    Prefect Big North breakfast with Americano is the best for Weekend Morning. It is nice and very popular restaurant with lots of customers. Good service and comfy seating with great food menu selections!

    I went there for breakfast last Sunday with my friends. The cafe looked busy so we waited about 5 mins which is grand. The waiter, a young male was very nice and accommodating to myself and my friends, he saw that we were Deaf and he knew some BSL, which was a lovely bonus for us especially communication wise. He did a great job checking with us and signing, it made our morning! I hope more people can be like him, and have knowledge of BSL. The food was great, I had the egg benedict and my friend had a full English. The atmosphere and service is very good! Just wanted to give a shout out to the lovely waiter! We couldn't give tips as we didn't have English pounds only euros, so feel bad for that, he certainly deserves a great tip from us! One day hopefully!

    Great cafe with many selections of food, desserts, coffee, and cold drinks. For coffee, I ordered cappuccino, which was great (especially the heart design). And for desserts, I ordered french toast, which is rarely found in other restaurants in Manchester. It was great, I really recommend it as a dessert option (or breakfast).

    Due to the great reviews, I decided to visit this cafe. I was not disappointed. Greeted by a lovely guy. My breakfast was scrumptious. It's a lovely, clean and wonderful cafe. I definitely would recommend and can't wait to go back!

    My girlfriend and I had a fantastic breakfast at Cafe North. I went for the Full English Breakfast and it was amazing. My girlfriend ordered the Banana Pancakes and they were to die for. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast spot, check out you won't be disappointed.

    I’ve walked in and seated within 5 minutes on a very busy Saturday morning, the seating was comfortable and they took our orders quickly. The food was all great, everyone enjoyed their meal and the smoothies were really good.

    Very friendly environment and staff, the food came fast. The food was tasty and fresh 🙂 I just felt that the soup wasn’t a soup and the americano was not Arabica. If it wasn’t then I recommend to change it 😊 otherwise it’s very lovely place and people 👍

    Very popular cafe in Manchester city centre. I can see why now. The quality of the food is exceptional. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service was quick once inside. Had to queue to get in because of its popularity but it was well worth the wait. The price was reasonable and certainly another option for breakfast if you are staying at any of the nearby hotels.

    Cracking breakfast! The menu has multiple options and would cater for everyone. Plenty of Vegan and Vegetarian options. Didn't have to wait too long for the food and there was a big plate full. Ace value for money and tasted spot on.

    One of the few places that we could order both English breakfast and pancakes. And what a breakfast! Hash was a proper hash with real potato, not some fried mashed potato. Pancakes were very well cooked and the options were wide and all tasty. Very good portions and good quality food. I can definitely recommend it.

    Great a lot for reasonable priced food with high quality and tasty food. We had to wait about 5 minutes on a busy Sunday morning but it was absolutely worth it. Lovely staff and a great choice of food. I would absolutely recommend the pancakes.

  • 3/5 Matteo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little place, staff was friendly. It was a little pricey for what they serve (£3 for 2 slices of sourdough bread and £1.50 for a little side of mushrooms). I had the shakshuka and it was decent. I’ve eaten tastier ones elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Anthony D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kayleigh B. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and open from 7:30am. My partner got the vegetarian breakfast and I got poached egg, halloumi on sour dough toast

  • 4/5 Hanan 1 year ago on Google
    Great place - I'd recommend it. Delicious food, cosy atmosphere and very polite & friendly staff. This was my first time to try French toast and it was beyond my expectations! The cafe is small, cute and feels like home. The scenery is lovely and everything was perfect. Thank you, I had an amazing experience - I only stayed around 30 minutes but felt quite welcome and left satisfied. A bit too pricey though.

    Perfect breakfast

  • 3/5 Sandra 2 years ago on Google
    Went for breakfast. My son had the Eggs Royal I had the shakshuka without feta cheese. It was OK but not spicy and eggs were overcooked. Place was busy for a Sunday morning which is a good sign. Reasonable prices. Will try something else next time.

  • 5/5 Amal A. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved this place. The food is fantastic. Tremendous options on the menu. Lovely staffs. I had a french toast and an omelette, and a very large coffee. It worths every cent paid. You should all try it

  • 5/5 Holly L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place for brunch! I had the soup of the day which was delicious and really good value for money. The cafe is large so even when it’s busy, you still get a good sense of your own space, it’s a nice atmosphere! The service was also incredibly welcoming and friendly

  • 4/5 Debra R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place for breakfast... So much to choose from, couldn't make my mind up. The cooked breakfast was lovely, vegetarian options as well. I had the pancakes with crispy bacon and blueberries, it was nice. Coffee was really good It's quite a large space and has a really nice atmosphere, service was good

  • 3/5 Makiki N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice ambience. Ok coffee. Sorry to say that our chosen breakfast is underwhelming. There is no taste. It is an uninspiring assembly of ingredients into one soulless dish. Maybe it’s our choice. Maybe other dishes perform better. Polite staff.

  • 5/5 Similoluwa A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had lentil soup and club sandwich menu which was about 11 pounds. It was so good. So delicious. I couldn’t even finish my club sandwich. It was so good. Thank you for the delicious meal

  • 5/5 Colette H. 11 months ago on Google
    Came to stay in Manchester for a week and ended up visiting the place 4 times. Quick and super friendly service. Price is absolutely worth the delicious food and drinks. Freshly prepared and directly sent to the table. Definitely will be back next time. Peng out of Peng!

  • 5/5 Zuzana S. 1 year ago on Google
    We (family of 4 with 2 kids) ended up coming here for brunch after realising that we'd have to queue for 40 mins around the corner in a very popular cookie place... Had to wait for a table here too as it was a busy Saturday lunchtime, however the wait was reasonable considering time of the day and how busy it was. Pleasantly surprised with the selection of dishes on the menu, we tried oreo French toast, eggs royal, and egg North. Very tasty and arrived super quickly too! Kids loved the smoothies, we loved the coffee! Cute cups ☕️ Looking forward to trying other stuff off the menu next time. Prices average for a cafe in town. Be prepared for quite a diverse clientele.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 11 months ago on Google
    Hot tasty food, freshly prepared and served by friendly and efficient staff. An all-day breakfast kind of café which was exactly what we wanted. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Zubair S. 10 months ago on Google
    Came to this cafe just by Shudehill Interchange for Sunday brunch. We were a large group of 9 and they accommodated for us graciously despite the fact that we hadn’t made a reservation. Food was simple and well done. No complaints at all from our group - everything seemed to go down well. I certainly found my veggie breakfast very enjoyable. Staff were very pleasant and this was a nice place to visit. Would happily return.

    I had never visited this café before due to the huge queue outside but today it was quiet and I’ve decided to pay them a visit. The café is located at the hearth of Manchester, a few steps away from Shudehill Station, Manchester Arndale, The Printworks and Corner Exchange. The design of the café is informal and cosy. It has large windows that let the light come in, while you sit in a modern environment that presents as relaxing, as well as vibrant at the same time. There is a good choice of high-quality food with excels in the presentation as well as the taste. You can eat traditional breakfast items, as well as indulgent deserts, French toasts, pancakes and waffles. They have also a small selection of pastries and cakes and an abundant variety of drinks, spacing from home-made smoothies to cocktails, all diligently prepared while you wait. Despite being busy, the service was incredibly fast and the staff friendly and welcoming. When you consider all the above, you would expect to pay high prices and various surcharges (as it does happen in many cafes and restaurants in Manchester) but, surprisingly, this is not the case! Prices are appropriate and you pay exactly what you order, without any hidden gratuity or service surcharge. If you are in Manchester, I definitely recommend paying them a visit as this is definitely a local gem!

    Great cafe queuing out the door few of us went had breakfast and few other things. My poached eggs on toast for £6 was an amazing bargain. We will be back. Good cuppa too.

    Best breakfast/lunch. I’ve been visiting and introducing friends and family to here for the last 3 years. The food and service is amazing! They have so many things I want to try on the menu but always end up getting the yummy pancakes! Good quality produce and generous portions. recommend

    I have walked past this place so many times and never been in, today I had the pleasure of visiting. It was lovely, clean and followed all the covid 19 procedures. Service was very friendly and food was great. This will not be my last time in there. Well done team.

  • 5/5 Meg L. 3 years ago on Google
    All staff are very friendly and helpful - never had a bad experience. They have occasionally missed items like mushrooms or beans off the mini north breakfast - but they’re always quick and efficient to rectify

  • 1/5 mohammed p. 3 years ago on Google
    Great polite waiters but Horrible food and Coffee. English muffin was burnt and rock solid. Poached egg had a solid yolk. And Spinach lacked any flavour. The coffee was extremely hot and tasted burnt. Unfortunately i wont be returning again.

  • 5/5 Debbie Jane M. 3 years ago on Google
    Cafe North Manchester, what can I say! Wonderful, tasty food every time! I have ordered through Uber Eats several times & each time ordering has been clear & straight forward with both Uber Eats & Cafe North providing great communication from the beginning of my order to delivery! There was a delivery fee of £2:79 & a service fee of £1:60. The menu is vast from pancakes with bacon & syrup, smoothies, to a full English Breakfast! Prices are good & Cafe North offers takeaway & delivery during lockdown & out with lockdown a large cosy/modern well lit cafe. The Uber Eats delivery driver followed Covid-19 Procedures & my orders are always boxed-up very well & always very warm. Opening times are included on the photo I have uploaded If you get the chance to order from Cafe North, do so!
