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

Amended! I ordered wrong and apologise! Next time I'm ordering a frappacino!! We had coffee and cake, but it was lovely. I had an iced mocha with almond milk, the only tweak I would make is if it was blitzed with the ice so that the ice is crushed and mixed in to really chill the drink. Other than that, good cake - I had vegan chocolate cake, hubby had vegan sticky toffee cake with biscoff, daughter had caramel (millionaires) shortcake. The sticky toffee cake was the winner! Hubby had an americano and daughter had a carton of juice. There is a play area for little ones, and they are dog friendly which was a bonus for me because it was a post-walk treat. I'm recently vegetarian and have wanted to visit for a while, it didn't disappoint and I'll definitely be back!

✨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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Excellent range of snacks, pastries and classic coffee shop drinks all served with excellent hospitality. There are toys and books for small kids while the big kids are climbing. An asset to the mill and area!

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.

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.

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 wanting to check out since moving to the area and loved the cozy atmosphere. I was SO happy they had vegan milkshakes as I've not been able to find anywhere that makes them! That and my avocado bagel was delicious. Love the different food options for a little brunch. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try their tea and coffee.

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.

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

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.

Warm, friendly, clean and comfortable with the best coffee. Fantastic value, we had a huge bacon barm well worh the money. The cakes are stunning. What a lovely place, will definitely be back.

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 😋

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 😊

Nice staff and handy to have there after a run. But at around 1pm had run out of normal milk and all but type of toastie. Might be an unusual occurrence but a shame nonetheless. As I say though the two serving were great and offered alternatives

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

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.

Tried this lovely place today .Came across the cafe the other week .The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Will definitely be eating here again .A hidden gem in marple I never knew was there .

Lovely place. Very child friendly. Upstairs is delightful. Good food. Good selection of cakes with vegan options. Decent wine selection. Staff are diligent and helpful. Very clean. Chilled atmosphere

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!

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

Costa marple is always a nice spot to remote work for an hour or two. Staff a so lovely and welcoming.

I witnessed something wonderful today in Costa at marple at 9.45am today a lady came into the cafe & went straight into the back to the kitchen & asked the member of staff something- the lady from the kitchen said she needed to go to the charity shop & she realised the lady had dementia, the member of staff instantly took her hand & took her to the charity shop for them to help her & call her family - the member of staff (sorry I didn’t get her name) went the extra mile to help her & it was the kindest thing x well done that lady that helped her👏👏 (12/10/24)

Great! And the only place in Marple serving food after 2PM on a Sunday it seems. Costa was heaving, real shame we couldn't try a local business, seemed the demand was there. The three staff in were doing a great job keeping things moving, looks like double the people were needed though!
