Top 5 Coffeehouses in Greater Manchester

8a Gateway House Station Approach Piccadilly Station, Manchester M1 2GH, United Kingdom

“Justifiably earns it's reputation as one of the top places in Manchester to visit! Portions are very generous & incredibly tasty, service is good and patient (especially with big parties & kids) and tje coffee is good too. Be mindful that you really need to book well in advance or likely be disappointed (or have a long wait).”

“Excellent food, service and pricing. Dog friendly and considerate of gluten free senza glutine...highly recommended. Wonderful espresso.”

2 Little Underbank, Stockport SK1 1JT, United Kingdom

“Visited Rhode Island Coffee on the first day of their re-opening. Eye catching refurbishment worth waiting for. Good selection of food and drinks. Very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and pleasant staff. I sat upstairs by the window. Very relaxing. Good background music playing.”

1 Chapel St, Tyldesley, Manchester M29 8FZ, United Kingdom

“What an awesome place! We finally made it over for brunch and loved it. We each had a savoury main (corn fritters and veggie breakfast - both delish) and then got pancakes to share but couldn't finish everything! Really generous portions, great service and good atmosphere. A lot of care put into the food and it shows. Dog friendly which was nice as our pup got to come too. We'll be back for sure.”

Victoria Station, Victoria Station Approach, Manchester M3 1WY, United Kingdom

“This surely feels like a pop up coffee shop in a historic building - it certainly does not deter from the excellent brews and the fast, friendly and efficient service. A sea of tranquility amidst the bustle of the station concourse. Remember to ask for a takeaway if you’re leaving it to the last minute to catch your 🚂”

Lower Bridgeman St, Bolton BL2 1DG, United Kingdom

“A good place to have a coffee. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is conducive to have meetings with friends or clients. Sometimes I also do my work here and always felt welcome. Coffee and hot chocolate are good.”

Market St, Bury BL9 0BW, United Kingdom

“A very nice place to chill with a drink or a nice cocktail . Or just have a bite to eat the pulled pork sandwich is to die for just pop in the morning eggs Benedict lovely for breakfast and if you want it as a brunch the serve it till 4pm”

28 Market St, Manchester M1 1PW, United Kingdom

“went here to redeem a gift card that was received for Christmas. staff was lovely and had patience for our order. used the Costa app and now I have a free drink next time! If you use this code VPXDN you will get bonus points and it will be easier to get a free drink..overall good experience and it is busy because it's in town but still good.”

Unit 2, St John's House, 133 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3WR, United Kingdom

“I've been going to this branch for years now, and the quality almost never changed. Delicious food & fresh cakes/ dessert. I like sitting here alone, reading a book, or doing some work. Nero is great. Regular cappuccino, blueberry cheesecake, and a panini= £10.80 Nero wins, consistency is what makes them the best in Manchester.”

Unit 106 Peel Ave, The Trafford Centre, Trafford Park, Stretford, Manchester M17 8BL, United Kingdom

“This could be a brilliant place to refuel in trafford centre as has all the makings, spacious, nice decor, lots of seating options, but every time I go here it's so dirty I think this was the last time for me at this location. Dirty Cups piled high everywhere you look, food on the floor, tables not cleared. It's as though nobody is cleaning up on a shift. Bit gross and not for me anymore.”

18 Tariff St, Manchester M1 2FN, United Kingdom

“Nice warm friendly atmosphere. The staff greeted me and apologised for not serving me immediately. That was fine but after 5 minutes waiting (no one else in the queue) I was on the point of leaving when they served me. The foccacia sandwich was delicious and delivered within a few minutes of ordering. Tea in a pot was appreciated too (hate tea bag plonked in a mug of water). Cutlery and serviettes were available to help yourself. It would have been a nice touch if they'd offered to bring some over to me. However, overall it's a great place to stop.”

New Radcliffe St, Oldham OL1 1NL, United Kingdom

“Always quiet in here compared to the other costa in oldham town centre, staff seem friendly and coffee is good plus the cake”

147 Heaton Moor Rd, Heaton Moor, Stockport SK4 4HY, United Kingdom

“The presentation was truly unexpected. Floral arrangement on all dishes and attention to detail is impressive, polite well manner family run vibe. If I may suggest remove margarine as a side to your Juno breakfast and add real butter or remove it all together. Loved the art for sale, ambiance was great. Real local gem.”

58 Peter St, Manchester M2 3NQ, United Kingdom

“I recently visited ‘Haunt’ for a coffee and brunch, and it left me with mixed impressions. The food was good; I opted for a sandwich, and the ingredients inside were flavorful and enjoyable. However, I couldn’t help but wish that the bread had been toasted instead of being warmed in a microwave. It’s those small details that can make a big difference in the overall experience. As for the coffee, while I’m not a coffee expert, I did notice a slightly burnt taste that didn’t quite align with my preferences. However, the latte art was well-executed, adding a nice touch to the presentation. Despite my personal taste preferences, I still found it to be an alright cup of coffee. In summary, ‘Haunt’ has its strengths, particularly in the quality of ingredients in their food and the skillful latte art. However, there are some areas, like the where it might benefit from a bit of refinement. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a cozy spot, but it may not be everyone’s top choice.”

Emirates O, Hilton Garden Inn, Brian Statham Way, Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester M16 0PX, United Kingdom

“Always efficient and friendly here. Coffee is still my favourite over other high street coffee stores. Tastes like more authentic Italian coffee. Attached to the Hilton Garden Inn Old Trafford Cricket Ground and accessible through reception as well as from outside en route form the tram stop to Old Trafford Football Stadium.”

33 Tweedale St, Rochdale OL11 1HH, United Kingdom

“As I work all over the north west, I can honestly say this is probably the best cafe/fast food place I have eaten in. Staff are really polite, helpful and friendly. Food is great, comes out hot and fresh, the wait is also a good distance and not waiting ages for your food. If anyone passes by, pop in and eat here. (Seating areas are also great).”

Station Station Road, Edgeley, Stockport SK3 9HZ, United Kingdom

“This Starbucks is the worst of its kind that I have been to globally. The service is surly and very uncomfortable at times. The coffee is hot and that’s all there is to say about that. The food is wrapped in plastic and tastes like masserised rubber. Basically bring ur own if you can this place is pants! Also you don’t get the Starbucks stars and as a regular that’s just cheating”

136 Bury New Rd, Whitefield, Manchester M45 6AD, United Kingdom

“Not been in since it has changed hands and been done up nicely. I went in for a jacket potato to take away. One jacket with cheese and beans to take away was over £6. It wasn't amazing and …”
