Came with my mum and sister for Afternoon lunch, the food was lovely but the cakes were amazing! The staff were so lovely, would highly recommend the Afternoon lunch and maybe take a slice of cake home with you 😋

Engage your inner child when you climb on board.It pays to think small. Don't think how well they do it, just wonder that they can do it at all. It's a great place for a light lunch or afternoon tea, booking is probably advisable as space is kinda limited. It's the only place I've eaten where geese look through the window to check out your food. I wish them all the best in their endeavours, but I'd probably change the bread rolls.

Very lovely little tearoom runs by the locals. The price is reasonable. Recommended to book in advance.

Safari is a really cute and cosy narrowboat! The decor is great and having the wood burner going in winter feels great. The staff were really friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We had breakfast and will be back again for breakfast! The cakes looked amazing too! The latte was really good too.

I had such a lovely breakfast experience here. I pre ordered and booked the day before for a late morning vegetarian breakfast. The owner was very quick to respond to my social media messages and happily made adjustments to my order. Food was delicious and service was very quick. Condiments were offered and a toilet is available inside. Seating available outside during good weather. Takeaway orders are taken. The boat was warm, cosy and full of character. The owner was really friendly and asked us questions about ourselves and built up a good rapport. Will definitely return

Lovely little coffee shop. It's fantastic to find a place that opens at 8am, especially since I'm vegan and most places I frequent open later. They offer a delightful range of vegan and veggie cakes. Today, I enjoyed a Chai Latte with oat milk—it's the best I've had, thanks to their strong chai spice blend that delivers a robust flavor. We also had an espresso, which was very fruity and a great coffee. We tried a vegan chocolate mini cake with espresso cream. It was delicious, not too sweet, and the frosting was light. The low music creates a calm environment in the morning, perfect for having conversations at a normal level and truly appreciating your drink and food. Thank you! This will definitely become our new go-to spot.

🐢 Great addition to Withington cafes! Warm and friendly atmosphere every time we’ve visited. ☕️Owner Theo is lovely and has sourced the best coffee (Kobean and Swan Song) and served in beautiful handmade ceramic mugs make your brew feel extra special. 🥐They also serve the best pastries from independent suppliers across Manchester (the Almond pain au chocolate from La Choquette was incredible 🤤) and the sandwiches using local seasonal veg were delicious. Thoroughly recommend!

Les was amazing from the moment we placed an order with him. We ordered a kinder Bueno cake for my son’s first birthday and it exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful and tasted delicious. All of our guests enjoyed it and the sandwiches and pie platter was perfect. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you so much!

Heaven! May not be to everyone’s taste but the Berrylicious French Toast was perfect. The right amount of tautness mixed with just the perfect level of sweetness. Admittedly I was initially confused by the candy floss topping thinking to myself why on earth put a ball of cotton as a topping for the toast 🙈. A definite must visit.

Had breakfast early Sunday morning. My wife and I had the Halal breakfast and my son had the Avocado Crash. Every bite was amazing - fresh, delicious, well prepared. Perfect. And a huge portion - definitely value for money. The staff were really friendly, efficient and helpful. A great shame we're not local, but we'll absolutely be back at every opportunity to be in the area!!

Visited on several occasions recently for breakfast, as working nearby. Food was very nicely cooked, service was friendly & efficient, despite on occasions the place being very busy. Eclectic decor, which made a pleasant change. Quirky indie music soundtrack playing which I also enjoyed. If I lived nearby I'd be a regular for sure. Heartily reccomend a visit if in the area.

A little gem in the area. I enjoyed the atmosphere and customer service from the staff. There are lots of little things which might make you smile, like the Lego salt and pepper shakers. I ordered a latte and it was nice and smooth. The coffee went well with the small full breakfast. The only disappointment was the sad looking bacon. It's a pet friendly place.

Omg.... as always, you girls put that smile back on my face and filled my tummy. I'm just in the mood for cleaning now.

A Delightful Sunday Lunch Experience at South Station Levenshulme My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at South Station in Levenshulme, and it was an experience that left us thoroughly impressed. Accompanied by my wife and our two grown-up daughters, we were treated to a memorable Sunday lunch that felt like a quintessential London dining experience, right in the heart of Levenshulme. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the roast lamb and roast chicken, both cooked to perfection. The lamb was tender and flavorful, while the roast chicken was succulent and well-seasoned. Each dish was accompanied by a delightful selection of sides that complemented the mains beautifully. For dessert, we indulged in rhubarb pie and sticky toffee pudding. The rhubarb pie was a lovely balance of tart and sweet, with a perfectly flaky crust. Meanwhile, the sticky toffee pudding was rich and decadent, a true treat for the senses. The wine selection was commendable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Merlot I chose. It paired wonderfully with the meal, enhancing the flavors of both the lamb and the chicken. Beyond the food, the service at South Station was exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Their warm hospitality contributed significantly to the overall enjoyment of our lunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant deserves special mention as well. South Station has successfully created a space that exudes a certain charm and elegance, reminiscent of a London eatery. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing Sunday lunch with family. In conclusion, South Station Levenshulme offers a dining experience that is both delightful and memorable. With excellent food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere, it truly feels like a slice of London right here in Levenshulme. We left with satisfied palates and fond memories, and we look forward to returning for another splendid meal.

Superior experience. We came for a soft brunch around 11am since we had some small bagels earlier in the morning. First we were waiting around 10 mins while being seated. Order was instant. We followed advice from waitress and got pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Fantastic combination. Flat white and English breakfast tea is a must have option. Restaurant has temperament atmosphere; staff is friendly; served food looks excellent every way I was looking at; and important thing premises are clean. For me nice place for tasty morning breakfast or late morning brunch.

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.

Tried the cafe for the first time yesterday. Initially wanted to grab some coffee but ended up having pizza as well. I had mocha, which was really good as not too sweet nor blunt. The Piccolo pizza 🍕, and it was top notch, spicy as it claims.
