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

I have been working at a job around the corner from the north coffee shop and found this gem. I’ve come in for a dinner everyday and got no complaints. Top quality food for a very reasonable price. John top bloke and would highly recommend to anyone passing by

Wonderful cafe owned and run by John, who's more than happy taking care of you and sharing a story or two with you. Brilliant host with great character. Food portion size is very good. You'll get a stack of toast with your breakfast and you'll even get your beans in a teacup! Really quirky, and eccentric but an excellent gimic too. Shop is situated on the high street. Good amount of seating available where you can sit and watch the world go by whilst you listen to Gold on the radio. Value for money is excellent too. Thanks John, we'll be back again soon.

What an amazing little friendly cafe. Food was lovely, not at all expensive. Me and my wife will definitely be calling in again soon.

If you're looking for a delightful little coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further, The North Coffee Shop is owned by John who has many years of experience and makes mouth watering food, he is incredibly friendly and has created a wonderful warm and inviting atmosphere, there is something for everyone and all made with love by John himself. He runs Greek nights also and the dishes are fantastic, with loads of variety. I would highly recommend anyone to drop in and sample some of John's tasty treats, you won't be disappointed xx

Staff are very friendly and welcoming and food is delicious and very reasonably priced 👍

We go to the Million Pavilion almost every week! The food is great (and very affordable) and it has a fantastic atmosphere. My kids love it, they can play on the park, enjoy a nice lunch and play with the board games there. The staff are lovely and make you feel very welcome. A brilliant community Cafe!

Good community space, friendly, helpful staff and volunteers.

Fantastic place for great food at great prices just keep your eyes open for changes coming up to the area and I must also mention how great the staff are who tirelessly work their fingers to the bone ( I jest about their fingers) always with a smile on their faces I heartily recommend that you try this place at some point soon and you will see what I mean

Food is lovely. It's a bit pricey but you do get what you pay for

Called in at midday today with my Brother for lunch. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Quick service, great value for money but most importantly the food was delicious, served nicely with generous portions. Couldn't find any faults, would recommend to anyone. Well done. 👍

Just had the best afternoon tea in the local area. Lovely hot and cold options on the menu, something for everybody.

Reserved a table as I know it can get busy. Great food, didn't have to wait too long and weren't rushed either!! Friendly service!! 🙂

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!

Food and drinks are spot on! Salmon comes in generous portions as well as the soup. They’re both flavourful Also they make the best smoothie and milkshakes! Will definitely go back for different menu Service is okay but atmosphere can be loud during peak times

Beautiful atmosphere. Amazing food. We had a Ceaser Salad and the Egg Benedict with Smoked Salmon on Sourdough. People are friendly. Highly recommend this place. Chicken is halal.

Busy Saturday morning but we was seated quickly. Juices were fresh and food was delicious. Only disappointed was the coffee it tasted like they was form vending machine which was quite surprising.

13/03/24: had mocha with coconut milk and beef sausage & egg on a white bloomer. Sausage was a little bland, but the bread and coffee were very good. Service was friendly and quick. Also had the cheese & onion omelette on brown seeded toast. That was also very good! I would have liked to have seen a full English on the menu. Parking isn't great, made worse by inconsiderate parkers after we'd arrived! Dog friendly, promptly served with water in a Brewdog bowl! Very thoughtful!

Cosy little coffee shop, stopped by for a quick brunch. Had the salmon & egg on their artisanal bread which was great and a lovely cappuccino. Staff were delightful and attentive, I can see myself coming back in the future.

Had lunch, visiting from Florida my friends took me here, very very nice place, food was excellent service was very good as well highly recommended would definitely come back.

Great service, a really lovely team working hard in ever changing circumstances. The coffee here is second to none and they bake their own artisan bread, which was so delicious and really made the breakfast. I was pleased to see the egg yolk was a lovely orange colour, which says to me they use excellent quality ingredients. I've been to too many places and been served pale yellow eggs and it puts me off as you know they are just the cheapest bulk buy eggs and probably not ethical or sustainable. Will be coming back here a lot in the future, really glad my colleague recommended it.

Lovely spacious cafe, very good coffee and cake, fantastic young staff who are so friendly. Dylan does the best ever flat white decoration.

Nice little Cafe, good coffee and excellent home made cakes and flapjacks.

Visited on the 15th Dec 2021. Friendly Staff, Nice atmosphere and Jazzy relaxing music. Enjoyed their Festive buttered crumpets and Pumpkin Spice latte. They got it just right; plenty of coffee taste and not too much syrup. Just what I needed to keep me company and stay warm while waiting for a friend.

I love Healey Dell Tea Rooms sooooo much. Been many times and staff are always so friendly, food is excellent and the venue beautifully unique (I love it so much that I actually had my afternoon hen do celebration here back in 2018 🥰) Today I had the amaretto coffee cake which was absolutely amaaaaazing 👌👌👌 Honestly one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. And I eat a decent amount of cakes… I also had a chrysanthemum flowering tea which was really delightful. Fragrant and delicious. Watching the flower unfurl in the clear tea pot was lovely too. 10 out of 10 every time. A must visit 🫶✨

Stunning little restaurant with a tasty food! We ordered soup, burger and apple crumble. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good meal, free parking and a nice walk!

Staff were absolutely great! Was a very cute and interesting place. My only criticism is that some of the cakes on the afternoon tea tasted a bit buttery , but other than that everything was perfect.

A lovely place , a very clean and warm atmosphere, staff are very friendly and helpful . Food and drink choices are great we had a vegetarian breakfast today which tasted delicious and presented beautifully, fast service will definitely visit again 😀

Ate a Suburb Today for the first time after hearing good things from my Fiancee and our daughter. First bit of advice would be book in advance the restaurant is quite small and compact. I had the Suburb Breakfast, My Daughter had the same and my Fiancee had Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs and asparagus with 2 Latte's and a Flat White Coffee. Service was OK, Restaurant was clean, Food was amazing to be honest one of if not the best Breakfasts I has ever eaten. Prices are quite expensive but the food quality and ingredients were Top draw so no issue at all. Total Bill £52. 5☆

Just had breakfast here and it was absolutely spot on! The food was fresh, tasty, and served piping hot. The coffee was perfect—rich and smooth, just how I like it. The staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a really relaxed atmosphere. Clean, cosy, and great value for money. Definitely my new go-to spot for breakfast. Highly recommend!

Probably one of the best cafes within NQ! I’ve been a regular for almost a year and the service never fails to disappoint! The staff are very friendly and attentive. They serve the best hot chocolates and probably one of the best brownies within Manchester! Would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone.

Such a lovely atmosphere and cute vibe. I bring my mom to enjoy the afternoon tea and it was perfect. I loved the scone so much. It was fluffy and perfectly match with cream and jam. I also loved the brunch and rest of the cake and tea as well. Definitely recommend🥰

Had lovely afternoon tea, maybe should have ordered one to share!! The cafe is quirky but worth a visit. Our only small negative is we wished we had been asked which cake we would like, pistachio is not my thing.

I recently visited Sugar Junction with a friend, and we had an absolutely delightful experience! 🥰 Lavender Latte ☕️ This was a highlight of my order. The latte had a beautifully subtle floral aroma without being overpowering. The balance of sweetness and lavender notes was spot on, and the creaminess of the milk made it incredibly comforting. It’s definitely a must-try for anyone looking for something unique yet satisfying. Scone with Cream and Jam 🥯 The scone was fresh and had a perfectly crumbly texture that paired excellently with the thick, rich clotted cream and fruity jam. Each bite felt like a little bit of heaven. Ambiance & Service ✨ The cafe itself has such a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Sugar Junction delivered delicious drinks, heavenly scones, and a relaxing ambience on every front. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu! Highly recommended. 🌟
