    I was looking for a cafe in the Eccles area and came across Malaga. The atmosphere was welcoming and the host was very nice. I ordered a large latte and it was at a very affordable price, compared to what you get at places like Starbucks or Costa. I really enjoyed the latte and would definitely return if close by again.

    It's so relaxing and you can sit in as long as you want. I work in there sometimes as it's a nice and cheerful place to be in. Bacon butties and Sausage butties are to die for. Not great for the old waistline though. Owner is very friendly also.

    Wonderful coffee, comfortable and inviting surroundings and friendly staff. I could tell that many customers were regulars even though it was my first visit. Lots of board games, which I see from other reviews is a Thing here. I'll definitely be coming back.

    There is a great, informal chess club here every Wednesday evening starting at 7.00 pm. You can borrow and donate books here too. Serves hot food. Always a friendly place with a warm welcome. Great public transport links as well. Just a few steps away from Eccles train station.

  • 5/5 Anjum M. 6 years ago on Google
    A warm relaxing ambience , open mic nights, a VERY reasonable variety of 'non-coffee' beverages - on Draught, bottle or can, a variety of comfortable seating, some basic dining options with any manner of takeaways welcomed, clean restrooms... need I go on? And they have great coffee! Excellent place to chill with friends.

    Lovely little place that I've never visited before today but it definitely won't be my last time. The coffee was absolutely gorgeous and the food was delicious. My grandson ate his first piece of toast here and loved it!

  • 5/5 Gaizka N. 9 months ago on Google
    Whenever I visit Eccles, this cafe is my go-to spot for a coffee. It exudes a lovely, cozy atmosphere that's hard to resist. What's even better is that it's dog-friendly, making it a welcoming place for all. I've heard about their game nights and chess evenings, and they're definitely on my list to attend. This cafe is a hidden gem that never disappoints

  • 4/5 The B. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a family owned place with some some lovely coffee. Furthermore if you want a place with little more there are some bourd games in the back and if you like the very popular card game of magic( it's a nerdy game) overall would recommend

  • 5/5 Martha J. 4 years ago on Google
    The Malaga drift is truly a community café with a heart! It's my go to café, bar, open mic venue because I feel at home there. Gordon and Jane put the heart and soul in to making the Malaga a place to be proud of and which welcomes everyone (as long as respect for others is something you believe in). It's a great 2nd Office too! Highly recommended for a great atmosphere and friendliness.
