    Waiting time wasn't the fastest, we waited about 35 minutes for our order for two however, the booth seating was satisfying and the staff were very friendly and attentive. As far as the food goes I was full but the taste wasn't anything way above average. (The Moose style hot chocolate was banging)👌🏽 The menu has a lot of interesting different options however, can be limited if you don't consume pork as there is no halal option / replacement e.g.Turkey bacon. This is surprising as turkey bacon is very famous in Canada. Overall 3.5⭐

    One of the best spots for a real good breakfast! The portions are great for the prices and they offer the best waffles and crispy bacon. If you get a chance, definitely try the fresh mint tea with honey. My favourite has to be the scrambled eggs with the smoked salmon with a side of avocados. Amazing services and great food every single time!!! Must visit

    Fantastic! Our first visit following a recommendation. So much choice, and even though I was sure I'd ordered the right thing for me, I couldn't help but have a nosey at what other diners had ordered! Food arrived promptly and was delicious. Staff were informal and super friendly. Only slight niggle was that the pot of (earl grey) tea was tiny, only just enough for 1 cup. It's a bag of bits and hot water - a bigger pot would have been welcomed!

    Delightful brunch on a Sunday. Portions were huge! Excellent quality, my poached egg was perfect (yolk delivered a 10/10 egg pop). My partner enjoyed the pancakes. Service was brilliant, our server Thea was really lovely. The greeter was brilliant as well but didn’t catch his name. The place gets busy, so recommend booking!

    It is difficult to get in on the weekends even though it looks like tables are free. It's weird to make a reservation for breakfast, but that is because some choose to make a day out of it. Had the Eggs Benedict New England Moose and New Mexico Moose style. They were delicious, and the flat white tasted good. Serve breakfast all day until 5 pm. Pet friendly inside.

    Came for the French toast, well my son did. We came on a Sunday morning, booked our table then came back after 20 minutes and our table was outside. It was chilly so they should have some outdoor heaters. We had the special which was a white chocolate mocha and a normal mocha. I ordered the veggie breakfast option which was filling. There's options for bread which is good as I don't like sourdough that much. My son ordered the maple syrup apple French toast. Service was good.

    eggs Benedict was delicious, sauce was tasty. The double Dutch pancakes 🥞 had a good concept but doesn't work! having the sausage and bacon cut up into small pieces mixed into the pancake mixture loses the individual flavour. The pancakes were not fluffy, being a Canadian I can comment on this. It would of been more delicious if the the bacon and sausage was a side compliment. We asked that the eggs be scrambled instead, which meant we had to remove eggs and pay extra £3 to add scrambled as a side. I would return however try something else. Try the mint tea

    I would definitely recommend booking beforehand because it’s so incredibly busy in the mornings! Sometimes the queue ranges around the corner but I can definitely understand why. It was very delicious, kind staff who are all very attentive. Amelia was our waitress and she was funny, kind and ready to assist us at all times even though it was very busy. The food was incredible and even though I don’t like coffee (I got a hot chocolate), I tasted a bit of my boyfriends and it was delicious. He got the special honeycomb latte. The prices are definitely worth it.

    Love the place, the cleanness, the pouched eggs were perfect. Pancakes were not fluffy and tasty as usual, I was here 4 years ago. I love the variety of choices. Waiting dome days can take longer time than expected. I was informed that booking on the phone is open now. Definitely will come back.

    Excellent American style breakfasts served here, delicious food and attentive service. The only gripe I would have is when asked if we wanted hash with our breakfasts it would have been nice to know it was a chargeable extra, rather than an upsell :-) However, the hash is excellent and naturally, the coffee offered at Moose Coffee is top notch.

    I’ve always been to moose coffee in Liverpool first time to try in Manchester and I’m quite disappointed. A lot of the options were out of stock including but not limited to French toast, veg sausage and tofu. We ordered the steak and the size of it was quite sorry. Even the hash that came with it felt like it’s was leftovers. I had a guest from London and I have been hyping him up for days now about moose coffee only to receive this quality of food. I sincerely hope this gets improved.

    Fluffiest pancakes in Manchester with good maple syrup. Minute steaks were a nice add and the coffee was strong too. Friendly staff and quick service on Saturday morning. Would happily come back again when we are in Manchester 🔥

  • 5/5 Emma L. 1 year ago on Google
    First time visiting Manchester so me and my partner just wanted to find somewhere close to the hotel we were stopping in for breakfast. We had to put our names down on a waiting list and come back about an hour after we had originally wanted to eat, but that was our own fault for not realising how popular they are! We can see why too, we both had pancakes which were absolutely delicious. Our drinks were brought over in a short amount of time and the food we fortunately didn't have to wait long for despite it being so busy. Amazing place, the staff are really friendly and kind so we know for sure we will visit again when we're next in Manchester! 💜

    Psa that this review is written in comparison to Moose from 2016! We tried again the other week, in fact we try every year, to see if something has changed. The portions are generous and the techniques are fantastic (best scrambled eggs of my life) but something changed in 2016 and the food turned bland. It used to be so tasty that my mouth would water, the manolito was actually seasoned with refried beans and lime, and it tastes like a diluted version of itself now. Even the hollandaise, it used to be tangy and delicious and it just tastes mild now. waiting for an hour six years ago was worth it but not anymore, the food needs more flavor

    We visited on my partners 30th birthday to enjoy breakfast. My partner had French toast, bacon and a side of eggs. I had avocado and eggs on toast. The food was delicious. Service was polite and fast. The atmosphere was calm and very New York. Will definitely visit again and recommend a friend!

  • 5/5 Jedtravels 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely homemade dishes and good service. Nice coffee too! Get there early for breakfast to beat the rush. We had the Mexican one and one with hash, which was nice. It was supposed to come with steak but they run out so swapped with bacon. It was fine, but less Canadian and more like an English fry up. Would definitely revisit though! The other dishes being served also looked great. Thanks.

    On a solo trip to Manchester, and I was visiting museums etc and googled best place for brunch, and Moose was just around the corner. I love the idea that you can get a half & half Benedict style, which was fantastic. And the coffee, service and atmosphere were great too. Will be coming again when I next visit!!

  • 5/5 Ste C. 6 months ago on Google
    Great place and lovely food. Had the egg benedict combo half and half and was delicious. We sat outside to enjoy the weather so cannot comment on the inside.

  • 5/5 elaine b. 6 months ago on Google
    Book a table or you will be disappointed! There is a reason this place is always full, great coffee, a mind blowing Canadian brunch menu that will leave you spoiled for choice including pancakes that will make you eyes pop out on stalks. Loved it.

  • 5/5 Kate M. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Waitress was brilliant. We would definitely come again!

  • 5/5 Aaron P. 7 months ago on Google
    Moose Coffee is always a great pick for breakfast. The vegan options are really good and incredibly filling, and the daily rotation of speciality lattes are a good way to change up how you start the day

  • 5/5 Gary B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really popular place. You need to book in advance otherwise you'll be waiting. The food never fails to disappoint. Staff are always friendly and helpful

  • 5/5 Lynne P. 10 months ago on Google
    Recommend you book as they’re popular all day long!. Can’t fault the service, we had great service from start to finish. Food was amazing but huge portions as always. Feel bad that none of us could finish it. Thoroughly recommend for anyone after a hearty brunch in Manchester.

  • 4/5 Fran B. 10 months ago on Google
    Really great pancakes! Potentially the best this side of the US! We ordered a standard hot chocolate but it came with one of those plastic-wrapped sticks of chocolate that you had to stir yourself, it seemed a bit stupid. Service was slow and it wasn’t even 10am yet. Those two reasons were why this plates gets 4 and not 5 stars

  • 5/5 Francesca T. 9 months ago on Google
    Wonderful! Came for breakfast with friends and family. Staff very helpful and polite. Food was wonderful and delivered in good time. Able to sit in the sun which was lovely. Good value for money and potions were large. Would go again and highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Urban S. 2 years ago on Google
    Traditional Canadian and American breakfast. Portion were super huge. Even me that I usually eat a lot, I couldn’t finish my portion. Pancakes and French toast were spot on

  • 3/5 Adanna O. 8 months ago on Google
    My friend had the basic pancake and maple syrup meal. The pancakes were DELICIOUS! Sadly, the consistency of the maple syrup was like juice because of how watery it was. Which was like nothing we’re used to. However, we were made to understand by the staff that it’s the OG Canadian syrup way as far as maple syrup goes in Canada. I had the Ruben…toasted bagel, sliced grilled steak, cheese and mustard are what I assumed were the main ingredients for this dish, then filled with other condiments. However, I could only taste the mustard. It was quite overpowering and had me in a choking with every bite. The bagel was also a bit tough to cut through. Couldn’t finish my meal.

  • 5/5 Luissana b. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing as usual, top quality service and food. I highly recommend this place for breakfasts and brunch

  • 5/5 Nevins C. 2 years ago on Google
    Yum! Always loved the maple syrup, and it being on free refill is a nice touch. Have to get myself one of those tote bags too!

  • 3/5 Beard B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a bit of a disappointment, service was slow and the food was just average breakfast food. The best food we ate was the chocolate and orange pancakes. The coffee was good.

  • 5/5 Hayden H. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in here for a birthday breakfast recently. To say it was a Monday we were suprised how busy it was! Regardless all the staff were lovely and attentive and the lattes were amazing. There was a slight wait for food but understandable due to how busy it was. They even brought me some free birthday pancakes out which were a lovely touch! Would definitely recommend and come back anytime!

  • 5/5 Vogel R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place for breakfast. The food tastes incredible and is most definitely value for money. Staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Jay G. 1 year ago on Google
    We waited a little over 45 mins for our food and then checked with the staff who then realized our order never made it to the kitchen. However, it was handled well and apologetically and we were compensated with complimentary drinks and a discount on our final bill. The food was tasty- I’d recommend getting the pancakes but sharing with someone for something savory because it does get quite heavy. Torn on if I would visit again.

  • 5/5 Lilase H. 1 year ago on Google
    American styled diner. Tried the pancakes which were to die for! Lovely ambiance and the staff were very friendly, professional and welcoming. They went out of their way to find me a spot despite it being full. Would definitely come again ⭐️

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
