I've been coming here for about 15 months now and I can safely say I've never had a negative experience. Staff are so accommodating and friendly, and the bar's charm is something so needed on Wilmslow Road. With the coffee, bottled beers, wines and panini being some of the best prices I've seen; this place is perfect if you're an artsy student or if you find a fiver nearby.

Nice independent place. Great for a coffee or a drink and to chill out. Shame it isn’t a bigger place as gets full quickly!

Positive: at first glance, looks like a classic French cafe from the previous century, cheap coffee, wonderful atmosphere Negative: The lady behind the counter conspicuously showed she was scared of me, even taking a step back, looking at her colleague, and saying, 'I don't know what you're on about', not, 'could you repeat what you said' or 'couldnt hear you' I'm soft-spoken, shy, and mildly autistic. I saw she had to go down the steps to bring me my drink. I went back offering that I would be happy to wait to take the drink myself to the table. I do NOT wish to start asking myself why she would even feel the way she did and showed it to me. It never leads to a good place. I just wanted to have my hot chocolate in silence with my head down. Not all of us are perfectly happy every day but we don't go out there showing fear, making the other person horrible either Overall, a recommend. However, I can find other cafes where I'm not greeted with fear.

Absolutely love this place - the staff are so friendly and the events that get put on are great. Regularly visited for a while for the past few seasons of "Cinema Transgressions" screenings, which quite frankly changed my life. Nice atmosphere, good prices. Here's hoping I'll be back again soon!

Cafe Blah is a gem of a place; a stone's throw from Withington Library on Wilmslow Road. The warmth, friendliness and ethos of the cafe has been set by it's lovely, creative owners Tess and Adam. Great coffee, food, beers, wines etc plus great original art on the walls and for sale!!! There are also regular events, pop ups and film screenings. This place has a little bit of everything! Check out blissfully bohemian Blah and you won't be disappointed.

Cafe Blah is local to me and it’s a really cool space that does coffees, drinks and snacks, but also puts on some amazing events. I went last month to a group reading of a Dylan Thomas play, and have been to their record fairs and art shows too. All the staff are lovely too, as are the regulars. A proper unique gem in Withington!

Was cycling around the area when we decided to treat ourselves with hot drinks. We ordered a Latte (£2.75) and a Hot Chocolate (£2.75). Friendly staff. Very busy and we managed to find some seats outside. Lovely hot drinks and the price is reasonable.

One of the nicest bars in Manchester, if not the nicest. It is always a pleasure to see that places like this were not completely destroyed by the instability of the recent years. The narrow pathway from the bar to the main room is one of the coziest and sweetest places I’ve seen. Overall, every inch of café blah seems to be incredibly sincere - in comparison to the more conventional bars closer to the centre of Manchester, which all seem to be built to be easily renewable due to the heavy traffic of people, this place seems to hold on to things that were added to it, be it intentionally or not.

Gorgeous space with the best staff. One of the few truly independent places like it in Manchester, who put the time and care into putting on events geared towards community rather than just trying to flog as much booze as possible. The kind of place where you get not one but TWO little biscuits with your coffee!

Think it might want to consider changing its name to Cafe Blag or Cafe Blasé as it’s seemingly never open even on its own (opening hours) terms. It’s only been open once out of half a dozen attempts to visit. Shame as it’s a good concept and ideal for the area and fantastic location in which it sits, as well as serving good coffee; I just wish they would invest more time in getting the place buzzing and a real hub of the community.

Adam and Tess are the perfect hosts, drinks are tasty and very reasonably priced and the atmosphere, decor ans music is spot on. Couldn’t recommend Cafe Blah more highly!

Café Blah is one of those unique spots that you'll just want to keep coming back to. The owners are really friendly people and worked hard to create a unique vibe that is nothing like anywhere else in Manchester. You'll struggle to find a place with the same effortlessly cool aesthetic as Café Blah. Even if you're from a bit further afield than Withington it's worth taking a trip to check this place out because they don't just sell food and drink, but they also sell art (some of which now adorns our home!) put on events, film screenings, pop-up shops - you name it, they (probably) do it and if they don't there's a chance they will in future. They're well worth a follow on Insta to keep up to date with events they're hosting. Café Blah is also surrounded by many other really cool businesses, like A Curious Collection, which is literally just above them selling all sorts of unique vintage items, clothes and art. All the more reason to visit and find out what Withington has to offer!

One of the most unique Cafés in South Manchester, Adam & Tess built it from the ground up with their love of art, vintage & music. Interior and vibes do well for day time chills and casual evening drinks, all at incredibly affordable prices. Oh and their fully vegetarian menu deserves a solid mention. Lovely people, great chat, awesome place!
