Quick info
About Library Cafe
Library Cafe is a cafe in Salford that serves the University of Salford's exclusive Brotherton Beans coffee blend, so the coffee on the counter is one you will not find under that name elsewhere. Pastries and sweet treats sit alongside it, and grab-and-go options cover a quick stop on the way to somewhere else. The cafe works for study sessions, meetings and catch-ups with friends, and the same menu serves all three. Service is walk-in, so there is no booking to arrange before you arrive.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the atmosphere, with one calling the interior nice and the place uniquely cool. Friendly staff and a good spot for a quick break come up, and one reviewer enjoyed a hot meal at a good price. Pricing divides opinion, and one reports it as steep. Another says it is hardly ever open, and one reviewer notes an extra charge just for the cup.

“Really cool place, it is uniquely cool. Nice interior and atmosphere. Good prices on both food and drink. It’s nice to a hot meal for under a tenner. 10/10 recommendation”
