Amazing brunch experience, tasty food, great choice of cocktails and nice beers. The best thing about the place was the staff, they were lovely, provided such a great service, and so friendly. Would recommend this place to everyone

This place had a lovely atmosphere, it's small but has tables outside too the staff were really welcoming and accomodating. We are vegan so it's always a worry going to a 'standard' cafe or restaurant in case there aren't any options. There was a vegan special, a vegan breakfast, a vegan main course and some vegan brownies I think. We ordered the humus and falafel sandwich, which to be honest I didn't think sounded great but OMG it was genuinely delicious. The cocktails were two for £10. Really recommend this place :-)

This morning (1st May) my fiancé and I went to Ferderal to get a coffee and snack. We were excited to get back after lockdown. Whilst waiting in the queue, I felt very dizzy and I passed out. The staff were so wonderful and kind. Reese and another girl (sorry I forgot your name!) helped pick me up and care for me. It was so lovely. Service is amazing and so is the coffee! Would definitely recommend ☺️

I am a self proclaimed foodie and showcase the most instaworthy food in Chicago so when I travel I always search for the best in that particular city. Not only is the Federal a cute corner spot with great sunlight but their food is knockout good. Everything is insanely fresh and you can taste the craft they out into their house made items like their sourdough and fresh juices. Try the Superman! Their French Toast is very photo worthy & their eggs benedict with halloumi is the tastiest dish I had while in Manchester. Their lattes are perfect!!! It would be a mistake not to eat here. Even if there is a queue they move so quick and get everyone seated and eating ASAP! And it’s worth any wait. Their staff is the cherry on top. So friendly and attentive. Reece is the best & running the show! Can’t wait to come back next time in here. Follow me on Instagram @instaworthychicago Jackée

I’ve walked by this place a lot and decided to try it out as there’s always a crowd outside and it looks pretty trendy. I ordered a matcha latte which tasted awesome, one of the best I’ve tried and not expensive either. I like the way they offer non dairy options for milk as I prefer soya milk which was great. The staff were friendly and although it was crowded, I didn’t need to wait long for my drink. Overall a chic cafe on Deansgate with great matcha lattes!

Directamente desde el principio, este lugar pasó la prueba de vibración. Gran ambiente encantador olor a café recién hecho realmente muy buen comienzo. Había escuchado cosas realmente buenas sobre este lugar, así que tenía muchas expectativas y no me decepcionaron.Tuve los huevos Benedict con salmón ahumado y fue increíble.

Ik kon binnen plaats nemen en de lieve dame draaide een gigantische ventilator mijn kant op zodat de warmte geen grip op mij zou hebben. De jongen mensen die hier werken zijn hip en joviaal tegen klanten en elkaar. Leuk om te zien. Ik heb een toast met zalm, avocado en gepocheerd ei besteld met daarnaast een havermelk Latté.

I just walked in to buy a tote bag for my boyfriends birthday and the manager there told me that they’d just moved all the stock to the other store. I was on my lunch break and I don’t live in Manchester so I was unable to come back for another two weeks. The manager told me he would post the bag to me so I could get the bag in time for my boyfriends birthday. Just a small gesture goes a long way and I was served by multiple staff there who were all so polite and friendly! Coffee is amazing too but just wanted to say thank you and highly recommend for service and food!

I have visited here a handful of times with friends and family. It’s a reliable place to go for some good food. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is chilled. The only issue I’ve ever had is wait time as you can’t book. Be wary not to go during peak weekend times. The bloody Mary’s are great or alternatively the choc milk!

Def one good safe option to have breakfast in Manchester! Food is good! They love to use and might go a bit heavy handed with cumin though! (which I am allergic to) and is not described on the products used on the menu. Other than that, amazing coffee, good atmosphere, good breakfast cocktails. Must try the pasteis de nata!!!! Def need a spicy breakfast option on the menu without the middle eastern flavour and spices!

Visitamos Federal Café un Jueves hacia las 10.30h para hacer un brunch. Las "toasties" muy elaboradas, y buenísimas. La mía era de aguacate, huevo pochado y remolacha... ¡Me dejó alucinado! El cappuccino bastante bueno, teniendo en cuenta que en el Reino Unido no dominan demasiado el tema café. Fuimos expresamente a Federal por la buena reputación que tiene en la ciudad y por su buena ubicación (Deansgate), y fue un acierto. Recomendaría ir pronto, ya que te quedas bastante lleno, y luego cuesta comer en horario británico.

One of the coolest places to have breakfast ever, I would advise you even if u are passing for a one night this is the place to have breakfast, just drop the hotel breakfast and head there and you won’t get disappointed at all, the avocado and eggs or the eggs chorizo is very tasty, they are very creative with the menu and would never turn you away if u are gluten intolerant specially if u crave a French Toast that is gluten free, they would just have a solution to make you enjoy ur day maybe not the same taste but at least ur’re a taste of satisfaction.

Day off in Manchester and 5 of us turned up at Federal on a busy Saturday morning. No room inside so we took a table out in the (very) fresh street. A very pleasant server took our orders and within a few minutes our hot drinks arrived, followed by our food. I had an excellent poached egg, mushroom, halloumi and chorizo on sourdough toast. My fellow breakfasteers has variations on this, really great looking porridge with fruit and coffees. All served by a succession of really pleasant waitresses who didn’t seem to mind the cold.

Stumbled across this rustic cafe for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’m usually a tea drinker but tried their coffee and loved it. I had the yoghurt with fresh fruit, again lovely, and my partner had scrambled egg with bacon on toast, which went down well. One little gripe was I had to send my cutlery back twice due to not being cleaned thoroughly. Would recommend and revisit myself.

She guessed a table for 4 wait would take at least 25 mins, but was able to move a table of 2 over to a different table so the other 2 on the large table were nearly finished. Then shortly after we were seated.

Welcomed by a lovely young woman working there, who was super sweet, but the blonde women at the till didn’t ooze off friendly vibes, which didn’t feel very welcoming (I take customer service quite seriously). I would suggest someone else taking over the till if that’s her attitude all the time and was not a one off, bad mood day moment. At the end of the day, costumers aren’t only paying for the food, but we’re mostly there to pay for the experience. So imo, workers should be extra careful with their customer service.

The food here is amazing and we've never left dissapointed. They do get very busy, especially during weekends, with queues running out the door which just shows how popular this place is. They change their specials quite regularly and we love it when our all time favourite of pulled beef with siracha and poached eggs appear on the menu. Everything is so fresh and tasty, and well priced. Great coffee too. We've probably tried everything on the menu and can't fault this place. No wonder they've gone and opened a second branch on Deansgate!

I recently popped in for Saturday brunch with a pal and was blown away by the taste of the food and the friendliness of the staff. We had to wait half an hour for a table, which on a Saturday at peak brunch time is only to be expected, and it sure was worth the wait. As soon as I saw a menu, I had my heart set on the french toast which came served with berries, almonds, mascarpone and salted caramel sauce. Hands down the best french toast, if not brunch, I've ever eaten. My friend had mushrooms, egg and halloumi on toast which appeared to be equally delicious and we washed our breakfasts down with an iced mocha and matcha latte respectively.

Ich hatte das Federal Cafe schon lange auf meiner Frühstücks Liste in Manchester. Durch die Top Klassierung auf TripAdvisor war die Schlange vor dem Lokal für einen Tisch immer zu Lange für mich. Heute hats aber funktioniert und wir haben glücklicherweise auf Anhieb einen Tisch bekommen. Das Lokal ist sehr klein aber sympathisch. Die Bedienung super freundlich. Bestellen muss man allerdings direkt am Tresen, was mich nicht störte. Ich entschliess mich für das Special of the day - Eggs Benedict mit pulled Beef, gebratenen Chorizo einen Latte und einen OJ. Die bestellten Köstlichkeiten kamen dann auch ziemlich schnell. Das Eggs Benedict war eine Sensation. Der gebratene Chorizo war ebenfalls lecker. Der Latte war gut und der OJ war frisch gepresst. Sprich es war alles einwandfrei. Beim Verlassen des Lokals, war dann die Schlange wieder beträchtlich gross.... durchatmen... Glück gehabt. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen (sofern ich mal wieder Glück habe ohne gross anzustehen rein zu kommen)

Amazing food, huge portions and some great varieties from the normal - their Halloumi & Shrooms is an excellent dish with a home made tomato and cumin sauce which is fantastic. Desserts are equally impressive with the warmed, homemade banana bread being both big on portion size and taste, while remaining light and not stodgy.

I never ever do this...that is to write a review when I’m still here! This place is a gem...great coffee and the poached eggs on sourdough with added streaky bacon were cooked to perfection. As if that’s not good enough the staff are the nicest in the City by far! Attentive but not intrusive...infectiously happy and Zo who seated me and ran the door with uncanny skill and humour would be an asset to any business anywhere! With so much to choose from including healthy covering all dietary requirements there’s always a reason to pop in....pastel de natas (Portuguese custard tarts) look amazing as do the gluten free salted caramel brownies....next time they will be mine!

I have been a regular visitor to federal for over the past three years and I love going back each time. I have brought family here who have visited and they always love it. I think there has been a change of chef though or fed is changing it up a bit as the food has been coming out a bit differently still has the amazing taste though which is the main thing! One thing I would say is that the french toast used to be massive qualifying for the £8 something (I think) they charge for it and I used to get it because I didn’t mind paying but now it comes out a lot smaller and I don’t think it warrants what is being charged which is a shame because I love the quality of federal and the staff are lovely that would be my only thought of where to improve.

Met a friend here for brunch. Had turmeric Latte, cappuccino , eggs Benedict and Shrooms and grilled halloumi. Every thing was yum. Quick service and great staff.

I eat at Federal at least once every few weeks and literally cannot fault this place. The staff are second to none, the food is fresh and always tastes amazing and the coffee is sublime.

Visited this morning with my husband and baby. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and made such a fuss of my daughter...she loved it! The food, coffee and service was superb! Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a great start to the day!

We visited with a large group and the wait was quite a while on the sunday morning. Our group wasn't all there at the time and the staff were very apologetic when they seated others before us - even to the point when they gave us a free coffee to make up for it! (Their coffee is so good - I would recommend it) I loved the french toast, it was the best!

The best mozzarella bites you'll ever eat, and a drinks menu so far above and beyond what you'd expect from a sandwich restaurant. Truly worth the trip.

We called here on the back of good reviews for cocktails. The bar has a good atmosphere and the staff are very friendly even when busy. My wife had a Persephone which she said was delicious and not badly priced at £11. There are special offers during week night. There were four beers on draft and I had the Beautiful Things by Big Trip which was very good and well priced for the area at £6. We did not eat but the Sunday lunches looked very good.

We were pleased to discover that this cafe is now open on a Monday, although they don’t open until 10 so don’t head down too early. We haven’t been in a while, and today was also the first time I have sat inside here. On a wet day, there were lots of indoor tables first thing, but they were all full by the time we finished our brunch. It’s a popular spot and the food is good. A range of cooked options, and both French toast and pancakes. No granola or similar items. The full English got a big tick from me - a good sized serving of mushrooms, tasty hash brown, not too much sausage (one small one, which was just right) but generous with the bacon and the one egg was done well. I wouldn’t rave about the coffee, but it was okay and when we asked for tap water, we got a chilled carafe rather than a small glass, which also pleased me. Friendly service and the meals came out in good time. Quite a walk down a somewhat precarious staircase to the basement toilet; not unheard of at cafes in this area, but something for anyone with mobility issues to be aware of. Next time hopefully it will be sunny enough to sit out front again, and to watch the world pass by, but I now know that on a wet day, this is also a great place to eat indoors.
