Just stopped for a quick coffee as really wanted to try it out while visiting Manchester . The place is small but nice and service very friendly and customer oriented. They serve you some water (tap water ) first while you wait which is nice . The coffee tasted good . They also have some tables outside but it’s in the Main Street. Can’t wait to visit another day to try their good looking pancakes. Great for mums with baby as extra changing table in toilets. Also a nice extra curiosity , tampons for the ladies during their cycle which is always very practical if you are on the go.
Just perfect Right at the entrance you instantly feel the hospitality as you are met by friendly smiles by the staff, and a warm interior is natural elements like bricks and wood. They have some calm jazzy music in the background. I had the smashed avocado with poached eggs, and it was great. Many other places this simple dish looks good, but lacks the taste. Here the smash was so good with a hint of citrus, and they nailed the iced mocha too! I went alone, and while it is bad for business with one person occupying a table alone, they never encouraged me to leave despite the growing line outside. I even got an extra bottle of water after finishing everything. Thanks for the good vibes, and keep up the good work A big recommendation from me!
The only thing better than the steak sandwich I had was Natalia!! She made the wait outside so fun and truly enhanced our experience overall!! The food is fantastic and the service is 10 times better. My new favourite spot in Manchester
One of the best places to eat breakfast, excellent outstanding friendly staff, clean and fast service. Cozy like home feeling, clean toilets, real flowers and plants in the cafe, food especially the french toast is to die for.
Wow an amazing experience. From the moment you arrive. There was a queue and we were told how long, given a menu and an umbrella to keep us dry whilst we waited. People complain about the wait but what do people expect and is well worth the wait. Unique and wholesome flavours. The Turkish eggs were amazing. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant. The staff, atmosphere and food were amazing. A must visit and don't let the queues but you off
Coming here during weekday afternoon there’s no queue at all, got the chance to visit their biggest branch before but this time wanted to try different branch. The vibes always lively yet warm and cozy. Coming here twice both ordered Turkish eggs, it was creamy, fulfilling and the sauce still amazing. Coffee both bold and strong, the drink also has various options depending on your preferences. If you’re in Manchester looking for a outstanding food and delicious coffee you should check this one out
The brunch was beautiful but what stood out was the service. One member of our party is pregnant and asked if the eggs were suitable and they couldn’t guarantee so they went to the shops and brought some just for her. Incredible service by such lovely staff. We were in shock and so grateful!
I followed the reviews on TikTok and came here to eat. The French tones were delicious and I was lucky to get a free meal. I love this place and the staff are lovely and friendly to me. Thanks NATALIA & KATIE at FEDERAL DEANSGATE
