Absolutely average. Average selection of food, nothing away from the norm. Ok quality but don’t leave dealing like you have had an amazing breakfast. Coffee is also weak, even with ordering extra shot in a long black. Had to go back and ask for them to do another shot. Seems singles are the standard here not doubles. Disappointing for a coffee house. Much better coffee and breakfast spots in the city. But if it’s close and you need some sustenance wouldn’t go out of my way to avoid it. Just bear in mind the above and maybe ask for two extra shots if you like a strong coffee.
Nice relaxed atmosphere. Slightly overpriced. Staff were friendly.
Wasn’t busy when we arrived and there were plenty of waiting staff.
However waited extremely long time for a toasted bagel and a ham/cheese croissant.
Eventually had to ask waiting staff who were very apologetic and gave us complementary drinks.
When it arrived the waitress apologised again and said she didn’t know what the kitchen staff were up to today.
Have read previous reviews about overly long waits for food. Maybe the management team need to look into this and see what is causing the issue.
We just wanted to grab a quick breakfast but turned into the opposite.

Been many times to this lovely cafe with plenty of space to sit and sip coffee. A good range of specialities hot drinks, such as beetroot latte. Lovely latte art by the one of the barista. Breakfast and brunch were good with vegan friendly options. But there was once my breakfast bun was quite burned on the top. Also breakfast bowl has quite strong flavours (featuring onions) for the start of the day which might suit some but not others. Service can be slightly slow at times especially when it gets busy so be mindful of this if you are in a rush or have a train etc to catch.
Over priced coffee and food. Had a chicken and bacon sandwich (cold and £7) an oat milk flat white(£4) coffee tasted a little burnt.
The atmosphere is lovely especially for people who want to work in coffee shops. Other than that I feel robbed.

There are so many foundation coffee house shops around the city of Manchester, that it's definitely one of the to-visit list. Attracted by its store environment, let's say the food was ok, but the menu doesn't offer many choices. Don't recommend the croissant. The oreo milkshake was very good!
My friends came here specifically for coffee but as I'm a non-coffee drinker, I ordered Matcha Latte.
Everything was ordered via their QR code and you'd go to their counter to collect the drinks. Service was minimal.
The Match Latte was ok. Very frothy, not milky or creamy but had a kick of umami flavour of the matcha. The texture was not what I expected and so I was somewhat disappointed but the flavour was spot on.
However, my friends were disappointed with their coffee. Despite being a coffee house, they were just average in my friends' opinion. Nothing to rave about.

An interior that's designed better than its coffee is served. Perhaps the extensive brunch menu offers more. Slow and disorganised service.
First dine in meal when landing to Manchester, such a pleasant experience to try out the smoothies and brunch. Very healthy choice of ingredients and I appreciate the well thought of plate presentation:) the staff were all friendly and definitely a must go place to grab a coffee or tea with a laptop.
One tiny improvement could be the ventilation. The oily cooking odours were quite strong to make me feel uncomfortable to breathe in continuously, would recommend to utilise a more powerful range hood at the restaurant.
