I stood waiting this morning for well over 6 minutes and no-one came to serve me I was waiting for to buy some pies but the staff was to busy in the cafe side talking to each other and complealy left the side pie shop unattended this was disgusting I tried to call someone by say excuse me but was ignored as the staff was to busy talking between them self's and there was very few in the cafe side this is bad for business you should always have at least one member of staff on the side counter and should never be left un a tended the staff should know this .staff updates and upgrades needs to be looked at fast I will never go there again get better service at the cafe in the inside market and fast service and better manners

This is a great little local gem! A quirky little local cafe with the charm and food you would expect from that, if your looking for a cheap breakfast and a little local twist then this is the place for that

Went for a brunch, ordered a salad that supposed to be 5 quid according to advertisement, and it was 10, they run out of salad dressing so it was tasteless. But chicken was good and fresh and staff lovely. Still wouldn't recommend.

Today I bought a cheese and onion slice and it was vile, I'm sure it was from Sunday it didn't taste fresh at all and the filling was like rubber it fell out of the pasry in a lump! Also when I cut it in half there was a big space at the top. Disgusting and not worth £2.10 went in the bin but should have taken it back really but wouldn't want another one from them anyway. They're lucky they have one star.

Worst breakfast I have ever had in a cafe. Food took 45 mins. Expensive for the ingredient quality. Why do you serve a full English without beans, mushrooms or hash browns. Why's a can of coke £2.50. Its just pure greed. There's obviously no reinvestment because it's so grim inside. Amazed at how this place is still going. Its angin.

Freezing cold due to open windowed takeaway through door opening without a door. Ordered soup which didn’t arrive as order not passed to kitchen. When this arrived it was supposed to be accompanied with French bread and butter. Instead it came with a cheap bread roll that fell into pieces. No butter arrived and when this came it was a miniscule knob which was too hard and cold to spread. Burnt baguette, burnt beef. All in all totally unsatisfactory

Me and a few friends popped in on Saturday for a late brunch, drinks wise I ordered a flat white and the jacket potato with beans and cheese I ordered was delicious and felt like I was right at home. We were greeted by a polite young man upon entry, the same young man who made my coffee. Will definitely be returning as the service was excellent 👍🏼

Came here for tea and cake. You get a lot for your money, we ordered a piece of tray bake each and we struggled to finish it. The tea, we got two pots to go between three people. We would have quite happily have had one for the three of us as they were huge! The prices aren't too bad either and the staff were friendly. Ps. I had the caramel traybake but could have easily tried them all because they all looked amazing! They also do an offer 5 cakes for 4 if you buy and take away.

Been here before and it was ok. But this time it was awful. Expensive for the quality of food. Ordered a panini and was given a baguette. There was hardly any filling inside of it. Had the homemade chilli, which was bland with no flavour. Only thing that was good was the milkshakes. Won't go again.

I absolutely love the Cornish pasty at this place, I live in Manchester, but whenever it is possible, my husband and I go to Macclesfield just to have a few.:) We have tried to find a place in Manchester that could beat this one, but no such lucky so far. In my opinion all sweets and pasties that I have tried are excellent. We haven't seat in to eat there though, we prefer to take it home. Enjoy!

Made the mistake of going there, I had an english breakfast and the bacon was undercooked and the majority of the bacon was just fat. They never gave me the cutlery and it took them 30 minutes just to receive the cutlery after me asking numerous times. The sausage was raw in the middle meaning it obviously wasn’t cooked properly and was undercooked. The staff were very rude especially one of the younger ones who wore glasses on the day I dined in. The staff were also swearing in the kitchen and I didn’t find it very professional of them to do so. Lastly, the tables and chairs were very filthy as well as the floor. 100% wouldn’t recommend.

I was looking for a quick bite and hot drink. I hadn't visited the cafe before. I was given a seat and was told to address the counter when I was ready to order. There appeared to be a lot of disruption and lack of organisation. The service was nothing to write home about. I received a stewed pot of tea after 10 minutes this was after they gave me a latte, which I didn't order. Whilst waiting for my food to arrive, it was very apparent It wasn't going to come soon. I noticed that at least 3 of the staff had colds, and each time I looked up,they were wiping their noses on there sleeve then entering the kitchen to Ollerton the food. Needless to say I didn't enjoy my lunch. They were asked to wash their hands, I repeat asked!!!!!

We popped in for some lunch and a drink at 13.50 today after reviewing your opening hours online and seeing that you were still open until 16.00. Upon arriving we was told that the coffee shop was due close as it was closing time and we was not able to order any food but could potentially order a drink. We found this a little strange as there was customers in the cafe and people wanting drinks and lunch. Staff members were wiping down, covering up food items at the front of the bakery so customers could not order and two members were leaving with their coats on. We were confused as your opening times stated until 16.00. We was then advised we could have a coffee but no food. Unfortunately the coffees we ordered were not properly made, half a cup and very weak yet charged for a full cup? I feel this is due to a training issue around staff not knowing how to use the coffee machine properly. Also, the staff that were left appeared really unhappy that we had arrived for a drink as I feel they wanted an early finish..Correct me if im wrong and if the shop actually closes at 2PM I think the opening times on the door and online needs to be changed or customers will become confused. The area and tables were also really really dirty alongside the cups and cutlery. The cafe looked shabby and generally dirty with unpleasant staff. Really dissapointed as Coffee Beans used to be a nice cafe it appears sadly its gone downhill and been a bit neglected... we will sadly not be returning.

The food & service were atrocious. Coffee like dishwater, toasted tea cakes that weren’t toasted & butter which was margarine. My brother & his wife had “beef stew” which was served with a stale hot dog bun & no cutlery. They said it was the worst meal they have ever had, lukewarm, bits of shredded looking meat, raw potatoes, no seasoning. The attitude of the staff was unprofessional & unfriendly & toilet was grotty.

We were initially greeted politely but the service went downhill from there. We saw the staff chatting with each other, both in the cafe and in the kitchen, but nobody thought to check on us or explain the 30 minute wait for a simple food order at a quiet time of day. The young man who I asked to check on our order was polite enough but there was no apology. Other customers had issues but nobody seemed bothered. My mum enjoyed her pie, peas and gravy but my tomato soup tasted like a tin of tomatoes that had been blended. For the first time in years, we left no tip. The cafe looks lovely and has a good location but I fear for its future if the staff don’t care.

My daughter and I made the mistake of popping in here for a bite to eat the other day. The place was filthy. You could see behind the take away area which was really dirty with food all over the floor. The kitchen was even worse (you can see in as you manoeuvre round the black bin bags to get to the equally dirty toilet). Daughter ordered a bacon roll- bacon clearly microwaved on a tiny sub roll with an inch of margarine. I ordered cheese on toast which again was microwaved and soggy. The best bit was my tomato 'soup' which they obviously forgot about...when it finally did arrive it was literally a bowl of tinned tomatoes! Never again!

Nice people but SO SLOW. I visited with my partner a few weeks ago - we placed an order, waited twenty minutes and then realised they'd forgotten us entirely. They were very apologetic and keen to make it right, but we didn't want to start again with the order and wait longer. Went back today and again, no urgency to take the order though the place was not busy. They're friendly folk, but just not very attentive and often prioritise their takeaway window.

Popped in today as daughter was on lunch break so needed something quickly, big mistake. Only 2 other tables were occupied out of about 12 but the one we were led over to was filthy so we sat at the next one, luckily I had some wet wipes in my bag as this one was pretty grubby also. Ordered a tuna sandwich and chicken baguette which came out pretty quickly, bread was nice and fresh but both fillings were 25% tuna/chicken and 75% mayonnaise, considering they cost £18 for the 2 sandwiches and 1 coffee it was a bit of a rip off. As we we getting ready to leave a single customer came in and sat herself at a four seater table against the wall rather than a smaller table in the middle of a now totally empty cafe, she was then told she couldn't sit there and she should sit at a single table, unsurprisingly she told them she would take her custom elsewhere! Avoid this place like the plague though I would be very surprised if its still open by the end of the year

What a joke of a place. Not the cleanest. Nearly £30 for 2 toasties, a sandwich, two teas and a coffee. Understand the cost of living crisis and prices going up. However, Tea arrived within 10 mins. Food 30 min later. By then the tea was cold. I seen two people demand their money back as they had no time left! Also another poor woman when she asked for a refund was told.. ‘it’s nearly ready, can you take the food with you?’ She replied, ‘I have to go back to work and don’t have time to eat it!’ The cheese on the toastie was spread on like minimal margarine! The staff although apologetic, in my option were less than interested. For the record I never really do reviews. I had to do this one!!! Good location. Places could be turned around. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day! Won’t be going back… I felt I was in Royston Vassey! League of gentlemen… so weird…

Arrived at 9:30 on a Friday and cafe was just opening - Ordered full English breakfast for myself and my wife plus a tea and a coffee. Sat down and waited 20 minutes for food. Asked where my tea and coffee where to which I was advised I didn’t order it even though I asked my wife what she was having in full earshot of the waitress. Food turned up grease on a plate is the best description. Sausages and bacon that were clearly reheated from a previous day, Eggs rock hard and a slither of tomato. Absolutely awful. Toast had no butter. Sent the food back and left. Will not be returning - worst experience I have ever had.

Despite what some other reviews say, I have no issues at all with the service I received. The food however was not good. I had a traditional breakfast and couldn’t finish it because it was so oily. The eggs (fried) were overdone and crispy, the yolk was partially soft but clearly needed to be cooked at a lower temperature. The sausages were cheap and the bacon dry. There was a quarter of a rather small cooked tomato, which was quite frankly the best part of the meal but surely it could have been stretched to at least half a tomato. They could do with some soft furnishings in there too because you could hear everything and I found it hard to focus on the book I was trying to read.

The service for five of us was quick and the food was to a good standard. Whilst we were there I met all members of staff on shift and they all had the same cheery countenance.

Went in for a coffee as a support worker supporting a service user, made an order to initially take away (from the bit that’s opposite TKMAX) however due to the cold weather sat inside. One of the staff members called ‘James’ abruptly came over to the table and said there’s a charge for sitting inside (I was not made aware of this prior). This made my service user highly anxious especially his tone of voice. He said “I’ll let you of this time” which appeared passive aggressive. The rest of the staff/service I couldn’t fault however staff attitude especially towards vulnerable adults needs addressing ASAP,

This is a fantastic experience to make you better appreciate good service when you get it. My take away description of this place is ‘absolutely Shambolic’. I Hadn’t been to macc in years, and remembered this cafe being really nice and well placed in the town centre. It now appears to be run into the ground and the staff knowingly couldn’t care less. -I wish I had read recent reviews now! 😅 They got our order wrong twice with no apology. When my daughter’s food turned up we found a strip of sellotape amongst her beans. We let the staff know out of courtesy and this didn’t get any acknowledgment from a senior member of staff (did it not phase them at all?), or an apology. I’ll continue to support local brands but not this one! 😂

Reasonable quality but basic produce; nowhere near the best. Service in the 'tired, chilly café was poor; I thought the staff were young, overstretched and seemed disorganised, but allowance should be made for post-Covid 'rust'. My toastie never came, even after half an hour; then it was time to go. The staff were concerned but it still meant I didn't eat lunch. Definitely ready for a refit!. Hard to recommend, but they don't have much competition at the prices you pay.

Couldn't believe the prices in this basic cafe in Macclesfield. My friend and I paid £8.20 for one egg on one toast and a small pot of tea. When we complained that couldn't be right, the lady cooking the food then brought us out another slice of toast and another fried egg. Still not worth £5.75! Honestly Couldn't believe it. We asked for the eggs to be cooked medium, so still have a yoke but we're cooked hard. I asked for brown bread, my friend for white, they brought out brown for me and white for her.

The sausage baguette my daughter had was one of those pre-baked rolls you buy at a supermarket but I think they may have forgotten to put it in the oven ! it was not cheap either £6.75 for the baguette and £7.50 for the breakfast.

The food here was so good, although really let down by the service. When we arrived we were perfectly happy with the social distancing measures in place. We sat down and looked at the menu, then ordered two lattes a sprite and a breakfast and a hot baguette. The lady brought over the drinks with no tea spoons (had to go to the counter to get them) and no glass or cup for the sprite (back to the counter again) we then had to call her over to ask for some sugar packets and left the tray on our tiny table for two. When the food came she took the tray away, we were offered no sauces so had to go back to the counter and was told to wait (while my food was getting cold at the table) nobody checked back to see if our food was OK. I think this place is brilliant the food and coffee was excellent but it is greatly let down by the service! There were multiple servers so didn't seem like they were short staffed. More training needed for the front of house staff.

Bought a cherry scone with cream and jam to take away and when home couldn’t believe that I’d been given a scone broken into pieces and about a third missing . Would never go back here.

Just bought a jam donut from the bakery section along with a brownie to bring back to the office. Took one bite out of the donut and it is hard and stale. £1.10 it cost for the donut and it is out of date. Will never eat here again and will certainly be reporting to environmental health as if this is out of date and stale then clearly they have no checks in place for their other food products which include meat.

I came here once a few years ago and didn't like my cob, but as I have recently moved to the area I've decided to give it another go, especially as it's local to me and often seemed fairly busy, which had to be a good sign. Popular with the elderly, it also has a lot of vegan options advertised for the young and hip. Had a pastry with mash and gravy the first time, vegetarian breakfast the second. On both occasions the food was brought to me quickly and was hot. It tasted really good and with reasonable prices I will likely be coming back. The place has your usual cafe look and feel, the staff always seems happy and friendly to each other and engaging with the customers, which is nice to see. Lovely service. They have a kids' menu too, so I will be trying it out soon with my little ones, also massive bonus for me is the big pot of sugar at each table, as somebody who uses a lot in their tea, it saves me the embarrassment of asking for lots of sachets with every cupand getting weird looks, that alone has bought me over. I would recommend this cafe.

Came across here by accident. Met my vegetarian bro in Macclesfield one Tuesday afternoon. Looked at a couple of other cafes, but they were taking last orders at 2 or 3.30. WTF was that about? Found this place, good service & meal, not too busy...

Popped in....not too busy so I ordered straight away. Bit worried as I noticed my table was not clean and needed a good wet down and crumbs swept up. I persevered......I ordered a Panini and have to say, was very nice. The decoration round the edge (little salad and crisps) was ok too. I had a can of drink, poured into a glass and realised then that the glass could have done with a clean as it was a bit grubby. I then had a piece of carrot cake....moist and tasty.This place is a little run down and you have to look at it as somewhere to go to if you don’t want the glitz of cozy coffee shop or high street chain. It’s a bit like a builders cafe, that needs some attention. I liked the food, nothing to moan about there....it was tasty and filled me up a treat. The place itself is somewhere I don’t mind going, as I’m no snob and will eat most places.....I think the people who don’t like this place are probably looking for a more high end establishment and when they come in here.....don’t get high end and feel a bit disappointed. Average.

I called in here for a bite to eat as I was in Macclesfield for the day, not knowing where I was going to eat I had not reviewed anywhere prior. The service was very friendly and quick, I had the goats cheese and caramelised onion panini, coffee and walnut cake with a coffee, all tasty and good portions, price wise is what you would expect and no dearer than other places ive had similar fare, I would certainly call in here again when im next in Macclesfield,

Came here on a day trip to the Treacle Market. Me and my mom had the soup and sandwich deal . The celery soup was beautiful and lovely chicken sandwiches on fresh bread . The staff were really busy but super quick service . The staff were pleasant and polite . The loo is a bit of a hike but that’s not the end of the world .would definitely come back
