I hated the decor (?), very uncomfortable chairs, noise and requirement to order using the app when there were loads of staff standing about. I did love my mushrooms on toast with black garlic cream which was massive.

Good, a bit expensive for what it is but it's a busy popular spot. I didn't love the vegetarian breakfast options so ended up getting a very strange but tasty sandwich.

Very expensive and sadly, looked better than it tasted. The custard donut seemed to lack vanilla flavour and the drinks were expensive, especially when most of the glass was filled with ice. Unfortunately, we won't be going back.

I visited here as part of a birthday trip to Manchester. Gooey was recommended by a friend and we were keen to visit having seen the hype about it on social media. We arrived and the queue was out of the main door. We waited approx 10-15 minutes before we were seated at a table, which we were okay with. The staff came over and took our order, they were not particularly attentive and did not look all too happy to be there. We ordered the French toast, a coffee and an apple juice, which was said to be fresh that day. The food came after about 15 minutes. The French toast certainly looks impressive, and looks to be around half a loaf of bread. Initially it tasted quite good, however after a few bites it becomes very sickly, very quickly, to the point where I could not force myself to eat any more, and it made me feel quite sick. I would strongly question whether the apple juice was fresh that day, having seen a member of staff pouring it out a carton that appeared shop bought. It was served in a very small glass with a lot of ice, meaning out get very little drink. We ordered two doughnuts to take away which were okay, however nothing special and certainly not worth the price point charged, you could probably get something that tastes better at a local supermarket. Overall we were quite disappointed with our visit, having seen some good reviews it was a shame that it did not live up to these.

Great food. The French toast is an absolute must! I’ve seen previous reviews saying the service is bad but I didn’t experience that. I also didn’t mind leaving a tip at the start as I would like to think it goes towards kitchen staff too preparing the food. 10/10 from me!

The French toast is to die for. Visually pleasing to the eye. The quality is brilliant too. I wouldn't eat it if I was on a diet however. As I can imagine it being full of calories. I wish they did a chicken sandwich for lunch.

Went in for a quick coffee and donuts.. ordered.. and waited.. and waited .. and waited. After twenty minutes we went up to the counter and asked to take them away. There were eight staff behind the counter but none of them seemed very interested in serving any customers.. they were too busy having a chat.. the one person waiting was bringing coffee and cakes out one at a time.. working here seems to be some kind of 'lifestyle choice' and nothing to do with actual work. When we got the coffee and donuts they were great.. shame about the sh1t service.

We tried the French toast, and we can confirm that it is amazing! However, we also ordered a side of hash browns and I ordered the avocado on toast with an egg, and in all honesty, I’ve never have such bland avocado on toast before (it looked beautiful, and you get a nice amount of avocado) and the hash browns were really odd, so it was disappointing. We will be back, but for the French toast and make a pastry. The coffee was also mid.

Very nice eatery for mainly coffee and cakes but best known for its French Toast.We had 3 of the French Toast and a chocolate cookie plus hot and cold drinks between the 6 of us plus we took away 2 Donuts and 2 Cookies.The only downside is realistically you have to queue to get a seat,great when you have all day but not so good if your in a hurry as we waited 20 minutes plus.It was good however but a little pricy for some people.

Great cookies, terrible customer service. Says on their contact page they’ll reply within 48-hours, I’ve been waiting a month and still nothing. Also no response on insta. Staff member at Ducie Street Warehouse was not able to advise if the cookies could be frozen, pretty basic question I ordered a box for my boyfriend’s birthday & ordered it for the wrong date, entirely my own fault so reached out on the off-chance they could delay, I have still had no response to even say they couldn’t Really disappointed, they’re all over insta but can’t reply to emails or messages

I’ve been coming to Gooey regularly and have tried out all their sandwiches. They’re all great but I’d recommend the Reuben, or the Tofu sandwich if you’re vegetarian. There is usually a queue, but it moves quite fast in my experience. The deserts are what most people come for, the French toast is amazing! Staff are always nice too.

Handy tip: if you just want to nip in and get some treats to take away, you don’t have to queue up outside. The tray of treats excited me, and I walked away with a Kinderella Donut…heavenly filling!

Walked here for a bit of dessert after brunching elsewhere to find an extremely long queue for those wanting a table inside. Luckily we wanted to take out our dessert so were able to go to the till and order. I had to order both cookies and donuts for my husband to try when I got home. Absolutely sensational! Excellent quality and I loved how everything was laid out in front of us so you knew exactly what you were getting. They bake everything on site too so no secrets, just gorgeous desserts ! Will definitely return.

Visited Gooey with my husband for a weekend breakfast. Both had the French toast with bacon and it was absolutely delicious 😋 Coffee good and great flavour. Friendly and polite staff. Clean cafe and tables wide enough apart from other customers. We also took 4 doughnuts to go - all were delicious and so yummy. Definitely we will be visiting again.

This beautiful French toast (more like loaf 😉) has been on my list for a while now and I can confirm Gooey DELIVERED. The most beautiful French toast, perfectly golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and filled with the most delicious Dulce de lece. Although it looks heavy I was pleasantly surprised and inhaled the whole thing! The only thing that would make this PERFECT would be an addition of a salty element (even a sprinkle of sea salt) and served alongside some fresh fruit! Other dishes we ordered: • Birria Dip • Hashbrowns • The Reuben Although the other dishes were nice the French toast was the HIGHLIGHT and a MUST!!

We were left waiting outside in the rain for quite a while, despite there being empty tables… they were just taking their time getting them cleaned. Once we ordered, they brought half of the order and left the other half just sat on the counter for a while until we asked for it. We got a bacon sandwich, the bacon was extremely fatty, the bread was too thick and the crusts were so tough they were inedible. We ordered French toast which was tasty but far too much butter. Overall, I think this place isn’t worth the hype and the value for money is poor.

I got a a French roll filled with cream. We also got a red velvet cookie which was huge. Definitely would visit again to sit in to try their French toast.

The service & staff were pleasant. The food was little better than mediocre. The most outstanding aspect of this experience of eating at Greggs, Cherry St Birmigham was the filthy condition. There were straws on the seats. Servietes on the floor and ripped up sugar containers, all littering the floor. The place wasn't that big and would only have taken 3 or 4 minuets to clean. I asked how they can serve people food in such a dirty environment. I was told they were too busy to clean. I said what about the 2 people in the back, that I could clearly see. She siad do you want to go and ask them? I declined. They have got their priorities wrong. Clean first, serve food second, but then I suppose it's all about making money. I certainly won't go back, and nor will I go to another Greggs.

I had the vegan breakfast which exceeded my expectations, although I felt the placement of a spring roll and falafel was quite random. It was the first time I tried tofu and it was extremely nice. Even the toast was spot on! For £6, it was good value for money, especially knowing I could eat everything in the cafe without having to worry. The smoothies were nice too, but were a bit more like juice since they weren’t as thick as a smoothie. I really enjoyed the vibe of the cafe as everyone was so friendly there, it really reminded me of a cafe I used to work at with its chill atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back. They’re also on this fantastic app called ‘Too Good To Go’ which gives you the food a place has leftover at the end of the day at a reduced price so that it doesn’t go to waste! Definitely check it out if you want to save food from being wasted, or just fancy a surprise for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Revisited the cafe a couple of times last year. First in Oct where I had a sausage and egg on toast and some tea. Nothing remarkable as the sausage was of the cheap variety. Bought a couple of slices of the fruit cake which looked nice to take away and it wasn't bad! Staff were really nice and there was seating at the back, beyond the store front. Second time was for breakfast after a morning walk. We ordered 2 breakfasts - can't remember which but they were huge! Very impressed when it arrived and the sausages were of much better quality. Very pleased with what we had then but sadly the cafe isn't open as early now so we can't really go before work like we were able to in the past. The cafe has been closed for a while now but hopefully we will be able to visit for brekkie when it reopens.
