The week
Three days off, four days properly open
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the door stays shut. Thursday through Sunday it opens at eight in the morning and stays open until five in the afternoon — the same hours on a Thursday as on a Sunday, so there is nothing to check twice.
Eight is early enough for breakfast before work and five is late enough for a slow Sunday. In between it runs as a sit-down room: table service, seating indoors, and tables outside when Manchester allows it.
If you are counting on us for a Monday coffee, count again — and put Thursday in the diary instead.
What people order
Coffee, a proper tea list, and dessert that gets named
Three things come up again and again in the reviews: the coffee, the tea selection and the dessert. That is the shape of the place — a cafe people come back to for what is in the cup as much as what is on the plate.
Breakfast, brunch and lunch through the day, dinner and dessert at the later end, plus quick bites and prepared food if you are not staying. Vegan and vegetarian options are on, and so are lighter, healthier plates.
Eat in or take it away. There is no delivery — it comes to your table or you come and get it.

Asked often enough to answer here
Can the dog come in?
Yes. Dogs are welcome inside and at the outdoor tables, so you do not have to pick between a coffee and a wet lead in the rain.
Do you deliver?
No delivery. It is dine-in with table service, or takeaway from the counter — and there are outdoor tables if you would rather sit outside.
Where do I park?
Free street parking around Barlow Moor Road. There is no dedicated accessible parking bay listed for the cafe, so plan for that if you need one.
Anything for vegans?
Vegan and vegetarian options are part of the offering, along with healthier plates and quick bites for when you have twenty minutes rather than an hour.
Is it fine to come on my own?
It is one of the things the place is known for. Solo breakfast and solo lunch both work here, and so do groups and families — casual room, table service.

4.8out of 5, from 261 Google reviews
That is a high score held over a lot of reviews, which is harder than a high score held over ten. Read them yourself rather than take our word for it — then come on a Thursday morning and see whether they were right.
