About The Coffee House Cafe. English cafe

The Coffee House Cafe, an English cafe on Copson St in Manchester, keeps things simple with a walk-in only setup and no need to book ahead. The menu runs through sandwiches, fish and chips, and a full English breakfast, alongside waffles that come with a choice of milk chocolate, white chocolate, or Cadbury's crunchie sauce and a side of coconut ice cream. The entrance is step-free, making it workable for visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating gives an option for eating in the open air. High chairs are on hand for families with young children. It opens Monday to Saturday during the day, staying closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers come for the full English breakfast at a proper greasy spoon, and several single out the Giant Haystack as immense. They describe friendly, cheery staff with plenty of banter, and a local feel they prefer to chains like Costa. Cheap prices come up repeatedly, with one reviewer calling a monster breakfast ridiculously reasonable. Waffles with white chocolate sauce, Oreo topping and coconut ice cream also draw praise as a dessert. Coffee alongside a Full English is mentioned too, and one diner says it left them full until the next day. The caveats are sharper but less frequent. One reviewer found the sandwiches had a weird taste, with burnt fried onions and a steak sandwich that looked like cooked salami, though the fish and chips were good if a bit overcooked. Another found the tables extremely sticky, the music too loud, and reports an upset stomach afterwards. Even so, a regular who stops in after the gym keeps coming back for the full breakfast.
