Katarzyna LudkaOctober 13, 2018The breakfast was hefty, tasty, and nicely served. Coffee was excellent. The staff took proper care of making us welcome even though we had to wait for the table. Overall - excellent.
TaMiMAugust 24, 2019Takk serve great coffee, a good selection of pastries, cakes and brunch dishes. The environment is cozy and suitable for work and gathering. This visit, I tried french toast and it is delicious.
RachelDecember 17, 2015Fantastic coffee, with baked goodness and light meals to match. Victorian brickwork and pale wood panelling combine for a Manchester-meets-Reykjavik feel.
Back to school with the desks to get a little work done. Really nice cappuccino, a croissant & some poppy seed loaf for brunch in this cool chilled out minimalist place. Yum! Good music too.
Great place for a Scandinavian like myself. While its getting busy it's still really nice to sit and work with a laptop or read a book (or iPad). Staff is very friendly and the espresso is very tasty
Jon WinterMay 21, 2022Flat white with oat milk was great and poached eggs served on the best toast I’ve had in ages. Worth the top rating for sure.
MajidMay 8, 2016Filter coffee and Mocha are just at the perfect tests. Newly medium roasted coffee beans, I loved the Brazilian and Ethiopian onces.
Sanne ThijsSeptember 17, 2016Very welcoming and friendly place. I was amazed by the French toast. Lots of power sockets to plug in computer or recharge your sell phone.
Chris PhillipsFebruary 23, 2016Scandi-tastic. Good bespoke espresso, with rotating guests from The Barn. Sparkling water served alongside the espresso shots!
Excellent coffee, and brilliant vegetarian options. They always seem to make sure there's a gluten free and vegan option too. Staff are really friendly and accommodating too.
Helen VictoryNovember 3, 2017I totally recommend this place. Coffee is excellent! And the brioche with mascarpone and berries... love it!
Lidia VorontsovaMarch 4, 2017Really good coffee and really good food. That's all there is to it. The high rating is 100% deserved.
- Abdulaziz Bin KhenaynMay 26, 2017Definitely the best speciality coffee in Manchester. You need to try the filter coffee.
Susanna B.August 15, 2019Work friendly, cozy place to have a good coffee. Friendly staff and vegan options!
Ryan TaylorFebruary 2, 2016Best coffee shop in town. Staff are awesome, food and drink is delicious, atmosphere is welcoming. Regularly here, can't say enough about it.
Linda LMay 17, 2019Great breakfast spot. Try the porridge. Really tasty. And they have kombucha! Recommend it.
Ask the baristas how they'd take the brew, and do it. Even if it's not how you'd usually take it. They really know their stuff!
Ricardo YeowartNovember 27, 2017Good vegan cakes and nice coffee. Brilliant selection of old Nat Geos to read dating back 50 years!
Sam MOctober 22, 2016Great coffee, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. On the more expensive side of things but definitely coming back for the French toast.
Nice place, good for working, coffee is great and the food is really good too
One of the very coffee shops in Manchester where you can enjoy a consistently great coffee and have a chat with the owner and staff.
Behrouz JafarnezhadJanuary 22, 2020One of my favourite spots in the area. Coffee's pretty good, and so is the vibe. Can get really busy.
Robert GreenDecember 30, 2014Very tasty house blend and incredibly chilled environment! Good meeting place for third wavers ;)
MadisonDecember 1, 2014Best coffee in Manchester, hands down. The staff are friendly and welcoming and they offer Bon Soy here, too. 💕

VSandraJuly 11, 2015Great flat white. Perfect place for work. Takes a while to connect internet though..
RFebruary 15, 2016Superb coffee! would definitely recommend this as a place for a good brunch & excellent coffee 😍
Julia San JuanMarch 12, 2013Best drip coffee in the universe!! Order it black. It's still as incredible, smooth and sweet as anything ever created.
Favourite combo is a MAC sandwich and a large latte 👌
Ish MahdiJuly 23, 2016Great coffee, nice little desserts! Lovely little place to chill in the northern quarter.
Martin WeibyeJune 3, 2016Undoubtedly the best coffee in Manchester. Buying my weekly load of coffee beans here
TJ HarropJanuary 4, 2019Great coffee. Giant cups as per the USA/UK style but the flat white is great.
Strong breakfast and brunch action, plus damn fine coffee.
- prima filiMay 24, 2015Nice décor and staff. Food was imaginative and yummy, and the flatv white was pretty decent. Gets really busy/loud.
Anthony ZacharzewskiFebruary 10, 2017Great coffee, but despite its Scandinavian name the cinnamon bun was just an (oily) Danish pastry.
Paul DeloozeJanuary 29, 2014Great coffee, great cake and a brilliant atmosphere. Wish I could spend more time there.
David AllardyceOctober 19, 2013Chilled out café. Great sandwiches and coffee. Free wi-fi. Bring a laptop so you fit in :)
