    The best coffee I've tasted in a long long time with super pastries and fresh bread in the mornings. If you want to spoil yourself for lunch the Kimcheese is a proper treat. There's also great sandwiches with their sourdough and good local cheeses. Run by a friendly, knowledgeable team, it's one of my favourite places in Sale and a morning staple before work. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

    By far the best coffee and baked goods in Sale, if not South Manchester! Looking forward to when they eventually open the cafe for sitting in again, but the hatch is very quick and convenient.

    Called 7th June 2023 for an Americano and a croissant. I've passed Grapefruit many times and meant to give it a go, but I always end up in another coffee shop on the opposite side of road, only because it's near where I park my car and I can't be faffed crossing to the other side! Anyway, my usual place was closed today so I popped across the road to Grapefruit. Honestly one of the best coffees I've had in a while, with a great pastry to accompany it. Service was friendly, drink done to perfection. Will definitely visit again, recommend you give it a go if you're passing!!

    Probably the best tasting coffee I’ve ever had, absolutely love this place.

    Beautiful coffee and lovely, knowledgeable staff. Easily the best coffee spot in Manchester.

    So disappointed at the hot chocolate, maybe if you like dark chocolate or bitter taste but not what you’d expect & nothing on the menu to indicate it was dark choc, had to throw away, disgusting :(.

  • 5/5 LJ 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love it here. Staff are always up for a chat, and remember our orders as we pop by so often! They sell coffee beans and various coffee accessories along with delicious treats (cinnamon roll is my favourite) and of course the coffee is fantastic.

    I go here very occasionally (I don't live in Sale), maybe every 6-12 months. The espresso is excellent, quite distinctive, amazingly consistent, I know exactly what it will taste like and never disappointed. Their milk drinks are good too, they have London fog, pastries etc. Worth a look, very quick from the little takeaway hatch.

    the most beautiful tasting coffee, you can tell the staff really care about what they do. been going to this place for a while and hadn’t been in a couple of months and they remembered me and asked how i was which means a lot :) gorgeous pastries too. literally a hidden gem 💖

    Great coffee! - it’s a shame the seating wasn’t set up yet but would highly recommend for some good coffee

  • 4/5 ar k. 9 months ago on Google
    Coffee is Good. Excellent coffee is also offered. Just only take away, can't enjoy in the house. Luckily, there is a canal nearby.

  • 5/5 Samuel 10 months ago on Google
    Possibly the best espresso I had in Manchester.

    Great coffee Cosy pleace

  • 5/5 Joe k. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place the coffee is consistent, I've tried most the drink menu and never had an issue...cheeky curve ball try the London Fog essentially its a tea latte and again tasty. The pastries, biscuits, flapjacks and my stand out winner is the ginger fudge shortbread ( will confirm name not a 100%)..I would even say that the bakery items are better than any in Sale. The staff are great, attentive, never rush and have a great demeanour with all the people I've seen. In a nut shell dont miss out and give this business a try a Sale staple and certainly gets my stamp of approval....encase they needed it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 a perfect treat brighten up your commute or treat your self in the way past. P.s. they also serve babycinos for kids for free which is a Brucey bonus and my child loves them

    My partner’s favourite coffee place. We’ve never been disappointed.

  • 5/5 Jack J. 4 months ago on Google
    Best coffee in Sale. Bar none. And the cookies are to die for. Fantastic place.

  • 5/5 Sharon H. 5 months ago on Google
    Best almond croissant ever had! Coffee delicious too. Wish I lived nearby!

  • 5/5 Steven A. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely coffee and a freshly baked croissant. I’ve submitted an update for the Google listing that you can only get takeaway. Other than that, perfect 👍🏻 friendly staff too ☺️

  • 5/5 Billy H. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best tasting coffee i've had in manchester as a whole. You can tell they have put time and effort into sourcing the bean and making sure the equipment is calibrated right.

  • 5/5 Bethan R. 1 year ago on Google
    I’d give this place more stars if I could. 10/10 every time. Best coffee in the land and Perry, Caitlin et al are utter cherubs. A visit to Grapefruit is sunshine on a rainy day

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't normally go to Sale, but was on the way back to the car and saw this quaint coffee shop and bakery on the edge of the canal bridge, got some Sunday morning dark roast and a fresh baked seeded loaf... Wow, best coffee I've ever tasted and the bread is to die for! Spongy and a thick crust! Anyone in Sale, get yourself here, a lovely place and very friendly and helpful staff ❤️

  • 5/5 Anthony N. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars (obviously)! The best coffees and the best cakes/pastries I’ve ever had. The customer service is also amazing - Perry, Caitlin and the rest of the guys are always cheerful and go above and beyond to make sure you’re welcomed and leave happy.

  • 5/5 Vicki L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely staff, decent coffee, and always a fun window display!

  • 5/5 Ben M. 2 years ago on Google
    Always 10/10 best coffee and service in sale! You know it says alot about a cafe/coffee house when its your 8 year olds favourite, asks to go EVERY DAY, the staff are absolutely lovely with her and as a result, i think they have a customer for life! Whatever coffee you go for, its all delicious, freshly made and served at immediate drinkable temperature, theres literally nowhere else we'd rather go, my daughter advises me the hot chocolates are amazing, and the fresh cinnamon buns are too!

    I have just had the best goats cheese sandwich known to the universe!! I live on sandwiches, and am ever searching for the perfect combination. I'm practically Joey from Friends! I never write reviews, ever! But that sandwich was unreal....thank you!!!

    A fantastic independent. Coffee is spot on.

  • 5/5 Jonathan W. 2 years ago on Google
    If I’m having coffee out of the house it has to be good. In fact, I’d say that finding reliably good coffee shops is something of an obsession of mine. You see, it’s no longer the case that you can rely on an IG profile full of latte art as a sign of coffee expertise. It ain’t just about skill, it’s about palette. What’s more, that can’t be taught. Perry and his team at Grapefruit have this. If you want coffee recommendations from passionate people in the know, if you want to experience fabulous coffee from amazing roasters, and if you are partial to the occasional tasty treats as an accompaniment, you won’t be disappointed.

    Happy 2nd Birthday Grapefruit. Many Happy Returns. x

  • 5/5 Jesslyn T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and friendly staff- always up for a chat about your coffee / brewing method. Sadly I couldnt stay as I was in a rush. Will be back when they re-open for dine-ins

👍👍 Excellent bouldering centre, no longer has auto belays so it's purely a bouldering center. I think it's one of the largest in Europe. Check to make sure they're open for general climbing as they have events on that aren't advertised on their website and you'll be turned away at the door. They have...
