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

Visited for lunch yesterday, very clean and well presented. Staff are lovely and keep you update with any delays! Food was spot on, fried mushroom was absolute perfection (who'd have thought a fried mushroom could wow you) eegs poached to perfection. Chocolate fudge cake is excellent. Well worth a visit.

Spacious cafe, wheelchair accessible. Went here today for the first time with my Nana, Mum, and Auntie. They come regularly. Great service and tasty food that was good value and good quality. Good coffee, too. Bathroom clean as was cafe. Nice decor.

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere. However, parents are allowed to let their children run around screaming. It is a safety hazard, if a child gets scolded by hot drinks or food, it wouldn't be the parents fault for not controlling their children.it would be the person who is serving the food or drink. So please put a notice up. Children must sit at the table, and not run around. I don't want to have my meal with screaming kids running around. My children never did this. Otherwise good food service. Customers are letting this potential excellent cafe down.

Called in this morning with a couple of work colleagues for breakfast. The food was lovely and the service spot on. Highly recommend

✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.

After being recommended this place, I knew I had to check it out and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the two ladies working there were so friendly. I ordered a vanilla matcha over ice and a blondie. The food menu sounded so good that I’ll definitely be back for some lunch and a chai! Lovely, cosy cafe. The matcha was so good! Dog friendly too.

I went here for the first time today with my dad (all he eats is meat) and wow… it was amazing. Even my dad said how amazing it is!! The best breakfast I’ve ever had!! Would 100% recommend and I will definitely be going again!!

Really enjoyed every visit to Chai Village and is an excellent recommendation for lunch! Food is delicious and the staff are amazing.

Amazing coffee and cakes. Very decently priced also. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend everyone visit.

Delightful little cafe. Food was excellent, we chose the Coronation Chicken on an open bloomer. The best coronation sandwich I ever had. Prices are also very reasonable. Owner and staff very friendly. Will go again.

Outstanding service and how clean and well presented all through. The coffee was fantastic and so was the mince pie.

We had a lovely experience today at Finch & Fig. Smashing home cooked food, a lovely coffee, nice ambience and to top it off - really friendly customer service from our server (this really made our day). Would recommend to anyone passing by - you won’t regret it.

Great little coffee house in Marple! Coffee is incredible and they offer oat milk at no extra charge. 100% recommend the homemade sausage rolls too.

Great coffee shop within the climbing centre. Fab coffee and baked treats, we had the ice cream cookie special. Quick service, friendly staff, we will return.

Came here after hearing good things and wasn't disappointed! Such a lovely welcoming vibe and good quality coffee. Was impressed by the bakery selection too, the homemade sausage rolls were particularly delicious and my partner had a pie and loved it. Will definitely be back!

Great little find!! Food, coffee and service was lovely!! Good choice of pies and pastries. Vegan sausage roll was the best I’ve ever had and a happy little boy approved of the cookies! Books, toys and LEGO to entertain the kids! Top spot, will definitely be returning to make our way through the pies!

best place to go for coffee in anywhere. recommend taking a trip here if you have the time or are in the area because it is definitely worth it. this place has the best hot chocolate imaginable (i get mine with oat milk) and the brownies made me remember why i love brownies so much!! my sibling won't drink/eat anywhere, but will do so here because its THAT GOOD!!! lovely little place, great location, good for take in or take out. i come every week

Louisa catered my Dad's funeral, the food was amazing. So imaginative with the choice of food and such an array of flavours. Very hard to pick a favourite out of everything on offer as everything was so nice. A very well thought out buffet, would highly recommend and will definitely use them again.

Best place in Marple for delicious fresh healthy lunch, brunch, light bites, smoothies, and my fave cakes with speciality teas & coffee. Friendly staff, great atmosphere... Get here before 3pm. Free 1 hour parking opposite.

Friendly service, lovely food (both savoury and sweet - their homemade cakes are the best you can get for miles) and always really good music on there. Favourite place of my wife and I to head for a working lunch.

Been a few times on the return leg of a mountain bike ride with a few others. The home made cakes are very nice , I don't drink coffee but no complaints from the guys who do👍 Staff friendly and polite no complaints here.

Friendly experience always with good conversation, good service and the bacon butties are always good, pets enjoy the stop as well. Pity the council don't maintain the car park, but the cafe is superb.

Best rocky road I’ve ever tasted. Home Made by Claire. Perfect flat white. Great end to a wonderful walk. Thanks 😊

We regularly go here for our coffees at the start of a walk, even though we live only a 1-minute walk away. We have had breakfast here which is gorgeous and this weekend we tried the homemade cakes which were amazing! Would highly recommend when out on a walk/ bike ride 😋

Me and my wife took our daughters for breakfast this morning. Food was superb, staff very helpful, great atmosphere. Lovely brew and kids had lots of pencils and crayons brought over to draw with. Thank you so much for a great experience, we will be back soon. 😊

I always pop in for a coffee when I'm in the area - lovely staff, fast service and relaxed atmosphere. Found out today you can book a table so it'd be a great place for business meetings!

Unfortunately we waited rather a long time for our food. I had a bacon and chicken toasty? It was burnt and the bacon was dry and burnt. Maybe the chef was having a bad day.

It's probably the best wagyu burger I have ever had, only spoiled by being served on a cold plate.

Lovely little Café. Great location, lovely servers, nice food. Will definitely be returning.

Popped in for a coffee and a light breakfast of avocado 🥑 on sourbread toast with poached eggs. The food was amazing, however, I was defeated by the huge portion size!!! Best avocado on toast since moving back to UK from South Africa!!!

Recently been in a few times to try breakfast and then the evening menu. Dog friendly! 🐶 Breakfast was lovely, quick service and nice sausages and fresh bread, great coffee and massive selection of cakes and pastries. The evening meal we had the following week was great there’s some great unique choices and you can tell they don’t have a massive menu but it has plenty of options and varied choice - what they do have on the menu they do incredibly well! Favourites from us were the prawns, ribs and goats cheese starter. really cosy atmosphere on both visits Great service friendly staff 10/10

Excellent independent cafe. Welcoming and very friendly staff and good quality, good value food.

Always good and kept clean. Staff are lovely.

Haven't been here for years. Decided to go for lunch and it was really nice, good value for money, really tasty food, hot chocolate was perfect and friendly staff.
