A fantastic little sandwich shop with a really cosy atmosphere and friendly owner. The drinks and food are superb (the cakes are to die for) with some great offers and weekly specials like the Yorkshire pudding wraps. Highly recommended.

Popped in for an impromptu lunch on a Friday in June 2024. I had heard great things about the variety of vegan cakes on offer, so thought we'd try it as we were passing. Unfortunately, as was explained to us, because we were late the vegan cakes had sold out😒 But, whilst there wasn't anything explicitly vegan on the menu, they could adapt some of the items for us. So we had a gorgeous toasted salad styled baguette with balsamic glaze with side salad. The staff were extremely friendly & welcoming &, as stated, were very willing to adjust food options to our dietary requirements. The café is nicely decorated out in a relaxed tredy style & it is also larger than you first think as there is sitting both above & below the ground floor that you walk into off the high street. Take aways are possible, & certainly many took cakes away with them in cardboard boxes. The atmosphere is friendly & relaxed, it has WiFi should you need to have a working lunch, etc. It is a highly recommended place to pop into whether eating in or take away.

Wow! I’ve been coming to Mama J’s for the past year or two to enjoy the odd cup of coffee but today I decided to go for lunch and try some of the food out. Firstly, I discovered a new part of the cafe which has recently been renovated at the back of the building in a small courtyard but very well furnished. The space is beautiful and very peaceful. The food was impeccable and the quality of the ingredients was very impressive. I ordered a BOB from the special menu and it was to die for. Value for money and I would definitely have food there again. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thank you :)

Small place in close quarters with other diners, making it quite noisy. Plenty of seating on the ground floor with more downstairs. The decor creates an ambiance with a cosy atmosphere. Staff very friendly, smiley and happy to help with great table service. About a 30 minute wait for the food. I got the Barbeque Boston Butt (Special) - pulled pork, chorizo, melted cheese on toasted sourdough bread with a side of salad, coleslaw and crisps. A handful of crisps on the side. Small, standard salad with a drizzle of dressing and a smattering of coleslaw. The main focus is clearly the ‘Butt', which tasted great! The pork was well flavoured with the bbq sauce and the cheese well melted. The chorizo was a good addition flavour-wise, but meant that the toppings all easily slid off the toasted sourdough. I also had a cup of tea and cake. The tea was very good, a decent sized cup and a Speculoos biscuit on the side. The carrot cake was very moist, well spiced and full of walnuts. A light, creamy, very complimentary icing, topped with more walnuts. Though I did find the cake fell apart a little too easily, so I had to chase a lot of it around my plate. Overall, a very good place for a tasty lunch.

What a cute little place. Great value and great quality cafe offerings! Stopped in for a takeaway as there was nothing at the train station. I ordered a club sandwich without bacon. I fully expected a tin foil wrapped toastie but instead recieved a lovely box full of a double decker toastie, with extra chicken to account for no bacon, coleslaw, salad and crisps. Delicious! Great decaff flat white (not all decaff is good) and the most delicious brownie (photographed from my train!).

Discovered this charming coffee spot while strolling by the canal, and I'm thrilled I decided to drop in for a coffee. Right away, I was greeted with positive energy, a relaxed ambiance, and fantastic music playing. Friendly staff, full of great banter, and they always wear welcoming smiles. Plus, the coffee here is absolutely excellent! I wholeheartedly suggest paying a visit.

Been visiting Altrincham store for a while now, absolutely rate the coffee 10/10 it’s always spot on, especially recommend their oat milk mocha! Love the coffee so much I even buy the beans for at home now! The aesthetic is really cool and always a lovely vibe. Staff are all really friendly and welcoming.

Really picky about my coffee blend and kick back has the best. So much nicer than the standard coffee chains. Everyone in there is so chill and friendly, they definitely know how to treat & welcome customers to feel like friends over time. Also the best gooey brownies & cinnamon pastries! They know our orders by heart now :)

What can I say! I’ve been coming daily to Kickback for my morning coffee for over three years. The coffee is excellent, that’s a given. It’s meeting Saskia, Harvey, Toby and Chris that makes me want to go daily. They make a great team - everyone is made to feel welcome and special. They work incredibly hard and are a credit to the wider Kickback team. If I could give 6 stars I would!

I ordered a blueberry and orange cake from Erika this past weekend. We always get together to celebrate family birthdays and we've missed two up to now with everything going on - my daughter and nephew. The cake was absolutely stunning and everyone loved it ! It was just so lovely to sit outside on the drive and see everyone for the first time since lock down ! My brother's birthday is next and I will definitely be back thanks you so much xx

My husband (!) and I ordered a cake from The Black Cat Bakery in September for our October wedding as a vegan alternative to our very not-vegan Asian wedding cake. Erika was an absolute delight - she set out all the information we needed to know in advance regarding customisable options she was able to offer, and details on picking up. She called the morning of the wedding to make sure we'd been able to pick up everything smoothly, and we were very pleased. Our friends with alternative dietaries were delighted to be catered for, and told us how much they enjoyed it / how tasty it was. The staff at our wedding venue were able to save some for us, and we've popped it in our freezer to eat around our original anniversary in March. Thanks so much!

I recently ordered the 10" round Almond Cake with chocolate icing and crushed pistachios (vegan, nutty, and free from refined cane sugar) from Erika, and I have to say, it’s hands down the best cake I’ve ever tasted! The combination of the rich almond flavour with the smooth chocolate icing was simply perfect, and the crushed pistachios on top added the ideal crunch. It’s hard to believe that something this delicious is vegan and free from refined sugar—it felt indulgent but guilt-free at the same time! Whether you're vegan or not, this cake is an absolute must-try. Highly recommend!

A heartfelt thank you to Erika at Black Cat Cakery—you are a truly exceptional baker and business owner! The cake was absolutely delicious—vegan, incredibly tasty, perfectly moist, and wonderfully balanced in flavor. I look forward to this being the first of many birthday cakes we enjoy from you.

I ordered the Almond Cake with Rose Buttercream icing and crush pistachios and it was amazing! Everyone at the party was raving about it (even the non vegans and the people who weren’t keen on cake!). We’ve got a few more parties coming up this year and we will absolutely be back!

We had a lovely evening in Capuchin. It was our first time here. We met Rosie when we first went in and she made us feel so welcome. Corey and Emily are a great team here. Corey hosted us mostly on this occasion and it was just perfect. The atmosphere is warm. It was a Friday evening and the place was filled with happy hum of chatter. We can’t wait to go back, we’d such a lovely evening and met some really lovely people :)

Perfect little coffee stop for lunch & a quick caffeine hit! In the outskirts of the city for the day, I only had a short hour to find somewhere to eat & drink - Capuchin was the perfect little location! I initially walked past the door the first time, looking inside but being informed to go someplace else (close-by) which was supposedly the place to go... It was meant to be though because this location was being re-furbished & therefore, I came back here & was glad I did. The food was delicious & the coffee even better! I was served quickly with a friendly smile & the food didn't take too long to come out either. I can't remember how much it all came to but it wasn't a bad price & something totally expected for a good quality brunch & coffee. Would return & recommend a lot in what seems to be a competitive little corner (street). Well done guys!

I popped in for the first time on Saturday afternoon as I was early for a hair appointment. What a lovely little spot! I only ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea, but the service was warm and friendly with the tea piping hot. When I needed it transferred into a take out cup, they were happy to oblige. When in the village next, I will definitely stop by for its unpretentious and welcoming.

Been a regular customer of Otters in a Pot because we loved the authenticity of the Taiwanese bubble tea there. When we found that they offer meal deals recently, we immediately went for a try and the food were scrumptious and value for money! We ordered the minced pork rice, fried chicken noodles and the Hong Kong French toast. Can’t fault and highly recommend!

Cute family-run cafe serving a variety of East Asian snacks and drinks including boba tea and coffees with various toppings. Good value set meals for lunch. Came on a quiet Thursday afternoon and the food came quick. The takoyaki was tasty, will try a combo set with friends next time. The hot dogs were quite filling, they serve them cold due to the special mayonnaise topping. They also have a small collection of classic manga to read here. Will be back especially if they keep the prices this reasonable!

Great bubble tea store! The popping boba has so much flavour! I was a bit confused with the menu, the drink had a strong sweet tea taste when some fruit teas from other places don’t have this taste. And there was lots of foam after I had finished it. And the ice stopped me from getting the boba at the end even though I had less ice. It was still really good, would come again :)

1st time and will repeat!. Menu was not too overloaded but options looked quite nice. I ordered The Don Breakfast Burrito and it was absolutely yummy!. Put the chilli jam to the side as I wasn’t sure if it was going to be too spicy but not at all, the waitress kindly requested it for me. My friend had the Cali Eggs Benedict that you can see on the picture. For drinks I had the Passionfruit Iced Black Tea and again, incredible!. Will recommend 100%!

Visited this place today. Google maps took us to the other side if the river so had to detour, was a bit tricky to find but when at the mill it is signposted. The owner was lovely, friendly and chatty. Cafe itself is a little hidden gem! Lovely decor and a great feel to it. Our food was cooked fresh and the flavours were bang on. Wil definitely return and off course recommend to all reading this! You wont be disappointed. Upon hearing about the homemade pies and sausage rolls he makes we was gutted he had none available. That just goes to show how popular they are!!
