Manchester coffee culture in Salford

“Eric and I have been coming since their opening and we can't praise them highly enough. Benjamin and his staff are so friendly. The coffee is the best anywhere. They have just started serving breakfasts and other freshly cooked food. The quality and presentation are perfect. Sarah, the chef, does an excellent job. The prices are also very reasonable. Lily and Shannon also provide friendly and helpful service. Coffee Vibe is a long awaited addition to our locale.”

“If you’re looking for ambience, this is not for you. Getting that out of the way, this was one of the most authentic and affordable breakfasts I have ever had in England and cooked to perfection and had great portion sizes.”

“Delicious brunch spot! I could have eaten everything on the menu! The coffee and service was fab and had to try one of the pastries on offer as well. I chose the goats cheese and eggs gremolata and all the flavours were incredible. You must come and try here you won’t regret it!”

“The staff is lovely and taught me a lot about Manchester. They truly seemed to care about the food quality and were very friendly and conversational. The food is fresh and the afternoon tea is worth every pence (also very affordable compared to other afternoon teas). It's a lot of food too!”

“+ Excellent food Sunday lunch when we went - excellent choice of beef, pork of lamb (plus nut roast) - very good Another time we had one of the best full English breakfasts we've had in Manchester Nice choice of beers (draught) and soft/hot drinks Very warm and welcoming atmosphere - Occasionally the menu is limited, but it changes regularly Overall, a really excellent business and initiative in a great museum”

“I really enjoyed the food. The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful. I got the mix grill for 2, and it was more than enough for me, my wife and 2 kids. The owners are great and made us feel very welcome. The decor inside is stunning and the food is fresh and really tasty. My little kids even got lollies at the end. Definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again. Thanks Asma for the delicious food.”

“The atmosphere is great, drink prices are incredible, best you'll find anywhere. Spend a lot of time in this place! Only down side is the food, although still good, it's not quite as good as it used to be. Still five star though!”

“Quiet, cool, great iced coffee for a reasonable price. Loads of power sockets for your laptop. Comfortable chairs and sofas. If public music bothers you, I recommend having noise cancelling headphones.”

“Just ordered food with the girls, lots to choose from. The spicy beef filo starter was so delicious ! The staff were very friendly it was a family run business. Definitely recommend !”

“We had the afternoon tea at Gran Cafe. The staff was very friendly and changed the set according to our dietary needs. The food was very good and considering the price was relatively cheap compared to afternoon teas from other places, it is probably the best afternoon tea in Manchester”

“My husband and I came here for breakfast as it was near our hotel and it looked inviting from outside. The building outside is stunning. A beautifully historic piece of English history. The interior is modern, clean and comfy. The lady serving us was polite and friendly. The food was excellent. A good English breakfast and smashed avocado and egg between us both was very well received.”

“Really wonderful staff, I spilled my coffee and they were lovely about it replacing it for me for free. It was delicious as was the cake.”
