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

Great little coffee shop ideally located near to the tram stop in Stretford, with some nice flavoured syrups, and snacks you can enjoy on the go or inside.

This is a really lovely addition to Stretford. The Spanish lattes are great and they have a fab cake/ pastry selection. All of the staff are really friendly!

Great for grabbing a decent coffee before getting the tram in the morning. Good selection of pastries and cakes too.

Gigi's is where I go for my Monday morning treat, a decaf mocha with coconut milk, always delicious and served with a smile by the lovely owner. I haven't tried the rest of the menu yet but it's a lovely little coffee shop and I'll certainly be back for more, highly recommended!

Lovely little restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and great service. Food is delicious! As you would expect with somewhere this good, it is definitely not cheap! My meal came to around £47. Would definitely go again for a special occasion. I'd recommend making a reservation as it's really busy even on a weeknight.

Lovely spot with phenomenal food and even better service. Shout out our server Henry who was excellent and made this one of my favourite dining experiences I've ever had in Manchester.

This place is an amazing gem in Stretford… if you want something original… go, you won’t be disappointed. Beautifully cooked food with love, splendid drinks and friendly helpful staff. Rhubarb crumble to die for!!!!!

The best coffee I’ve had! 10/10, would highly recommend. Kai is very friendly and gives great service!

First went to swig after a bad morning, been going every morning after the gym ever since. This gentleman has amazing customer service and the coffee is absolutely beautiful smooth and just the perfect richness, spends time dedicated to customers and will go above and beyond when possible. Some days are rubbish for me but after a coffee and a chat at the SWIG van feels like the world has been put to rights, genuine guy with lovely coffee and service always with a smile would recommend to everyone.

Genuinely cannot fault the coffee. Have been a regular at Bisous for years now but can see myself moving. Great little spot too - works well with the dog walk. Always nice to see a new independent pop-up and thrive in Chorlton. Give the chai a try too - proper little festive blend!

One of the best macchiatos I’ve ever had. The coffee blend is incredible, the prices are more than reasonable, and Kai is a nice guy. What more could you want?! Highly recommend!

Wow!!! THE BEST MATCHA I've had ever!! I had the Mel made me do it and was blown away. Matcha can be an acquired taste but this was delicious. I had a pastry too. This needs to be a proper shop in the centre with plenty of space and seating ❤️

Came here based on recommendations and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! Great coffee, awesome food - definitely try the sausage roll (it's to die for!) and great service with a smile! Super dog friendly too with a selection of natural dog treats for sale!

Fantastic end to a lovely riverside walk! We came just after the floods and everything was back to normal. Great to see it all back in action. Such a great spot serving excellent coffee and treats. They also serve food but we didn’t try it. Really popular spot and lots of locals taking advantage of an amazing rest spot.

I’m very grateful for this lovely little place on my local walk. There is a lovely shaded area to sit and enjoy the wide range of drinks and snacks they have. There are toilets too. A great place to relax and read a book with a brew 😌

I have a walk here at least once or twice a week. When the sun is out, it's a lovely 2.5mile walk for me each way. But also when the sun is out, it can be pretty busy. Especially at weekends when they do breakfast barms, although sometimes they do them during the week too, and during holidays. Always a nice atmosphere though. I'm actually sat there\here writing this review now, and it's busy with a full spectrum of visitors, and a few dogs. Be aware that if the weather isn't great, the walk can be pretty muddy though. Food is great as are the drinks, and although I've never tried them, apparently the sausage rolls are brilliant. Well worth the walk. Hidden next to the Mersey and only accessable by foot. Nice to look out at the various birds too around here. Occasionally u may even see the parakeets. Prices are very reasonable, and coffee is good too.

A nice cozy place near Old Trafford Tram Station. Had Mediterranean Breakfast ( without Sausage as I don't eat meat) they were happy to swap the Sausage with hash browns. The bfast was nice and loved it. The coffee here is rightly priced. Will be a regular here.

Had the full English breakfast and a coffee before a United match. The owners were friendly and warm and the food was absolutely delicious and filling.

Amazing value for money and such a friendly place! Popped in on the way to work because I noticed that they sold coffee I ordered a cappuccino with a homemade cookie. For someone so used to the chain coffee shop experience and cost I was slightly taken back by the coffee costing just £2 and the cookie 75p!! I spoke to the staff and she said she makes the treats herself (also the cappuccino was made with an espresso machine). Both items tasted fresh and the coffee/cookie combo was especially nice! I found this so refreshing and I wish this place all the best because we to support more local businesses!

Went in for a cheeky cooked breakfast which was served quickly by super friendly staff, the coffee was really good as well, bought some spinach and feta rolls, moussaka and Baklava. All of them were totally amazing!!! Clearly home cooked with amazing flavors. Definitely worth a visit

had a really nice coffee and sausage sandwich for breakfast/brunch. very tasty and great portion size!! will definitely be back to try the bagels, donuts and pizzas which look amazing!

Me and my partner started coming here over 2 years ago, we had walked past seeing “cocktails, coffee and pizza” which my partner turned to say it’s a place made for me (I often have a cocktail, water and coffee when out). We have been on sunny days in their outside area and inside - both carry the amazing by atmosphere and impeccable music taste. The staff are friendly and maintain really good service, very relaxed and chilled vibes no matter what time of year. Families, friends and dogs are welcome too! The food - we have tried many of their options but have come to have a standard order of the pepperoni hot honey pizza and pumpkin base with ‘nduja and cheese pizza . These are amazing, the dough is unlike most other places, that the crust alone is something to look forward too. The pumpkin is a personal fave, again hard to find else where and even if you can it’s nowhere near as moreish! They also have amazing vegan and gluten free options - which I have tried the vegan, and again, amazing quality and taste. They do have dessert options- the baked cheesecake is also a must try, not normally a fan of them but I for sure have been won. Sad to see this little place go but well deserved and excited to see the new place just down the road! Hoping it goes well and will be back when it opens!

Amazing pizza! I went here yesterday, at 8:15 pm, and the staff were wide awake. They were really nice and funny. Our pizza was really fast to make, and it was delicious. You could definitely see how much effort the chefs put in to the food.

Fantastic spot! The coffee was excellent, and the bagel was absolutely delicious. I had the egg and vegan sausage bagel, which was packed with flavor, while my partner enjoyed the Reuben—both were fantastic. The prices were super reasonable, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. A great place for a quality bite and a great coffee. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, kept me full on less than a tenner which is really good value for money. Great portion sizes, right temperature, cooked correctly, very filling. Can't wait to try everything on the menu. Staff are very attentive and probably the best interaction I've had in the area, with them taking interest of their customers and care. The atmosphere is great. I love the shabby-chicness of the chairs being unique and different, gives a more chilled out vibe. You can choose a softer seat or a harder one, whatever your preference is. The local art is amazing, there's something for everyone, with another wall full of really great quotes to uplift you for sure. Can't wait to come again. I'll pop over for a victory break after my exam !!! 🙌🏽

Georgia is the perfect host for this happy place. Her specialty is serving young children, the elderly and everyone in between. I tried the vegan breakfast. They were out of butter substitute, so a staff member left to go and buy some! That is great service! Food great, scone beautifully made with love, Two cuppas with oat milk. An inclusive place to sit and watch Stretfordians walk by. Ran into my childhood bestie and her Mum. What a lovely sanctuary for the hungry. Thank you, Georgia.

I went for my first time today and was so impressed!! The food is lovely and good portion sizes. My father in law said it was the best chicken Caesar salad he’d ever had. They make their own sauces and cakes as well. If you get a chance try their green smoothie 💚

What a lovely cafe. I've only recently come here it's nice great food, owners are very nice people, they have groups on in the week from making new friends to card making. My grandma comes very regularly loves it,

Absolutely love this place, delicious food and coffee, lovely customer service and everything is so beautiful

Your friendly neighbourhood café on Ayers Rd serving up their own roasted beans, delicious pastry created on site and beautiful gift ideas and special pantry treats.

We just had a latte from here and it has been one of the best I have had for a long time. I would definitely come here again.

Simply the greatest coffee in Manchester without a doubt. It's also so great to support a small coffee roasters and Shen is a very friendly and open owner.

Nice and cosy atmosphere! Very tasty bagels served by polite and helpful personnel. Not too many beers to try but definitely a quite good Gin variety. Highly recommended for everyone! (Nov 2022) ... ... ... Even after almost 2 years (Sep 2024) and after frequent visits the quality, service and staff are exceptional!

I have been to 99 reasons a few times (travelling from the peak district) and I cannot recommend it enough! It's always an absolute delight from start to finish! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a modern yet relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for a cup of coffee, a quick bite or a refreshing beverage!! The menu is has plenty of options, and the presentation is spot-on. The service has always been top-notch, efficient and friendly! The staff are great! I will absolutely be back and would always recommend for a place to be in Chorlton!

I hired out the space for an evening event (birthday) and it was absolutely fab. Perfect size for 30-40 people. Super intimate with really nice lighting. Also, James made it super easy to organise. Would definitely hire it again and can easily recommend it for others. I also come here regularly for food - it's my favourite brunch spot in Chorlton. Great classic fry up.
