Ditto Coffee in Manchester

My son was in Manchester for the last three years at Uni. This was my favourite coffee shop when visiting. Limited food options but everything they have is really fresh and really good. Can be busy at times. Free WiFi and laptop friendly.

Review for Ditto, Oxford Road, Manchester I had a disappointing experience at Ditto. The customer service was incredibly poor. The staff were grumpy and seemed like they didn’t want to help at all. They were outright rude and made it clear they wanted me out as quickly as possible. I won’t be returning here. I’d rather spend my money where it’s appreciated and where the customer service meets a higher standard. Stay clear of this place!

The coffee blend is salty/acid taste based

raspberry matcha latte was spot on - great for a first try, thank you! :)

The service is very good. The coffee is very fragrant. I especially like his croissant. It’s delicious. Whether it’s pistachios or raspberries, the ingredients are solid.

Lovely place near the palace theatre. Lunchtime food if you're quick.

good latte good service good atmosphere

Oggi ci siamo fermati qui per una colazione che ci è stata addebitata due volte. Abbiamo chiesto chiarimenti, ma sono state date risposte non corrette. Non si fa!

I work a few days a month in Manchester and I always make sure I drop in and pick up my oat latté. The coffee is a really nice rounded flavour, never burnt!

**REVIEW FOR UNION IN ALBERT SQUARE, NOT OXFORD ROAD** These five stars are for the food. It's way overpriced and the waiters were not helpful and did not seem to care about anything.

Great coffee, wonderful staff. Great Music. The team that serve you are polite and kind, helpful and know their beans! Good location.

lived here ever since I was born (so, coming up on 20 years now) and this chain - there’s one of Oxford Road too - does some of the best coffee in Manchester :)

Lovely soy latte bigger than my hand!

Heard the staff talking about reviews this morning so I thought I’d leave one. This is my go to coffee shop in Manchester, friendly staff, great atmosphere and of course a superb coffee. Highly recommended

Great service and chill music, perfect place to do your work.

I loved the place and the cafe so much, the flat white was good taste , bakewell tart was sooo delicious 😋😋 and service was so nice, the staff were very lovely and so kind. ☺️ This is my first time visiting the place and it won't be the last.

The workers are so nice and coffee is good

I love ditto and the ladies there are super nice

Ditto make a good oat milk latte, but don't have a big selection of food. Mostly prepackaged sandwiches and a small selection of muffins and croissants. I like the vibe and support of local musicians 🎶

a good place to spend afternoon with friendly staff.

So overpriced. Bought the tea and cake deal for £6 in total but even with the deal what I got was incredibly overpriced all things considered. Yorkshire tea bag that I can get from Lidl for £3, and a one layered very mid carrot cake for £3.40. I have never seen a cafe sell one layered carrot cake in my life!! Service was fine, but the actual cafe stuff was so mid

Good coffee and nice friendly service. Fair price and clean a clean loo, what more do you want?

Great little spot. I imagine great for co-working. Came for breakfast and a coffee. Great coffe, great vibes. Would go back.

Ordered a flat white. State of the drink given to me, considering the positive reviews and pictures of speciality coffee looking drinks on the menu. Awful

In the busy hustle of Manchester and Oxford road, this is a lovely place to come for a flat white. Nice window seat for people watching and a great place to sit and do some work if desired. Not filled with too many working and a nice mix of social gatherings and workers alike. The staff are always friendly and the price isn't too bad either.

Good coffee, lovely staff, AMAZİNG LEMON DRİZZLE! Always take away but a cute corner to sit in.

Coffee is good The cakes are also sweet And something special, forks from "Miś";)) but no chain

Much cheaper filter than in many other locations and a very good one. Great music choice and nice staff.

Ditto coffee launched in 2018. I came here for the brand new brunch menu and seasonal treats! Can’t believe they have Hong Kong style french toast with a twist! Needless to say, coffee as their specialty is divine, but the brunch options are also surprisingly delicious. The mushroom soup is particularly impressive. We love the Yorkshire pudding wrap with loads of slow-cooked beef brisket too! The team behind the coffee shop is the founder of Ditto Music! So they are huge supporters of independent music!

Great experience, very friendly staff with a warm & inviting atmosphere!

Thank you so much! Amazing coffee!

Excellent coffee in the centre of Manchester. The espresso was great, I would definitely come again next time I’m visiting the city. The staff were super friendly too and welcomed our dog with fuss and treats.

Amazing friendly place. Delicious coffee. Staff delightful. We need you in Birmingham.

Been there several times, never disappointed. Yorkshire pudding deserves five stars and chicken burger was the best I've ever had!"

We had two Americanos. They were ok. I had the wild mushrooms, poached eggs on ciabatta. It was a very nice portion, perfectly cooked. Kept me filled up all afternoon. I would recommend as they had a few nice veg options. Staff were friendly enough. Nice cafe.

The staff are so lovely and adhere to any requests that you have! The coffee was amazing and the brownie was delicious. Good prices for the quality! Also dog friendly!

Amazing coffee, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

A lovely little cafeteria. Cappuccino was very good. The croissant was okay. What I liked most, it's a clean place. My elbows didn't stick on the table. Keep it up! And very friendly staff

A sweet little place to pause and reflect with good coffee and to view the world outside

Really nice espresso (better than any chain by far) without the pretension of 'artisan coffee'. Great service

Excellent. Great coffee and the BEST music in the background. Shine on…

Very impressed with the service here. Both members of staff were very friendly and helpful. The coffee was very good, and it feels more comfortable than other local coffee shops.

I haven't visited for a while but I did this week and had the worst customer service ever. I went to work with my laptop and have a coffee. The reason for not having been for a while was that's it is too loud to work but the customer service was okay. This time there was a guy with blue hair taking my order and asked me where I am sitting. I told him I am not sure yet and he was telling me i cannot pay until I know. I had a look around and show him a table. Then he asked for the table number. I told him I don't know that, and pointed the table which to note it was across the counter. He was telling me with a BIG attitude that I cannot pay until I go and find out the table number! Not only he was rude, he was bored being there, he didn't even know the numbers and anyway I was the only customer ordering at that time, so obviously he could see where I was sitting. To make matters worse, when I asked him at a later point the wifi code, again very rudely and ironically told me to go check it myself. He - in purpose - didn't tell me that, but some other customers sitting next to me shared the password with me. When I left he was on his phone and didn't even say thank you or something. The rudest service EVER! I then went to work on 200 degrees and guess what I ordered and they brought the coffee without even asking for a table number or where to sit! I wouldn't bother visit this place - so many other coffee shops to work from with excellent customer service. And the coffee could be better!

Genuinely one of the best breakfast paninis I’ve ever had

What a lovely spot for brunch! Stopped here for a quick bite and was give exceptional service. Loved the halloumi and poached eggs - topped it off with a chai latte. Scrumptious!

I was hoping for better coffee than the usual chains, but as disappointed by the my Americano, which was very bland. It's good that the place opens early - I was there at 07:45, but the staff were obviously not morning people!

My daughter and I called in at 3.30 on a Saturday afternoon. We stood at the counter for a minute or so whilst three members of staff ignored us, until an unsmiling woman with red hair eventually told us to ‘order at the till’ (basically two feet further along). One of her colleagues appeared at this point of the counter and told us they’d be closing at 4. We only wanted two teas, so said this would be fine and she said she’d bring them over. Five minutes later, we were presented with two paper cups each containing a tea bag and boiling water. My daughter had to go and ask if we could please have some milk. A sparing amount was added into the cups and they were brought back to us. My daughter went again and asked if we could please have some more milk which we could add ourselves, to taste, and pointed out that we were not expecting take away cups. The sullen, red-haired woman was rude and dismissive - we’d been told they were closing soon, hadn’t we? There are so many excellent tea and coffee shops in Manchester, with lovely, welcoming staff, we will definitely not be wasting our time and money at this one again. At 3.50, another member of staff came round to every table to let people know they were closing in ten minutes (like we hadn’t already got the message). Basically, I can’t believe we were charged £6.20 for two tea bags and two disposable cups, and not even asked if we wanted milk. A warm welcome, an apology, or even a smile, would have softened the blow.

Nice aesthetic to the cafe. 1 out of 3 workers was lovely. She was the one with glasses and red hair I forgot her name but she was lovely. Another girl was shorter with red curly hair was rude and it felt like microagressive. I ordered a sandwich and she just snatched and had a face and then the lovely girl said is this for toasting and the rude girl didn't even ask then looked at me rudely and said you want it toasted right? And I said yes, I would have left if the other girl wasn't nice. The man was okay but slight sass to him. I would be wary going there as a person of colour. It's not very welcoming.

Super friendly staff! They have been really accommodating with my nut and coconut allergies, which I really appreciate :).

Very nice coffee and croissant! Friendly staff. Will be back!

Really glad we stopped here for brunch. We were pleased with both service and food. Very tasty. Friendly service and good food, recommended.

Best brunch for a long time. Really excellent.

Great little coffee shop. Lovely atmosphere and good WiFi. Really chilled.

Loved the chai latte! Lovely ambience too to just sit and read

Holy Cow!!! That was GOOOOOOOD! Best breakfast i’ve had in a very long time

Locale carino, moderno e accogliente. Il primo vero caffè espresso trovato a Manchester

I was out with a friend and we were looking for a coffee shop that still had an available table. We walked past this place and there was one table to spare so we went in. The atmosphere was nice as soon as we walked in. Coffee was great. Staff were friendly. I don’t like big chain type places, so this was perfect.

Awesome coffee. Told the chap behind the counter there was an unattended package underneath one of the desks. Gave me a blank stare and carried on looking through his phone. I’m Manchester if all places.. Stink attitude.

Nice little pitstop for a lovely coffee. Student discount offered (10% when I went) and the staff felt really friendly. Would recommend.

Just back from our first visit to Manchester found this little gem, coffee and cakes were delicious and service was fantastic

Excellent coffee shop - v good breakfast sandwiches and good coffee. Good space for catching up on emails too. Handy for Oxford Road Station.

Ditto coffee is a perfect place for coffee break at anytime. You can meet up your colleagues and discuss work as well. Just go with your date at this perfect place and enjoy the coffee with romantic as well as workaholic people around :)

Very good coffee and friendly staff. The products are very good quality and there is plug at each table which make it the perfect place if you need to recharge your phone while you are recharging yourself with coffee and a sandwich.

Hit and miss service, great coffee. The person at the till told me they don't do machiato in a very assertive voice when I got one only days before. Very seriously turned back to their phone to resume what looked like a super Mario game. The person making the coffee (had to ask for double espresso with a bit of milk) was really pleasant and obviously embarrassed with their colleague's attitude. All other times I've visited, around five or six, have been delightful.

Good food, great coffee and fun vibe

Eten was mooi gepresenteerd en degelijk maar de toiletten waren uiterst vies.

+ Nice cafe and friendly staff. + Clean tables and comfortable chairs. Coffee is good but not strong. - Loud music. - No vegan cakes.

Really nice cafe for coffee and cakes

Lovely place, nice staff, good cake! What's not to like!

Absolutely disgusting and over priced. Had the Buddha bowl and was presented with an unpleasant grey mush, undressed leaves and an unripe avocado. No apology - “oh that’s just how we do it”. All that for £8 ! I’d rather have a Greggs sausage roll

Nice coffee and food and pleasant atmosphere nice and relaxing

Coffee isn't all that great, service is nice and real pricey

Nice coffee, so much so we bought a bag of beans whilst we were there. Perhaps a little too much milk in my coffee if I'm being picky. Nice vibe, cool interior and good music. Would visit again.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. And an incredibly tempting selection of cakes and savoury food!! A great place to catch up with friends

We always call here on our way to Manchester Eye Hospital, it's a lovely little place but we were so disappointed when we visited last visit Friday 22nd April..Our coffee was lukewarm.

Located right opposite the Macdonalds, Ditto coffee is a cute little coffee shop with different sandwiches and cakes like rollo blondie, Nutella bakewell and millionaires shortbreads and of course... Coffee. I had an oat cappuccino which was really good. I think they were using Oatly Barista. It definitely wasn't Alpro which is my least favourite so I will be going back :)

One of the nicest coffees ever. Also an excellent selection of cakes.

Nice coffee with pleasant service

Nice place, very nice staff, good Coffee and great carro cake

They have the most delicious Mocha😍

I dropped in to have my flat white. It was not that good, but not bad though (it was so milky). They should work on it. They also have some desserts and sandwiches 🥪 but I haven’t tried them. Anyway, the staff was nice and friendly.

The staff were amazing, food came so fast and was so delicious! Will definitely be back :)

I'm afraid to say that I did not enjoy my experience here. Shortly after arriving and sitting down I was questioned and pressured to order a drink. I understand that some people may freeload on their stay, but I was in the middle of important work on my laptop, and I had all intention to purchase a coffee. I decided I wouldn't be pressured into buying one before I would like to, and feared that they would kick me out when I finished my coffee anyway, and went elsewhere. Such as shame as I had heard good things about this place. But my idea of a coffee shop is one in which I can stay for as long as I like, whilst also ordering when I please. A pleasure which I have had at other coffee shops. If you want to feel pressured and rushed, then go to this place. Otherwise, there are much kinder places, who have offered me water when I sit down.

Just a really great place for lunch and coffee

Great place to get some work done, coffee is good with friendly staff and the selection of lunch foods is good to would recommend and come again.

Took a short pitstop for an oat latte and flapjack. Really nice coffee shop with a great oat latte :)

Lovely coffee shop with friendly staff. Interior is cosy and I love that they have plants for sale! Coffee is pretty good and the toasted sandwiches are tasty. Wish I had gone for a brownie but alas it will be for next time!

Great coffee shop with a good variety of coffee and food. Lovely calm atmosphere too.

Excellent coffee and tasty lunch options.

Lovely coffee, friendly service and nice cake. Took advantage of the coffee and cake for £4.95 offer (11am - 2pm - I think), would recommend.

tried their chai latte today and although i usually prefer mine spiced a bit more, i loved the creaminess of the drink here! good service too :)

Finally found a great coffee in the UK

Pleasant çoffee shop with good service

Nice service and decent coffee. Like the atmosphere too.

Good coffee and somewhere quiet enough to work or take a few calls.

The coffee and hot chocolate was good but the cake was really dry!

My new favourite place to get coffee, superb service, selection and really nice, chilled vibe.

Simple great food and absolutely amazing coffee!Great atmosphere 👌

Very good coffee and friendly staff. Food was OK but expensive.

Very good service and nice staff. A quite place in the middle of the busy Oxford Street! Lovely
