyed the experience and definitely will be back (just maybe next time I will order a diferent savory option as was not majorly keen on the eggs benedict,  as although they were very good didn't find it memorable). The french toast was spot on

Foundation Coffee House

It was a very enjoyable atmosphere music and not too loud to have a catch up with my friend and the potato hash with halloumi spinach tomatoes and spices were really nice and well balanced. Also paired with an Americano from Peruvian beans were really tasty. Would highly recommend this space as it seems good for working too.

We stayed till the coffee shop closing time and we were gifted a croissant and a pain au chocolate to go. Very delicious!

A great spot to chill. Great coffee and chockloate. Rather enjoyed the breakfast.

A good place for studying, with your laptop and access to WiFi. The staff are friendly.
The food options are limited and the French toast with bacon wasn’t up to taste, felt bland and heavy. wish there was something more like soft savoury buns or cinnamon rolls, for snacking during studying.
But great atmosphere for quiet learning.

Yummy food and drinks everytime we come here :)

Mice and Burnt Sourdough…

They have raised the prices and the service is below average. The sourdough was burnt and was hard to cut. When we asked for a sharper knife to cut it, we were told only butterknives were the available cutlery and informed us quite snarkily that this was the nature of sourdough… we have been eating sourdough for years, our sourdough was burnt (even the replacement), and every other brunch place provides a sharper knife - namely Ezra and Gil across the street, Which we wish we had gone to. As we were about to leave a small mouse scuttles acrooss the cafe behind a fridge. We have been coming here since it opened in 2015 - wont be coming back again.

Gooey Bakery + Café

This is truly the best brunch I ever had!The French toast was on a different level of deliciousness and the tofu sado sandwich was a delight.
I cannot wait to return and have it again!
The staff were really friendly and the vibe was great.
However the French toast blew my mind and I cannot stop thinking about it without my mouthwatering 🤤plus it was a generous portion.
We had some 🍩for takeout (because we were stuffed ) and we had them the next day,even so they were still so fluffy and the taste was exceptional with plenty filling. I personally liked them all but the basque cheese cake was my favourite!
Thank you for such an excellent culinary experience !

Such a great café experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

We ordered a French toast, a jam-filled doughnut, a cappuccino, and a flat white. The French toast was honestly the best I’ve ever had crispy on the edges, soft and buttery inside, and soaked in a rich syrup that tasted heavenly.

Both coffees were spot on: the flat white was smooth and perfectly balanced, while the cappuccino had a nice creamy foam with a strong espresso flavor. The doughnut added the perfect sweet touch to finish it all off.

Absolutely stunning experience at Gooey, Manchester. The food and coffee here are on another level.

The French toast was honestly the best I’ve ever had, thick, fluffy, indulgent, with the perfect balance of sweetness and richness. The avocado toast was fresh and the halloumi with chilli jam added that perfect salty, sweet bite. Paired with their smooth and well-crafted cappuccino and fresh orange juice it made for an exceptional brunch.

The presentation was as impressive as the taste, everything looked as good as it tasted. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was buzzing, and it’s clear why Gooey has the reputation it does.

If you’re in Manchester and love quality brunch with a bit of indulgence, this place is an absolute must.

Great shop, great food. Got the egg sandwich and the chicken Katsu sandwich. The bread was so tasty and packed full of filling. Highly recommend for brunch/lunch. Really good value, was stuffed by the end of it but had room for a donut. Highly recommend the buenella filling.

I’ve been to gooey 2 times, first I cycled 30miles for a 3 pack to take away. It was worth the distance the are as the name says gooey on the inside! But baked on the outside. Very nice.
I’ve also been alone for a hot chocolate and raspberry doughnut. The hot choc was average but the doughnut was special. It helped maintain 5 stars they are that nice. There was also a large Que outside but as I was alone managed to get a table for 1 no issues.

Moonbeam Coffee House

I have been to MoonBeam 3 times in the past month or so, and will keep coming back! The food is delicious and well priced, the coffee is made with love and is also delicious. The staff cannot do enough for you, and the atmosphere is always great. Highly recommend! A bonus is that it is dog friendly and has baby changing facilities 🌟

Absolutely amazing dishes and phenomenal service - will be going again!  The shop is small and can get busy so would recommend booking but the food is worth it.  You know it's good when people stop talking when they eat!  The beef brisket had a slight spice which really nice to it and I was envious of my daughter's pancakes which had massive blueberries and great looking bacon.....an empty plate on both sides.  Also had a nice coffee.  The atmosphere was nice, welcoming and the staff were nice and had great service from Florence.  Tempted to buy a creme egg brownie for after....well, we had to!

Lovely brunch spot, the options for both food and drinks were great. The service was amazing with really friendly staff. Although it was busy and we hadn’t booked they were really accommodating. Will definitely return if I’m in the area!

Excellent service, delicious, reasonably priced food, and a lovely garden at the back. 100% recommend this place for lunch / brunch.

Fine for a one off. Halloumi was very nice. Quite a small pot of beans. Coffee n hot choc were luke warm at best.

Gran T's Coffee House - Altrincham

A very cosy place. Choice of sofa seating and tables/chairs. Loved the place. The Caffè Latte was perfect - nice and strong, to my liking and not overly milky. Loads of choices of cakes, cookies, etc. The staff were friendly and attentive. If you are dining in, they serve the drinks your table, which is nice considering that you do not need to wait at the counter for your drink to be prepared. If you want a place for a meet up, you will not go wrong picking Gran T's Coffee House.

p.s. Wall power outlets available if you need/want to charge your phone while dining in.

Oliver was so friendly and accommodating this morning! Will definitely be returning, my new fave spot 😁

I highly recommend; I usually buy coffee from other places but this morning I decided to visit Gran T’s Altrincham branch. Such a warm and cozy atmosphere made all the better by the outstanding service I received from Lauryn. Coffee 10/10 Service 10/10 A great start to my day!

This is my new favourite spot!! Oliver is so friendly and really made us feel right at home, amazing customer service! Love the coffee - so happy to finally find somewhere that does almond milk🙏🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but after visiting Grant T Coffee Shop and being served by Beth, I honestly felt compelled to. From the moment I walked in, she set a standard that every coffee shop in the country should aspire to.

Beth doesn’t just serve coffee — she elevates the experience. She greeted me with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. Her professionalism and friendliness are perfectly balanced; she manages to be attentive without hovering, chatty without ever crossing the line into overbearing.

When I couldn’t decide what to order, Beth didn’t just list menu items — she guided me through them like a sommelier walking a guest through fine wines. Her product knowledge is ridiculous — she described the flavour profiles of different roasts, recommended a blend that suited my taste exactly, and even explained how the grind affects the flavour. You could tell she’s passionate about what she does and genuinely cares that customers leave happy.

The coffee she made was, hands down, the best I’ve ever had from this shop — perfectly balanced, the milk textured like velvet, and the presentation looked straight out of an Instagram advert. But it wasn’t just the drink that made the experience memorable; it was Beth’s energy, her attention to detail, and the effortless way she ran the counter even during the rush.

I watched her handle multiple customers with grace and efficiency, remembering orders, names, and even small details from previous visits. You don’t see that level of care often — it’s the kind of service that builds customer loyalty and keeps people coming back.

Frankly, if there’s anyone who deserves a promotion, it’s Beth. She’s not just good at her job — she’s exceptional. She represents the brand better than any marketing campaign ever could. She’s the kind of employee every business dreams of having: reliable, engaging, professional, and passionate.

So, to whoever manages Grant T Coffee Shop — if you’re reading this — please take note. Beth isn’t just making lattes; she’s creating experiences and winning you repeat customers. She’s the heart and soul of that shop, and if there’s any justice, she should be running the place by now.

Thank you, Beth — for the best coffee, the best service, and the best start to my day I’ve had in a long time.

Gran T's Coffee House

GULF - TEA HOUSE

I came across this place while looking for a spot that serves Karak tea. The Karak was good, and the wraps were tasty as well, but the prices were shockingly high.

In my country, I could get Karak and wraps (chapati) from the most expensive restaurant for almost half the price and from a similar range of restaurant for less than 20% of what I paid here. The wrap was very small, and even though it tasted good, the portion and quality do not justify the cost.

What a lovely hidden gem! The tea was sensational as well as the full breakfast! I’d agree with other reviews - the pide was a little overpriced for the size it is, however that was the only drawback. The atmosphere was stunning and the food was top quality! Looking forward to visiting again :)

I went here with my family as I was intrigued with the layout. Fortunately it was only us as the space is small and intimate. I liked the cushion seating which gave the atmosphere a Middle Eastern vibe.

When the food came I was pleasantly surprised with how filling the Arab Breakfast was; it was just right not too bloated and overly full.

The hummus, bread, falafel were all very tasty, freshly made, moist and fluffy.

We shared the Tiramisu and it was divine ! ♥️

The atmosphere was inviting and vibrant, setting the tone for a memorable evening. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that the chefs take great pride in their work. The menu offers a great variety, with something for everyone, and I appreciated the creative twists on classic dishes.

Came in to do some work, had a pistachio tiramisu and coffee, both of which were delicious!

Great atmosphere, a lot of people come in here to work on computers or read so the atmosphere is generally peaceful. It can get busy for this reason though.

Also, I think this café is part of Mala now, so you can order food from the restaurants in Mala to your table, which offers great variety. It can get a bit loud at dinner times though since there's an open door between the two.

My only criticism is that the food can be expensive. Basic food/snack items are around £10. Though, since you can order from Mala you could buy from another restaurant. But it is a shame because I love the food that the teahouse itself offers.

Gulf Teahouse

Nùr Cafe Manchester

Cheescakes here are amazing. We tried shakshuka which was good portion for 2. For drinks we got the mango matcha and pistachio latte. Pistachio latter was not as food as I was expecting it to be. Dubai kunafa cheescake was yum and thr crunch was good. Biscoff cheescake was good too. Most staff was very friendly, however one seemed to have an attitude, probably was having a bad day. The interior is beautiful. However it is very busy, we had to que up for about 15 mins. Menu available on scanning qr code and then order placed in person. They don't have their own parking lot, its based in the city so better to park in the parking lot. Would highly recommend this place for people who love sweet.

Very nice exterior and interior. Pleasant staff who are attentive and friendly. I only ordered the cheesecake so can't comment on the menu. From looking at other customers orders the portion size looked good and appealing. I had the pistachio kunefa cheesecake. Large portion. Pricey but worth it. Fresh and sweet. I will definitely return to try out the other dishes.

Update: On our second visit we ordered extra poached eggs one of which wasn’t cooked properly which when we informed the floor manager Fatema Rouchi, she didn’t look happy. After a bit she came back to say kitchen said that’s how poached eggs are cooked as if this is the first time we had poached eggs. She had no smile on her face all throughout the customer service. This has put me off. I’m taking off two stars but still leaving 3 stars only for the other girl who was really friendly and the rest of the food that was good. I’m leaving my original review below so you guys know that how much I liked it.

Previous review:

Best brunch in Manchester. Good choice of halal breakfast. Great friendly environment with excellent customer service. Clean toilets and they even have a prayer room! Highly recommended!

Not a positive experience overall. Two out of three servers seem uninterested and bothered to work. The Atay team is not Atay to say the least. It’s just mint leaves with hot water. The shabati with eggs is pretty good but needs to be salted.

Excellent and delicious food served at the Nur Cafe restaurant in Deansgate Manchester opens seven days a week from 9:30 AM till 10:00 PM.

I had Shawarma with Chips and it was a memorable dinner I had at Nur Cafe because it was definitely a great meal for me to have in the evening and tasted really good and I enjoyed it very much as well as the ambience of the restaurant itself remarkable atmosphere in its surroundings which was an USP of the restaurant and in terms of hospitality it was fantastic by the owner itself and his staff.

Great place to hang out with family members and friends to have authentic taste of Palestine cuisine and culture.

House of chai (bolton)

I gave 4 star for food because I included drinks in this category. Their Hot drinks are not great and we have tried lots of them but the food - WOW! 10 out of 10 for taste and for presentation. We had brunch / lunch and ordered a cheesesteak, eggs Benedict which comes w/ Steak strips and the Dynamite Prawns. All of the Dessert we tried were also amazing!

Lovely place and the food was awesome 👌  10 10 steak was cooked to perfection. Would come back again.  Starters were amazing. Served by Noman his service was fantastic

Saw decent reviews of this place and thought I would give it a go. It’s situated next to eat meat so as we walked in , the both have the same entrance  but 2 different seating area. We got our table straight away, and the menus are qr codes on the table. We ordered a chicken Parmesan , a buttermilk chicken burger meal, and ordered a chicken burger meal for my kid. And for dessert we shared the French toast. Both my burger and my daughter’s burger was exactly the same, yet mine was £11 and my daughters was £7 . They were exactly the same . I paid 50% more for my burger for no reason. The service wasn’t great, however there was on waiter that was very good and deserved some recognition. Rest of the staff were too busy messing around with each other to notice the other guests in the restaurant. Not likely to come back again. It’s clean inside but the that’s the only good thing . Also works out my bill to be around £55 ended up paying £75 got sting for an extra £20. Another reason not to recommend this place. They don’t give you the bill just tell you how much it is. And you pay it.

Absolutely lovely staff. So friendly, helpful and really attentive. Was offered water and ice before ordering which was perfect for an hot day. Ordered from the Eat Meat menu which was great. My mushroom sauce and roast potatoes with my steak were forgotten about but I got them in the end, as well as free mash which got given by accident. My food was all so good though 😍

I visited with my friends. When paying for the food, it would be nice to be given a paper receipt instead of being told what the price is. As me and my friends were all paying for our own food, it would’ve been good to see how much each individuals food came up to so we could all pay the right amount. Not the servers fault obviously but this is something that could be looked at.

All in all, food was lovely, and the watermelon slush tasted SO GOOD. And looked fab. Communication between staff could be better but they were so nice so I didn’t mind much. I had a somewhat similar experience in Eat Meat and it was regarding food being forgotten as well. Lol.

The food was so so good !! The service was amazing, every server was so lovely and our server went above and beyond for us ! she told us she was new the job however she gave us the best experience. we had paid for the bill and were getting ready to leave and the owner came over with two desserts on the house. we genuinely had such a perfect experience i can’t wait to come again ❤️

House Of Chai

Smoak Coffee

Came here for brunch yesterday and loved it. Great atmosphere with lots of outside seating to enjoy the sunshine. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bagels were delicious- I ordered the roasted broccoli with added tofu and it was great!

Came here almost everyday during a week stay in Chorlton. Great coffee, pastries and vibes. Staff is friendly and the front patio seating is lovely to people(and dog) watch.

From the moment my partner and I first stepped into this incredible coffee shop, we knew we’d found something special. Nestled in the heart of Chorlton, this gem isn’t just the best in the area - we’d go as far as saying it’s the best in all of Manchester.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. Whether you’re popping in for a quick flat white or spending hours working, reading, or chatting, the vibe is always spot-on. It strikes that rare balance between buzzing and relaxed - lively enough to feel part of something, but never overwhelming.

Have been a few times for coffee, and it’s always been quite good (not quite Australian standard, but much better than other local options).
Bagels are fresh/tasty too, and the staff friendly and atmosphere welcoming.
Would recommend for those wanting good coffee in Chorlton.

We shared a bahn mi bagel and it was so yum. Loved my iced matcha too 💚🍀🤑🔫🐍 will be going again
