    I found this place in search of good coffee and a full english breakfast after a night out. the food is heavenly like i thought ahh just a greasy fry up.. NO the herbs, the flavours best breakfast I've had in a long time, the coffee is on point so nice! The atmosphere is really chilled out and welcoming. the service is second to none.

    This is the best coffee place close to Oxford road, you literally pass it as you walk down. Service is always quick. They sell cannolis, pastries and sandwiches. Also wine and beer, and nutropics (?) if that’s your thing. There are seats inside and a single toilet for customers.

    Hands down *the* best cup of coffee in Manchester. Very competitively priced too... Having frequented the small one in Victoria Station many times during the morning commute I was extremely surprised that I'd never spotted this little gem before as I must've walked past it 1000's of times... Service and quality of produce is second to none... Plus the menu is not limited to coffee, the missus can have a glass of prosecco as well... 😉

    Slow service, and unfortunately burnt coffee. The staff seemed indifferent to producing high quality service and while I did turn up in the early afternoon after a morning service, I don't think the cleanliness of their clothes and the general cafe seating area was really up to a good enough standard. A cafe that clearly relies on being close to the station too much.

    Popped in here for breakfast to takeaway and felt so welcome! Such warm energy and as for the bacon sandwiches . . . Wow! Very tasty. Highly recommend when in Manchester Oxford road. (Plus the coffee is amazing!)

    Friendly service. A nice hidden gem near Oxford Road train station. A great place to stop in for a tea or coffee before you get a train.

  • 5/5 Phil M. 7 months ago on Google
    Quick review as this was the best cup of coffee I have had anywhere in Manchester so far. Definitely recommend and visit again.

    Klein, gemütlich, freundliche Gastgeber. Top Kaffee und leckere kleines Süßigkeiten. Es gibt auch belegte Baguettes.

  • 5/5 Kate N. 9 months ago on Google
    Must of Manchester! Essential. Head in grab a beatiful coffee, crisp soft drink, or train beer. I always buy a set of Cannolis each time I pass, delicous little treats perfect for helping make someones day. Also best spot for relaxing and watching the world go by.

  • 5/5 James P. 5 years ago on Google
    Marries a no-nonsense, laidback atmosphere with a commitment to top quality coffee (and presumably tea but that's not my bag). It enjoys a prime location right in front of the rail station and is deservedly popular.

  • 5/5 Nigel C. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Paul S. 11 months ago on Google

    Chilled atmosphere beautiful coffee, we had fresh canoli's this just hit the spot after a rainy day in Manchester, thank you very much.

  • 1/5 Katie G. 1 year ago on Google
    The blonde haired woman was very stressed out with every customer and extremely rude, customers were trying to make polite conversation but she snapped back to two old ladies, she shouted at the whole queue for not queuing but everyone was, it was very awkward, the atmosphere was very tense. I myself tried to make a nice conversation with her but she put her had in my face and rudely told me not to speak as fast, she was VERY stressed and taking out on everyone. Absolute worst way to treat customers, and will be opting for Starbucks a couple of shops down next time.

  • 5/5 Roselina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a good spot this one and an odd layout meaning a good collection of seating available around the serving area. Great coffee and other things to have here while waiting for trains.

  • 5/5 Leesa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place when getting off the train, staff are lovely, great atmosphere and not too packed.
