Top 30 Best City centre cafe in Manchester

“We attended this cafe nero on a Saturday mid afternoon, so it was getting quite busy as everyone turned up for caffeine to fix their afternoon lull. Love a good nero, the coffee always tastes great. The staff are always friendly. Although it was really busy the staff were efficient, and happy. We even had a chat and a joke with them at the till. As I work in retail myself it can be very hard and sap your energy when it is busy and can be difficult at times to remain upbeat as you start to tire. We sat in, and the staff didn't stop the whole time we were there, the queue was just constant, so well done to them for working so hard. I don't think retail workers get enough credit for working like machines, however customers are quick to point out when there is an issue!”

“Great selection of ales , wines and spirits . Great atmosphere and love decor. Friendly & helpful bar staff .”

“Pizza, pizza, pizza - we all love pizza and even more so when it’s a thin base (means we can eat more) and herby…off to pizzaluxe in Manchester Arndale On our veggie pizza plate was the 13inch Melanzene [£9.50], which had such a variety of vegetables and the creamy feta giving that indulgence. We also had the 10inch Bufala [£7.50], which is a classic that you cannot go wrong with For a side, we recommend the Dough & Dip Breadsticks [£4.50] - fresh, soft bread perfect for the winter belly”

“Been visiting this cafe for years. Friendly staff. Clean good price, nice food and their cappuccino better than Costa. Very convenient spot as you have to pass it before you leave Merseway to get to bus station, nice cafe”

“What a breath of fresh air, Stuart serves me everyday with a smile on his face and is a credit to Bean. His salted caramel lattes are the best. Great addition to the office. And the lemon drizzle cake is to die for ❤️”

“Me and my friend really enjoyed ourselves at this Costa that overlooks The Trafford Centre, with no screen at the counter like some and helpful, friendly staff! I had a delicious white hot chocolate, sitting comfortably at a clean table.”

“Coffee is always perfect from Starbucks. Temperate just right. You can get the standard coffee options however they usually have some seasonal coffees. This one is positioned in the Trafford centre and has brilliant staff. It’s pretty quick with service. Majority of the time it’s clean however during the busier times the table may have old cups on. Best to clean up after yourself! Often busy so you might not get a seat if you’re planning on dining in.”

“Went back again the other day, I got the Lychee Rumble and it was lovely, definitely recommend plus the owner is so kind and warming :)”

“Honestly, what a take over I was worried about the void that was left from the botanist however the take over has been impressive, they offer a wide range of food and drinks and the staff are kind and welcoming from the get go through to the end, will be returning.”

“Doesn't look much from the outside, but is well worth a visit. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. A really nice pub.”
