Top 30 Best City centre cafes in Manchester

“Lovely service, breakfast roll and latte was delicious! Really pleasant find!”

“The Fee Good Club came recommended by a friend who lives in Manchester and it lived up to its hype. I immorally felt comfortable when I walked in. The waitress greeted me and told me to sit anywhere. The space is super open with lots of tables. Perfect if you want to spend the day working. There are also window benches that looked super comfortable and cozy. I ordered the Meat Breakfast and a flat white (pictured) and it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in the uk. The portion was very generous, and unlike a lot of places they were not afraid of spices and seasoning. As I was leaving I noticed they had a small shop in the corner and couldn’t help but buy a really cool bucket hat (I was also tempted to get one of their Bags). It’s owned by a lesbian couple which made me feel instantly welcomed as an lgbtq person. They also have a large following on social media where they post feel good content! Highly recommend you stop here if you’re visiting Manchester!”

“Friendly pub good atmosphere. Great range of drinks at sensible prices. Great landlady Maggy. Special mention for some great tunes from DJ Louise I don't know where you get your inspiration from! Hope to visit again soon.”

“Nice place, good views upstairs and really friendly staff. Good selection of craft beers and taste pies, not cheap for what you get but reasonable.”

“Always love going, the first Bar I bring my friends to that are outside of Bolton when visiting for a Fruit of the Forest specifically as the introduction to the bar. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“We came to the dog walking evening on the 27th of June. We had wanted to visit the gardens since they opened but this gave us, and our furry friends, the ideal opportunity to explore. What a resounding success it seemed to be. We absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the next one in July. Everybody we spoke to said the same as us. The gardens themselves are beautiful and we all enjoyed exploring. It is a place that is ever changing and I would like to see it in the different seasons. I really hope the dog friendly evenings remain a regular thing.”

“Delivered promptly and with plenty of communication. Needed to return and were extremely accommodating and arranged without delay. Good company to deal with.”

“Excellent stay, staff extremely helpful and attentive. Beautifully decorated boutique hotel. Would highly recommend.”

“Good beer, especially the Moravka and a good place to go for a chat with your chums. It's friendly and convivial and no pretensions.”

“Great food, very nice staff. We've had a brilliant good family time ❤️”

“A little slow, but understandable given how busy they were - great coffee (and cake!), and it's always nice to use an independent instead of one of the big multi-national chains. Not my first visit, not my last! :)”

“Excellent place for swimming lesson. My 7 year old loves the classes, her teacher is amazing, friendly and helpful too. The difference in her swimming in just a few lessons is massive.”

“1st time visiting today. 5 adults, and all meals were very nice. Great selection of cake. 5 star service. Would definitely recommend.”

“Nice place, service was very polite, great atmosphere and food was really tasty”

“Loved this place Fantastic Food, lovley Staff and Great service. Thank Guys”

“Excellent relaxed restaurant in the northern quarter. A hidden gem uncovered for me by a friend. Well worth heading to. Will be going again! Service was as good as the food. Pea soup fish & chips & a lemon meringue.”

“Incredible food. The mini meze for two is delicious and almost a meal in itself! Incredible food, genuinely warm and friendly service. An absolute gem, and, as my friend who hadn't eaten there before said, a great find.”

“This cafe is well talked about and very popular with the locals. It's a hidden gem of Stockport. If you like a Sunday afternoon tea this is the place. Lots of little cakes and good quality tea, the thing to have is the teared plates. But will set you back 15 per person. But well worth it. Little sandwiches. Nice. It's all art deco... so it makes you feel like you should dress up to visit!! Service is quite posh here. Love the 1930 feel.”

“Cafe with outdoor seating in the shopping centre. Friendly staff.”

“First visit here and would definitely return. Very quaint place, food and service excellent. Will return”

“Great local pub very lively, skinny lad behind the bar could do with a meat pie or two.”

“Great place to enjoy a quality beer close to the market. Interesting cask/keg/cider selection: they even had barley wine when I was there. There could well be a bottle shop upstairs full of Belgian rarities. Went today, it's still fabbo”

“What a lovely little pub. A hidden jem. Nice people and the beer garden is lovely. Definately coming again .”

“Brilliant pub, friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere too. Love it.”

“Ineffably delectable. I can’t remember a meal I have enjoyed as much. Thank you for superb service, wonderful wine and fantastic food - all for a very, very reasonable price.”

“Dog friendly pub with a good selection of beers and spirits. We had a couple here on our way to New Islington. Was really lively at around 3pm on Saturday, great atmosphere and friendly staff”

“A favourite of ours since moving to Manchester. Friendly staff, chilled vibe and great selection of beers in an authentic, vintage environment. It's a hidden gem, down some stairs in a basement and stands out from the usual garish, chain or flashy cocktail bars of Spinningfields.”

“Beautiful place to dine in or stay out on the terrace. Big selection of beers. Very nice food too.”

“Went to see Personal Trainer play here, great little room in a great old pub.”
