The Best Cafes in Ashton Under Lyne, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

We hired the space for my wife's 40th and had the best time. It's a lovely cozy space and Nicola and her staff were on point. Thank you so much for making it such a memorable evening ❤️🙂

Why 5 stars it just years of hard work brining an amazing beautiful cafe with outside seating , fantastic seating inside an amazing menu and amazing coffee to choose from ! They have cozy music evenings enjoy a drink & something to eat ! Making Stalybridge a special place to visit & make memories!

Just got back from hosting my friend’s baby shower here. Just want to say a massive thankyou to Nicola and the staff. From organising weeks ago, nothing was too much of an ask. We had a space to ourselves for 25 people and everything was very organised. The room was decorated so nice ready for us and I was able to arrive 15 minutes earlier to add my own touches. The food was lovely and everyone had a great time. We also added their amazing cake stand, and there was plenty of room for us to play some baby shower games. Thankyou I would definitely recommend and be returning. Xx Hannah

Lovely little place! The lady with the blonde hair couldn’t have been better! She got us soup within minutes as we were in a rush. She also had to deal with a difficult customer on another table and did so politely.

I have a small breakfast and it is always hot and very very tasty the girls are brilliant price great jack

My favourite place for coffee around Ashton i say better then costa and the food is always really good 👍 10/10

Myself and my mother stopped off for a spot of lunch. The food was amazing as always and our server, Estela, was a delight. She was so attentive, welcoming and helpful. We have seen her here before and she is always such a friendly and lovely member of staff.

3rd time coming to Miller and Carter in Ashton and never had a bad experience here! Thank you Jasmine for your service, you’ve been our server on 2 of our visits and both times very good! And thank you for picking my surprise desert! Absolutely delicious every time! Tried the Sunday dinner sharing plate this time and it was definitely on the list of top meals I’ve had.

We came for a much-needed Date Night and had a spectacularly good meal. Jasmine was attentive and looked after my wife's capsaicin allergy with care and consideration. The food was faultless, everything from start to finish was incredible, even the basic elements had little flourishes that elevated them. Special mention to the red cabbage side, the festive bone marrow, and the Pannetone dessert We will be back soon!

Great visit! We were given a warm welcome on arrival. Seated quickly. All staff were friendly, efficient, hard working and super helpful. Our meal was gorgeous and served fresh, well presented and very tasty! Out waitress Estela is wonderful. She has waited on me several times. Every visit, her customer service, work ethic and friendliness is consistently of a very high standard. She works so hard to create a wonderful guest experience.

Went in today and had our regular breakfast but also got the chance to sample the new pizza!!! They were absolutely amazing and compared to some of the best ones I’ve had in Manchester! Staff are all really friendly and helpful and remember you from previous visits! Can’t wait to go in again soon for pizza!

Lovely little tea shop in the middle of Mossley. All the staff we encountered were super friendly and could not have been more helpful. The food was excellent, very fresh and nicely presented. The scones in particular were delicious and the coffee really good too. Returned today to celebrate our sons intimate marriage with an afternoon tea. Bride and groom were made to feel very special. The table had been laid out lovely with pretty tablecloth and vintage tea service. We were rather early but it wasn't a problem and the staff made us feel very welcome. The afternoon tea was delicious and very plentiful with a great range of sandwiches and cakes. They had even got a wedding card for the happy couple. We will definitely be making another visit when in the area.

From the second we entered Louise made us feel so welcomed by her warm character. She was so positive, friendly and overall happy. She really helped us settle in with our massive double pram and baby. No problem was too much for Louise and she really made us feel at home! The food was also really tasty, hot and you could tell the produce was locally sourced.

Coffee is nice but just average, views are good, service is good. Its nice over all.

Lovely cafe normally go in for breakfast. The food is always lovely and the service is good. The bench seating is a little uncomfortable and needs new pillows and they have been out of veggie sausages on the last to visit. But would still recommend

Great cafe with friendly staff and good food. Get there early if possible can be busy from 10 onwards

Firstly be mindful that this place is cash only and won't accept cards. Food here is super cheap and staff are friendly. I ordered a cheese Omelette for breakfast and it was served really quickly. The Omelette was lovely however you could taste that the beans and chips were cheap. Overall I'd eat there again as there's not many places where you can get a breakfast for £5.

I've been coming here since I was a young child, it's a cracking little café, servers always have a smile to share and always welcoming. And the prices haven't changed to dramatically unlike other establishments.

Friendly staff, and a good varied, and reasonably priced menu. Egg and chips for £3, and a coffee for £1.50, for example, is hard to beat. It's close to the market and always quite busy, but that's not surprising. If you want posh food, then it's perhaps not the place to go, but if you want a decent town centre café that serves everyday food at every day prices by every day friendly people, you would be hard pressed to find anywhere better in Ashton. Only had cheese on toast and a drink first time I visited here. Returned a week later for a breakfast that was excellent. Sausage that was succulent without being too spicy, thick bacon than wasn't too salty, nicely cooked egg with yolk that was cooked but still runny, and hot beans and tomatoes. It cost an extra 50p for a slice of toast but even with that added the cost was extremely reasonable (cheaper than a Tesco breakfast for example). Excellently cooked and excellent value. 12 MONTHS LATER Have visited regularly for cooked breakfast. Consistently excellent. Better than anywhere else we’ve ever been for breakfast. Always hot, always great quality, always thick lean bacon and nicely cooked eggs, always friendly and efficient staff, and always a great price.

This was my first time buying a coffee in Ashton, and I really liked the atmosphere in the cafe. The staff were friendly :) and the cakes and muffins were delicious. We also had a cappuccino, It was somewhat good.. I would go back to try their desserts again! 👍🏻

visited this Cafe house for friends breakfast, it was amazing time we spent there, the food was excellent and the service was also amazing, well done guys and thank you

joined my friends for Sunday breakfast at Rosie's and it was well worth the drive from Bowdon, the food was amazing the coffee tasted very fresh.

Food and presentation is lovely, price is expensive for what you get. Inside dining area is clean, cosy and comfortable. Welcoming service from staff 👍🏻

Sitting outside is a lovely place for a bite to eat with views of the canal boats. The menu is basic but its enough. The ice cream scoops are very small for £2

First time my husband and I have visited here. We decided to treat ourselves to a large Sunday breakfast and we can assure you we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, cooked to order, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the near future. Date of our visit 1st October 2023. See you again Tony & Marjorie Lowe

I ate breakfast which was good but too small compared to the price. Quiet, peaceful, nice view from the garden. In the background you can hear animals such as pigs, sheep, chickens, etc.

Alfresco cake I'm aware of this business I have used a few times but not quite often as I used to do. The freshly made food preparation is very good value for your money. Friendly staff service very well organised business even though it's hard for the business owner to continue to do so as specially more so in these pressing times it's hard for any businesses trying to keep servicing the community at the same time trying to survive and own a living.

Really good food, staff very good and helpful, good with children, very nice atmosphere and good prices.

Loving this place open at 7am next to the shops bus station and railway station about 5 min walk ,staff great
