Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the main draw, and the cappuccino comes up most, including a coconut milk version and one visitor's account of it as the best in a long time. Others praise the Greek coffee, the coffee art and a strong decaf. Food sits close behind: spicy Italian and halloumi focaccia, a sausage barm called excellent, sweet French toast with fresh fruit, and avocado and egg on sourdough, though one reviewer found the eggs slightly underdone. Friendly, helpful staff appear in most reviews, along with a relaxed, comfy atmosphere that suits working or meeting friends. A couple of small gripes are slow WiFi for heavy tasks and benches sitting low against the tables. The criticism is substantial. One former regular reports dirty water glasses, stained plates, poorly wiped tables, a diluted, overly sweet hot chocolate and over-frothed milk. Another describes gritty Oreo waffles with undissolved sugar lumps, a stale packaged sweet and avocado that tasted off. By contrast, one diner given a dish by mistake was offered a replacement at no charge.

“By accident I entered the cafe, not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by the food the service and their halloumi focaccia and the coconut milk cappuccino .. everything was delicious and serving time was quick. They offered a replacement for a dish ordered by mistake with no charges .. now that’s a coffee shop I will revisit for sure.”

“The staff here are friendly and one lady was kind enough to help me with a public transport question. The cappuccino is absolutely delicious, the best I’ve had in a long time (living in Germany). The spicy Italian focaccia was great as well. If I were staying in this area I’d be back often for the cappuccino alone. The benches sit a little low for the height of the tables but otherwise the seating is comfortable and the atmosphere is nice.”

“Best coffee in Manchester? Probably. I come here whenever I’m in the office - Coffee Lab is brilliantly located No matter what side of central you’re in. Greek coffee every time for me- and occasionally a little treat. Gets me through the day, but also a great comfy and warm atmosphere to sit, work, write, meet with friends or just chill and watch the world go by. WiFi is a bit slow if you’re doing heavy data tasks but workable for most other things.”

“Nice little place. Arrived early on a rainy Tuesday morning. Lovely staff, quiet but nice chilled atmosphere overall. Cofee great, class coffee art! Food, avocado/poached eggs on sour dough. Good although eggs slightly under done, just my preference perhaps.”

“Really helpful and friendly staff. Decent breakfast and brunch options to cater many people.. I opted for a small breakfast (not pictured as I was too hungry to wait!) Really good quality food which was fresh and flavoursome. My partner had Sweet French toast and thoroughly enjoyed it. She enjoyed the fresh fruit and the variety that came with it. Would definitely come back”
