The smoothies were delicious. The atmosphere was perfect.
The service from the counter girls was great, and the food is always delicious. It's nicely decorated with a clear theme, and the seating is ample. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. All said -- the older gentleman in the BOH with a beard and glasses is quite a bit less than kind to the FOH staff. It's hard to ignore with an open kitchen. I felt badly for the girls and left a bigger tip than I usually would, since no one really deserves to deal with that attitude in the workplace. I'm not sure if he's the owner, but he came across as condescending and unnecessarily cross to the FOH staff.
Probably the best cafe in Manchester. The coffee is really good and the food has always been delicious. Good luck finding parking.
Super cute and very cosy cafe. It is small but you can always find a seat. Good menu, not much, but great for breakfast and brunch. Service is slow, but in a good way, you have enough time to sit, relax and talk to your friends. Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free options and can adjust any dish.
Wonderful stop in our trip. Breakfast and meals all tasted excellent with the authentic home-made flavor we all love. Plenty of options here for anyone with dietary restrictions! Just wonderful. Dietary restrictions: Most if not all dishes can be made vegan and vegetarian friendly.
***Not a safe place for children!!!*** This past weekend I was eating lunch in this restaurant and witnessed the owner behave in a completely unprofessional and sickening way. My spouse and I watched as he approached a family with two small children and confronted them over moving two chairs to accommodate their party size. I work in the restaurant business and see this done regularly, so I was extremely shocked to see the owner become aggressive with them over something that happens in restaurants everyday. What I can't get over is the shock and fear I witnessed on that family's small children's faces when a stranger became aggressive with who I can only assume is their father. It's an image I can't seem to get out of my head, they were truly terrified! With that being said, I would highly recommend to never give this restaurant your business if this is how the owner behaves. Especially, if you have small children because it is absolutely not a safe environment for them!
I had an average sandwich here (Restoration TAB) - nothing special, but it filled a lunch need. Can't really go wrong with a sandwich. The side of popcorn was the best part! I was disappointed to learn that they don't have decaf coffee options. Hopefully that will change in time. The hot cocoa is a bit too chocolatey. And their cookies are very dry. I was hoping for much more. The drinks in beakers and the popcorn seem like the coolest thing going on here. My friend had a mocha here and said the coffee was strong, so maybe this is a good place for caffeinated coffee drinkers.
Kind staff, their communication though is terrible.
