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

Today we walked around to explore the area because we just moved here. We found this nice small cafe next to the riverside park and decided to get some breakfast. I ordered an americano with “the lox” (panini with salmon and capers) and both were lovely. The atmosphere is cozy and I will be coming back here with my dog, as this place is dog friendly! It has also some outdoor seating space, and the lovely owner gives the dogs that come in some whipped cream!

Lovely little place. The lady was very friendly. Inside, the food window didn't had many options so I went with something on the menu and was happily surprised with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Went for a Avo and Cream Cheese Bagel (with bacon as an extra) - All Vegan 😍 Also the location is very convenient as its right next to a playground and Riverbank.

The food is amazing, and the staff are lovely. I'm vegan, and struggle finding nice food, had an incredible pickled gherkin sauerkraut, vegan cheese, and vegan pastrami sandwich. Also, the best sausage and egg and bacon and egg sandwiches in the area, according to my dad..

This is a pleasant little coffee shop popped up near the river. You will easily miss it if you are walking along the river side, but cross near the little park and you will see it. Coffee is OK, not great or terrible. Been twice and perhaps a little weak? Food was nicely presented and prepared and reasonably priced. A bit of a shame they don't use better sausages than Richmond we have a few nice butchers in the area! But I'm sure I'll pop back, nice chill little place with decent enough food and coffee.

I visited today with a friend also with my assistance dog, was made to feel welcome, a lot of places will not let dogs in even assistance dogs. Was asked to leave her pram outside which was very understandable because it was so busy. The staff & coffee was lovely. Jill was a very welcoming, lovely person & even though very busy took time out for a selfie.

If you're a football fan, a foodie or a coffee lover, you have to drop in. Staff are super friendly and the place has a proper family vibe. (Vegetarian) food was considerably more thought out and tasty than other coffee shops and my word, the white chocolate and pistachio latte was probably the tastiest coffee I ever did have. Great merch available, and not too badly priced, with some signed things available. Even the eco friendly cups were cool. Great footie decor, it's just a good vibe.

A new favourite! Best coffee I've had in a lonng time, and a delicious breakfast. Was told 25 min wait as there was a big table in, but served under 15 mins so very happy with that. Really nice atmosphere, and friendly smiley staff

Nice little place with comfortable seating. I think there was a slightly limited menu for the christmas break which was a shame, there was still a nice selection of cakes/pastries. Food and drinks reasonably prices. Staff polite, professional and friendly.

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.

If you want good coffee and feeding well in Didsbury FFS is the place to go. Excellent breakfasts and lunches , good produce cooked well ( sausages from the local butcher ) fresh farm eggs , good portions, vege options and fantastic homemade cakes . Simple done well. Excellent value for money . Unique decor , fantastic community and great background music. Thanks guys 😊

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.

Absolutely fantastic flavours. We have been twice and not a single choice has disappointed. The papaya salad with prawns is particularly spectacular. Such a burst of fresh flavour! Decor is highly stylised and interesting with cherry blossom and bamboo themes. Service was attentive, helpful and friendly.

Lovely atmosphere, authentic Vietnamese. Homemade lemonade definitely reminds me of back home; refreshing. Love having the extra option of the chilli jam with my roasted duck dish. Beef salad. Had a hint of spice which was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Went for a meal with some friends last night. The starters were fantastic, especially the salt and pepper squid and prawns. The mains were a bit bland (the pho in particular), but good portion sizes and the starters made up for it. Very affordable and will definitely be going back (even if it is just for the starters)

Oh how I loved Mi and Pho! Oh My Pho is 90% there with the food. I adore the coconut sizzler but its just not quite there. The sauce is too thick. It should be served with jasmine rice and it needs more veg. I will of course keep visiting until they get it. I believe in you......

Great little place to eat. Very friendly staff, good menu at a reasonable price.. Will definitely be going back soon. Also halal, and offer a decent full breakfast too.

Such a cute, quaint place with the most delicious, warm hearty food. So welcoming and friendly. The portions are generous and so filling. Will definitely be a returning and regular customer.

Had a very nice breakfast in this cafe on Monday. Opted for the small breakfast (£8) - egg, sausage, few mushrooms, fresh cherry tomatoes, hash brown, turkey bacon, beans and toast - was cooked fresh and just the right size - we were pretty full after! Decor is nice and inviting too and the service friendly and welcoming. Will be going again soon!

Me and my partner was visiting Manchester for a few days and we found this hidden gem, wonderful food, great customer service and lovely staff the place feels really welcoming. 10/10 would highly recommend and we will be definitely be coming again when we next visit.

the food was absolutely jaw dropping. the presentation was amazing and neat, very well designed😍. the lotus biscoff croffle was absolutely banging and if you come here, i would definitely recommend this and the service was amazing aswell, everyone was kind and helpful. loved the food, service and atmosphere.

I really enjoyed this time spent here . I recommend it for anyone wants to spend lovely time with friends or family.

Been coming here for the past 1 year, such a nice place. Reccomendes it to all my mates. Coffee is top notch, so is the food and the dessert. The owner and the staff are all lovely, always makes me feel welcomed. Highly highly recommend!

Great little cafe with a wide selection of food and desserts at fair prices. The service was good and atmosphere very relaxed. Everything is halal and they have good vegetarian and GF options. They also have their own branded coffee (which I didn't try). There is outdoor seating available and a garden area at the back which was closed, maybe it could be used a children's play area. Overall, it is definitely worth a visit.

I am a regular at this point! Family owned and run and they are the loveliest people I have ever met. Some of the cakes are home made (super delish). Brought my family and friends here multiple times, none of them had any complaints either🩷

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.

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

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.

Worked a project next door and visited the cafe for a hot drink and relax after I’d finished filming. The volunteers behind the counter were friendly and welcoming, engaging and the Hot Chocolate I had was 10/10. Highly recommended!

What a shock this place is on an industrial estate in wythenshawe ! The staff, cleanliness and food is first class! Go take a look! big industrial unit, very modern funish8ngs and also a community shop with great deals! We were shocked and going back this week, and our favourite place to eat and the food prices and drinks are unbeatable for the price! it's worth a trip 💫 ps also fantastic to find a place that isn't worried about this being a christian founded operation built on Christian values, helping people get back on course, brilliant in times where we find the faith of our country attacked daily even by the leader of the Christian church in the uk.

Food was tasty and well presented, staff attentive and friendly, lovely calming environment 10/10 would come back 🤞🤞

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!

What a nice place to come, have breakfast and relax. This is my first time here and it was a nice ambiance. The food and coffee were amazing. We had the pleasure of having Kate and Laura assist us. They were very attentive. I definitely recommend this place if you’re ever in to Manchester.

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 .

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!
