Quick info
About Cafe Fresco
Cafe Fresco is a cafe on Stretford Rd in Manchester, open for daytime service Monday to Saturday and closed Sundays. The menu runs to a big English breakfast, served with two slices of toast and a tea or coffee, alongside bacon and egg and sandwiches, with a breakfast in bread option for those wanting something different. Seating is available indoors, though the room has no window and can get smoky, and an outdoor seating area offers an alternative for those who prefer to eat outside. The cafe takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and a step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Takeaway is also available for those eating off site. The business is now under new management by Mandy.
