Environmental cafe in Manchester

“Grounded in the North went down a storm at PlannerFest. There was lots of praise for the quality of the brews and cake! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”

“A amazing place to eat. The atmosphere is excellent, the staff are friendly and the food is lovely. The prices are excellent too compared to some places ! ❤️”

“Very friendly cafe with small creative activities for children to do. Great baby change facilities and high chairs available too. Staff will help you lift your pram up the steps.”

“Great place out of the city. If you go from the airport to Old Trafford stop in this village and have a coffe and cake at Fino! Excelent cakes and very good prices, very very good comparing to Manchester caffes. And this is what I call coffee, but Im from Croatia, we take expresso. Personel were very friendly!”

“Had a lovely jacket potato from here even got a free hot chocolate because I work for the NHS. The brownies are to die for and the staff were so lovely. Would recommend:)”

“Lovely place, well worth a visit. Great for kids, plenty of toys, bikes and friendly chickens pottering round! We had some nice food, burgers, hotdogs and fries were tasty and well presented. Food and drinks are reasonably priced.”

“I love the place. It feels great to sip a cup of coffee while studying or reading a book for hours. This is the best cafe in this area. Haven't tasted their food items yet, but the cakes are yummy.”

“Nice place for a break in the journey, nestled away on the Pennines The cakes were lovely, but the lemon meringue was a bit too much for me. The meringue was the uncooked & blow torched variety, rather than the classic baked. The lemon was also pretty heavy.”

“We stopped at Smoak for breakfast before our children’s final rugby game of the season. The coffee was fantastic, as was the service. The children had flavoured hot chocolates (Terrys chocolate orange and a vanilla), they described them as the best ever! The food was amazing, my wife and I had the famous pastrami bagels and they did not disappoint. Pastrami was full of flavour, the dressing was a fine accompaniment and the gherkin was just right. The kids had something simpler, but they all enjoyed what they had. Well worth a visit!”

“Kate was very helpful she helped me me to choose the perfect syrup for my hot chocolate and most importantly there was a service with a smile as always from Starbucks unlike rest of the stores in Manchester airport”

“Excellent food. Highly recommended. £150 between 7 of us”

“First time visiting today, called in for a coffee and a sandwich on a meeting break. Really warm welcome, excellent service and lovely staff. The coffee was very good and our food was lovely, really liked the menu, the bread was gorgeous and the choices really catered for everyone. Will definitely be calling in again soon! Thanks!!”

“Great place for Breakfast, best ever for the excellent price, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, egg, black pudding, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and 2 toast, great people very friendly”

“Cute café! On a Saturday morning we had to wait a little to be seated but the line moved quickly. The staff was friendly. The French toast was delicious! The Dukkha Mushrooms as well. Coffee was good. Loved that we were able to order and pay directly from the table.”

“Great beer with excellent staff and very reasonably priced. They always have great beers and they are very friendly and helpful to everyone.”

“Amazing café near AMBS. Such a great place to chill with your friends for brunch before classes or lunch after classes! Also their Vegan N’duja was out of this world!!”

“First order. So impressed. All kebab meat delicious, Byriani rice an unusual touch and compliments the meat. Even the salad has been made very tasty. Will definitely order again and recommend to others.”

“Nice clean Costa!!! Friendly helpful staff, and nice atmosphere.”

“Quietest in town!!! Everyone were walked past were mega busy but this had plenty of seating available. 2 toilets to share but apart from that, its nice!”

“Very friendly staff. Efficient and professional. They had to close the shop for a while as the drive through was so busy and they get overwhelmed with workers from the local industrial est at peak time so its a tricky one.”

“Never fails. Always fab coffee. Clean and tidy shop too”

“Amazing burgers, fantastic new addition to the area. Highly recommended!”

“The staff at this busy airport cafe is probably the nicest and friendliest I have ever come across while travelling. They will literally crack a joke with every customer, which is appreciated considering travelling can be super stressful. I will definitely come back on my next journey”
