The Best Cafes in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

The food was great, staff were lovely and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. Went for brunch with a friend and had a lovely time here. Did not manage to catch the staff’s name (might have been the owner) but he was very friendly and made us feel welcome. He gave us the tea on the house and overall provided a wonderful service. Definitely recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this lovely establishment, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that my experience was nothing short of perfect. The coffee was fabulous—rich and flavorful, just the way I like it. But what truly stole the show was the food! Not only was it delicious, but I was thrilled to find gluten-free options available, making it easy for everyone to enjoy a meal. The ambiance of the place is gorgeous, with a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. Despite being busy on a weekday lunch, the energy only added to the charm. It’s no surprise that it’s a popular spot! Overall, I had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for great service, fantastic coffee, and delicious food in a beautiful setting, make sure to check this place out!

Outstanding food and service to match. Spicy Prawn and Chorizo was bloody amazing. And my girlfriend said her chicken and pesto hummus was a "taste explosion", proper lit up after the first bite. Also I was recommended the Hugo Spritz from Justin the owner and it was exactly what I was looking for. First visit here for my girlfriend's birthday but it won't be our last.

Amazing atmosphere, very well made cocktails. You can see the owner has spared no expense on ingredients for drinks or food. Shout out to Justin and the lovely lady hosting 👏🏽👏🏽 10/10 would recommend, especially with friends. Music was top, very fitting for the type of place x

Another Coffee Shop, a little away from the centre, but worth a visit. The flat white wasn't too hot and the coffee tasted interesting, certainly not bland or dull. The staff were very friendly and quite chatty as it wasn't too busy. I didn't explore but sat in the window watching the little world of Altrincham go by. I'll definitely walk a little further than the centre to have my coffee there again.

A highlight of Altrincham. Top quality speciality coffee, flat whites are delicious if a little hot. Great selection of cakes, friendly staff, and modern decor.

Sean and his team at Two Brothers Coffee in Altrincham are simply wonderful. I have always experienced a warm and friendly welcome and the coffee is amazing. We actually buy our roasted coffee beans from Two Brothers too, they are roasted on site and we've never been disappointed with the blends. If you've never visited them before, I definitely recommend them!

Amazing coffee! The menu is so special and unique serving amazing coffee like honeycomb latte. The food took more than half an hour to arrive but it was worth it. The only thing is no baby changing table inside the toilet. Hope the owner can install it to make the cafe baby-friendly! And it is NOT dog-friendly and hope I can bring my fluffy baby in the future.

Had a nice lunch at this lovely cafe after some shopping at the Altrincham Retail Park. The arch and interior design is amazing! Totally a cozy place for me-time and chill out. Their Parma Ham Pesto Cheese Bagel was delicious and the Rose Latte has become my favourite drink! The owners are very friendly and welcoming! Have to come back for their dessert next time!

A nice place to sit and have a drink. Tried the Iced matcha latte and the cinnamon bun and they were great! People are friendly and the decor is nice and modern. It's a much needed small cafe with a great menu, near the retail park, where all you can find otherwise is generic bland food and drink!!

Some of the best coffee we’ve ever had. The Spanish Lattes here are exceptional. The Biscoff brownie is soft with a slighty crispy perfect outside. Attention to detail with the coffee machine door handles. I think it’s up there our top 5 of the best coffees shops we’ve ever experienced throughout our travels. The others being - L8 - Sofia Bulgaria, - Tinel - Trogir Croatia, - Ralph’s - Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, - Rain - AbuDhabi UAE

Have to say, this "hiden gem" can offer a really good quality food and absolutely fantastic layout of the place, very central in Altrincham, two minutes walk from free parking facilities at Tesco Express. Big downstairs dining area with several tables and game boards when families come together. Very resenoably priced! Crispy Chicken is a must, absolutely srcampsious and Highly recommend!

We were looking for place to have some small bites and found this cute place. Interesting ambience and staff friendly and warm. I usually don't like bubble tea, she was kind enough to give me options of various flavours available and I liked it. Google map took us to different location and we somehow found our way out.

I came today just to buy bubble tea but the lady offered if I buy one large I would get one medium free. Such a lovely person she is. Place was amazing too mostly very affordable. Would love to come again.

One of my all time favourite coffee shops. I’m very fussy about my espresso and they really know how to create magic here, food is also delicious and it has Seattle vibe with the cool music 💜

Simply the best flat white coffee I’ve had, lovely interior & staff with a very welcoming atmosphere. 100% must try in Altrincham.

09/11/22: enjoyed a lovely coffee mocha made with coconut milk. However, it could have been served hotter. A good selection of croissants & cakes tempted me. Sat on LD24's Terrace overlooking the market and Greenwood Street. Dog friendly. Despite being in Altrincham over 12 months, seems it needs to up its identity by owning it's own Facebook page and not falling into the shadow of LD24 Stockton Heath. The age of Social Media could well transport this second LD24 shop to bigger and better things. The coffee is fantastic, the shop is understated and overlooked. Well worth a visit!

They're one of the best cafes around. Staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. They'll get more customers if they offer more food types, like pastries and cakes.

My friend and I went for breakfast and the whole experience was lovely. I had the vegan breakfast and I'm a big eater but I couldn't finish it which is a massive thumbs up from me. My friend had a version of what I remember Welsh rarebit used to be, they said it was amazing. The person that served us, Lilly was so lovely, very attentive and not just to us but everyone else. If want somewhere to go in altrincham for good and great staff this is your place. Also they're dog friendly. So much so they have special sausages for them.

The Korean chicken sandwich is absolutely amazing! Best sandwich I have ever had!🤩

If you haven’t tried this place yet, do it ASAP! They have extensive and creative menus with all healthy and fresh options! They had my favourite American ones too! The pulled beef brisket with egg was absolutely yummy! Very friendly staff and amazing service! Absolutely recommended!

I went today for the first time and I have to say how impressed It was very quick service, all the staff were friendly and pleasant. my food and drink was delicious and the man who made my coffee done a really nice Patton overall very good experience. I will be definitely coming back I couldn't reccomend any more

Lovely little coffee shop with a book swap library. Ideal to get off the street from the hustle and bustle of shopping. Staff were really lovely, my drink was too big to drink before I had to leave and it was no trouble putting it into a take out cup, thank you! X

On a hot day in August we popped in for an afternoon drink. This is a large open plan coffee house serving a range of artisan coffee soft drinks and warm toasted snacks. Much like many of the other chains out there but less well know. It was very quiet and had a nice calm feel and, delight of delights, working aircon. This venue is in the main shopping precinct so walking access is good but no parking. We had cold drinks on ice so all was as expected. Wide spaces so wheelchair friendly. Reasonable prices compared to other similar premises. Nothing remarkable but nothing terrible either. If you found my review helpful I would be grateful for a 👍

Friendly service, excellent flat white - nice and hot which is just what I wanted; always a disappointment if your coffee is served lukewarm. Was nice and quiet, pleasant surroundings and a good selection of food and snacks. All round a good coffee shop.

Lovely people with good service. Tasty food. Good drinks. #RecommendedbySollyDj As the only non white person in this whole restaurant.. I felt a bit weird going here but I was glad the staff were lovely. I liked the fresh orange juice. The food was well presented and tasty. Would definitely go back. Parking on the road outside the market area is payable but limited to 2 hours in certain areas.

We come in without expectations since it was a spontaneous breakfast visit. We ordered from the special menu of the day. We loved the food, the presentation was amazing, and the taste was 5 stars. I would recommend people to order from that memlnu if they visit you won't regret it. Also, coffee was such a good quality. They come at a warm temperature ready to drink, so if you want to drink while you eat, order them after you have ordered food.

Excellent choice for a vegan lunch. Waitress very friendly and helpful and recommended The Longford sandwich. It was busy however we waited only 15 minutes before being served by our lovely waitress. I wasn't expecting my sandwich to be so impressive as I'm often disappointed with vegan food eating out. The Longford is a sandwich with Houmous, Roasted Aubergine, Spiced Tomato Chutney & Organic Leaf on Sourdough. This was a generous portion and the Houmous was the tastiest I've had. Parsley freshened the pallet and the chutney was a perfect addition to the Houmous. I enjoyed every mouthful. It was a delight to have a well presented vegan option. Highly recommend this and at £11 felt it was good value for the portion size and quality. I would definitely visit again. Thank you to the staff and cooks! Photo has sandwich with 1 bite taken by me.

Came for breakfast this morning on a whim because I was visiting Altrincham and was thoroughly impressed, food was first class and my friend said the mushrooms where the best she had ever eaten but everything was so good! All the staff were pleasant and happy to help ,the atmosphere was relax . I was impressed by everything but especially the decaf latte which was the very best. Will be back to experience more of the menu and those beautiful looking cakes that were tempting me

Previously just been for brunch and coffee (which are great) but they have just started doing burgers in the evening. Don’t hesitate and go. Soon. Best burger and fries I’ve ever had.

Great little new independent cafe, with a very warm, modern take on a french jazzy cafe vibe. Think lots of warm wood, and soft pink and greens. Heard the hype, and since my first visit I have probably spent way too much time in there than I should have. In my experience, it comes across as a great local , that is dynamic in meeting it's customers needs. My feeling is that it's not a particularly extensive menu - but more targeted with emphasis on quality and an extremely well executed breakfast/brunch menu. Most importantly for me...and without question.. THE best coffee in South Manchester ( @grapefriutcoffee would be a very close second in Sale). Great choice of craft beers - I've personally not tried the wine, but the selection looks extensive and we understand it to be from our favourite wine bar @reserveataltymarket..but without the walk. I have a massive soft spot for their home-made donuts.Unfortunately though, later on the weekends, they appear to have sold out of most and I've missed out a couple of times. Finally...the cocktails are ridiculous. We have happily worked our way through the set cocktail menu over the last few Friday nights. They also do classics I've found out. (I am more of a whisky sour or espresso martini fan). Recommended! Weirdly.. I never review some of my local hang outs..only when I travel I tend to feel the need, but this place is special and happy to share. Oh-so very thankful this place has appeared on our doorstep. One questionable review was motivation to bring me here. I support independent local businesses in Alty.. and obviously want them to succeed. No one likes a Ba-ba-ra-ra. ;-/ 11/10 for all my dog walking, family time, couple night needs!!

What a lovely, local, little find. We heard about a bloc from a friend who lives locally. We went for brunch on Saturday. There was a 20 minute wait to get seated but the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered the Columbian Lunch and my partner got the Chicken Soup. Both were truly excellent. The coffee was perfect and we took away a jam as well as blueberry cheesecake doughnuts. Overall, a perfect lunch. Staff were always on hand and the restaurant its self was beautiful and well cared for.
