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

Wonderful cafe owned and run by John, who's more than happy taking care of you and sharing a story or two with you. Brilliant host with great character. Food portion size is very good. You'll get a stack of toast with your breakfast and you'll even get your beans in a teacup! Really quirky, and eccentric but an excellent gimic too. Shop is situated on the high street. Good amount of seating available where you can sit and watch the world go by whilst you listen to Gold on the radio. Value for money is excellent too. Thanks John, we'll be back again soon.

My partner and I are staying at the inn down the road. Couldn't get in for breakfast at the inn. We walked down to north's Cafe and had breakfast there. It was delicious. I would highly recommend north's.

If you're looking for a delightful little coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further, The North Coffee Shop is owned by John who has many years of experience and makes mouth watering food, he is incredibly friendly and has created a wonderful warm and inviting atmosphere, there is something for everyone and all made with love by John himself. He runs Greek nights also and the dishes are fantastic, with loads of variety. I would highly recommend anyone to drop in and sample some of John's tasty treats, you won't be disappointed xx

What an amazing little friendly cafe. Food was lovely, not at all expensive. Me and my wife will definitely be calling in again soon.

I was in Rochdale for an appointment and visited this beautiful place for breakfast and I do highly recommend this place, homemade full breakfast and the desi tea is on another level, friendly staff and clean environment… May Allah give them more Barakah in their business.

This is the 2nd time i have come and i am impressed with the the food it's worth the money and wait. The Desi breakfast is very good Alhamdulila. This is the best one i have been to so far the prata's are huge and very tasty all the Desi breakfast is very tasty

Food was fresh, the shami burger was the best I've had, the sausages in the full English breakfast were very tasty, the paratha are proper home-made, not like some other breakfast places where they just microwave shana parathas for you, top service as well. I would say the only improvement they need to make is the karak chai, not enough masala in it for example cinnamon or cardamom to name a few

I had an absolutely delightful breakfast at Khadijas Cafe on Union Street, Rochdale. The sunny side up eggs with toast, cheese, and a perfect cup of Desi tea were simply fantastic! The eggs were cooked just right, the toast was crisp, and the cheese was just right, making for a perfect combination. The Desi tea had an , authentic touch that rounded off the meal perfectly. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend Khadijas Cafe for a satisfying and comforting meal!🤗😎

Great little cafe, the breakfast sandwiches are great but recently started having there dinner's, what can i say very tasty nice big portions all in all would definitely recommend this place oh and lovely friendly owner's

Great Lovely cafe, the owners are amazing and the food is amazing. Would always recommend going here if you have never had there breakfast.

Absolutely great little butty shop serving fresh cold sandwiches and hot food too. Seats to sit and eat a cooked breakfast etc. Friendly staff .very nice .I would recommend it

What a great find 👍 In Rochdale on business and thought we would grab lunch while the car was charging before heading back. We stumbled across this fab little cafe and glad we did. The food was plentiful, tasty and great value.

Excellent food and fabulous service, new to the area and this is an absolute gem of a place 👌

An absolutely super brunch. Lots of homemade dishes to choose. Catherine is an excellent cook. The girls serving were also brilliant even though it took us ages to decide they were very patient. We didn’t want to leave as the place is super cosy but obviously other people also know this place so we couldn’t stay all day. We will definitely be back 😍

Fabulous food service and atmosphere and VERY reasonably priced don't know how they do it

Lovely place, great food, reasonable prices and the staff are fantastic. Two meals and two drinks typically come to around £16 and it's a lot nicer and friendlier than any overpriced chain cafe. It has very quickly become a regular weekend stop for us.

Stopped by here randomly on our way up north, and highly recommend that you check them out too! Very nice clean cafe, a small number of tables inside and out, and a lovely atmosphere. We had the vegetarian breakfast which was really tasty, good quality items, freshly cooked and piping hot. The only moan I could possibly have was the toast was barely toasted, but many people love it that way, so hardly worth noting. Overall a great experience, and a really good, satisfying breakfast for a very reasonable price. Certainly recommend giving them a try if you're passing by, card payments are welcome, but cash is definitely preferred! Let's keep cash alive, along with great local businesses such as Nanny's!

The staff here are amazing! Super happy and genuinely seem to love working there. They always have a chat with you while you're waiting for your food and it's just a lovely cafe. Food is delicious and great value for money.

Lovely cafe with a great menu. We visited twice for breakfast while visiting locally. It was definitely the food,atmosphere and the staff that brought us back the second morning. We even all sang happy birthday to a regular! They were happy for us to put tables together so we could all sit together and happy to do swap outs which is always helpful for fussy kids.

Wow, what a gaff. Lovely big breakfasts at such a good price. Large breakfast was amazing for £11. Lovely thick toast, buttered for you. No fat on bacon. Eggs, spam, hashbrowns all cooked perfectly. Staff were so nice. Would recommend this place to anyone

Called in today with some friends to show them our very individual coffee bar and they enjoyed it. They did comment that although it’s a great place for people with dogs there didn’t seem to be anywhere dog free for people who are nervous around dogs. By the way what a great success Phil has made of the Barista adding greatly to the local area’s attraction

A wonderful place, genuinely dog friendly and a very friendly clientele too.

Great place and the Hot chocolate was amazing 😊

Great place. Owners really good with kids, dogs and service. 😃

Great cafe great butty

I love the way the staff treat their customers & I love the sandwiches especially the Bacon & sausage, corned beef & salad and the Ham & salad (they also will omit any items of the salad if you don't like them)

By far the best cafe in Rochdale, a daily ritual of mine is the jacket potato. The staff are absolutely great and cheerful keeps you upbeat and motivated in the morning. Every time I’ve ordered from here it’s gotten better every time.

Always a treat to visit by far the best cafe I'm rochdale

I was served by the lovely Denise. I asked for well done bacon and it was perfect. Muffin was soft. She was delightful. 10/10

Denise is fantastic, Very friendly and super fast which is what you need when you only have 2 minutes for a brew before your train

Come here every morning for a coffee before my train to work. Denise is lovely and chatty and makes the best mochas. Best way to start my mornings :)

Jalaen is such a warm and welcoming person. She is easy to approach and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again :)

Came here for a Sunday breakfast..top end food, decent price.. Expectation met and above, can't wait to try some of the other food there. Loved the service, continued to ask if i needed anything and made sure my experience was a good one. Update.. new deals coming into town with cafe two68.. starting next week you can get these meal deals for £8.50

I've been hearing about this must try new Café in Rochdale and it certainly lived up to expectations. Menu is elegant and simple with food choices to suit all taste buds. The place looks amazing. The staff were especially friendly. My Smoked Salmon Benedict was exquisite and the French Toast my wife ordered was delightful. My hazelnut coffee tasted better than Costa's coffee. I'll definitely visit again to try more. Thanks for looking after us today.

What a great first experience, popped in on a lunch break. Food was cooked fresh and received a complimentary appetiser. From the Latte to the Salmon rice, will definitely be back - great value for Money!

Lovely decor. Good service. Food was good. Chicken tender benedict.. wasn't expecting the cinnamon bagel however I enjoyed it. Coffee was good. Liver shingara I didn't enjoy unfortunately. Would recommend

Absolutely love this cafe. Rachel and her staff are fantastic and always go out of their way to ensure food is of a high quality. Very reasonably priced for portion size too. If you are looking for a nice little cafe to grab some tasty fresh food then I highly recommend Laughing Loaf.

Happy to have a real cafe in town. Tired of all the expensive over rated coffee houses everywhere. Real food, real people, big Thanks Rachel 😊👍Check out the cakes and pie selection 👌 On Wednesday there's a carvery !!! 😁

Absolutely fabulous first experience. Everyone is so friendly. Food is excellent quality and price. And the coffee is excellent 👌. Will definitely be returning.

Very friendly people, had a yummy breakfast sandwich.
