Quick info
About Roma cafe
Roma cafe is a greasy spoon cafe in Manchester, at 85 Market St, open daily during the daytime only. The menu centres on breakfast plates built around omelette and eggs, with hashbrowns served alongside, and a bacon barm for those who want a sandwich. Italian dishes share the menu with the breakfast plates, and Penne con Pollo is one of them, so a single table can order from both sides of the kitchen. Iced coffee and milkshakes have recently joined the drinks list. The cafe also takes online orders, which can lengthen the wait at busy times, and it has plenty of places to sit.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw at this cafe, with reviewers praising perfectly cooked eggs, a very generous omelette that arrived tasty and hot, and one of the best hashbrowns one diner had eaten in a while. One reviewer calls it a perfect little traditional greasy spoon. Close behind are the bacon barm, described as so so good, and a Penne con Pollo with tender, well-seasoned chicken and a creamy sauce. Several mention reasonable prices and portions, and friendly, attentive staff who take clear pride in their craft. The atmosphere is called lovely, chilled and cozy, with a family restaurant feel, and reviewers also like the iced coffee and milkshakes the cafe recently started making. Complaints are small but specific. One diner waited around 20 minutes for an omelette while the kitchen was busy with online orders and found the ketchup awful, and another reported that the tuna was off on one visit, with every portion they bought the same, while adding that the food is usually great. One reviewer says they love Roma.

“Lovely chilled atmosphere. Friendly staff. Cheap and cheerful food. Just an overall lovely little cafe which deserves more attention. They recently started to do iced coffee and milkshakes as well which we often struggle to find anywhere else. If you've never been, I'd definitely recommend checking out out!”

“I tried the Penne con Pollo and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was creamy and full of flavor, and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. It’s one of those meals that makes you want to come back for more. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend Roma Café for anyone who loves good Italian food!”
