EL&N London - Manchester Trafford Palazzo in Trafford

It was our 2nd time. The first time we ordered avocado on toast which was a great disappointment eggswere raw &served on half cooked toast. Coffee was served in a very smelly cup. We went again 4 days ago and ordered what came as a tomatoe base with2 raw eggs. I then ordered 2 slices of sourdough which arrived with frozen butter.i asked for softer butter and was served melted butter. I won't be visiting again A big disappointment The service is slow and unhelpful

This is a very pretty establishment with lovely pink aspects, however it is due some maintenance and is falling apart. Me and my boyfriend went for coffee, cake and lunch. We both ordered pasta that came undercooked, and potatoes that were overdone! My chai latte came in a dirty mug that clearly wasn’t washed properly. The service was SHOCKING. we waited 20 minutes to be seated and once we were seated there is a tablet device that you order off, and when you need service there is a button to call over a staff member, however once we pressed it no one came over. The table next to us was served cold food and coffee. Overall we had a bad experience. No idea how they are charging this much (extremely overpriced it makes Starbucks seem cheap).

Great service from Alejandro and the chef too. Both were pleasant and charming. Helped us decide in the honey cake which was a great recommendation. Food was great too will definitely return. Gracias

I went to elan yesterday with my friend and had a great time .Alexandro was very friendly and helped us place our order .10/10 service by Alexandro . Will come back again.

Lovely food, really friendly staff, the menu is small but the food is good quality. Vegan and vegetarian options, good allergy menu.

Alejandro was a prefect waiter and had the charisma and charm to make you feel welcome and comfortable whilst enjoying your food, we had coffees and turkey bacon maple stack pancakes and they were 10/10 The maple butter was the perfect amount to be able to keep dipping your pancakes into and to top it off on a cold morning the heaters were on for us too! Perfect start to the day!!

Lovely food and service was really good too! Our waiter Alejandro was so helpful and really friendly! Would recommend :)

Make us stand in queue for 30 minutes even when seats were available,very understaffed,staff running around everywhere,prepared food waiting to be served too long getting cold,drinks were not too great!

I recently visited EL&N, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The food, specifically the pasta with cheese, took over 30 minutes to arrive, and when it did, it wasn’t cooked well. In addition to the long wait and undercooked food, the staff were not welcoming or attentive, which made the experience even worse. Overall, the service and food quality did not meet expectations, and I left feeling quite dissatisfied. Given these issues, I’m not inclined to return unless there are significant improvements in both the food preparation and customer service.

Got 3 hot drinks asked for them to be hot in temperature via the app and they were literally luke warm.. 1st and last time, only Decor nice that's it. It is overpriced

Over rated & over priced. Ordered French toast and some paprika potatoes but was not worth it!

Outstanding! Service was great and food was magnificent. Potions were big and considering Trafford Centre prices it wasn’t expensive by any means. Would come again

Lovely little meal this evening as a last summer outing for the kids. Very attentive and welcoming staff. The kids really enjoyed them showing how the Bubble Tea was made. They took good care of the member of our group with an allergy. Service was outstanding. The children and adults had a great time and they want to go back for breakfast every weekend.

Very bad service😡Ordered 2 cups of cappuccinos and it took more than 1/2 hour and weren’t delivered to us😡then I requested to cancel the order. The Barista was careless and awkward. The waitress was stressed and she was the only one who served all customers. Awful experience and not recommended place to dine in or have simple cup of coffee

Coffee was good. Coffee cup was dirty. Nutella and Coffee Cake taste nothing like Nutella & Coffee.. very disappointed. Floor/Table/Chairs was super dirty.

Thank you Alejandro for the amazing service you gave us this evening. You were a pleasure to speak to. Drinks and dessert were delicious. Will definitely be back for more!

Really gorgeous place. Lovely decor and grey atmosphere. All the staff are really friendly and the food was delicious. Unlike most places the drinks look exactly as they did in the pictures. Definitely will be returning.

Thank you for your lovely service Sandra and because of your lovely attitude i came back and bought a cake however the manager Kinga was rude and disrespectful.That is unacceptable if it was not for Sandra the desserts i would have not come back. Management should treat customers with respect

Took the kids for an instagrammable brunch, nice atmosphere and design in the place. Food was OK, was disappointed they didn't warm the croissants. Drinks were nice - but pricy. We enjoyed our visit but don't think we'll return as for the price they really should warm the food. The oreo cube croissant was nice but very sickly as the middle was solid.

It is very beautiful and I recommend it. The atmosphere is excellent, as is the service, food and hot or cold drinks..

The food wasn't that good. But it was presented in a really nice way! The music in the mall was also pretty bad and echoed super bad sadly.

Just popped in for a coffee and ended up having Eggs Benedict and Turkish Eggs, both superb. We will definitely be back.

6 out of 5 stars. Beautiful, novel and delicious food. With friendly and helpful service. Stunning decor: piles of pink flowers and insta sayings make it a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth! Can't wait to go back!

The french toast in pistachio sauce was awful and burnt. We asked them to replace it with another new one. Croissant and Oreo cake were nice. Staff were friendly.

Had a lovely time here with my partner. Food was top notch and it feels very special. The decor is beautiful very pink, and floral. I liked being able to pay on the tablet. Our server was Katie and she was great. Only thing I would prefer is a less public location and somewhere more intimate.

The staff are all so friendly and the drinks / cake was great. Thank you!!

Lovely setting and great service from Alejandro

I had takeaway Round Croissant. It was not fresh, just seems good but no taste.

Fantastic warm welcome from Alejandro today who made sure we were seated promptly. Our server Tina has served us before and she has previously made some excellent recommendations- the Spanish Latte is my favourite! The staff are super friendly and very attentive. As someone who has worked in hospitality for many years too, Alejandro seemed to be doing an excellent job at managing the floor well and had a constant smile on his face! Thank you for your excellent service today Alejandro and Tina!

To be totally honest we didn’t expect much from here just wanted a coffee and a bite to eat but, it was unreal! I had the melted cube croissant which was delicious, and my mum (who has coeliac disease) had the pistachio cake, which she describes as “the best gluten free cake she’s ever had”😁

Came in with my brother and my wife and was greeted very rudely, the staff at the entrance was not bothered and very rude to my younger brother when he asked a simple question about the cakes. Got seated and waited a long time even though there were 3 staff clearly free to take our orders, standing around joking around, they then went on to serve the table next to us whilst we had to wait for someone else to serve us. Asked for water which was not given to us, left on the counter. First time in Manchester but definitely not coming back to this cafe.

Will definitely be going again very soon. So many temptations, didn't know what to choose. Great service by Luis. Milkshake gorgeous, pasta and then cake. Had to take most of my cake home - too full. Excellent value for money.

Ordered a chicken schnitzel burger - this was processed chicken. Absolutely disgusting! Also ordered a chargrilled chicken sandwich and there was hardly any chicken, it was disguised with mozzarella, bread was hard and soaked in grease! The Mojito didn’t even taste like a mojito, had a strong taste of ginger and was told this is how they make it. Would not recommend this place, it’s one of those “boujee” places for the instagrammers and ticktokers. What a waste!

Had a lovely breakfast & very friendy staff will be back later for milkshakes & cake! 😃

Delicious food and drink. Dealt with allergies really effectively and with a welcoming approach. One issue with a croissant being dry and it was removed from the bill without asking.

Professional, clean, nice vibe, friendly staff, nice menu, god service, seating area, nice selection of breakfast items and treats. A little pricey, but good for a treat or special occasion. 😉

The food was really tasty, also the waiters were really lovely especially Kinga.

Was a good experience however the waitress wasn't on her "A" game. we ordered 2 cakes and 2 mojitos. The drinks came and tasted amazing but the waitress forgot our cakes on top of the glass container were the cakes normally is for display and she started serving other customers while we wait. I had to tell a different waitress to bring us our cakes from the top of the glass and put them on our table. But overall a relatively good experience.

We enjoyed the Cafe here with great welcoming and service by Louis who were very kind and much polite The Cappuccino was extremely great and honey cake must be tried Don't forget to charge your phone😂

Went for a quick coffee and cake. The food didn't disappoint. It was quite good and was presented very well. The staff were quite attentive and brownie points for the ambience as well.

Absolutely love EL&N, super cute place and vibe, and the food and drinks are always amazing! Our server Luis was so lovely too :)

Lovely place. The staff were so nice and our cake and drinks we amazing. There was also a plug under the seat so I could use my phone charger, which I really appreciated.

The food and drinks are very nice. Beautiful cafe. ADHI service very good. We had great experience. Thanks again ADHI :)

Very good cakes lovely staff manager was very nice helpful great atmosphere

Adhi was great very attentive. Lovely decor cakes and coffee were beautiful. Thank you

A great place to visit, lovely food, dessert and drinks! Alejandro was superb, he gave great recommendations and made us feel super welcome.

Great friendly service, food was delicious! Presentation of food was beautiful! Cutest was the presentation of the cappuccino ☺️ definitely come back again!

Food and drink was incredible, would highly recommend EL&N! Will 100% be returning to try the rest of the menu!

The service was great, had a small issue with the temperature of my mocha they rectified it immediately without any quibbles, had the shakshuka with extra feta 10/10.

Don't go if you are in rush . Took ages to take our order and then took ages to get the bill . Coffee and cakes were lovely but let down by the inattentive staff .

Absolutely love this place ! Food is delicious a real treat on the taste buds x

Absolutely lovely afternoon at EL&N! Food was incredible and the service was absolutely top notch ! Will definitely be coming back again !

Excellent quality food and drink, well worth a visit!

The panda’s on the coffee were so cute and the Turkish eggs were so tasty!

Really beautiful quality food and lovely service. For the quality the pricing is really fair. Atmosphere is so lovely. Really nice place- my little girl particularly loved it. It’s a real pink paradise.

The banana french toast was amazing and the staff were helpful

Perfect place to start the day before we commence shopping. Excellent menu and drinks enjoyed by the family.

We came over from Dublin and found this beautiful place for coffee and cakes. Alejandro and his team were so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back and I would recommend to any of my friends coming over to the Trafford Centre from Ireland.

Was so lovely had friends over from Dublin. S was amazing x

Partner and I wanted to taste their nice-looking cakes before going to an appointment. We thought 20min would be enough, we were obvs. wrong. Took quite a few minutes to get their attention, eventually ordered but the two slices of cakes (not even drinks) never made it to our table within the following 15min, unable to cross the 6 feet from the showcase so we left without getting anything, disappointed. There were only a few customers in, and 4 staff members were chatting whilst waiting at the entrance. The cakes are already made and just needed to be set on a plate and served, 6 steps from where they are displayed so unsure why so long. The staff seems polite and rather friendly, and the cakes appear delicious (judging only by sight) but the service is clearly slow. Be ready to spend some time there if you go, avoid if in a rush. Leaving 3 * because I have not tried the cakes so will not judge on that, but the service clearly needs improving.

The world's best French toast OMG

Great service from the manager! He was super helpful with choosing flavours etc and we loved the gluten free cakes. Highly recommend! :)

Alejandro was nice and friendly, service was very good and food was delicious. Definitely would come again

Great customer service Food is amazing

The staff were very attentive and nice. The drinks and food came at a timely manner. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was very tasty and filled me up :)

The decor and atmosphere at EL&N are stunning. I had the eggs Benedict for brunch and it was delicious and cooked very well. Our waitress Sandra was also very helpful and tended to all our needs <3

Great place, lovely staff! The Turkish eggs was amazing!!

Gluten free options for cake! Lovely atmosphere

Amazing food and service Loved my food Friendly staff

Great service and amazing frappes

Lovely service and great drinks

Located in the middle of Trafford Palazzo, EL&N is a must try! The staff are that good, they remembered our names from last time (we come here often). The drinks are delicious. I had an ube bubble tea which I recommend because it is very tasty and the tapioca is yummy (in my opinion) and my dad had a flat white (excellent quality of coffee bean; smooth and strong to drink!). I recommend at least coming here every time you visit the Trafford Centre!

Too cold 🥶 there may be good place to be for the summer Sweet potatoes fries not to my taste but the rest very well a delight

Great service from Tina, loved the pancakes and coffee 😊😊

Wonderful drinks and amazing looking cakes

This place is awesome well worth a visit

Been to EL&N multiple times. Amazing pasta and burgers and very good cakes and Spanish coffee. Everyone is very friendly and great place overall

Amazing service! Especially Alejandro was really chatty and helpful! Great food; must visit if your in Manchester 😍

Very lovely place and nice Ube bubble tea!

Excellent and friendly service fantastic atmosphere and drinks!

Love coming here, we even sat in our favourite booth again. Perfect for celebrating birthdays and the staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you! Definitely recommend!

Staff where really nice and the food is amazing

Great spot for breakfast/brunch. We love that it opens an hour before the shops, so it’s perfect timing for food then shopping. The staff are always lovely. The food and drinks are always perfect. One of our favs 🩷

Really nice atmosphere, cute vibes and yummy food

Excellent service, Alejandro was really lovely & attentive - food was tasty & presented really well. Highly recommend ✨

Fabulous service and gorgeous food. Delicious selection of gluten free cake which was a real treat as I’m coeliac.

Trying to contact you as may have left bag in trafford centre el &n but no where seems to have number listed. Not helpful.

I especially love the decor in here. It's my favourite colour pink. Everything was so clean. The food & drinks were so delicious, friendly staff they're so helpful.

Great service great food. We were served by Luis ♥️

Have been a few times. Always good service, and good food would recommend :) bring a coat

Great food, the drinks are astonishing and its very pink

Beautiful place and amazing service by Kinga 🥰🥰🥰

Excellent location..a varied menu and the coffee tastes great..worth a visit Excellent location..a varied menu and the coffee tastes great..worth a visit

Amazing food , very good service & nice atmosphere. Always have an fab experience here

Everything was out of stock at 8.50pm, apart from the cakes. The waitress did not want to be there. Very rude. No mocktails or milkshakes. The coffee was disgusting.

Gorgeous food, fast and friendly service x

All the cakes ordered (Pistachio and Safran cakes) were not fresh, may be since two days. The taste was really bad. I only came to them for their cakes, coffee lovers this is not the right place for you at all.

Alin is so professional and welcoming.. a beautiful host

We had a very nice time in EL&N with help of Adhi who helped us in choosing tasty cakes 😍

Overpriced and the taste was not worth it. The cakes and everything looks great but the taste is very bad. I would never ever go there again.
