  “Great portion sizes especially for the pancakes. French toast was delicious - I had apple and cinnamon. Passion fruit and lemon ice cream was refreshing and complimented the food well.”

  “service was great the servers were nice and attentive. the fully loaded veggie was tasty and well made however the avo and halloumi bagel - can’t say the same. there was an incredibly thin layer of avocado (as shown in photo it barely covered the bagel) and the Eggs were not great. seemed very stingy and the bagel was chewy + not toasted. advertised as “comes with sun dried tomatoes”… wasn’t expecting 1 baby tomato cut in half?? so that dish was not good at all (£14 if u can believe it) but the other one was okay.”

  “Delicious food, super friendly service and great vibes ✨ I enjoyed the sweet potato eggs Benedict with a flat white coffee. Really tasty and generous size portion. Cafe is walk-ins but I only had to wait a few minutes for a table. Staff are all lovely, special thanks to Taylor who makes everyone feel welcome - an absolute star ⭐”

  “Food was absolutely amazing and the milkshakes too 😋, (I had the American breakfast and my daughter had Bueno pancakes). Service was quick and the waiter came with added personality. Overall, despite the queue to get in it was well worth it and we will be going back.”

  “Delicious full English Breakast and fluffy pancakes! After looking around Manchester for a place to eat breakfast we stumbled across Cafe 19. We went with the full english breakfast (2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomatoe and toast) and the fluffy pancakes with fruit and maple syrup. You could tell everything was made to order, a little wait but well worth it. If you are looking for a good place to eat for breakfast or brunch. I would highly recommend here. Theres outdoor and indoor dining with plenty of seats.”

  “My daughter wanted to visit because she’d seen this place all over social media. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Unfortunately, my son started having stomach problems after eating about half of his Oreo pancakes. While we were out shopping afterwards, we had to keep looking for toilets, and later that afternoon he had a few more bites of the pancakes we’d taken away and the same thing happened again. The rest of us all had different meals and were completely fine, so I can’t say for certain what caused it, but it was the only issue we experienced. One thing that did surprise us was the 10% service charge added to the bill. Our breakfast for four went from just over £70 to over £80. We hadn’t been charged a service fee at any of the other breakfast places we visited during our trip, so I didn’t notice it when paying, and the waitress didn’t mention it either.”

  “Got here early (recommend doing that based on other reviews) and didn't wait at all to be seated. We chose outside as it was gorgeous out. Firstly, staff are brilliant. Always around, attentive and just laid back & friendly. Secondly, the coffee's. I got a hazelnut oat cappuccino & my gf got a regular one - both beautiful, perfectly pulled shots and piping hot. Last but not least the food. 10/10 - I got the bacon & black pudding eggs benedict and my gf got the apple & cinnamon French toast. Both incredible, the bacon was the star of the show on mine with beautifully poached good quality eggs (lovely dark golden runny yokes), well cooked spinach and a hollandaise sause that had a Smokey cheesey element to it. Just great. The French toast was a show stopper. The presentation, the fluffy thick toast, the beautiful ice cream.. and incredibly not too sweet! Like I tried some of my go's and I could of actually ordered that, and I'm not huge on "sweet" things for meals - so very impressed. Paired perfectly with the coffee's. Overall I was very impressed. We're from Liverpool (bout an hour's drive on a good day if you don't know), we had stayed over for a show.. and I'd honestly drive here and back just for this food again. Definitely go, definitely be brave & order what you fancy as it seems it's all excellent. Hat's off to the chefs seriously 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

  “First time coming and it was an absolute hidden gem. I got the full English and my partner got the french toast. Both were absolutely lovely, I had a few exchanges as I don't like mushrooms, tomatoes, or black pudding and they were happy to change them for other items. The service was spectacular, Emily and Isaac both served us and were all smiles and helpfulness. The only downside is the area outside the cafe looks a little rundown, a place this good deserves to be at the front of piccadilly”

  “Highly disappointed. Long-story- short: • Food - mid, 5/10 • service - okay, 5.5/10 • Atmosphere - pretty nice, 8/10 We arrived and there was a long queue which js normal for a cafe that is popular but we waited nearly an hour in the cold and it took forever for us to be seated. The cafe was full when we first arrived in the line but slowly over time tables left. You’d expect the staff to clean the tables and then let the next people in the Que inside but no. The staff cleaned the tables and waited for more tables to finish and leave and also clean them AND THEN once there was 2-3 tables available they’d let multiple in the queue at the same time which to me makes zero sense. Not only does this make the people inter queue annoyed and hungry but by letting multiple people in, then eveyone ordered at the same time the food takes forever to come ( which is what happened ). If they had just cleaned a table and then let someone/people sit down at that table it’d be fine. Now for the food, we ordered the full English and an American breakfast ( with French toasts ). The full English tasted pretty good but the bacon was hard and lukewarm, same for the beans. The bacon on the American breakfast was also lukewarm and the French toasts could’ve been sweeter and cooked better. Both overpriced for what they were ( especially the American, anyone could’ve made it at home for cheaper and more portions too). The employees were really friendly however and made sure to check on us. Just a shame the service could’ve been quicker. Overall this Cafe is overrated and would only recommend coming once and only if it’s not busy. 5/10”

  “The ambience and vibe of the restaurant were absolutely electric. All the staff were incredibly friendly, and I had such a great experience eating there. The customer service was a solid 10/10—I was even happy to pay the service charge because the service was that good. This was my second time visiting, and both experiences have been perfect. I’ll definitely keep coming back for years to come. Honestly, everyone who works there deserves a raise. The vibes are beyond immaculate.And the food is always made perfectly. And the prices are so affordable by the way !!”
