  “This has become a go to spot…been here several times. The place is super inviting with friendly staff and lovely aroma of the bread being baked ! The Classic Ruben sandwich + Egg Sandwich are my fav, it’s worth the price! Very filling so, I’d come hungry or perfect to share with someone :) Fresh toast is a must try. The coffee happens to also be outstanding.”

  “Visited on a rainy morning and didn’t need to wait to be seated, which was a nice start. You order through the app, but it took a while for the coffee to arrive, and when it did it was lukewarm seems to be a bit of a theme with coffee in Manchester. The doughnuts were exceptional and honestly worth going back for on their own. We also had the egg sandwiches and shared the hash browns, but the hash browns were only fried on one side, and unfortunately the sandwiches left us both feeling unwell afterwards. Also be prepared to wait everything takes ages. Staff were friendly and the place looks nice, I don’t usually seek out viral spots but happened to be walking past. It’s fine, but between the lukewarm coffee and the food issues, I wouldn’t rush back.”

  “Cinnamon Bun - £3.95 Americano, No Milk - £3.50 This place is legit. The cinnamon bun is off the charts. They bake their goods in-house. You can watch them make stuff. Legit wish they did pour overs for coffee, but I'm accepting the fact that espressos are the norm here in the UK. At first, the staff seem pretty cold, but that first impression wore off once I sat and ordered. Great stuff. A friend recommended coming here before leaving Manchester, and I'm glad I did. Highly (doubly highly) recommend.”

  “Absolutely lovely food the katsu curry sandwjtch and the vanilla capachino are amazing and the desserts looked lovely. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. The place looked gave off homemade woth all the bags of flour and sugar all on display. Unfortunately my skinny bum started to hurt after a while due to the seats being metal bars and the bathroom didn't have any hand soap but this would not stop me from coming back. Lovely place.”

  “I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Gooey 103 High Street today for the first time & will most definitely be back (plus I'm going to treat my sons as I know they will love it too!). When I got there just before 12 noon there was a queue...which to be fair is always a positive sign. We were looked after brilliantly by the lovely Nathan, such a bubbly young lad who treated us to samples of warm cookies while we waited. As I was on my own Nathan got me a lovely seat, explained everything to me & nothing was too much trouble. I had the egg sandwich which was divine. I probably waited 15 minutes or so for my food but did not mind as everything is so frsh. Loved that tap water was also available. Overall I enjoyed every minute thanks to Nathan. The best front of house guy ever!! Thank you so much ❤️”

  “Came here with friends for brunch, Really good food which came out fairly quickly. The French toast was so good. The iced latte was also one of the best I’ve had. It’s a little pricey but for the price it’s pretty good. I’d definitely recommend to anyone in the area.”

  “Insane gooeyness at Manchester and this French toast absolutely delivered. Thick cut, golden crisp on the outside, soft and almost custard-like in the middle, soaked just enough to stay rich without feeling heavy. The melting butter and warm syrup took it to another level. Comfort food done properly, with every bite balancing crunch, sweetness and that perfect fluffy centre. One of those dishes that makes you pause after the first bite and just appreciate it.”

  “First visit to Gooey. Is it worth the hype and wait? Probably, not. Que as usual. Nice touch by giving us a sample of milk chocolate cookie- nicest thing we tried. After waiting outside we get a bar seat and then they informed us another 25 minute wait for food. Bonus point, food is halal except the bacon sandwich. We ordered separately and my sisters came after 19 minutes and mine after 27 minutes. Egg Sandwich was disappointingly cold but tasted okay. It did not mention if it was going to be warm. Hash browns - greasy. Avo and toast. Bread interesting but dry. Avo fresh and egg warm. Nothing special. We should have stuck to sweets. Coffee and the strawberry peppermint ice tea are good. Worth the wait... No. Service was friendly, even though I asked for brown sugar and got white for my coffee. Would I return? Maybe for a sweet treat. If you are wanting takeaway you can skip the line.”

  “The best French toast I’ve ever had. It was syrupy with a surprising centre and a huge portion - definitely one for sharing. The avocado toast wasn’t for me - I’m sure others would like it but I don’t think the flavours meshed well together - there were too many flavours competing with each other. Keep it simple imo. The white chocolate cookie was really good - generous filling and all round winner. Will bring family here soon! A bit of a wait for a table - there were 4 of us - but once we got in service was great and food didn’t take too long to arrive. Katsu chicken sandwich was good too.”

  “The cherry brownie French toast instantly caught my attention when I saw on there instagram. It sounded like a strange combination but in the best way. When I finally tried it, I really enjoyed it. Rich, indulgent & surprisingly well balanced, with the cherry cutting through the sweetness nicely. It felt playful & unique. We did have to wait outside in the queue for a good 30–45 minutes before getting a table, but once inside it felt worth it. A fun spot when you’re in the mood for something a bit different.”
