Coffee Break in Manchester

Have to say this was the best coffee place I’ve experienced in Manchester on my trip. Beautiful latte, nice toastie and muffins and served with a smile. Also very very reasonably priced too. An absolute gem of a place to relax and enjoy fantastic coffee.

Great coffee and some great baked goods, a real gem!

Never thought they will have such a good coffee n fresh orange juice. We had iced late and freshly squeezed orange juice and it was amazing. Far better than big names in the market and yep friendly servers as well.

One of the best coffee shops in manchester. Fresh coffee and has the best muffins in the whole of greater manchester.

Asian guy behind the counter speaks to his customers in absolutely disgusting manner, cafe is filthy, wouldn’t eat here if you paid me.

The best coffee and muffin EVER omggggg

Love this Place!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visit every time Im in Town, The Staff are Lovely-Especially the Manager-He is so helpful and Friendly! Gorgeous great food and Drinks, and Really Reasonably priced!!!

Prefect for nice little break, they have great food (especially the muffin) and the staff is amazing. Special mention to Raj 😊

Nice discover actually!!! Good muffins and kind staff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great range of food and drinks, great staff!

Staff extremely unfriendly not a smile didn't even look at you when taking money or giving change. Drinks were dumped on the side and staff walked off. If you're looking for a bit of a smile and a hello avoid

Friendly cafe with great meal deals☺️

Great meal deals with panini, coffee and muffin. Provided with charming service and a genuine smile.

Can’t even give one star. Had the stalest muffin I ever had and coffee was gross. My child had some churros he bought and we werent allowed to sit down because of it. I had to get it to go. And it wasnt even worth it.

Always call in here for a cuppa & sandwich or a cake.

Great customer service, good food

Absolutely delicious muffins and a lovely gentleman who makes them.

Sandwiches cakes and coffee at reasonable prices

Good coffee shop very busy at lunchtime

The cafe is a great asset to the arndale, I enjoyed a warm sausage roll and three cheese baguette. Quick service and a friendly owner which makes you feel welcome. It feels like nothing is too much so thank you.

Love going to this cafe, I have a coffee break here while partner goes to record shops, staff are always lovely and never rush me out

Proper milkshake made with milk you can drink through a straw. Perfect.

Lovely spot for a Panini and a coffee. Iliana is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, a true star! I would give 10 stars now I know they make Freddo Cappuccino and Freddo Espresso here. Keep up the good work!

Excellent service and excellent food and drinks hot or cold.

A brilliant little corner of quiet in the otherwise chaotic arndale. Not to mention that the blueberry muffins are to die for. - Some of the best staff in Manchester too!

Always go here for a coffee and cake friendly staff great food at reasonable prices you can also great meal deals

I come every week. Very friendly staff and disabled friendly. Ask will they carry your order its done

If you want a good hot drink that is excellent value for money head to Coffe Break in the Lower Mall Arndale Centre opposite Home Sense. Good coffee, very friendly service. I recommend it highly.

Stopped off here for drinks while out shopping. I had a cold drink but my friend enjoyed her coffee. Staff were cleaning tables and seats as soon as they were vacated.

Amazing staff, lovely area to have a rest and the best muffin I've ever had. Would recommend the strawberry and white chocolate one 👌

This place is a hidden gem. We were wanting a coffee and all of the big chains were very full so we tried here. Only had two coffees but the muffins looked very nice. I have to say the prices were very cheap and honestly the best cappuccino I have ever had. The staff were very nice. I will 100% be coming back here rather than the big chains when visiting Manchester again.

Best coffee in Manchester. My grandson and I always call in when we're passing 🍰☕👍

Love this little coffee shop situated in the arndale by TK Max. Friendly staff, good selection of snacks to choose from. I always stop off here when I visit town, reasonably priced.

Really lovely little coffee shop. Great coffee and friendly polite service. Owner seemed to genuinely care about his customers. Very rare these days

We were looking for something other than the mainstream chains of coffee houses and cafes. Stumbled across the Coffee Break and glad we dad. We only had coffee & cake but it was a friendly service with great value for money.

Never been here before but visiting Manchester and stopped here. Coffee and freshly baked food fantastic, prices are amazing with lots of combined coffee and food deals, staff lovely especially Raj the owner who is both exceptionally friendly and honest ( I left my credit card on the table and it was kept safely and returned).Even without the credit card issue would definitely come back and recommend. So nice to have good food friendly staff and somewhere different to the normal chains. Lots of locals come here. Great place.

Such a friendly atmosphere here. My go to drink is the iced caramel latte these guys make the best I've ever tasted. Chocolate chip muffins are amazing. Highly recommend

When I went here there were two young women working who were rather surly. I was not offered a receipt and the toastie was not as good as ones I have had elsewhere.

Get your coffee and cake here..mmm... nice

Tasty food, delightful customer service

me and my husband go in here every week the staff and the owner are lovely people and his food is gorgeous.

Great service, and the tables are spaced out accordingly the social distancing. Loved how they provide a plastic bag containing a napkin, sugar & a stirrer to avoid customers having to touch too many things.

Love going to the coffee break in Manchester with my son, boyfriend and brother. The staff are friendly and know what we want cos we order same thing when we go. Love the chocolate chip muffins and the BBQ chicken Panini x

Excellent food and service in a welcoming environment.Clean and comfortable, plenty of tables and chairs.Friendly staff and wide range of food at very fair prices.Ticks all the boxes!

it's brilliant and very nice coffee and other good food.

Love the coffee from here.. Bought a veggie wrap last week it was delicious

The manager was really nice and gave me a free hot chocolate 👌 thanks By the way nice chicken pizza and the freshness of the salad in their budgets makes it perfect. Last but not least their muffins are fresh and the flavours is different and very delicious. Must try. I ll definitely would recommend

Amazing service, fresh food, staff is always happy, nice selection of food.

Really nice coffee and really good service! Definitely worth a visit for a break from the hustle of shopping in the Arndale.

Great hygeine, freshly made food. Lovely grilled cheese sandwiches which aren't oily, good range of coffees, excellent range of pizzas, pasties, toasties, sandwiches. very friendly staff, much healthier than Starbucks yet cheaper and lighter than Costa. Great little place, takeaway or eat in, useful location in the arndale ground floor. Also less dark than Starbucks and less cramped and crowded than costa Recommended if you want a quick lunch or snack or coffee while shopping.

Najlepsza mrożona kawa w mieście... Dają do niej nie tylko lód ale również lody śmietankowe

Always enjoy the excellent coffee and often add a warm sausage roll.

OK for a quick coffee and a sandwich while shopping 🛍 clean with friendly staff

Lovely place for coffee and staff are friendly

Was served by a lovely lady, very helpful in helping me choose what I wanted, quick service and food/drink are to a very decent quality for the price, would recommend

Clean tables and friendly staff. Great place to wait , while the wife shops.

love this place so friendly staff helpful and food lovely x

Very nice coffee (Latte) but there it stopped.Had a baguette (£3.80 for coffee and baguette) - the baguette was heavy going and not the freshest - my wife had a cheese toastie that was exactly that - small and no dressing.Whilst there, somebody in a mobility chair chose a table that was most convenient for them, but where somebody had dumped takeaway cartons. No attempt made to clear the table by the staff for their customers benefit.Will not visit again.

Very welcome staff and good prices

after shopping it is good to take a coffee n get some rest

Best cheese and ham toastie in the arndale, and seriously big up the man behind the counter, in a busy city sometimes all it takes is a good conversation and a smile 🤙

Great service and prices. Iced coffee was better than Starbucks, Costa etc. Some of the chairs are looking a little old and could do with being replaced.

Recommend the Iced Coffee with coffee beans.

Avoid at all cost - poor hygiene. Costa is just around the corner and Greggs is just upstairs

Speedy service, reasonably priced, toffee muffins to die for!

Lovely little cafe rlly cheap me and my fam loved it there!

Excellent staff and the coffee has got a good taste! The place is quiet to have a break as the place's name says!

Good coffee and toastie, good service, and efficient

Good and polite staff prices cheaper than Starbucks

Always a great place to enjoy a break

Nice place to have a well deserved coffee break. Nothing special though

Popped in for a other quick drink etc, very pleasant staff - plus fast service. 👍

Great coffee and great muffins!!! Located in the mall where one can relax from a hard day of shopping and take a 'coffee break!'

The Cafe is lovely and clean, staff very friendly and prices are very reasonable....lovely coffee and muffins

Cupcakes are really nice! Really taste like fresh baked. Good quality for the price.

Decent enough food at reasonable prices, though I think the prices could be clearly and simpler, as there's a load of different meal deals when it would make more sense to do just one priced meal deal for everything, @something like £5 for a sandwich/toastie/panini, drink and snack would be perfect. It felt quite quiet whilst seeming to be quite busy, staff were friendly and helpful and not robots like other chains can be.

Coffee on but could have better seating.

The baguettes from here are to die for, at £4.95 for a baguette, muffin and any hot drink you really can’t complain! Been coming here now for 5 years and never had fault, the smoothies in the summer time are a real cool down treat, would 100% recommend. And you always get service with a smile ☺️

Friendly staff and quick service

I enjoyed having my cheese toastie and a coffee after training in the gym. I have done this for some time now. The food and coffee is lovely and the staff are very nice and friendly. Well done!

Miserable guy with beard that serves! Smile and chat, you'll get more returning customers.

Nice employees n wouldn't mind stopping by again for a coffee n muffin break

Great place for a drink and panini for under a fiver

Great place for a coffee, especially their iced coffee, it's amazing!

Some staff are nice and talkative. The food is ok though sometimes the fresh muffins taste and feel undercooked but mainly nice

I have been here a few times. I think this place should be more popular. Their paninis are really good. My only complaint is the salad served with the panini- the salad does not taste fresh at all. Their hot chocolates and milkshakes are really good.

Great place to chat and have a drink

Love the Smoothies and carrot cake

I come here regularly (once a week) during my shopping trips. I enjoy the simplicity of the place and the service is good. You can't beat getting a 'normal' coffee for a 'normal' price!

Had a latte and a cappuccino, big head of froth on latte however cappuccino was worse, small cup and more than half froth. Went to counter and politely asked for a top up explaining why and showing amount of froth. Was informed this is how it's served, I pointed out surely not with that much froth as it was barely half a cup of coffee. Staff weren't interested, appallingly customer service to match the cold barely there coffee, avoid at all costs and spend your money elsewhere with better service and better coffee

A sweaty greasy haired server. Who needed a hair net. (A wash) was very rude. And was throwing my panini around. And dropped it on the floor. And continued to serve it to me. This was served with a pathetic side salad which consisted of a soggy piece of lettuce. A very thin slice of tomato with no middle. And a thick slice of soft cucumber. If your looking for a nice lunch. Eat somewhere else.

Hot chocolate was cold by the time I got upstairs panini was meant to be chicken bacon and mozzarella was just mozzarella! If I had enough time before work would have taken it back and asked for a refund

Cannot beat a cheap gorgeous lunch at this little cafe. Best baguette and milkshake i have ever had.

Very pleasant excellent service very friendly great place to chill recommend the panninis and a latte .

I had the best cuppacino I have had anywhere in years today. And best of all if was free with their sandwich and coffee special offer price. I will be back next time I am in Manchester.

Better than Starbucks and Costa :D

Customer service was pleasant however... Banana milkshake tasted absolutely awful - it is not a milkshake just a fluorescent coloured liquid and very thin in consistency. I was so displeased with the drink I didn't even bother complaining. Avoid to avoid disappointment!

Very good prices with great muffins and coffee

Great little coffee shop, will always call in here when in Manchester Suspect the negative reviews are from competitors

Love this place.. Love the varriaty of baguettes, paninis and desserts. Reasonable prices and offers aswel. My fav coffee break and the girls there r lovely aswel 😊😊
