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

Amazing Shisha lounge great customer service I have had Shisha in many lounges but this lounge is the best desserts are 10/10 and fresh not your typical Costco desserts these guys use genuine flavours in there Shisha amazing hospitality very friendly

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

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!

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.

Great cafe , the full breakfast is beautiful highly recommend,

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

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

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. ☘️☘️🎄🤶

Fantastic customer care, price and service from the team. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here meeting a friend for a catch up. Will definitely return and kudos on the business for expanding for more customers. Looking forward to returning soon. Thanks again !

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 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.

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

Fletcher's is a wonderful little cafe that we've been using while our kitchen is being refitted. We've enjoyed not only the food but the chats with the staff who are all family. Son cooks, daughter serves and signs and mum manages :-) Together they have made a huge difference to this cafe.

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

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.

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.

A great place to go to for a coffee/drink, it's nicely done on the inside. 👏

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!

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

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

It is a small cafe but food and service are excellent. Everything is fresh and is of very good quality. Staff are friendly and courteous. Have been visiting this place for desi breakfast for over 2 years now. Was never disappointed. Highly recommend it.

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!

Although Rhode Island Coffee is currently rated as one of the best places for coffee in Oldham, that isn't saying much as your options are fairly limited - especially if you're trying to avoid Costa. We were in Oldham and looking for coffee and a bit to eat at 8am and places we might otherwise have chosen don't open till 10am so Rhode Island Coffee severed a purpose of being warm and dry. My husband had an Americano which he said was average, the hot chocolate is nothing to write home about and the toasted tea cake was fairly disappointing in all honesty. Rhode Island Coffee is essentially fine but nothing to write home about and definitely not a 'destination' - it's not bad but I wouldn't make any effort to return.

It's kind of hard to write a review of this particular place. It has the feeling of being a chain, but I have no experience of whether this is true or not. With that comes all the hallmarks of a typical Costa or Starbucks experience, largely soulless and more 'fit for purpose' than anything else. I've eaten food here on a previous trip (Ham & Cheese toastie/ciabatta) and it was okay, it did the job. I ordered it for takeout and it came sit in, so I missed my bus but still. In that instance I was served by one amazing individual and one that was more interested in chatting about anything but doing her job, mixed bag much. The coffee however (pictured) is really nice, well crafted by the barrista, creamy, if a little too milky (even for a latte). All in all, it's a fine experience, but it's hard to get much more excited than that. If you want a brew, it'll do, but I won't be going out of my way to return, more only if my bus is late. Id say pick it over the mainstream chains for a quick take out coffee for sure, anything else is at your own risk.

Better than any Costa or Starbucks, A warm cosy coffee shop, coffee is amazing as is the food, friendly staff and I would definitely recommend

We popped in for a quick cup of tea,looking at the cakes & scones while i waited,we didn't purchase on this occasion. The two tea's are also a little bit more costly than in the local independent cafes. But we got our loyalty card stamped,just need to work some overtime before my next visit. 🍰☕️🍪

Great food, service, prices and staff. Even the Tea was brewed properly and spot on. Just wish it was close to our workshop in Wolverhampton so we could go every week!

Google pictures very deceiving lol. I imagined a girly cafe for me to go sit and have a quite coffee but it more of a butty shop vibe. Walked in there was about 10 builders ordering lunch and chatting away... Deciding on takeaway, But the food and drink that I took away was tasty just in a paper bag and paper coffee cup lol

Excellent breakfast..value for money..friendly staff will be going again 👍 👏

This is a right gem. Went on Friday afternoon before it was closed. Tracey and the girls were dead friendly and helpful. The place is spotless with a 5*hygiene on the door. I ordered a blt baguette, the best blt I've had, proper cooked bacon and fresh French baguette out the oven, and generous with the bacon. Plus being Friday I had a chips with gravy. Can't fault this place.

Good portions of very nice food made by friendly staff at a very reasonable prices. What more could you ask for. My regular butty stop on late shifts.

The food is really good and the staff are so polite,it's definitely worth a try for anybody who hasn't tried it yet

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

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!
