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

This shisha place is the best for price, quality of shisha & the staff here are excellent!! Fast service, regular coal changes, warm and friendly atmosphere. If you’re ever passing by - definitely recommend popping by!

Been smoking shisha over many years and been to many places, since this place was recommended to me by a friend I've only come here. Service is first class, shisha flavour lasts unlike other places, and atmosphere is good, always warm inside. Always something on the tv like live sports or good tunes. Always busy at night which shows how good the place is, so come in the day when it's a little quieter. Usually cash only but can do bank transfer, but definitely recommend as one of the best I've been too in so many years.

First time at this place last week during the boxing. Lounge was recommended by a mutual friend who is a local. As from Edinburgh so didn’t know much so decided to give it a try. Can say with full assurance that this was one of the BEST shisha places I been to. The variety and quality of shishas was 10/10. Especially dark leaf tobacco as that’s a rare one to find in the country. The staff knew exactly what and how to recommend and mix, something that most places lack. There service was nothing short of outstanding. As was by myself, lt felt very welcoming and left with a desire to visit again if in town. A must visit indeed.

Best shisha place has to be this lounge amazing service great desserts outstanding service manager is a very polite guy 10/10

AMAZING!!! I love Michelle and the team, and the church service on Wednesday was AMAZING!!! Definitely coming again!

YES!!! Mocha frappe to perfection :) lovely staff too

Hi it’s Ellis the guy who popped into your cafe earlier I just wanna say thank you for making me feel welcome it means a lot plus you guys make an amazing mocha and because of that consider me as your regular customer I’m a massive believer and everything happens for a reason Ellis ❤️

This cafe has the most amazing coffee, the staff are extremely friendly and always attentive, the food is also lovely, fills a nice corner. I Couldn't be happier with soul cafe and their team!

Lovely family business that draws us back week after week. Fletchers has parking just around the corner, is clean, welcoming, and serves delicious food at reasonable prices.

Went in with Mum for a quick bite. Know Stacey who introduced her Children. A family affair ~ great atmosphere ~ even chatted with the other customers. I’m already planning what to eat on my next visit.

Best around. I eat at cafe's everyday throughout Gtr Manchester whilst travelling about for work. Tastiest breakfast out there.

Food is fantastic don’t have to wait long for it to come out of the kitchen. Staff are really nice and friendly. Definitely will go again. Thank you 🤩.

Went there to have a latte, Super friendly staff, nice comfy place.

Such an amazing place, great staff and delicious food! The pancakes were so fluffy and decorated amazingly and the cocktails were too tasty!

First time eating here, was bit gutted they don't do a full English or eggs, so ordered bacon on sourdough bread, there was plenty of bacon on it as well and really tasty Also ordered a latte, came with with water and a biscoff for the sandwich Staff were really friendly and good service

First time visiting today after reading lots of positive reviews so we just had to try this place out. On residential street parking, we found a spot no problem but I would imagine it could become tricky the busier this place got. Pleasant and warm welcome and seated immediately. I have a feeling you’re better off booking as I feel it could get really busy. Beautiful interior, no expense spared. Varied menu We had 2 lattes…WOW !!! We have drank a lot of lattes in the uk and around the world and have to say, this Latte was the best we have EVER tried !! Absolutely delicious, excellent quality with gorgeous presentation to go with it. We ordered the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and bacon on sourdough. Again…wow !! Excellent quality, beautiful presentation, very very tasty and delicious. It cost around £23 for everything BUT, it was worth every penny. We will definitely return and we highly recommend Bru’d Awakenin’s. 5/5.

Lovely and nice food 😋 spot on with the service and and happy with the place

Me and my wife went for breakfast. Ordered two mega breakfasts,both were lovely and massive. Think we'll order a smaller one next time. I was proper full when I'd finished 🤣. The cafe was lovely and clean with nice decor.The lady serving was really friendly and super efficient,she was cooking and serving.The seating is a little tight but it's a small cafe. That definitely wouldn't put me off returning for second's.

Janine and her team catered for my late husband’s celebration. He had a “good turnout “ and everyone commented on the brilliant “spread” and we catered for a lot of people and there was nothing left it was that good. I’d recommend Janine for any gathering to provide a sooper dooper “spread “ Thanks once again Janine very much appreciated. ☘️☘️🎄🤶

One girl band...very clean...fast service n really nice food...with good prices...

Exceptional service , excellent food, family friendly and very welcoming! Recommended.

I love this place. Been so many times can’t keep away. The desserts are delicious, fresh and fluffy. Children friendly and a great place to take the family. The prices are excellent too. The staff are well mannered and very polite. Would recommend this place. 5***** all the way. See you again very soon.

Amazing food and experience! I must say, it's actually one of the best places to go for a chill and enjoy desserts in Oldham. Desi chai is top as it's freshly made to order. Friendly staff and very considerate. I went in with my little one and they helped me to warm my food up and his milk bottle with care 🥰. Thankyou once again! Also, parking is very easy 👌

Fantastic dessert place in Oldham. Always a pleasure going in. The service and food are on point.

A hidden gem! Me and my girlfriend had a takeout from here today and the food was amazing, staff were so friendly and quiet possibly the cheapest cafe I’ve ever been too!

Charlie who has the place is a little cutie she is always happy to help service is brill

My absolute favorite. Delicious ! Just been in (again) for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Regular customer here and will always come in as the food is always spot on-and so is the service. The staff are always extremely kind and helpful and also polite. The lamb chops are beautiful, and the biriyani is out of this world. The place is also very clean !! 5*****

The food was absolutely delicious, the seating was super comfy, and the beautiful lighting and décor added to the restaurant's wonderful atmosphere. The hospitality at Café East was amazing, they even treated us to a delicious Karak Chai on the house! Definitely worth a visit!

Awsome experience with wonderful food. Would definitely recommend. Thanks 😊. Update: Been back a few times now and the food and service is still great as always. Also, I've just been reading some 1 star reviews and 5 in a row are from the same Rosul family!!! That's just insane. Fair enough, if you didn't like it give the 1 star but you don't need every member of the party/family to try and destroy a business. It's a shame that some people to don't realise the consequences on the business because of their poor actions.

Been 3 times now and I've really enjoyed the food every time. Really enjoyed the mocktails but was disappointed to find out the bartender wasn't in last time to make them. Can be a little slow when busy but the staff are very attentive. Prices are very reasonable. A very wide range of food with spice levels tailored to everyone. I would highly recommend the Chicken Kakrvi to start which was like a parmesan with delicious veggies and perfectly cooked roast potatoes. For mains the biryani and the nihari were spectacular. Try the magaz if you're feeling adventurous but it's an acquired taste. Would love to try the desserts one day but the portion sizes for the previous courses are so big I don't make it that far.

It felt amazing to come here; the staff is very welcoming. The food is halal, and it’s prepared by women in a very good manner. Do visit for sure!

Tried their Desi nashta and Samosa. Amazing home made parathas. Came back for the biryani on same day. Competitive rates, friendly people. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended, guys. Asian women, freshly cooked food 😋. My favourite is aloo parathas and its mouth watering 😋. One day, I was very hungry during lunchtime, went into the restaurant and ordered chicken karahai, and freshly made hot hot chapati. There is halwa puri as well. Don't miss and try it yourselves!

Bread and butter is such a lovely, cute food spot. The staff are always lovely and attentive. The food is 10/10, always satisfies my cravings! If you haven’t already, make sure you try it!

A place where I regularly visit with colleagues, friends and especially with my children. Food is always spot on. Service is brilliant, lovely staff that are very accommodating. My girls absolutely love the place and choose to go there for brunch over other places. Highly recommend. Thank you for always looking after us whenever we go and catering to our needs and preferences.

Small cosy breakfast and brunch stop with very good value range of menu items catering to multiple dietary (halal and vegetarian) needs that are good portion sizes. The staff are friendly and attentive. We went as two adults and three children (1 teen and two younger ones) and felt very well catered for and we would definitely visit again.

Fantastic little place run by some friends, young lads, felt very authentic, like it's a sincerely run place, always busy and constant flow of people As soon as I entered I was greeted and seated. Bit of a small place so I did see some people enter and then leave due to a lack of seating. I ordered the sriracha chicken stir-fry. And when I tell you this was perfect. Generously seasoned, banging taste, the chicken was soft and the batter was crunchy, nice salad and fries were good. You could tell this was made by someone who knows what he's doing, the ingredients tasted fresh and everything went together so well, right amount of spice, like this could have been served in an up scale fine dining restaurant You could see why people were coming. They do burgers, a whole load of stir-fries, brunch, breakfast, french toasts. I also ordered a cappuccino and I was served with a literal glass tumbler, huge serving. Only issue was the glass was hot and there was no handle. I was constantly asked if I needed anything, and the server was very nice guy.
