Ancoats General Store in Manchester

It’s convenient location and the post office is handy. Staff weren’t the best at the post office but that’s ok. Prices in the shop are high and there’s not everything you would expect at a local store.

I ordered travel money to go on holiday and arranged to pick it up from the post office - when I arrived at the counter the assistant sighed at me when I asked to pick the money up - I brought them my ID including my name change certificate, card I used to pay for the money, my passport and the receipt for the purchase and they refused to give it to me. The rude counter assistant even started raising her voice and pulled her mask down to shout at me. So they have left me with a refund in 5 days and no money to go on holiday tomorrow - GREAT This isn’t the first time they have been rude - I went to put some money into my account a few weeks ago and another counter assistant tutted at me because she had to count it. RUDE STAFF - POOR SERVICE

The older Indian women in the post office is the most rude and obnoxious person ever! No hello just a tut and then she huffed and puffed! I for one will not visit here again! That’s the 2nd time she has been like this! If you don’t like your job/people go and do something else!!!

Not a very good service Security made you wait outside for the postoffice in the pissing rain when no one waiting for the post office the store prices are a bit expensive aswell won't be using the postoffice or shop again

Haga sus compras, tome una cerveza y baile con la música que se está reproduciendo. Buenos tiempos. Gran selección de productos en oferta, incluida la leche en una botella de vidrio no de plástico.

Use the store regularly and love the atmosphere and product range. However the coffee/drinks arm of the business always lacks good customer service. As you charge £2.50 for a cup of tea there should be something more than just a feeling of inconvenience when being served. Furthermore, we’ve popped in for a drink one evening to be told by the server that he’d been in for 12 hours and wanted to shut, so didn’t want to make us our drinks. So as you can imagine we went round the corner to other bars on offers. The store overall is a great idea but needs customer service training throughout and some passionate retail professionals to be taken on.

This is the only convenience store in Ancoats, a fascinating place with a diverse range of offerings, selling branded groceries at massive premiums versus supermarkets, indeed up to 50% more. You wouldn’t do your weekly shop here but it is great for a number of things – unusual foods and drinks, local produce including sourdough and eggs and a Post Office which is open all hours. Would be interesting to see how their prices changed if another ‘local’ shop opened instead of yet another bar or restaurant. Most of the people who work here are super friendly (though service sometimes a tad slow), they have great coffee, cool music and a free space invaders machine too!

Lovely local store with heaps of groceries and coffee and cake to eat in. Good s lection of coffee however was not overly hot. Have tables you can sit at. They have a games machine where you can play pacman and space invaders free! Nice spot to stop for coffee.

Dynamite coffee and cake... Ooozes cool.. Great ambience, friendly staff, and handy if youve forgotten a few bits and bobs

This shop is great for emergency grocery shopping. and for having a cup of coffee. It has fresh croissants, bread rolls, and other pastries available all day. The shop has a wide range of other food stuffs available. Local residents are fortunate in having such a well stocked shop on their doorstep.

A NOT so regular corner shop with a few VERY good additions, great coffee shop, local produce amongst the usual staples plus some more unusual items, open fairly late (not sure of the actual times). Service can sometimes be a little slow but remember you are not in a chain establishment, love it.

General store, post office, barber, coffee shop, bar and DJ! Oh and plus ice cream parlour and portrait artist!!! What more could you want under one roof??? I love this place!!! Please can we have one!!!! I’m moving to Ancoats just to be able to stop by each night!!

Trendy looking place. Lots of beer choice, mostly British but I saw some Belgian and American beers too. Friendly service. Reasonably priced beers.

You are a corner shop, drop the attitude as it's being reflected by your wannabe trendy hipster clientele who don't live or contribute anything to the area.

Popped in here for the first time on my way to work last week and ordered a mocha. It was served in a tiny cup, was powdery and very bitter. I had two sips before deciding to throw it away. A complete waste of money! I was very disappointed as Ancoats Coffee has always been nice elsewhere. I went back in again today to give it a 2nd chance and this time ordered a flat white. I gave my feedback on the Mocha to the server, who just laughed and continued his conversation with his friend. I commented that I thought he'd do something other than laugh at my feedback to which he replied: "My coffee is consistent and if it's not to your taste it's not my problem". I commented: "That's why I thought I'd give it a second chance and order something different" He replied: "I don't need 2nd chances mate" and also stated he did not give a S*** about my feedback. I will not patronize this coffee venue again

Had been to rudys for pizza WOW and fancied a coffee after. Didn't disappoint at all but please get some good gluten free and vegan cake on! It would make me return everyday if so :)

My wife and I were visiting Manchester and both felt a bit under the weather and in need of some healthy turmeric so we used a popular search engine to find out where served turmeric milk drinks in the area. We found Ancoats General Store...

We come here for coffees and drinks whenever we’re in Manchester. Great service, good wine and beer!

Good coffee and cakes in a cool atmosphere with furniture made of OSB. Cool music, you can have also an alcoholic drink.

Ancoats GS is my local store, it's totally hipster, so much more than a local convenience store and is the best thing ever. Amazing selection of foods, free from & ales. Plus there's sweet beer on tap, tasty local coffee roasts and weekly street food...

Whilst in Manchester our host recommended this store and in particular advised us to get a Growler (beer container) and fill it with one of the guest beers to take away. We found the store and took our Growler, the staff were friendly and helpful,...

This is a good shop with a lovely little bar in side the lads are all real friendly and they offer a good selection of drinks.

Often pop in here on my way home from work, the staff of great and there's a really good selection for a convenience store! Little coffee shop in there too! Only reason i've give it a 4 is because I bought some cream last week...

Here at the edge of Ancoats is a large deli, which also serves food and a decent coffee. It seems to be a magnet for a predominantly youthful crowd , looking for food choices, in particular for Vegans. The large deli selection is complemented by...

We called in by chance when we were on our way to the Squid Ink Restaurant just down the road. The guy behind the bar was really friendly and explained what was on offer on the drinks front. He explained all about the Cloudwater brewery...

Thank you for being so patient and tolerant of us on a Saturday when we turned up for some emergency supplies just at 10PM shop closing time!

Ancoats, recently named hippest place to hang out in the UK, by Travel Supermarket is where Ancoats General Store is, a coffee bar and convenience store, focusing on vegan, gluten free and dairy free products, with craft beers, wines and spirits for sale. I loved...

Called in for the first time on a Saturday what a great surprise friendly staff and a great selection of real ales. You can choose any bottle out of the fridges and drink it at shop prices amazing. We were extra lucky as there was...

WOW! This is quite simply the best local shop - EVER! The range of craft ales (on a constant rotation), spirits, mixers, snacks and cooking ingredients are superb. They even keep everyone happy with the £5 bottles of wine and £5 6-lager cans deals. LOVE...

The last time I came across a lovely store like this, I was in New York. It's got a great neighbourhood/community feel. Pick up some groceries - chat to the staff- get a coffee! What's not to like

AGS is a great concept with great products in the store amazing coffee and equally amazing staff. Much recommended
