  “I'm fortunate enough to have Bold Street be my regular spot for coffee/lunch whilst at work. Usually I'm after a good filter coffee and somewhere use my laptop which is for sure provided here but the outstanding quality of Bold Street is the staff friendliness. I've been coming to Bold Street for almost a year and the highlight of my work day is coming into the cafe and being greeted with warmth and some good chat. The team seems very much like a family, have a had some stun service from Holly, Charlie, D'naje, Flynn, Connor, Adam and Hannah - even the kitchen staff are good vibes and will say hi when they can. Also they play great music - and the soft serve is delicious.”

  “Had such a lovely experience at Bold Street Coffee. As someone who is gluten free it can sometimes be difficult to find good options but they made me a fantastic gluten free chicken club sandwich that was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Conner who was so helpful talking me through the menu suggesting suitable options, and making switch outs to suit my dietary requirements. Nothing felt like too much trouble and the customer service really stood out. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone especially if you’re gluten free!”

  “We visited during an university open day, it was so busy everywhere and the weather was hot. Staffs were lovely, food were also nice. The prices are a little bit expensive, the chicken bagel cost £11, the breakfast I think it was £17. Plus drinks order on top. I had a chai iced drink, it was a little bit watery and weak to me. Location is defo convenient.”

  “I visited Bold Street Coffee at University Green at 11:15 am on 26 June. It’s conveniently located just off Oxford Road, close to University Place, making it an easy stop for students and staff. The café serves a selection of coffees, breakfast sandwiches and pastries in a modern setting. Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing. The biggest issue was the service. The member of staff at the counter spent around five minutes chatting with the person in the queue they appeared to know which caused to queue to grow excessively long during that period. When I was eventually served, the interaction wasn’t particularly friendly or welcoming. The coffee was equally underwhelming. My iced latte cost £4.90, which feels exceptionally expensive, especially given the quality. It tasted very weak and overly diluted by the ice, lacking the richness and strength you’d expect at that price point. Overall, this was a poor experience. Between the inattentive service, disappointing coffee and high prices, I don’t feel it offers good value for money, particularly given the number of excellent independent coffee shops in the Oxford Road area”

  “Had a great iced V60 today, the fruity flavour notes were really clear and smooth. Connor explained the different coffee beans they had and helped me choose based on my preferences. His explanations were really clear and helpful for picking the perfect V60 with the flavour notes I enjoy. Big thanks to barista Connor for such a great experience.”

  “I think this place is amazing, I got a coffee today from Conor and Charlie. Me and my partner go here all the time and we love it, the atomosphere is amazing and the staff are always welcoming and warm. Also, in my opinion it is the best coffee around the uni area. I even buy my own beans from here as they are great. For people who like decaf coffee the bold street own decaf is really nice and a personal fav for when I make my own coffee. Also they always have amazing caffeinated options. I also love the food here and its a really nice date place for those who want a cute date :)”

  “. As of 04/05/2026 (Lunch) Taste：7️⃣ Environment：7️⃣ Seating：7️⃣ Service：5️⃣ Portion size：5️⃣ Value for money：3️⃣ *on a scale of ten Overall Score：57 / 100 Average cost per person：£14.80 💖>👍🏻>🤙🏻>👌🏻>✋🏻>👎🏻 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ As expected from a café in a university area, the vibe was unmistakable. The moment I stepped inside, almost every customer had their headphones on, with a notebook on the table and a cup of coffee by their side. For a second, I felt like I had travelled back to my university days — that youthful energy instantly returned. This time, I ordered the café’s signature dish — Egg Buoy (£10.20). It definitely lived up to expectations. The butter-toasted brioche bun was soft, fragrant, and incredibly satisfying. I also had a latte (£4.30), beautifully presented with delicate latte art, and the flavour was smooth and well-balanced. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 👍🏻 Egg Buoy 🤙🏻Latte 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 🅿️ No on-site parking available. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Bold Street Coffee University Green 140 Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9GP”

  “Decent spot to grab your coffee and light meals with warm ambience to hang out with friends. However the menu is unreasonably expensive in proportion to order places!”

  “Absolutely gorgeous coffee and the pan au chocolat is to die for, but the service is what keeps you coming back. Really personable and friendly staff, not just with me but with everyone I witnessed coming in... and they have houseplants for sale too! What more could you ask for. 5stars!! 🌟💛”
