Quick info
About Cafe North
Cafe North is a cafe at 66 Shudehill in Manchester, serving an international breakfast menu with many ways to customise a meal. Eggs Benedict and eggs with beans and sausages cover the morning plates. Homemade tomato soup, toasties and panini cover the lunch end, so the same menu works across the day. Drinks run from smoothies and coffee to chai latte. The room has large windows and well-spaced seating, which gives each table some space. At busy times a queue forms at the door, and guests wait to be seated. Earl Grey tea is also on the drinks list for anyone who wants something other than coffee.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the breakfasts, with the full English and the American pancakes singled out as the best some have eaten in years, and eggs Benedict, sweetcorn fritters and a veggie breakfast with hash browns also praised. Close behind are lunch plates such as a pesto, halloumi and tomato ciabatta, a ham and cheese panini with homemade tomato soup, a steak sandwich with crisp fries, and an omelette described as fresh and piping hot. Coffee, chai latte, Earl Grey and smoothies get good words, and the staff are called welcoming and efficient at finding tables. The main complaint is waiting: one reviewer describes a queue to get in, a further wait for the order to be taken, and a slow arrival of food at peak times, though another found lunch service fast. One diner found the English breakfast bland, with a slightly pink sausage, an overcooked egg and a sparse plate, though the mushrooms were great. One reviewer asked for bottles of brown sauce instead of sachets.

“Staff were really lovely and helped us find a table within no time. It’s really popular and there are queues at the door but the staff work as efficiently as possible to ensure there is a consistent turn around!”

“Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Everything was spot on—the eggs, beans, and sausages were all really delicious. It’s a great spot to start the day, especially with a nice cup of Earl Grey tea. The interior is super cozy and has a great vibe. Definitely planning to come back again soon. Highly recommended!”

“Very nice cozy atmosphere. The staff were very kind and extremely helpful. The cafe itself is cozy with huge open windows and well spaced seating. My only issue however is the food. I ordered an English breakfast which turned out to be quite disappointing.The mushrooms were great but everything else tasted quite bland and undercooked. My sausage was slightly pink and my egg was overcooked. Along side this my plate looked empty as I received 1 item of each food (photo attached). Overall, great place for some food however I found the food to be a little disappointing”

“After a nightmare trying to find somewhere for breakfast we ended up at Cafe North. We were certainly pleased we did. An English breakfast and eggs Benedict, both excellent. Decent cup of coffee to top it off, only thing I'd say is give us bottles of brown sauce instead of sachets 😝”
