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

Had a wonderful experience today at the tea cup cafe! Had the festival afternoon tea which was lovely. The atmosphere was so Nice and Cosy and the staff were such a delight to be around. Could not reconmend anymore 👌🏼

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.

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 😊

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.

Had the Turkish breakfast and it was sooo good. Really cute little place. Nice atmosphere and lovely food. I’m attempting to eat breakfast in every Gatley cafe. I’ve done about half. This is my fave place so far

Absolutely love Zalo’s The menu has a great selection and the food is always so yummy. My favourite at the moment are the Pancakes with fruit and Nutella. I clearly come here too often! Definitely recommend checking Zalo’s out if you haven’t already. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere of this place is lovely.

Whilst out looking for a decent breakfast I came across this place. Take away full breakfast for £8.25 including toast. Good portion at this price with the beans in a separate carton. The only thing missing is black pudding & maybe some sautéed potatoes 🙂. Overall a decent breakfast from a nice little cafe with friendly staff. Definitely go again.

Really lovely little cafe. Very reasonable prices. The young man that served us was very friendly and was kind to my daughter, bringing us a kids menu and some colouring items to keep her happy. Thanks so much for being so welcoming.

Best service around, awesome sausage butty, family run by an adorable family, very accommodating and so much to look at, plus a bonus that it's like a library, you can borrow any book you like :-) 10 out of 10. Oh and how could I forget, it's dog friendly too :-) bonus for me as I'm a dog walker :-)

Had amazing club sandwich with a refreshing milkshake great atmosphere really welcoming overall a delightful place definitely a must if in the area

Lounge 66 hosted my baby shower. Derek and his tea were excellent from the moment I made the booking. Beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for making it a special occasion!

Fantastic Quality breakfast great coffee and lovely owners .You can swap and borrow books there too. Lovely little find. I would recommend booking a table . Open Wednesday Thursday Friday 9-3 Saturday 9.30-3

What a shock this place is on an industrial estate in wythenshawe ! The staff, cleanliness and food is first class! Go take a look! big industrial unit, very modern funish8ngs and also a community shop with great deals! We were shocked and going back this week, and our favourite place to eat and the food prices and drinks are unbeatable for the price! it's worth a trip 💫 ps also fantastic to find a place that isn't worried about this being a christian founded operation built on Christian values, helping people get back on course, brilliant in times where we find the faith of our country attacked daily even by the leader of the Christian church in the uk.

One of the favourite places in the local area. Staff is super welcoming, friendly, always in a good mood, food is served beautifully, menu is great too. Prices are very reasonable. We come there sometimes only for a coffee which is greatly made, otherwise we come for our regular dishes (full breakfast and smashed avocado sourdough) and every single time we leave happy. Big thumbs up to the staff and purpose of this cafe. Fully support.

Worked a project next door and visited the cafe for a hot drink and relax after I’d finished filming. The volunteers behind the counter were friendly and welcoming, engaging and the Hot Chocolate I had was 10/10. Highly recommended!

Great Ray treat everybody special well worth a visit .I like the Sausage egg on toast take out

Rays eggs Benedict 😍 always the best! Lovely runny poached eggs, beautiful hollandaise. The girls who work there are so lovely & so is Ray! Always remembers you if you have been once or 10 times. Great place

One of favourite coffee spots in South Manchester. A must try for any coffee lovers in the local area or passing by!

We find it so difficult to find great coffee. We definitely found it here. Food was also delicious. First time going but won’t be the last. Highly recommend.

Love Coffee Fix. The food is delicious and decent sizes. It's also very cosy at the moment and the decorations are gorgeous. It does get very, very busy as (rightly so) it is very popular, so bear this in mind. The vegan breakfast was delicious. Great choices for kids too.

Amazing place for a date is you dint mind hearing the odd child scream. Was a lovely time spending my wife Birthday here , she staff was fantastic and helped with differnt ways to paint and use the tools they have. The food was way better then what you expect for a cafe and I highly recommend going here! Only thing to consider is you get about 2 hours for your table booking so be awere of your time.

Had a great time at the ‘after dark’ session - loved bringing our own bottle for drinks and made some very cool art with friends. Would make a lovely date night too.

We travelled from London to try this pottery painting cafe and it was AMAZING! The staff are so kind and lovely, and the overall atmosphere is very chill and cosy. It is well layed-out and everything is easy to find. They give you enough time to paint and have some food and drink if you’d like which is a plus. It was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend. Will be revisiting next time I am in Manchester.

Such a fab experience from the moment you walk in! The staff are all so lovely and attentive and it's such a cool environment for painting pottery and doing a clay imprint! Food is also delicious, definitely be going back!

Love this place great home cooked food at affordable prices.

Brilliant cafe, lovely staff and great food. Always get a good cup of tea here and the breakfasts are the best around

Always go here for breakfast with family, food is hot, good quality, plenty of it and delicious. You get service with a smile and if you want something 'tweaked' off the menu they always try to accommodate. We also used Cwtch's outside catering for our Dad's funeral, everyone commented how good the buffet was, especially the home made sausage rolls and home made cakes. They even catered for our vegetarian and gluten free friends. We also needed a small separate buffet for the sheltered accommodation which Cwtch put together little picnic boxes, these were also well received. I would deffinately recommend Cwtch for outside catering.

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 .

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!

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!

A super friendly diner with a great menu - I had the Turkish Eggs which turned out to be a great choice for brunch. Highly recommended 👍🏻

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.

Really nice place for breakfast if visiting Manchester. Food was delish we had Turkish eggs and American pancakes. Reasonable prices and the staff were really friendly.
