Cloudberry Cafe in Stockport

I went to this place for my dinner at work, she asked me do I want food or drink, I said a bit of both, she only turned round and said we don’t do any of that here you should go to the cafe down the road, this woman needs to learn some manners and good customer service skills, what a disgusting way to treat a customer to tell them we don’t make what you want without even knowing what I want.

Mummy & I went for milkshake & mummy says the best coffee ever, but I wouldn’t know about that. All I know is that the milkshakes are AMAZING xxx

A very popular cafe with interesting and yummy food (I haven't tried the cake - my waistline wouldn't be able to cope!). I understand about the somewhat unsatisfactory staff behaviour. The first time I went there (shortly after they opened) one of the proprietors was very "sharp" (to the point of rudeness) with me. I let it go as I thought they might be having a bad day. The second time it happened I quietly pointed out that my parents and grandparents had been in business in Marple for nearly 60 years and if they'd spoken to clients, as I had been spoken to, they wouldn't have lasted 60 days. Since then no-one has been rude to me! Glad to see they are open again. I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms and need a local Derbyshire ice-cream "fix".

Lovely cafe but a member of staff was very rude to us. I much prefer independent cafes but it’s not a good experience if staff are rude to customers, why re open if you don’t want customers? Maybe some staff training would be helpful. Hope to have a better welcome if we visit again.

I visited for lunch prior to a meeting. I overheard a member of staff being very rude to two customers who had queried the bill. It's a long story, but we were told the cafe was not for meetings. We had reserved a table by email, but then told she wouldn't have got the email as the other person was on holiday. We were told we were blocking the cafe for other people, but the cafe was nearly empty. One person, out of 6, did not want a drink and we were told every customer was expected to buy something. I don't easily write bad reviews, but I was dumbfounded. I won't be going again.

I have been coming to Cloudberry since soon after it opened and, in general, I'm a big fan. T However, I've witnessed some concerning situations several times now - involving the owner speaking badly to staff. I don't know anyone working there but just wondered if writing this might help make it clear that customers are noticing? This week I witnessed an unpleasant discussion between the owner and the kitchen staff. The owner spoke loudly with no attempt at ensuring customers didn't hear. It seemed, I'm sorry to say, bullyish and left the kitchen staff visibly upset. This felt really unprofessional (on the owner's part) and disruptive. Nobody wants to hear something like that in a cafe and it's never nice to see anyone upset. I wanted to comfort the woman who was most upset but didn't know what to do. Obviously I don't know the inner staff dynamics, but I've witnessed it so many times now that it feels like something is definitely going on. I've seen the owner snapping at staff on several occasions before and the atmosphere feeling very tense. I've also found the customer service to be quite grumpy sometimes. No pleasantries exchanged, all quite tense again. I'm aware that running a cafe can get very busy and stressful at times, but it feels important to raise it. I just hope everyone in the situation can be OK and the business can show a bit more kindness. I would hate for people to stop going there, the food is so nice!

Nice café spoiled by the chippy and unwelcoming member of staff who, when I asked if they had decaffeinated coffees, treated me as though I had asked her if she had washed that morning. My friend who was with me asked if she could make sure his was definitely decaffeinated because of a medical condition and she snapped back: "You don't have to tell me how to do my job". On reflection we should have just left right then. As it is we will have to settle for never going back there. The coffee was all right, but I can do without being belittled by the staff for making simple requests.

Just been to Cloudberry cafe for lunch. Lovely fresh food in a very comfortable cafe with friendly staff. Will be visiting again

Popped in while cycling with a friend. A very nice pot of tea and a slab of parkin. All very nice and served by friendly staff.

People watching and good views.When good weather alfresco dining.Really nice inside.Can read novels while waiting,just don't forget to return! Lovely coffee and enjoyed panini nice presentation.

Popped in for a coffee and some toast early morning. Sat down and had to wait around five minutes before asking for someone to bring a menu ( I was the only person in the cafe ). I ordered a flat white and two slices of fruit toast and it was nearly £5! The coffee was burnt and the toast was stale and covered in so much butter that it just didn’t taste good. The menu is limited and very expensive. It’s £1 for a rasher of bacon. Crumpets are £2 and 50p extra with jam. The prices are crazy and definitely a deterrent for going back. It’s a shame as it’s the only cafe in this stretch of road and by all appearances it should be a nice cafe but not worth the money. Won’t be going in again.

We came here on recommendation but were very disappointed. I ordered a ham sandwich and received a sandwich with the processed smoked ham you buy in supermarket , tasteless.

Visited on Wednesday with my daughter for a hot chocolate & a sweet treat. It was our first visit & my daughter has asked for it to be our little cafe of choice for some Mummy & Daughter time in future. Personally I think she enjoys all of the toys on offer more than the company but there we go. Great for occupying the children whilst you have a hot drink.

It's not at all obvious whether this is table service or where you order. When we arrived we had to go to the far end of the cafe next to the food prep area, as the cafe was quite busy. There are no food menus on the tables and as we were next to the ladies prepping food we sat and waited. After quite some time we asked one of the ladies could we have a menu. She said they were near the till at the other end of the cafe. She fetched one as she was going up there. On the top of the menu it said to order at the till. We chose our food and drinks and I went to the till. The lady on the till was very pleasant and acknowledged me saying she'd only be a minute. She very pleasantly took our order and I paid. She quite quickly brought our drinks. Our food came some time later brought by one of the lady chefs who somehow made us feel that we were not welcome. She seemed quite churlish. The food was very nice. When the table was cleared I said we'd enjoyed the food but again we felt we were being a nuisance. We won't be going there again

Just sent this to the owner. I want you to know what a lovely lunch I had in Cloudberry Cafe yesterday. It was delicious, and just what I needed. I hope you know how much good your cafe does to people, even when they don’t tell you or show what is going on in their mind. Love to you and your staff. X

We had wandered around Marple doing a bit of shopping. Bit confusing as to whether it was waitress or counter ordering. Took a menu off a customer who was paying and realised the system.

We had breakfast here one morning. We had bacon sandwiches and the pototo cake breakfast. All very nice! The only criticism is the restaurant can become very smokey with the open plan kitchen and the toilet you need to remove your nappies which is not very sanitary while trying to enjoy your breakfast.

We called on Saturday for lunch after doing some shopping in Marple. After we had placed our order the next people to arrive were told that they could no longer order food due to the cafe being very busy with orders earlier, and not having had any deliveries due to the weather. we waited some time before our order came and were then informed that there would be no charge due to the length of time we had waited. The food was excellent and the staff were very apologetic. I can understand why some people would be annoyed when they had booked a table, but to put negative comments on here when the staff explained the situation does seem a bit over the top. I will definitely be visiting Cloudberry again, it’s a lovely cafe.

We booked a table for 6 for 1pm and due to traffic and the weather we didn't arrive until 1:13. Upon arrival we were told that the cafe had no food and that it was our fault because we had arrived late. There was no apology and the woman was very rude, making out it was our fault. Wouldn't have minded being told the cafe had no food but the woman was incredibly rude and discourteous to us all. Safe to say we won't be going back there again. The Bull's Head is much better - good customer service and it serves...food!

We booked a lunch for 6 people. We were 10 minutes late arriving, due to heavy traffic because of the snow. We were told they had no food and we were too Kate. There was no apology and the staff were rude. Avoid!

Strange place, really, as it isn't immediately obvious whether it's waitress service or you order at the counter. It's a poor system, because you seem to have to queue behind people who are paying and ordering. I only wanted a coffee, but it seemed to take ages, as the person behind the counter was having a chat to other customers.

We come about once every 2/ 3 months after we been to a specialist in Romily for lunch. We discovered the cloudberry as we where looking for gluten free food for my son. The owner and the staff are brilliant and have been brilliant with my son who has additional needs. There is an area for children with toys and books of which has entertained my son.

Cloudberry does amazing bacon butties, toast and fruit toast and coffees and soup. I've not once been disappointed by the food in this place. Superb. A great asset to Marple.

I have had one ☝️ party 🎈 at cloudberry cafe ☕️ and it was the best party 🎉 ever . I can’t complain about this place. I recommend the scrambled egg 🥚 🍳 . The people are lovely 😊 too.

I recently visited Cloudberry cafe in Marple. What a lovely cafe, Good food, good size portions and very pleasant staff. What was really enchanting was the arts and crafts on display for sale. A totally fabulous experience.

Before visiting the hairdressing salon for a lengthy appointment on Saturday 4 November, my wife called into the Cloudberry café next door, hoping to get an egg/mayo sandwich (medically restricted diet) and have it delivered next door (the salon door is immediately adjacent to the café door and is nearer than some of the outside tables). She got these responses from the staff: (1) they would only poach, fry or scramble eggs; (2) they had no mayo (tuna/mayo was on the menu and they serve salads); (3) they did not have white flat bread (only to toast!); (4) they could not deliver next door as they were too busy. Two members of staff were involved in this tooth-pulling conversation, one of whom may have been the owner or manageress. Presumably, they had not seen my wife arrive on a mobility scooter and park it outside. Cloudberry need to be more sensitive in dealing with their customers as they do not know what is happening in their lives. Because of my wife’s condition, this exhausting episode set her back for the rest of the day. I am pleased to say that she was very well looked after at the hairdressing salon where the wonderful staff brought her what she needed from a nearby patisserie. I am amazed that in this small friendly town with its great community spirit, a business can be so short-sighted when its trade relies so much on its local reputation.

Highly recommend a visit especially between your shopping in Marple.just finished a lovely sandwich and a pot of tea for two finished off with a banana and toffee ice cream cornet.

Conocí a mi pareja puente aquí café. Reservamos una mesa y pasamos un tiempo muy agradable. Descafeinado con leche caliente. Buen precio. Personal muy amable y servicial. Un lugar concurrido para madres y bebés, parece.

Absolutamente delicioso almuerzo en la de improviso.

Entorno agradable ambiente cómodo, tenía un buen almuerzo y café buena selección de aperitivos y tés definitivamente un buen lugar para visitar cuando en "Miss Marple". También venden una gran variedad de dones peculiares.

Gran lugar para un almuerzo o snack bar, comidas sabrosas y pan tostado de fruta un gran éxito con los niños.

Es un poco impredecible en la música, a veces Cloudbury penetra y a veces no! A veces el servicio es amable y a veces un poco grosero; una experiencia muy incoherente cafe. Café mal!

Cómo una delicia encontrar una cafetería que sirve muy bien para el niño - juguetes, asientos adecuados, vajilla y cubertería, así que no estamos preocuparse de su hijo dejando algo o ellos mismos lastimando.

Did I say Lovely? This family run cafe is child-friendly and has a really great menu of snacks and full meals. Their coffee is also fantastic. There are usually two choices for soup of the day and the accompanying bread is delicious.Nothing seems to ever be too much trouble for staff and service is professional and sincere. My wife refers to this as her favourite Marple cafe and there are quite a few here.

This small family run alternative cafe serves delicious dishes! We enjoy looking at the art and hand made crafted gifts displayed around the cafe, wonderful, friendly staff, impeccable service.

Went for lunch with my mother and grandmother, the latter is really rather fussy and hard to please. Safe to say she was very pleased by the food and the service was outstanding and willing to cater to different options. Lovely cafe with very helpful and friendly staff

I'd passed the Cloudberry Cafe before and thought 'oh, that looks a nice cafe. I must pop in and give it a try'. So I did, next time my hubs and I were in Marple.This is an absolute gem of a cafe! The coffee is great, the food is fab - they even had gluten free bread so I could have a REAL lunch! I had their Halloumi with sautéed mushrooms on toast which came with a lovely side salad ( yummers!!) and my hubs had the scone with jam and cream. We ere both very pleased with our meal, the service, the atmosphere and the handmade craft items and artwork for sale. We'll definitely be back.Footnote: this cafe also does children's craft parties.

Visited with the family. Nice selection of toys to keep my son entertained. Food is good and made fresh to order.

Xcellent, tasty & quality breakfasts served with lots of smiles & decent freshly brewed coffee. Gluten fee bread & soy milk available but not a gluten free kitchen. Ok for us but coeliac so be aware. Some GF snacks available. Lovely crafty things to buy made by locals too. Have a browse.

I visited for breakfast with my partner, it was lovely! The staff were really helpful and very pleasant and the cafe itself is cosy and welcoming.

Have been here a good few times and it is probably my favourite cafe in the area to meet friends. It's a lovely place with very friendly owners and staff. There are lots of lovely hand made and unusual gifts to buy also. Food is lovely and a reasonable price and they also cater for special diets such as gluten free. I highly recommend it.

Yum! Menu has lots of choice lovely comfortable surroundings friendly staff. Will definitely return !

This is a really lovely cafe, excellent home made cakes, great coffee and lovely staff. Local artists sell their stuff in there so it is also a buzzing hive of the community. You can bring your knitting or attend a craft workshop while enjoying your cake. I highly recommend it for anyone living in or visiting Marple.

I love this place, a very welcome addition to Marple's cafe culture. Great service (with a smile), lots of choice for drinks and delicious hot food all at reasonable prices. The greetings cards, local paintings and little gifts for sale add to the experience. I'd give it 4.5/5 and to improve even further to a perfect 5, it would be great to have a larger selection of cakes and to move some of the tables away from the cooking smells.

Me and my 4yr old daughter stopped here for a brunch consisting of a bacon and egg butty with coffee for me, and some maple syrup pancakes And a juice for the little one. The service and food were lovely and we will definitely be visiting again.

Cloudberry Cafe has a lovely atmosphere and great decor. They have a range of food on their menu, as well as some very tasty cakes. I am a regular customer of the cafe and thoroughly enjoy every visit!

In a cafe world dominated by global brands where the experience is dull, unimaginative and expensive it's a delight to find somewhere like the Cloudberry. Good coffee and cake, an imaginative menu (beautifully and freshly cooked) are accompanied by a relaxed atmosphere and friendly and efficient staff. I pop in whenever I'm in Marple - you always get a lovely welcome!

We had our son's 7th birthday at Cloudberry Cafe just before Christmas. I was unreasonably busy in those days and had left it far too late to organise anything myself. Karen was my saviour. She fed and entertained my son and his friends. She had them decorate a plate for Santa to take home with them. The party itself was lovely and calm, just what I needed and the kids enjoyed themselves very much. Karen took care of everything, all we had to do was sit, eat, and sip our drinks in peace. It was simply perfect.

To say I'm a regular, my husband would say, is an understatement. l love this place; food and drink are delicious and very reasonable, staff friendly and very accommodating. After a stressful day, I find it an oasis of calm and quiet. The layout means you're never sitting in top of one another and you never feel the coffee machine is drowning out your conversation which, sadly, cannot be said of other coffee shops in Marple. I have introduced a number of my friends to the Cloudberry over the past year and now they too are regulars. You won't be disappointed.

We love to pop down to Cloudberrys for great tea (love the Teapigs!) and coffee and delicious lunches not to mention Scrummy cakes and icecream! I usually enjoy a good mooch too at all the lovely craft items. On our many visits we've never had any less than first class service - we highly recommend it!

Love it here, amazing food, brilliant service & a friendly atmosphere! My favourite place to catch up with my sisters in Marple!

Been here a few times, food delicious, and they are very flexible if you want to change stuff around. Love the whole ambiance of the place and the gift shop items are lovely

In a world dominated by the lure of dull chain coffee shops, Cloudberry stands out because they care...about fantastic freshly prepared food and fantastic friendly service. There's always something new to enjoy in food or crafts. Lazy Sunday brunch... Catch up coffee with friends... Birthday cakes with your gorgeous girls... A Beautiful sun-trap in the front cosy couches. Pop in- you're bound to return! Easy on the pocket too :)

Visited Cloudberry a few times lately. Soup was tasty, delicious panini and the best ever carrot cake. Staff friendly and efficient. Atmosphere relaxing. Only suggestion would be greater variety of cakes and cookies would be welcome.

Whenever I'm in Marple, I pop into Cloudberrys for a coffee, omelette and cake. The food is always spot on. Service fantastic, welcoming and fast. Wish there were more independent places like this and the owners passion for the place is infectious and shines through. Keep up the good work.

Great place for a coffee or lunch. Full of families and friends so the atmosphere is loud and fun. Had an amazing, decently priced soup and Sandwich and it was delicious! Thank you for the visit I'll be sure to return x

After venturing out in the snow we had a very welcome and delicious hot chocolate in the cafe. My little boy is 5 and loved his mini hot chocolate with marshmallows. A lovely family experience and lovely staff too!

I live in Marple and it is nice to visit a nice coffee shop with a lovely atmosphere with great service. I had a pram so the steps are difficult but the lady who was working gave me a hand. Also good value can get tea for 2 for £3

Ate here recently for the umpteenth time. I've visited this cafe lots of times to eat and drink, it's one of the nicest in Marple. Lovely owner, friendly staff, nice range of food and drink and not too expensive either. As I say, I've been in loads of times and never heard loud disco music, they just have the radio playing in the background (usually Radio 2, I think) - very unintrusive.

Good food, good atmosphere, great coffee. Service was fabulous, particularly enjoyed the music. I will be visiting again.

Love this cafe. The staff are all lovely, and the food is excellent. Always offering to get a drink for our guide dog too. By far the best cafe in Marple.

I have visited the Cloudberry on a few occasions and never had a problem! The food is great and the staff are lovely and friendly what more can you ask for! Great little place :)

I visit Cloudberry regularly. Partly because my children have somewhere to play and we are always made to feel welcome, but also the food is lovely, particularly the bread nor is it over priced and a good selection of lovely cakes, the carrot cake is a must. For somewhere that is still newish to Marple I find they already have loyal customers whom appreciate the café is used regularly by children and everyone is helpful and accommodating from staff to customers. It's rare you get a loud child in there, parents are pretty good at keeping taps on them and there is always someone offering to help with the door and buggy. So this not just about food its the overall experience.

My daughters & I love coming here & do so on a regular basis. There's plenty to keep my daughters (5 and 4) occupied & the staff are so welcoming & friendly. Very relaxing, delicious homemade food & amazing cakes!

I can't believe the negativity of some of these reviews! I've been visiting Cloudberry since it opened and I have only ever experienced good food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Never have I heard disco music. I also attend the knit and natter evenings, which the lovely Karen organises - she also caters for other craft groups and events. We visited on Valentine's day for a gorgeous breakfast as did many other people - they wouldn't keep returning if they didn't like it! Try it for yourself, it's lovely.

Called in for lunch on a hectic day to save me time, was really nice and would definitely go again. Staff were friendly and helpful and also a really good display of handmade crafts to browse too :0)

Disappointing visit as very loud disco music made conversation difficult. We drank the coffee quickly and went to an alternative coffee shop.

Visited for lunch with my elderly Mum and had a very relaxing time. The atmosphere is lovely ; beautiful decor , lots of lovely arts and crafts on sale which make the place so interesting and cheerful. The staff were friendly and efficient , and the food was freshly-made and tasty . Both my baked potato and my mum's croque monsieur came with an unexpected and delicious salad . Not necessarily the speediest service ever , but totally worth it for fresh food.They make a great cup of coffee too , and everything is very reasonably-priced . Successful visit , Mum very happy and will be returning soon .

We went for lunch on Sunday, whilst the food was of a reasonable standard and the decor is lovely, I was appalled at the attitude of the young man serving towards a fellow diner. They had been waiting a long while for their food and their baby woke up. The lady asked please could she order a slice of toast to keep the baby occupied so her and her partner Could enjoy their food when it arrived. The server refused point blank saying the kitchen was now closed. She stayed they hadn't yet received their food and he rudely pointed out they'd been busy and it would be on its way and still refused any food for the baby!!!!

Honestly it really was the best coffee cake I've ever tasted! Coffee was good too and we had a lovely half hour here. The cafe also had loads of stuff for sale, most of which my wife wanted to buy - a great place to come back for gifts for birthdays! A really lovely place with a warm welcome and fab cakes.

This spotlessly clean café serves the most amazing tea. It is always so welcoming. Food is delicious and there is nothing that is too much trouble. And bonus - it also sells a variety of lovely handmade crafts from local people.

Cosy, comfortable cafe and gift shop with very friendly staff. I've not been to any of the craft events held there but plan to in the new year.Fabulous lunches and cakes!

Such a lovely little place in Marple serving yummy drinks and food by very friendly staff! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

i visited here with my sister and her son, the interior of the cafe is lovely and it also sells crafty bits and bobs. the food is ok. the menu isnt as quite as big and varied are i would like but this is only a small cafe. its great for kids with a childrens menu and play area.

Popped in as we were passing through the area, got halloumi and mushrooms on granary toast (delicious!) and after I awkwardly asked for a soy matcha latte the lady was so helpful and managed to locate matcha powder and make an amazing matcha latte! What an absolutely lovely cafe, can't recommend more!

Enjoyed breakfast here recently. Food was lovely and the service was prompt and friendly. The cafe has lots of crafts displayed which are available to buy. A bit different from your usual cafe offers a little bit more!

I'm so glad this lovely cafe is open on Sundays. I enjoy sitting on the squashy sofas in the window, drinking my tea, eating my fruit toast and watching the world go by while my other half is on the golf course. However I had to bring him with me today and he enjoyed his coffee and cake very much. I opted for something different today and went for the potato cakes, eggs and mushrooms. Really tasty. And we received such a nice welcome too. Will be back here soon!

Atmosphere was lovely- open + friendly yet managing to still remain private. Gorgeous food - I had a stilton pork pie & special. Staff were brilliant - really down to earth and even though they were busy I never felt rushed. The cakes are homemade and are out of this world! I've just moved near this place and will be visiting again...and again....and again.

My fav place for lunch .delicious soups and orgasmic scones with lashings of cream and jam.heavenly potato cakes with scrummy poached eggs .the staff are beautiful lush and friendly :) Bert. xxxxx

After reading such good reviews I had high expectations but unfortunately I don't think we could have picked a worse day to visit.The location is good and the decor is lovely very welcoming and child friendly. As a chef was off sick we knew we would have a bit of a wait but after over half an hour we still had received some food but not all.When we asked if the food would be long the staff all began arguing with each other. You could hear the kitchen shouting they had never had the order. We said it didn't matter as we didn't want to wait a further half an hour. We were then given the money back for the food that hadn't arrived. But then the daughter started arguing with her dad about this in front of us and it was very uncomfortable. Considering it was very basic meals they were making they seemed to really struggle and the arguing was very unprofessional especially as we had our child with us as did lots of other families.

This unique cafe is one of Marple's most precious gems. With a friendly service and an inspired menu, it is perfect for spending an afternoon with a close friend or relative. They also have a wide selection of creative merchandise designed by local artists and are enthusiastic to support community engagement.

I went with a couple of friends to the Cloudberry Cafe in early June. It is good to have a cafe at that end of Marple and the arts and crafts are interesting to browse. The environment is very nice.We ordered hot drinks and two of us ordered fruit toast and I think the other ordered toast. There were two people serving and two people preparing food. The cafe wasn't particularly busy. The two lattes and pot of tea came quickly. But the toast didn't arrive - eventually I went to ask where it was because our drinks were nearly finished. There didn't appear to be any reason for the delay as the cafe was quiet, there was plenty of staff and it doesn't take long to toast bread. We were told it wouldn't be long - I explained we had nearly finished our drinks. After a further wait when our drinks were finished the toast arrived. To be honest I felt it would have been a good/appropriate gesture to offer us a free hot drink so we could have a drink with our toast but this didn't happen. The drinks and toast were fine but would have been better together.So to summarise the environment is lovely, the food is fine (we didn't try any of the home cooked food so I cannot comment further) but the service needs to be improved. As the cafe is new hopefully they should in time improve service and be able to coordinate service better

I come here with my girlfriend all the time. The food is excellent and they have soy milk and chai tea which make the Mrs is happy. I would recommend this cafe

This is my favourite Marple cafe, and my 4 year ok loves it too! Great family friendly atmosphere, tasty home-cooked food, and good value for money. Love the coffee, and it's a great place to find unique gifts and crafts too.

Lovely food, excellent customer service, the artwork is fantastic and beautiful atmosphere. Love love love!

I have been coming since it opened and it has been great every visit.The food is very yummy and reasonably priced.The staff are lovely,chatty but respectful and the crafts are an ever changing selection of interesting items made by local people

Cloudberry is one of my fav places to go in Marple. It is a true community cafe. Food is comforting and homemade (my favourite is the in house humous) the staff remember you and are friendly and they support local artists! Stocking locally made cards and gifts. They are also very breast feeding friendly, a real rarity in this day and age, sadly. Baby changing facility too. An all round blooming good destination for all :)

I go to cloudberry every week n more than once.I love the atmosphere in there.the staff are lovely and it's such a cosy n quaint cafe.great choice of foods.lovely soups.n you can buy crafty gifts while your there.x

The shop has many arts and crafts for sale and a selection of seating from leather sofa s to tables and chairs, nicely decorated and very light and airy. The food is very nice but there is a portion control problem... whilst I was there a man queried this with the cook but she didn't address the problem at all, so I think this issue is here to stay. It has meant we now go to another coffee shop in Marple.

I've been in a few times for coffee and breakfasts. A lovely place with friendly staff and a unique arts & crafts theme. It's great for kids too. As lovely as it is, I'm astonished that it is rated as #1 eatery in Stockport as the menu extends only to snacks and the coffee is average. I can think of several places that are by far superior (such as All Things Nice and Libby's). Hats off to the owners though, they certainly have put everything into making this a successful business.

I'm only sorry it took me so long to sample this place, after its recommendation. Lovely warm and welcoming staff and atmosphere - delicious hand made cakes and other goodies on display.Beautiful hand crafted pieces of art work and pictures adorn the shelves and walls. Can't say too many good things, I loved it!!Will definitely be returning again soon,

The food is delicious, home cooked offerings at a reasonable price about £4.95 ish. Selection of hot and cold drinks...nice coffees. There's home baked desserts too. I was really impressed when a schoolboy needed to ring his Mum to pick him up and popped into the shop and asked the Manager if she would let him use her land line ... there was absolutely no problem...its nice to know children are being looked after like this in the community. All are welcome, the knitting club, crafters, mums will prams and trolleys and the elderly. It a truly warm and hospitable.

Found this by chance when in Marple and what a delight. It is just what the area needs an independent coffee shop that is very friendly and cosy and offers great coffee and food for everyone. Great atmosphere and a pleasure.

We had heard good things about the Cloudberry, and we were not at all disappointed! The café is beautifully laid out and not cramped as sometimes can happen! We had a light lunch from the excellent varied café menu. The coffee was also very good. The decoration includes some very distinctive artwork and there are also some interesting small items for sale as well. Will definitely return!

Marple, on the boarders of the Peak District and on the banks of the Macclesfield and Ashton canals on the Cheshire Ring, cannot be said to be short of places for a good light lunch or a cup of coffee. But to this crowded and highly competitive market the Cloudberry Cafe brings a distinctively different take on what makes a good cafe. Its emphasis on creative opportunities: knitting, drawing, and lots of other things, doesn't get in the way of the essentials but it makes the it a good place for children as anyone who is around when the local primary schools come out will testify. The staff are friendly, the seats are comfortable and the atmosphere restful. Visitors who walk the few yards from the centre of Marple will be rewarded for their efforts at Cloudberry.

Popped in for a hot drink and chill out whilst son and dad were swimming in baths across the road. Enjoyed a sweet ginger teapigs pot of tea and after seeing the specials board, left message for them to join me for lunch after swim. so glad i did, the food is really good and decent price too, especially the kids options. My son had cheese on toast for £1.50! i had sauteed mushrooms and halloumi on granary toast and it was so delicious. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Shame i live other side of Stockport!!

The cafe opened not long after I moved to Marple last year and I have visited a number of times with friends who have come to visit. It is a delightful experience with excellent home made food and the opportunity to see lots of work by local artists displayed around the cafe. They also have creative events on and offer craft parties for children if you are looking for something different. It is situated on the main Stockport road so you would need to park in one of the local car parks available further into the village and just walk back a relatively short distance. (Opposite the Post Office) The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic which makes for a real welcoming atmosphere.

just been in for cooked breakfast gorgeous food, excellent service, friendly welcoming atmosphere . lovely craft gifts to look at, bought a lovely smelling candle

My husband found cloudberry on trip advisor and we were sold on the baby friendly element as we have a one year old. We weren't banking on the food being as delicious as it is. The best home made coleslaw I've ever had. Great value too! Many handmade items are for sale, in fact I bought the mirror from the loos. We've been back since and will continue to visit. Can really recommend!

We're not allowed to pass by any more our 4 year old loves it and so do we. Delicious hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows! Not just a warm welcome, cards, gifts and craft! Definitely our favourite
