California Coffee and Wine in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow. A creative Fitout, pleasant background music, freshly roasted coffee, friendly staff, exceptional food. All makes a coffee snob and Melbourne foodie a happy chappy.

the owners manipulate and lie to the employees and don't pay them overtime. awful place to work for. owners are going on holidays while employees have to wait a year to be paid off owed money.

Loving the new evening menu at California Coffee. Try the Chipotle Prawns. Sensational! Sorry no picture as we ate them!!

A little too far to make this my daily cafe, however I will make it a regular.

Delicious breakfast we've had here! Ordered breakfast burrito and a Cali eggs benedict with chorizo. Both were really tasty, huge portions and well presented. James was brilliant looking after us. Highly recommended!

Very lovely, the staff were nice and the atmosphere was good. I recommend 10/10

My son and I went for breakfast on Sunday, it was terrific. The service from James was genuine and friendly. Our order was taken promptly and the food arrived beautifully cooked and plenty of it. It was delicious, really lovely. Thank you for an excellent experience all round.

Have you tried biodynamic coffee? Well here is you chance. California Coffee in Altrincham serve a lovely flat white alongside some really good brunch options. I was torn between 'The Beverley Hills' and the 'San Diego Salmon'. On recommendation of our server I went with The Beverley Hills. 2 poached eggs, feta, smashed avocado, sweetcorn & red onion Pico, crispy shallots + pickled onions all served on Sourdough. No fancy presentation, flavour combination worked very well. Alot of crunch & freshness. Personally for me I would have preferred the eggs softer as one was almost fully poached and this particular sour dough is very crisp. I wasn't expecting that. My husband got 'THE DON BREAKFAST BURRITO' A flour tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, coriander, chilli jam, crispy onions & cheddar. He also added halloumi for extra protein 💪. Served with a side of tortilla chips. He really enjoyed his burrito, it was very much sweet & savoury style which made it different. Very filling as well. With great ambience and friendly service it's definitely a Brunch place to visit. My next choice would be the San Diego Salmon or B's French Toast 🤩

Love love love… amazing breakfasts

I wrmt to California restaurant with my 9 year old daughter for a coffee and a hot chocolate. The cups were very small and overpriced. The main problem was the continual swearing my 2 members of staff in the kitchen , they were making the food. My daughter could hear the F words streamin from the kitchen, we were sat in the upstairs part of the restaurant which is closer to the kitchen. I will never visit again, we paid up and got out ASAP.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. One of the best places to eat.

Best coffee in Manchester! Authentic and made in house would recommend, food was also delicious.

Absolutely fabulous. I invited colleagues from out of the area, they absolutely LOVED the place, the coffee was very special (all coffee drinkers) and the breakfast top marks. They were so impressed, they'll be returning very soon. Great vibe , relaxing and so welcoming.

Went for the first time over the weekend and I shall be back! Staff were super friendly and the coffee was amazing!

Nice little place. Lovely food, though not a wide selection in the evening. What we had was delicious and well presented. Nice staff, helpful and accommodating.

1st time and will repeat!. Menu was not too overloaded but options looked quite nice. I ordered The Don Breakfast Burrito and it was absolutely yummy!. Put the chilli jam to the side as I wasn’t sure if it was going to be too spicy but not at all, the waitress kindly requested it for me. My friend had the Cali Eggs Benedict that you can see on the picture. For drinks I had the Passionfruit Iced Black Tea and again, incredible!. Will recommend 100%!

The best coffee house in Alty - great food, best staff , hardest quiz! 😂 have been coming since Diana and Justin opened and it’s consistently great

Great service, and options for brunch! My match a was cold, apart of this all good, with GF options and variety of things to choose from. Very busy, better book, tables are not so spacious, very narrow.

Awesome atmosphere and food would recommend

After a recommendation from a friend, i had a breakfast , by far the best I have ever had. Its a long drive for me but well worth it and will do it again.

Always so friendly, and great coffee / food!

Great coffee shop. Worth a visit .

Smashing place for lunch. Food well presented and excellent.

A wonderful place for breakfast in Altrincham. I called in with some friends on the way home from a weekend in Manchester. We all enjoyed our coffee and breakfast and found it hard to choose from a great selection of enticing dishes. Delicious food, a cosy atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Went here for birthday brunch and had a lovely time. I ordered pancakes and a latte. Very cozy cafe.

The Sunday lunch served here is literally the best in Altrincham. Excellent tasting produce and very well presented

We had a brilliant evening here. Wonderful casual atmosphere and really tasty food. Reasonable prices. Superb staff - particular thanks to Zara who was so welcoming, informative and friendly, especially about my Wheat Allergy-ness. A real asset to the business (Justin :-) ) No, I'm not related to her!

We’ve visited here loads of times before as we live in the area and this has always been our favourite. But the last few times we’ve been, the service has been poor. On our visit today, we waited 45 mins without food without anyone coming to check if we were okay/wanted anything else to drink. We lended up having to ask where our food was where it turned out there was an ‘internet issue’ that had caused our order not to be put through. We were assured the order would come to us urgently but it was another 20 mins before it arrived, and 5 mins before it did, we heard the waitress asking where it was as she’d put it through as urgent and was unsure why it hadn’t come. Such a shame, we’re put off coming again - food was lovely as always but just not great customer service. We left feeling a bit put out, especially when we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip as we were paying! I’m afraid we didn’t this time round.

Yummy brunch - could have eaten everything on the menu. Ran from Stretford to meet friends - we sat outside in the back area which was perfect to cool down. I ordered a buffet of drinks - pressed apple juice and tasty black coffee. I had a chocolate croissant followed by the cobb salad - perfect balance and the dressing really brought it all together. Other members of the group had the brekkie, burritos and pancakes. No one left hungry or disappointed. Owners and waiters really friendly and right level of attentiveness. Great way to spend part of your weekend.

Great service, lovely ambience.

Just popped in for lunch with my husband - lovely atmosphere, all the staff were super friendly and food was delicious 😋

Our third trip today after experiencing fabulous food the last two times and despite not even knowing that they served up a Subday lunch this was our choice today. We eaten in hundreds of different places over the years and tried numerous Sunday lunches but this today was absolutely exceptional...the veg, including cauliflower cheese (which is normally an extra in other places) was the tastiest I've eaten in a while. The large Yorkshire pudding, the gravy, just everything was an absolute delight. By far the best Sunday lunch we've had locally in a long time and we will definitely be back very soon. Service was fab, quick and easy to order and the staff all super friendly. I would recommend this Sunday lunch to anyone who likes tasty well presented food in a great atmosphere. Thanks guys you are an incredible asset to our beautiful town 😊

A regular - staff are so friendly and helpful. The menu has enough variety for all and they are always obliging to make requested changes . The only reason it’s not a 100% is the nature of the building which makes it all a touch dark but it doesn’t stop us going back

Great service and variety of wines.

This is an amazing place! The food is ALWAYS delicious & they have great vegan options🤍The staff is always so friendly & professional, plus the aesthetics of the restaurant is very nicely done. It’s my go-to for brunch☺️

Great staff, lovely vibe doggie friendly Best coffee and super food. Amazing team always great fun xx new site west Beverly also incredible

Went for a casual lunch and not impressed. Positives: Staff were friendly and helpful and coffee good. Negatives: We both ordered quesadillas. There was no cheese, very little chicken and it wasn’t really seasoned, instead relying on the jalapeños. So disappointing! Much better options at this price point nearby for food.

Came here for speciality coffee but we had burnt coffee instead of that. And we ordered 3 waffles and they brought 3 pancakes instead of that. They insist on giving that pancakes. Thank you.

Amazing food. Great service and general vibe inside. Would recommend.

This is an issue on service, rather than the food. Visited today (03/06/23), for my wife (I was not eating) to have a breakfast Burrito brunch, as we have eaten there before and previously enjoyed it. Sadly, the wrong meal was put on the table, which we immediately queried. Our waitress decided we must both be wrong on the order and "MUST" pay the full amount. The concept that the waitress may have made a mistake on a busy Saturday morning, was immediately discounted, as not possible (The 2 meals were in the similar position, but on different sides of the menu) . The 3 options given to us: (1) Buy a 2nd meal (for one person to eat !!) and pay for both meals (2) Pay for the unwanted meal (& they throw it away) !!! (3) We pay & take it home. There was no apology made, at any time. My advice is watch out for the terse manner & tone of waiting staff, in event of any queries/problems. This maybe an isolated incident with a particular member of staff, on a bad day, as we have not had issues before. Nevertheless, we paid for a meal we did not want, just to keep the peace. Heavily disappointed & hungry customer.

Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere and fantastic breakfasts. Get the sweet and smoky pancakes with two eggs and you can thank me later. The owner and staff are extremely friendly, and really contribute to a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

We first visited this place when newly opened and thoroughly enjoyed. Why oh why did we wait so long to return? We won't be waiting that long again. Food AMAZING. Struggled to make a choice as every option had my taste buds tingling. Service is second to none and coffee five star. We will definitely be back - next time for a few glasses of wine.

It's just perfect, the staff, the wine, the music. Looking forward to returning. Great chill out in Altrincham, can't recommend enough.

Fantastic coffee very tasty food and friendly service

Best coffee in Alty. Home roasted too. Stan the dog, and I love the breakfasts. Staff are so friendly and the amount of regulars is testament to the quality of this joint!

Food very good Big 5+. Delicious coffee. Very nice service. The food is very good. I'll be back there for sure

Lovely early meal at California Coffee, tacos and Hollywood sharing platter were amazing. Staff lovely and atmosphere is laid back and you feel totally relaxed. Can’t wait to go back on Thursday for taco Thursday.

Brief visit on Sunday morning. Had a latte and Chorizo breakfast wrap to takeaway. Coffee tasted great and the wrap was fantastic. Super friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more.

Really warm and friendly welcome. Great atmosphere. Coffee and Almond Croissant.... very tasty. Dog friendly is a definite plus. Look forward to visiting again soon.

We love it here. Without a doubt our favourite place to go for breakfast. We always receive a genuinely warm welcome from all staff, service and food are fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Justin is the man! Friendly, kind and truly caring about delivering a great coffee and customer experience 💪

What a fantastic little find if you are ever in the area then try and visit, we went for lunch and from the minute we arrived the service was welcoming and warm, great choice of menu and perfect that the breakfast/brunch items are served all day, we have lived and travelled a lot across America and especially California and felt the menu reflected lots of dishes we had tried on our travels, our son was happy they offered a grilled cheese and tomato soup option one of his American favourites, coffee was lovely so why would you go to a high street coffee shop when you can have a better coffee, service and food at an independent place, we will definately be back

Amazing coffee, delicious breakfast and friendly hosts

Amazing! from start to finish and we can't wait to come back 😋❤️

A warm welcome, flavoursome food, and brilliant coffee.

Came here with a friend’s recommendation for a quick lunch. I had burrito and my friend had meat sandwich got chicken, beacon and avocado inside. We both think it’s tasty and very good price as well. This is a lovely local cafe&wine place also pet friendly place! Will definitely come back.

Great staff, very friendly, quickly remembering their regulars. Food is great and coffee is superb. Made this our weekly (and often daily) coffee place

Another yummy meal with friends with a great relaxed atmosphere as always

The food was good quality and the owners(?) were extremely friendly, greeting multiple people by name. There are clearly plenty of regulars. Cosy place, worth visiting. Will revisit when I am in the neighbourhood!

Actually, even better than before. Poached eggs and Manchester smokehouse salmon was mega! Fantastic service, great coffee, excellent food

The whole family love California. The food and drinks are consistently awesome and Justin and Diana are just amazing and make everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. A trip to California will brighten up anyone's day and if you haven't already been... You must!

Lovely fresh food, superb attentive service. Very friendly, travelled from North Wales and was not disappointed. Will be visiting again with the doggy too :)

Just been in for a works Christmas party. The food was delicious and the service was amazing from the moment we walked through the door. I will 100% be returning ASAP.

great American Diner lovely interior fabulous breakfast and lovely welcoming staff what more do you need before road trip home

Love the coffee in here. Nice for brunch and lunch. Good menu, portions and service. Like the atmosphere and the booths.

Great food, big portions. Very friendly and attentive staff.

All about smiles and great service. Try the steak sandwich-me-thingy

My God! The grill cheese from here was phenomenally good. I think they use two cheeses which reduces the graininess of the cheddar. But whatever they do produces a simply sensational crispy luscious gooey toasted sandwich. Max Halley would just give up and throw in the towel if he had one!

Had lunch here today with my friend and will definitely be returning! Food was delicious, lovely atmosphere and staff were really friendly and pleasant. Deserves its 5 stars ⭐️

Always great service and good food. Especially for a quick breakfast! Thanks

Delicious food and great coffee, served with a smile. That's all you want really!

Really tasty food, fast service and nice atmosphere will definitely go back again

There is simply no better place to go in the area for outstanding food, coffee with superb and friendly service. Justin and his team create a warm and friendly atmosphere from the moment you arrive on each and every visit. This is hospitality as it should be but can rarely if ever be found these days. My week wouldn’t be complete without at least one visit to ‘Cali’.

By far the best Coffee Shop in Altrincham. Amazing coffee, edgy food and fabulous staff take our town to a new level. Much love to all x

Amazing quality, exceptional people. My favourite place.

The undisputed best breakfast/brunch in Alty. The Cali Cowboy is a winner everytime, it will fix any hangover! The breakfast burrito is also amazing. Great service and great owners. 💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯

Fabulous place!! Super friendly team, tasty food, and excellent cocktails

Came here for the first time today and oh my days the food is unique and off the charts! The staff are all top notch and provided a pleasant service. Oh and the lemon cheesecake was banging. I will definitely be back 👌

Absolutely the best coffee shop in Altrincham!! Great coffee, atmosphere and incredible staff 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Cali coffee.. amazing staff, great service 247 , such a lovely place definitely would recommend ❤️

Super disappointed!!! Staffs are ..um….ok but the foods are not tasty at all！I used to like this cafe and recommended to friends. My day has been ruined by this dish which I tried last time and was taste good. Steak quesadilla, beef are so dry and too chunky in the thin crepes, hard to chew, no taste, not juicy at all. The other dish, beef are too dry, super salty came with Sauerkraut and mustard which make the taste too complicated and more salty. It’s hard for us to finished it. We used to order coffee to wrap up the beautiful lunch. However, we just like to leave the cafe and no more fantasy to come again.

Amazing coffee, lovely food, great service and wonderful atmosphere Everything you looking for

the best best coffee best atmosphere best baristas forget the pretentious hale establishmentd if you want real coffee and a warm welcome get yourself to CC

Regular coffee addict, delicious coffee, amazing brownies and fantastic service!

Always great service, coffee and food. What more do you need

One of the best coffees I’ve had - I ordered a cappuccino with hazelnut syrup. A little pricey but worth it as a treat, once in a while. Really friendly service.

First visit, fabulous food and staff

Wow!! Amazing coffee and breakfast today. Staff are friendly. My wife had the choice of 2 shots in her iced latte, it was too strong and replaced immediately at no extra charge. Impeccable service. Thanks 🙏

Gorgeous atmosphere and yummy coffee!

Had an amazing brunch here today. Food was excellent with great choices slightly different to the "same old"menus you get elsewhere. The service was off this planet though, so friendly, helpful and efficient. Love the fact it's dog friendly too. Will be back soon.

Our always go to place for weekend brunch when we want to play safe.

Always at the top of my list for the best customer service, gorgeous wines, relaxed local but funky atmosphere and surroundings - a gem at the centre of our community.

The food here is amazing and the staff are super friendly! Love the range of veggie food options and the spinach burrito is actually perfect 😍

Came for brunch with my brother, despite appearing very busy service was friendly, timely and most importantly the food was delicious and well presented.

I’ve been here a few times now and usually the customer service is usually spot on, especially the owner who is amazing. However today was a totally different experience. I was there for lunch and the waiter was very rude, only seems to be the one bad egg out of the amazing group of bar staff but it was enough to ruin my girlfriends first experience. Such a shame

The very first thing we noticed about this cafe was the warm welcome and great service - right from the moment I opened the door and stepped in. There are some smaller outdoor tables at the front, street-side, and generous sized booths indoors to the...

Amazing coffee and good comfort food

Hi, The two stars are for the staff and for their great service, the missing three are for the food. Since you like being sarcastic, let's start with the wonderful scrambled eggs we got served, what's the brands of your eggs? Michelin? Bridgestone? Continental? Because I have never had such a rubbery ones in my life. You are located in Altricham and not Mexico, why serving chillis bake beans for breakfast? How freshly made were the waffles and pancakes that we were served? Did you get them from the same company that makes the Twinkies? And finally, the orance juice was a glass of water that may have only seen oranges in a postcard or magazine. Please stick to coffee and wine if tha tis what you like, and stop stalking people of Facebook and Linkedin because you did not like a review, that's creepy!!!!!

The food and drinks were amazing. The staff are so nice and friendly too. Great place for brunch, and dog friendly!

Lovely place for breakfast and the service is always amazing, super friendly. Brekky burritos and ice tea are a real winner.
