All Things Nice in Cheshire East

I was visiting Macclesfield this week on a business trip and had The Herbivore (vegan-friendly) breakfast here. It was so tasty that I returned the next day and had it again. Staff are wonderful too, highly recommend.

Excellent service and food. Exquisite cakes.

Cream tea was amazing. Delicious food, plenty of sandwiches with lovely fillings. Good selection of cakes and sandwiches. Will definitely go again!

All Things Nice is a lovely cafe in Macclesfield, which at first sight may only seem like a small bakery/coffee shop, but after a step inside unfolds to become a lovely cafe/restaurant for a bite to eat, a good coffee and good times with friends. We came by on a Friday and were looking for a quick coffee on the go, but after stepping inside decided to stay for a pastry and a coffee. Inside there is plenty of seating. All Things Nice has a very warm atmosphere which is provided by cozy, rustical, wooden design of the place with plenty of attention to detail to make you feel well. Food was delicious. Menu had plenty to offer, but we settled on a pistachio croissant and a warm sausage role, which came with a nice little salad and some of the best pickled onions ever. Both were very good and are a definite recommendation if you have a small appetite or want something to go. Service was friendly and quick. We were seated nicely next to the open coffee bar and served quickly too. No complaints on that end. Atmosphere was good too. As mentioned previously very nice vibe and decoration, though the place was full and it got quite loud at times. A definite recommendation to anybody. If you're alone, with friends or with family and a party of any size, this is a place you can rely on for good food and nice coffee.

Very popular and busy cafe selling a wide range and an interesting selection of very tasty sandwiches on different types of bread - be warned, unless you have hollow legs, the sandwiches are huge and would serve two. We went on the day of the Treacle Market so food wait times were about 30 mins, which we were warned about in advance. The speciality hot chocolates are well worth a try.

Yummy brunch, nice place to sit for a bit.

Tables are to close to each other, not enough space between them, food was good but overpriced and expensive for a Café, drinks are ok

Came for brunch with the girls and my food didn’t arrive. They told me it would be 10 mins as they only had one chef, but lots of other food came out while I waited. At the point them came to clear my friends plates they said it would be a few more mins, so I told them not to bother. Mistakes happen, I understand, but there was barely even an apology. I left starving and went for food elsewhere. Very disappointing!

Fabulous food, really affordable, definitely recommend

Food was ok. Staff were friendly.

Our first visit was during Brunch and we didn’t have the best experience - we felt rushed to eat up and give up our seats. The waitress was quite pushy with this, giving us our bill before we finished eating. We would’ve stayed for longer and ordered more drinks otherwise. We thought we’d give it another try and on the second visit, we went a bit later and had a much better experience. The sandwiches were huge and great value for money. The staff were really pleasant and not as rushed off their feet. The atmosphere of the cafe is nice, cozy & comfortable. The music can be a little loud. Would recommend coming during quieter hours for the best experience.

Lovely place for lunch Really nice atmosphere !

Excellent foods but I having to paying over £11 for a loaf, two tins Sanpelagrino and a scone not a place where one can shop too often.

Was recommended this place for nice lunch, was told one lunch could feed two! It's true you get generous portions, we got a sandwich each and they were doorstop size.. Plus chips! Lovely staff too

Delicious! Best quiche I've had in ages!

Really disappointed. I was in Macclesfield for a course and popped in as the deli counter caught my eye as I walked past. However nobody serving. I was a little concerned at all the pastries on show for people to just pick up. Put me off a little bit. However once the waitress came over from the back corner (she was nibbling away at a snack) I decided to choose a scotch egg. A personal favourite. In fairness she was really polite and courteous. Sadly the scotch egg was dreadful. The paper bag was saturated in grease in minutes and this was a cold item. The coating was quite tough and the egg seemed to have shrivelled a bit inside and I got a bit worried about its freshness so after a bite or two I threw it away.

Absolutely gorgeous lunch. Lovely wine. Best ploughman's sharing platter I think I've ever had. Wonderful service. I think it was one girls first day and she was absolutely lovely! Highly recommended.

Nipped in for the first time today for a scotch egg. Absolutely delicious, best scotch egg I've had in a long time, the egg was lovely and jammy! I had to go back for a second one it was so good! Definitely recommend.

Cold soup served asked to warm it still came back cold

Lovely staff and building, but lack lustre food with issues from the get go. Firstly we had to return a pot of tea as the milk provided had turned and produced large white floating lumps. Secondly my breakfast has a series of issues, hard bacon, rock solid toast and a black pudding with the consistency of sand, extremely disappointing and left mostly uneaten. Although and I will happily confirm the sausages were beyond excellent! The steak and eggs ordered by my wife were ok, but I wouldn’t describe it as a steak more of a sliver of beef, very disappointing. Lastly and only a minor point but the glass I was given for my water had a slight white powdery residue in it which I suspect came from the dish washer, not the end of the world but added to all the other issues it just made me sad. Again I can’t fault the serving staff as they were lovely and friendly dealing with our issues and those of other patrons visiting at the time, bravo to you for keeping a warm smile and a happy demeanour!

Exceptional food. So tasty and visually appealing. Great range of vegetarian and vegan. Tasty cakes too! Is both child and dog friendly - we weren't sure as it didn't look like it was for either!

Perfection. The food options were very appealing and had a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options. Food was presented beautifully and was incredible! Kids food menu was good value for money. Staff were friendly and efficient. We also took cakes away and they were delicious. Highly recommend.

Can u tell me were to get Cheshire forge cheese please 🙏

Nice cafe and super staff. Bakery is excellent :)

Nice cafe. The guys who work there are really friendly and they have good coffee

I had lunch with my 3 sisters and we did have to wait a while for the good as it was so busy but when it arrived, it was delicious. Excellent quality food, beautifully presented. A Macclesfield gem.

Service friendly. Coffee and cakes ok. Feta dish overpriced and extremely basic, huge chunks of cucumber, tasteless tomatoes and other than the feta not a lot more. Wouldn't return

We had passed a few cafes before choosing this one. So glad we did. The food in the bakery looked amazing. We were more than happy with our choices and loved everything we had. The service couldn’t have been better. Attentive but not pushy. Very friendly staff who showed great enthusiasm. One of those times we were glad we hadn’t seen any previous reviews in advance. Would certainly recommend.

Fantastic food....great atmosphere....keep on keeping on dudes.....

Great gluten free options, lovely coffee and service too

Very nice food and staff welcome.

Not made to feel at all welcome. Told where to sit in spite of there being many empty tables - did move from where I had been put to my choice of table. Ordered 1 slice of toast and an Americano. Coffee arrived promptly. Toast arrived 20 minutes later when I asked someone where it was. It arrived stone cold. Not allowed 1 piece of toast - left the unwanted slice to be thrown away. As my coffee was stone cold when toast arrived. I did not enjoy my breakfast one bit. I can not recommend this place and will not be returning.

Friendly staff, efficient service and great tasting decaff coffee. All good

Great food and service. We had the homemade potato cakes with eggs and the French toast. The menu has lots of choice and they will do a half portion of anything on there for kids. The bakery/deli looked amazing. I'll definitely be back.

Such a lovely place for brunch and they are very dog friendly. Tom was amazing, he was so welcoming and we really loved it here. The staff were friendly, great food, reasonable prices and a nice ambiance. Would definitely recommend and return.

Should be called all things adequate. Overpriced food which was not worth it at all, out of stock for a lot of items, service was OK Sausage cold on the inside Scrambled eggs lovely Toasted bread barely toasted Latte nice Snide selection of cakes, which I avoided after a disappointing breakfast. If you’re easily satiated by the ordinary then this is the place for you. I will stick to gastown in the future.

Lovely bacon sandwich and coffee. Very pleasant staff.

Cycled NCN55 from Stockport and had this cafe recommended by the local traffic warden. We ordered a Herbivore sharing board. It was outstanding. The onion bhaji was the best we have ever tasted, made by the cafe chef. The falafel was also pretty special.

You have to visit this little gem !! We need to support this independent business !! Visited 2 December 2023 had the Christmas sharing plate words cannot describe how wonderful the food was .we also had the cheese board it was the best selection of cheese I’ve ever had .this place is a must for any foodie lover ,great atmosphere,great staff the best customer service .whats not to love !!! Plus live music simply amazing VISIT you won’t regret it

Visited All Things Nice today and WOW what a fantastic experience! We only called in for a coffee and light snack. The coffee was so rich and creamy I had to have a second and the toasted teacake ... well where do I begin it was by far the best teacake I have ever tasted everything about it was just dreamy and it came out pre buttered (and they weren't stingy on the butter!) The staff were friendly and efficient and the atmosphere inside was lovely! I did also have a nosey at people's plates either side of me and looked great, we will be back for more sooner rather than later!

Food was out of this world full of flavour the onion bhajis were to die for Great place to eat a hidden jem Worth the journey from Cannock

Popped in for brunch. Pretty busy. Great having the deli / bakery section. Staff lovely.

Food was very tasty but service a bit inattentive. What was disappointing was that my husband called up twice to make them aware of a dietary requirement, he was told it could be handled with no problem. Unfortunately when our afternoon tea arrived it did include the food that I couldn’t eat. I wouldn’t be confident eating here with coeliac disease or the equivalent.

I am afraid would agree with other reviews - very expensive and not great experience. Purchased small piece of Brie cheese - poor quality charged £3.00 and sourdough loaf £5.00 which was stale. Will not return.

Fantastic lunchtime vibe i had a first rate rare beef and horseradish sandwich with freshly made thick multi seeded bread plus fresh side salad, fully recommend .

Refused service after letting them know I have a nut allergy. I waited over half an hour for a table only to be told when I eventually had my order taken which was embarrassing. This information was not put on the menu, door of the shop or their website. I have never had this problem elsewhere even in other small bakeries. Food allergies are considered physical disabilities so this is discrimination. They appear to have completely misunderstood the food standards agency guidelines on avoiding allergen cross contamination.

First time eating here, all looks very nice inside and outside the cafe. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the price lets it down. Extremely overpriced for what you get. Staff are very friendly. We placed our order and the food came out within about 10mins and was cold so food is clearly not cooked to order. Very disappointing, I think if you’re expected to pay nearly £15 for a breakfast it should be cooked fresh. Coffee was nice, would go in for a coffee again but won’t be buying food from here again.

One of the best in Macclesfield. Good coffee and cake and do great breakfasts. Have own bakery so great cakes and pastries offering something different from Costa,cafe Nero and coffee one which are all boring chains

What a lovely place! We enjoyed a coffee and some food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend, and we'll be going back some time soon hopefully.

Lovely Friday evening Indian, excellent food and atmosphere. Service spot on, definitely worth a visit! We had the sharing board followed by delicious cheeses. Great drinks menu, try a G&Tea!

As usual, wonderful food and great service. The current Indian menu is really nice, top marks!

I was refused service due to having a nut allergy, and had to leave shortly after sitting down. This was embarrassing for me and is just inexcusable in today's era

I visited on s wet Wednesday afternoon. The welcome received was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble. There was a covered outside seating area. Where I was able to sit with my little dog Charlie. The refreshments were nice. The place also had an excellent cheese counter serving artisan cheese. I would not hesitate in recommendimg this establishment to anyone I would certainly visit again when I am in the area.

Lovely brunch. Ploughman's more than enough for two. Really enjoyed it.

Lovely food. Bit pricey but worth it

A real gemstone for brunch and coffee with lovely staff.

Not only some of the best baked goods nationwide, but The best place to have dinner in Macc hands down. Best service and incredible menus. Needs to be full every night, get in people!

This time only went in for cuppa tea but very nice the staff were great very helpful I will be going back with my partner

The food here is OK but the portions are small and the price is high. I had potato cakes which seemed frozen and watery. What sets it apart is the literally surly attitude of some staff, not to mention the scruffy clothes they wore. Some people ought not to be in hospitality, or need to be properly trained. If you want a better, reasonably priced meal with professional level, plesaant service, go to Plums Kitchen or Nomas nearby.

Our new fave spot! We have visited for evening small plates but mainly for breakfast and brunch. Fantastic vegetarian options and the coffee is great! It’s often busy so expect to wait for a table but it’s worth it. Their sandwiches, chips and soup are the best in the area by far! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, yummy food! Looking forward to our next visit

I have given one star for atmosphere. The whole time, we were there today, Sunday. At the back of the cafe, someone had brought a dog . It barked and barked. Really loud, echoing around the long room. It never stopped well for half a minute now and then. Every one near me were commenting on how noisy and loud bark it was. I mean a really loud bark. We there for an hr and more or less barked off and on. Sorry, servers, but someone should have asked them to take the dog, perhaps to the outside table. If we had not ordered, we would have left. Gave me a headache. The manager could not have been more aware of the barking as it did this when the staff took orders to the back of the room where the dog was. Expensive headache, never again. Really inconsiderate dog owners. Staying at least an hr if not longer!!!

Really disappointed with the food quality, so much so that probably won't go again . Have been in the past and the food was amazing. Worth a visit

Called in last year and it was busy. Got a table and chose from the vast array of cakes. Cake and coffee were okay but overpriced. Plenty of choice in Macclesfield so I won't be rushing back.

I called in for coffee and toast. Really friendly staff and a very relaxing place. I didn't have time to order any of items from the shop itself but will check it out again

Very enjoyable breakfast, nice portions and good quality. Service was excellent, overall a very good addition to the town.

Ive been 4 or 5 times and every time I've had absolutely delicious 10/10 food. Great atmosphere. Will be going again.

Really enjoyed our visit. The food was lovely and the quality of the bread was delicious and so fresh. Excellent service and nice, healthy choices on the menu. Maybe not the cheapest option for lunch, but you get what you pay for! This was our second visit and will return.

Great food. I'd recommend the French Dip or the Bhaji Wrap, both excellent.

Food was fantastic, bit pricey tho for me.

Service was good enough, fairly friendly. Food was really poor and expensive. I had bacon on pancakes, 2 small bits of overdone bacon for around £11.50. My partner had the veggie breakfast, they forgot the poached eggs, when we asked for them they came out pretty quickly but clearly had been poached for about 10 minutes because the yolk was powder. Drinks were really expensive £3.50 for a small bottle of coke, where in other places it's usually about £2. They don't do juice/smoothies but they do strange "hair of the dog" brunch cocktails. I don't get how this place is still going. Massively overpriced and the food was really, really poor. Unfortunately I wont be going again.

What a nice cafe. I really enjoyed the food and definitely will come back .

Went for the Middle Eastern small plates they serve in the evening. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Really flavoursome food and great service. And don’t miss out on the baclava cheesecake!

This is a great cafe serving fresh food with some good vegan options. I turned up just at the point they had stopped serving lunch - but they still warmed jobs freshly made tomatoe foccacia. Had a delicious vegan flapjack and perfect decaf Oat Milk cappuccino. The cafe has a warm welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seats and various comfy seating snug areas. Staff were super friendly & helpful.

First visit to this place today - had breakfast with my daughter - excellent fare, great service, and great coffee. I will certainly go back!! Five stars all round, 👍🏽 Mike

Great cafe, nice food staff friendly

Amazing selection of cakes, which were very good! Worth a visit just for those Disappointed with the food. Koftas, aubergine and lamb were burnt rather than charred, to the extent the smell of burnt food overwhelmed the rest of the platter. The other half of the food was good. Definitely going to visit again for their cakes but will give a main meal a miss.

Been in recently, excellent atmosphere and food. Big shout to Ocean who was all over the place.

Had a top breakfast this morning at all things nice. The atmosphere was great with relaxing background music, the service was also excellent. I was offered a morning paper to accompany my food. Highly recommend this little gem!

Great place to visit the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is freshly made to order with fantastic flavours.

Coffee was excellent. Cakes were amazing! Staff very friendly. Great atmosphere. Open til late too.

Lovely veggie sharing board and 3 meat based small plates on the side. Only problem was we ordered way too much, but got to take some home instead!! Even got my very fussy 5 year to try and love babaganoush! Was our first time visiting in the evening and will definitely visit again. Everything tasted so fresh!

Gorgeous ceaser salad and a toastie and chippies with my son today💗 service was fab too💗

Absolutely THE best vanilla slice ever! The avocado toast was amazing too. Very friendly atmosphere and everyone was really kind and attentive.

Real find. Recommended by friends and passing that on to all. Great.

Very noisy head banging music clanging pots and cutlery uninterested waitresses with unruly hair.the first and last time

We visited the cafe for a birthday brunch and left utterly disappointed. We arrived about 10am and it was relatively busy. It was a nice day so we chose a table outside. From the not inexpensive menu we ordered two lattes, a bacon roll (which...

First visit to Macclesfield to see family the place was recommended to us didn’t disappoint so much lovely food to choose from tasted amazing the cakes are to die for polished off with a cocktail couldn’t as for more definitely be back soon

Dropped in for lunch. Great menu and quality food. Busy at early lunch but that is always a good sign

Was really looking forward to our meat and cheese board, how disappointing 2 variety of meats and 2 peices of cheese, couple slices of bread, a ounce of shredded plain beetroot and they charge £20 for that.. that's not the worst, please do not try...

The staff were attentive despite being busy, but the food was just disappointing. The quality of the bread did not warrant paying upwards of £7 for scrambled eggs on toast. It’s a shame as we did enjoy our visit but the food was a little...

Very overpriced for terrible dry cakes and mediocre coffee. We were very disappointed with everything about this place

Breakfast is excellent, good coffee and hot drink selection, evening menu is a great selection of tapas dishes and they’re a top notch bakery on top of it all. Hard to beat!

All things was nice indeed good quality food even down to the bread.

Been here almost every week since they opened to get bread and treats to take home. The sourdough breads are fantastic and slice really well, also makes great toast. The quiches are delicious. I made the mistake of not getting any myself the first time,...

Delicious food, excellent service.

All things nice is a gem💎Beautiful cakes🍰bread🥖cheeses&charcuterie and the best espresso. Staff is wonderfully attentive. Cherry on the cake... Wheelchair accessible 🎉❤️♿

Very busy cafe but managed to get a table. The menu was interesting and the food OK. Staff were friendly

We used to love Coffee Traders who used to be here, the cakes etc. were wonderful, we were sad it's closed. Sadly, I cannot report the same of this place as a replacement. Sausage rolls served as a cafe item - cold, small & overpriced,...

Great little cafe came in today with my Mrs had breakfast, was fantastic great food great staff we really enjoyed it 👍

Been here so many times and it never disappoints. I always go to different cafés in macc with my mum and this is honestly our favourite. Food is always fresh, pastries and cakes etc are wonderful and not too sweet which is what we like, the atmosphere is fun and energetic and service was fast, all staff were kind and friendly too. There is just nothing to fault here
