“Lovely restaurant and owners! We went here for the first time tonight on the spare of the moment and we weren't disappointed. Warm welcome on our arrival, table available in the bright and well appointed restaurant. Good menu choice options for meals and smaller plates and the owner took the time too talk us through options. The food was really tasty, well presented and quick to serve. Great service throughout and I will come back again and do recommend. The place has only been open for a few months so far but is already offering great food in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks very much!”

“Visited here for my husbands birthday, the staff were so polite, they even went out their way and decorated our table with some ballons and banners I bought. Reasonably priced, great service and food is absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back. Thank you team for a lovely evening.”

“We had a lovely early evening meal here this week. We went into this restaurant on the off chance, we were accomodated. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, the pasta was gorgeous, we would recommend this restaurant, and have already. The prices were also good. Overall a very pleasant experience, hence the 5 stars. Thank you.”

“Absolutely beautiful so welcoming and food was great service and hospitality second to none and go above and beyond to accommodate even took homemade pies home yummy see you again soon with live from Dover xxx”

“Gorgeous cafe. Fits right in with the Underbank development. The coffee is fab and the vegetarian breakfast (smashed avocado with poached eggs and halloumi) was amazing but it's the little touches that nailed it for me: 1. an umbrella stand and a coat stand, ideal when it's a soggy day outside (no dripping all over the cafe) and; 2. a steak knife to cut the sourdough toast. Much underrated. I spotted the cakes as I paid and went back later to sample. The Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake was incredible. Try the mushrooms on toast. Amazing.”

“Nice laid back ambience. Coffee was first rate. I will return. I did return and it was great again!”

“A very welcome addition to Poynton high street! Great coffee and cakes, and the jacket potatoes are possibly the best I've tasted! All served very quickly too.”

“Great food and lovely meeting new people in the community and friendly people”

“Probably one of the friendliest and most welcoming cozy places in Didsbury village to have a wonderfully delicious breakfast and a great coffee. Do not miss visiting this place.”

“Was in the area visiting and popped in for a breakfast. Fantastic little Cafe. Nice ambience, fantastic food and friendly staff. The coffee was lush too. Well done guys, keep up the good work.”

“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!”

“Love coming here. My dog loves the walk and meeting her own kind. The hot chocolate us amazing, and the hone made sausage rolls are out of this world. Been here twice this week. Can't stay away. Could do with a toilet though.”

“Absolutely a hidden gem. Stellar coffee, cozy welcoming place to come on your own and read or write.”

“Been a couple times now. Always nice food, friendly staff and everything seems well priced. Can't beat a nice little cafe.”

“Love the new outside seating area, very continental. These are very strange times and we all want to feel safe when we are out and meeting friends and family and this new outside seating is perfect Well done Chris and the team, it’s wonderful and your coffee cakes are delicious, as always. Update April 2021 Great to see your outside seating area open and looking amazing.”

Love the location too, and love the events that they host, only been to a couple so far and looking forward to attending more in the future. Overall superb and welcoming :)”

“Absolutely delicious food, all freshly cooked. Very reasonably priced. Can't wait to come back!”

“I really liked this spot, only popped in for a coffee and a snack but will definitely be back again. They had a choice of a few different vegan cannolis, I got a cappuccino flavoured one and it went perfect with my latte. The food menu looked great so will be back to try some of their vegan options. The atmosphere was very chilled and cozy and the staff were lovely :)”

“Amazing coffee and so were the staff would highly recommend going here. My panini was divine, and the cakes were so nice we brought some to take home! 5 star service”

“Factory Coffee is a cozy and simple coffee in Manchester. The location is good and the design of the coffee shop is gorgeous and lovely. You can enjoy a good time there. I’m quiet agree it’s the best coffee in Manchester. The coffee tasted rich, sweet and smooth. If you want to try the cakes there, remember to visit earlier. So sad for me couldn’t try the cake because I visited late. All sold out ;( I will come early next time xoxo”

“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”

“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.”

“What a delicious coffee and wonderful welcome at Lulu's how did I not know they were here. Great veggie(vegan) stuff, lots of yummy foodie things to buy and a fab atmosphere..I will be back!”
