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

This very cute little coffee stall I have visited several times over the year. It is situated by the main footbridge over the canal in Worsley. Visiting on New Year's day 2024, before walking along the canal. The hot chocolates were lovely as have been the coffees purchased on previous visits.

I come here 4 or 5 times a week without fail & every time the service & the drinks are spot on. The location vt the canal & the Green is stunning, the people here are so very genuinely friendly & Nafi always does his absolute best to look after me. I'm a huge tea lover! And here I can have any type of tea I choose. I also enjoy the seasonal drinks, & the year round hot chocolate is always a favourite with my youngest daughters. It's my go-to place whether I'm out running, cycling, or just in need of a good hot drink in beautiful natural surroundings. Definitely worth a visit, you'll never go anywhere else again! Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Perfect location for a drink stop after a long walk! Caramel milkshake was delicious minus the cream as they had ran out.

Spotted this place on the love Manchester site and decided to cycle down the canal from Sale. Lovely little hut just tucked off the canal. Really decent coffee and a nice seating area to watch the canal. Will try the cakes next time 🙂

The best full English breakfast that I've had in a long time, which by the way, is fairly priced. Many thanks!

Perfect start of the day with a perfectly cooked breakfast, highly recommended.

Great staff and food plus the best Carmel macchiato I have ever had hands down.

Great cafe nice food friendly staff

Not too sure if this was a authentic West Indian chef but all I can say is WOW full of flavour and very plentiful, sadly didn't taste much coconut cream in the rice but all in all 100% recommend. I'll definitely order again before I go home to London next week 😉

I came in yesterday and instantly felt welcomed you could smell the amazing food right away, I got jallof rice and mutton curry , rice and peas with mutton curry now let me tell you I recommend you visit here the food was amazing so much flavour, big portion sizes , very very good for the price everything was spot on i recommend this to the rest of my family 10000/10 experience

Came across this place after long ride. Was hungry. The smell that came out, The setting and vibe. So gave it a go, with chicken burger and chips. Wow, the chicken has stunning flavour, moist, nice thin crispy outer, so damn good. The chips are well......Banging, and fair portion and for the price. Love this place so much, its our regular and go often. The owner is a top notch bloke, polite, very welcoming, accommodating always, always a laugh, Not a bad word about him. Superb place and food 👍

very tasty workers breakfast, good price, definitely will back

Came here as I was waiting for a car service nearby. Great little cafe. Friendly service. I had a large breakfast. The bacon was absolute top quality. Food really nice and served on hot plates. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area. Reasonable prices too

Fantastic service at this cafe. Called up and dealt with a very polite and helpful staff member who gave me an idea of options to eat. I had jacket potato and freshly made jerk chicken. It was well presented and very tastey! Any working lads wanting something healthy on the road - these women will be happy to help! A clean business with nearby free parking. Toilet in the back for customer use. Welcoming atmosphere and good craic in there! Highly recommended 😃

Absolutely amazing food great atmosphere would definitely call in again and would say for everyone to call in very tasty and clean

Had a group lunch with a french learning class of people here today . The restaurant was first class , the food was excellent quality and presented expertly. Great service 👏 and fantastic ambience . Super value for money and well done to all involved at this college training venue .

Had a wonderful evening at the Glass House. With a fabulous menu choice. Was very impressed with the variety of dishes and their uniqueness. Food was lovely, very well presented, cooked and tasty. The staff were amazing, so friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and also entertaining. Curtis, Nikolai and Mason were super helpful and made the evening very enjoyable. Amazing value for money. The Glass House also were selling some home made pastries, savouries and desserts, absolutely lovely. Thank you

Nice restaurant situated in the College. Service was good. Waitress was attentive and friendly but as I imagine she was still in training she couldn't answer most of the questions we and other diners had on what the food was. Food itself was decent and well presented, though my partner's liver was overcooked and his main was over seasoned. My dishes were quite nice, had the soup, lamb and cheesecake. Overall, for the price it was a good experience and it's nice to see these young people learn the tricks of the trade.

First class dining experience. Would definitely recommend The Glass House for a lunchtime meal or an evening dinner. The food is amazing, especially at the price you pay. The quality of the food, flavours and presentation, aling with the excellent service, are all equal to anything you would have at a high class restaurant or on a cruise ship. The students and staff are to be congratulated on their achievements. We have been going to the Glasd House for a number of years and have always been extremely satisfied with the whole experience. The warm welcome from Tina & Curtis sets the tone for your dining experience, they certainly know how to make each customer feel special.

First time eating here, loved the pizza and honey butter rings, Harry our waiter was fab the whole evening, thank you for a great evening, will be back

Visited on a Monday night, restaurant was busy! Always a good sign. Amazing pizzas, accompanied by scissors to cut up, much better than a pizza wheel. And the biggest portion of olives I've ever had in a restaurant. Owner and waitress (phoebe) attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!!!

Highly recommend, Pizza is fresh and quick. Amazing flavour and a variety of options. Staff really friendly and helpful. Really nice homely vibe to it 👌🏽. The Honey Butter Rings definitely lived up to the hype.

Food and drinks were amazing! We've been dying to try for ages and it was so worth it. Georgia was our waitress for the night and she was so lovely and friendly. All the staff were really nice. Couldn't recommend this spot enough

This place is amazing. The food is tasty, comforting and well priced. The coffee, whichever one you try is excellent and there's is always great service with a smile and friendly chat. Good job I don't live nearer. I'm trying to loose weight.

It needs a sectioned off area or own store. To have shoppers walking by and you in the way isn't great. Coffee and drinks are good, Food is great. It's a pit stop when it could be a place to go.

A lovely little place to have a drink and cake. Good coffee and good selection of cakes. Also a good choice of hot/cold food for lunch at really reasonable prices. Great for a small spa. Would go again

Great place! I was surprised with quality and range of beverages. Lady working there was very nice and helpful. There is toilet and changing unit for babies. I'll be a regular customer there 😊 oh and coffee was delicious 😋

Friendly atmosphere, dogs welcome, large outdoor space at rear and plenty of seating outdoors and some inside for colder months. Hot drinks and snacks, staff efficient and friendly. Can get busy inside with various groups meeting, but also quieter spells during the day . Well worth dropping by. 😊

An excellent place to visit. The park is lovely to walk round with the dogs, then food and drink at the pavilion.

I popped in for a cup of tea as I was passing on my walk. A lovely welcoming cafe. I sat outside overlooking the old bowling green, a very peaceful place to sit and enjoy beautiful Parr Fold park

I really love this place. My favourite place in UK. Especially Karen shes a darling. Everyone around this place is so humble and welcoming. Keep up the good work.

This is not just a cafe, it is a community. Karen and Ed, are 2 of the nicest, caring people, ive ever met. Along with all their staff, especially Grace, they go above and beyond. The bonus is the food is absolutely delicious. Wishing them all the very best x

Probably the best cafe I have been to. Never come across a place like this. So welcoming and friendly, feels very homely and Cosby inside. The man serving was very polite and accommodating with lots of choices given. Lovely food, could stay as long as I wanted with no rush fee to the place. I Will definitely come back here more regularly

Best chippy around. I personally know the owners so you could say I’m biased, however the food is always amazing every time you go. I recommend the Salt & Pepper chips - I have them every time I go and never get fed up of them! The fish is the tastiest around and the fish to batter ratio is perfect. Chinese food is outstanding and the service is always brilliant every time, whether it’s quiet (very rare) or extremely busy. The only negative in my opinion is the queueing system. It’s separate for Chinese food/kebabs and burgers to ordering your fish and chips. I’m always confused as to which counter to go to when I’m in the shop! So I usually park and wait outside and send whoever I’m with in instead!

First time I’ve visited the chippy today. It was excellent. Fish was amazing large, white fish thin batter. Staff lovely and friendly. Definitely worth a visit. Plus it opens on a Monday.

Great chippy. Good selection of food.
