This cafe is my favourite cafe. It is quirky I love its cosiness and vintage style. The food is lovely and made fresh. Trish and her team are welcoming and very friendly. I have had breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea here at The Tea Cup Cafe. Along with Birthday cakes made to order. All were so good. This year I got married and asked Trish if it would be possible to hold our wedding reception here. We opted for afternoon high tea. Trish and her team decorated the room beautifully. They served warm canapés of the best sausage rolls and quiche I had ever tasted with mushroom vol au vents and cream cheese bites. Accompanied with Prosecco, sandwiches and the most amazing cakes, scones and mini trifles. Trish surprised us with a beautiful wedding cake which tasted AMAZING. I cannot thank Trish and her team enough for giving us the most perfect afternoon and making it so special for us.

Started going here once a week for breakfast. Had a tasty English breakfast with 2 pieces of toast. All beautifully cooked. Also had a cappuccino. Lovely service. Keep promising to have something else because everything sounds lovely but just love the cooked breakfast.

Lovely place to eat. The ladies are all very friendly and helpful. Eaten here a few times but the turkey club stood out, very tasty. They have different lattes which is nice and a selection of alcoholic beverages along with tea and soft drinks. Can't wait to try the afternoon tea 😊

Always eat here every week and love the food and the service we received. The below 1 star comment is rubbish they did want to pay for the food (just wanting a free meal) they were threatening towards staff (I was there!) I ate the same food and it was cooked to perfection and there nothing wrong with the food quality as they both came out the same time. How can people do this to a lovely local small business? I would wholly recommend!!! Food is well priced delicious and all home made. I’ve eaten breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and some of the delicious homemade cakes and the only feeling I have received is fullness and content. Trish, Nigel and the team do a fantastic job and go above and beyond for their customers and team.

Delicious flat white and very good lunches. I had the avocado on toasted focaccia, and it was delicious and was a very generous portion. We sat out the back in quite a large seating area. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. Great place for lunch after a walk

I met friends here for lunch last week. I had never been before, but one of my friends is a regular. The food was good, with plenty of veggie options, and the young women serving were fantastic! I didn’t have my dog with me but several other people did, and dog-friendly indoor venues are rare and appreciated. The downsides were that parking and access are difficult, and the space is a bit echoey and loud. I’d be happy to visit again, but I won’t rush back.

Great food as usual, very full and luckily for a table. Love the artist feel to the place. Had the pork pie lunch - lovely! Update: new menu is more expensive which is a shame. Quesquidilla is £8.50 Chips is £4.25 2 of us cost £33 which is quite steep. Can't fault it though for friendly staff and good food and drinks though.

I’ve only ever been to federal on Oxford Road but this one is equally amazing. I swear by the French toast !! And I’d never tried a sandwich from there before but the steak sandwich doesn’t disappoint, steak is so perfectly cooked and so tender. The staff are absolutely amazing too !! I think it was the manager that found a table for us to sit at because ours was wobbly!

Visit two of their branches it really didn’t disappoint. If I’m not mistaken this is the biggest branch compared to the other. I have to queue for 15 minutes ish to be able to get a seat. The vibes lively yet warm and cozy, not to mention the friendly staff. Coming here twice both ordered Turkish eggs always, it was creamy, fulfilling also has interesting sauce, for another order we tried french toast it was superb. Coffee was top notch, the drink also has various options depending on your preferences. Must visit if you’re in Manchester! No wonder it’s super popular

Have always been impressed by the delicious breakfast and lunches here. Particularly enjoy the sweetcorn fritters and french toast. Lovely friendly service, despite always being very busy. Often a queue for a table but always worth waiting

Had an enjoyable time here! The place is so welcoming with all the wooden decor. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind. There’s quite a lot of options for both drinks and food. We have ordered a sour cream salmon bagel and a steak sandwich with scrambled eggs. Everything tastes amazing, especially the sandwich. I’ve ordered a matcha which said it’s non-sweetened. It tastes just right and not too milky.

Went for brunch today at Ezra & Gil (Helper and Happiness) Hilton Street Manchester. Our server was Kate, she was very helpful and let us change scrambled eggs for poached on 1 of the brunch orders. We asked for the drinks to come with the food so you don't get the drinks first, and then have to order more she was very concerned if we had any allergies, which was excellent. We ordered French toast which was amazing, and 2 breakfasts, the scrambled eggs were the best my wife has ever had and my poached eggs were nice and runny, the food came quickly and was very well cooked and hot Dog friendly always a bonus, lots of high chairs were also available for young families, great mix of customers, both old and young, you can also buy their products , coffee beans and bread, takeaway also available, recommend checking this establishment out, you can also get alcohol .

It was my first time visiting and it definitely will not be my last! Me & my partner were seated quickly with a warm welcome and explained the menu and how to order. The bloody Mary’s were to die for, possibly the best I’ve ever had! The food was fresh and delicious and always served with a smile, worth every penny!

Came for brunch this morning and have to do a special shout out to Abbi, who was so accommodating and lovely! I'm 35 weeks pregnant and she went above and beyond and even though it was so busy, she found me somewhere to sit whilst waiting and even made sure I got a suitable table plus providing service with a smile! The food and coffee was fab too!

The design is perfect, the concept is perfect the presentation is perfect. Despite the fact that they’re busy especially on a Sunday, the waiting time for your food is short. The coffee is good (most coffees in Manchester tastes stronger compared to London but this place was good!) I’d say this place is a must visit if in Manchester!

American style pancakes. Large, sweet, and delicious. They also do savoury pancakes. The place is quite popular, with limited seating, so you might end up queueing without a booking. Only a single toilet like in typical coffee shop, when the place is more structured like a cafe/bistro. They need more restrooms.

We (American & Brit living in MCR) brought our American visitors to Moose Coffee for Brunch last week before heading out on a busy day of a Manchester walking tour. We all enjoyed our coffee drinks and hearty brunch although a bit disappointed we couldn’t make the slightest substitution (can’t add cheese to eggs - which is very American btw). Nonetheless, the food arrived hot and tasty and we were not rushed at all, which was a nice feeling. My husband especially enjoyed the Bronx Brunch and singled out the hash as being particularly delicious and I thought the side of avocado was ripe and delicious and the portion was enough to share with 3 of us. The staff are friendly, decor is fun and the vibe is cool. We all enjoyed ourselves and we’d recommend to others but definitely make reservations if you’re going on a weekend or lunch as there’s limited seating. Busy busy on a Tuesday afternoon so imagine weekends! Not as ‘American’ as advertised but streaky bacon so we were happy. Overall a nice place for good, fresh food and good coffee in Manchester, and very clean too.

This place under promises on the outside and over delivers on the inside. It looks like your average high street cafe, then you step in to a quirky cool place to eat. Service was perfect & food was 5 star, definitely worth the money. I would recommend this place for breakfast we had the Manc Muffins and they are better than a McDonalds one.

Had the Big Yin because I was craving some haggis and needed to fuel up for a big day. Every meat was savory and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a more well-rounded meal, you may want to get something else as it did end up being quite a bit of meat. The portion sizes are deceptively big for the price, I wasn't even close to getting through it all! The staff was really attentive despite how busy the place was. Would definitely come back to try that Manc Breakfast next time I'm in town.

We tried 3 kinds of food they have and they were all quite nice. Especially impressed by their seasonal special bailey french toast in its moist texture and plenty of flavouring! Club sandwich was giant and fried chicken was seasoned well. Pancake is however not as expected as it turned out a bit too “sticky”and not fluffy enough for me. It is still a lovely place for brunch in the neighbourhood / Oldham. I think I will come visit again.

Had a lovely visit to Diggle Lock, unfortunately was only stopping for a quick coffee (and a cookie once my attention was grabbed at the till) Coffee was lovely along with an amazing gooey cookie to go with it! The atmosphere was very nice, we visited close to closing time so was rather empty but I could tell just from the layout and design how nice of a spot this was! They had a nice log burner in the corner that was perfect for the post winter walk! Would recommend!
