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

Lovely new place. Food & service great. Recommend the Korean Stack!

Really lovely little Bistro with very tasty food. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing and staff engaged with the kids. I had the cajun chicken special which was perfect and my son had the 'Bower Burger' which was huge but he devoured in about 2 minutes as he said it was amazing! If you want a relaxing evening with good food and good drinks at a reasonable price, the Bower is recommended.

Lovely place, went for lunch. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere of the place, I sat in the window seats and it was so nice. I had the Korean Stack which they made vegan for me - it was delicious, I wanted something tasty that wasn’t the same old avo & toast which is normally the standard vegan option - they said as the food is freshly cooked they could just adjust anything on the menu for me - will definitely be going back ❤️

Awesome place for a few drinks with family or friends day or evening. Great food in chilled surroundings.

I visited Hearts for homes with my mum & daughter today for afternoon tea as a Mother’s Day treat. All I can say is that it was quite possibly the nicest cafe I have ever been in. The food was yummy, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great🌟 I would definitely return and recommend. The little touches were the best. Even a little gift bag for all the Mum’s too💗

Oh my goodness. Absolutely amazing lunch. First time we've been and I couldn't be happier. We've added this to our list as somewhere to visit regularly. The staff are so friendly, the lads so served us are the sons of the lady who owns it which we met after in their shop after. She was so nice. We had a proper good natter. The food was fantastic! I had a delicious ham, cheese and onion filled croissant 🥐 the best I've had and after a even more delicious homemade caramel shortbread, the best I've had. I highly recommend this place.

I visited with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and 2 year old daughter for afternoon tea. It did not disappoint. Service was incredible from the minute we walked through the door and the team were so patient and attentive to my daughter too, making the time to ask her which milkshake she's like with her afternoon tea. The entire look of the place was beautiful and clean. The service was incredible and the food had to be some of the best we've had at an afternoon tea (and we've had many!!) The afternoon tea they gave my little girl was incredible and filled with so many treats. We'll definitely be coming back soon!

The home made cakes are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. All the food is freshly made and tasty 😋

Best around. Great food. Great staff. Great prices. Cannot beat it.

Just had a good time relaxing from stressful work in this little lovely place. Hospitable and nice people. The sandwich was my own selection and they made it taste perfect. They even offered me to taste a pie and I thank you guys.

Excellent service as always. Great staff all way a pleasure to visit here.. Parnabys xtreme clean Ltd

Highly recommend this lovely tea room Delicious homemade food Loose leaf tea and freshly ground coffee. Perfect after a walk down the lines.

What a lovely little place! We booked here for bunch as some friends were over visiting and were staying near by. Food and coffee were delicious! Lovely service! Would recommend and go again!

Great location, just before a decent walk. Friendly staff, good prices, plenty of seating plus more seating available in the park.

A lovely little tea room at the end of the Kirklees Trail. They have a great selection of hot and cold food and a cabinet full of delicious looking cakes and other desserts. We both went for the specials that were available on the day and were not disappointed. The corned beef hash was excellent as were the poached eggs - the first runny poached egg I've found from cafes in the Bury area! 👏 Will definitely return and highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Food was amazing. Service fab. Staff professional.

Went here today for the first time and what a find! Lovely decor. Welcoming staff. Good menu. We had the fish sharing platter and it was delightful. Fresh, well presented and yummy. Will be back.

Early evening meal with my wife. Finding the way in was fun. It's on the supermarket side. Warmly welcomed on entry, and taken to our table. Fairly neutral decor. We arrived at 6:00pm and the place was half full. Mainly an older crowd, I'm 58 at the time of writing and was on the young side. Couple of big family groups with kids. Service was good, take a photo of the specials board when you come in...saves you walking about. Everything happened at a relaxed pace, we never felt hurried or ignored. The menu is really good. I'm diabetic so avoid carbs, chips, rice etc. So it was a fish starter and a fish main for me. My good lady had black pud starter and cheese pie main. Just lovely food with decent sized portions. Mains seemed to be around the £18+ side. Two courses each and two drinks and a coffee came to £80 Great value It was absolutely rammed to the rafters when we left about 20 past 7. Really pleased to find this place.

Excellent night’s stay , good evening meal and breakfast,staff brilliant can’t fault this place,beer great.tip if you drink Guinness try there own stout it’s £1.55 a pint cheaper and just as nice 👌

An all round enjoyable stay. Great quality fairly priced food. It was a Sunday and we had the Sunday sharer preceded by tasty fishcakes. The cheeseboard was to duie for too. The room was comfy and spacious as was the bathroom. A star off the room as cleaning wasn't done thoroughly. Otherwise the breakfast was very good and ample parking made this a great stay.

The food here is fabulous, much more than your average breakfast / brunch! So many unique details to the dishes that make them extra delicious. Really nice coffee and cakes too! Staff are always super friendly and service is great. Everything is reasonably priced and there is lots of parking on the surrounding streets (you do have the pay for parking). Highly recommend!

Bloom speaks for itself, the food is fantastic, the breakfast bagel is decadent, brimmed with avocado, egg, streaky bacon, cheese (I added mushrooms) and I didn't want it to end. Wife's food looked amazing, she wanted to lick the plate, I didn't object. So she did. Coffee is delicious too, it's a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by, with delicious food to go with it.

I come here every week .. Best Coffee ever! Food is great too, Cakes are delicious

Visited for brunch. Fantastic that our small dog was welcomed and also given her own water bowl and a sausage😃. Food was good, but unfortunately( but is normal now🙄) only sourdough bread was available, which I detest and 2yr old won't eat.

You always get a warm welcome at Ground Up, the owner is friendly and approachable and this cafe always has a nice relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is excellent and the cakes are amongst the best in Bury. I've not tried any of the other food but some hot food is available and the toasties and sandwiches look good. They also have a pre-paid items board which you can contribute to for anyone in need of food or a hot drink without the means to pay, which I think it's a fantastic idea. It's a great cafe!

Lovely, friendly staff. The coffee and food is amazing. I Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent coffee and fresh food. You won’t be disappointed!

One of the best bacon sandwiches I have ever had! Fantastic coffee and lovely atmosphere. Thanks Mark for my lovely breakfast I will definitely be visiting again soon!

Great coffee and great food!! Service was fast and friendly 💕 all the staff were so lovely and helpful! Loads of vegan/veggie options for me and my friend ! Can’t wait to go back 🥳 xx

Oh what a night!! Having my 50th at The Drop Off was such a special occasion for me, it is simply the most phenomenal function room which creates an amazing atmosphere for all the guests. The lighting, the acoustics for the band, the dance floor all worked together to create a brilliant night. Working with Moira and Bryn planning the night was perfect, so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about it all. On the night Nathan ran the bar effortlessly and full of character. All that came were full of praise for you all in what you’ve created, you should be immensely proud of yourselves!! I cannot thank you enough for making my 50th a night I’ll never forget!!!

Cutest cafe Great size portion, the coffee was lovely aswell. Flapjack was so nice aswell. Food was delicious Staff were so lovely Dogs are allowed

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the life drawing event with Vanessa ! The Drop Off was the perfect venue !!!! It was so lovely and relaxing and Vanessa's so talented and inspirational! I loved looking at others' drawings and meeting different people. I havn't done life drawing for about 20 years and this brought it all back. Since Saturday , so many of my friends in the local area have said they would love to join in . I know Saturday was expensive and as a one off , it's a treat ! I sincerely hope there can be something a little more regular and accessible in the future . Thank you 💕

Amazing food. The front of house staff are always very welcoming and helpful. Kitchen staff will bob up every now and then to catch your eye to wave goodbye when you get up to leave. I am a regular and I have never been disappointed, I always leave full and satisfied. I recommend this place everyone I know (and don’t know for that matter) when going to bury.

Lovely friendly welcome. Shown to a table which met our needs. Very quiet as it was a Tuesday morning so not a market day. Large menu with lots to choose from. My husband had the classic full breakfast and I ordered a small breakfast. Drinks were brought, my husband says he will order a pot of tea for two next time though. I had orange juice and a refillable iced water. The food was excellent, beautifully cooked and presented. Good quality and quantity. Good facilities for the disabled with level access and an accessible toilet. We were very impressed and will definitely visit again. Congratulations to the friendly staff and great chef. For us it’s certainly the ‘best breakfast in Bury’!

We went here yesterday for the first time. What an excellent decision! The manager has everything running like clockwork, including what appeared to be training a new member of staff. We watched the interaction of the waiting staff with other customers whilst we waited for our food. Though they were very busy, they were consistently smiling at customers and he'd excellent interaction with children and a young girl with additional needs, even finding time to fasten her coat. Then came the food. Wow! We had seen lovely looking dishes brought out for other people so were expecting something good. We were certainly not disappointed! If you like spicy food, do try the chicken breast with chorizo. It was delicious! Everything is cooked from scratch as ordered and it shows. We are not local, but will certainly be back next time we are in Bury.

You just can't fault Barista. Food and service is spot on. We usually come for breakfast but occasionally for lunch. Regardless of how busy it is you are always made to feel welcome. Games are dropped at the table if visiting with kids. Cost of the kids menu is fantastic for what they get Barista is always our go to place for lunch in Bury
