Kings Cafe in Trafford

Just great and really surprising at what works well. Rustic decor and tasty food I defy anyone to critique the food

Normally I’d leave a long and explanatory description of the food I eat but realistically the pictures speak a thousand words

2nd visit to this lovely cafe... First time we had lunch, the frittata and salads were lovely... This weekend we had brunch... full english looked appetising, I had the smashed avocado on rye with bacon and poached eggs.....delicious... The food is fresh and reasonably priced. will definitely be back....

Cosy, independent cafe out of the way in Kings Way offering a varied brunch menu, sandwiches and some main courses for lunch. I have stopped there for breakfast / brunch quite a few times now, the food has always been fresh, and tasty and the service very good. The owner is the chef, he uses quality ingredients and is friendly, just like its staff. The brunch menu is a 'global / international' menu inspired by different countries including Austria (potatoes, lardons), Tunisia (Merguez sausage), Spain etc alongside the more traditional full english dishes and eggs benedict. I have had the full veggie and the eggs benedicts several times, always very nice, plenty on the plate and good value for money, even more so wednesday to friday when there is free coffee or tea alongside any breakfast. Highly recommend.

Tasty.fresh vegetarian breakfast. Good quality meat with the full English breakfast. All fresh and local.

Was driving through altringaham and saw this place on an off chance. Me and my friend ordered American pancakes and a full English the food was delicious and fresh and the staff were courteous and friendly. Delightful little find and will be returning.

Called in a couple of days ago as it was mayhem and chaos in the famous Alty Market (no fun at all when it’s in Christmas Crèche mode) - Kings Cafe was an oasis of calm and we got seated at once.Really good range of food available including some healthy warm salads - we both chose halloumi and cous cous which was delicious. I can also recommend the Eggs Benedict here which is PERFECT. 100% recommended, service also excellent we were attended to in a timely manner and didn’t wait long for the food. I will always lunch or brunch here when in Altrincham why bother going anywhere else and be disappointed?

Lovely cafe situated in the kings court area of Altrincham...great breakfast, sandwichs and bistro snacks. My fav is the Spanish panini with deli salad and triple cooked chips, all local fresh produce used. This is defo firm favourite which always impresses

Attended a wedding here at this quaint little restaurant - i was very impressed -With the service and food quality & quantity . The quirky setting Within court yard was really special .The Manager was so helpful and worked alongside bride & Groom to enable them to achieve the desired outcome to there Special day .This venue is reasonably priced -value for money ...

Matt, Andy and Georgina run a cool cafe with top tunes and food to die for. My #EggsBen where the best, hollandaise balanced with white wine vinegar, wilted spinach on thick toasted rye breadGet down there and immerse yourself in a truly marvellous eating experience

We had a suprise party here for my mum and the place was perfect for the 35+ guests that we had. Food was quirky but delicious. Matt and Sinead were fab hosts and very flexible with all our organising requests. Mum had a wonderful night and particularly enjoyed having her own bouncer on the door. We would definitely come again and would recommend it for a family meal/ get together.

Tenía un brunch principios de huevos benedictinos con jamón y un té. El servicio era rápido huevos escalfados eran muy crudos que estaba bien un poco caro 7 libras, el matrimonio por el mismo precio tenía mejor relación calidad-precio en general. El bocadillo de desayuno y a 3 libras, buena relación calidad-precio, con la opción de agregar elementos. En general, volvería.

My mum and I pooped in for lunch. Very welcoming staff, great service, we felt relaxed and cosy here. We would defiantly return next time we visit Newbury

We had a Sunday afternoon party after my Granddaughters Christening. Matt and the staff were more than helpful. The food was amazing. A great venue. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it - a huge success! Thankyou.

Visitamos aquí nuestro preferido café brunch estaba lleno y tuvimos que esperar mucho para asientos/comida. La comida estaba bien pero nada para morirse. La camarera nunca sonrió una vez y claramente no está en amor con su trabajo. El mayor problema son los utensilios de los vapores retenidos en el café resultante en el olor persistente en la ropa durante bastante tiempo. Que tienen necesidad de reemplazar los filtros del extractores o conseguir otros que son adecuados para este propósito. Sin duda no volveremos a comer.

very poor service not impressed with the surly waitress and the fact that we had to wait for so long to be served. Dog eared menu

Tried here twice, both times crap. Food was grim and takes forever to arrive. Upon questioning the wait I was told that it's because they also provide the food for the pub next door.If it takes you 50 minutes to make scrambled eggs for someone in your own cafe then maybe you can't handle the extra business from the pub?In the end I took a bite of my food and got a mouthful of grease and left it there. Best part was the bacon sandwich I had when I got home.

This is the 2nd time I have been at this venue - once was in the Spring when my child's school hired it for a Parent's social which was great and then I was at the venue for a 40th Birthday party. It is a fab venue, ideal for birthday's, christenings etc. My friend said that the cost was really reasonable - she paid £60 to have a door person on for the evening which was really good and kept people from using the courtyard seating area and coming into the party and then paid for the food which was just gorgeous - there were pots of Irish Stew, Thai Green Curry or Fish & Chips and they were all delicious (got to have a try of them all). There is room if not too many people to have a dance but not big enough to have a DJ there. Plenty of seating for guests and just a great social area. Would highly recommend it for a party.

Went to kings cafe for brunch with my partner, had to go up to the counter and order food myself, ignored for a few minutes by people behind the counter sat back down and went back up again, waitress had a poor attitude, waited 45 minutes for Spanish eggs and eggs benedict, Spanish eggs where grim, flooded with grease, eggs benedict was also grim, egg was undercooked and flooded in hollandaise sauce, everything was over priced, give the waitress her due, she did refund us £7 #slopforbruch

Called off at the Cheshire Tap pub which uses the Kings Cafe for its food. Sat in the lovely courtyard and just chatted. After about 40 mins the girl came out and asked if we had received our food. We said no (to be honest we hadn't noticed the passage of time). What followed was a masterpiece of customer service. They couldn't be more apologetic as the bar had forgot to pass on our order to the kitchen. Wife got a complimentary drink and we also got some free chips and bread whilst the Cafe cooked our food. When we received our food it was excellent. The triple cooked chips are to die for and the ciabatta's were excellent. Anywhere else would have been a lower star mark but it was a delight that an establishment actually apologised and salvaged the situation.

Great breakfast with a warm welcome ,we popped in last sunday and were met with a warm welcome and a great traditional breakfast set in a lovely environment .

Having just moved to Altrincham we are thrilled that upon parking our car in Regent Street car park we came upon an inviting sign for breakfast and eggs benedict to name a few at The Kings Cafe. Had the eggs benedict and my partner Spanish eggs! Superb! Love it when you can also see the chef cooking the food. Would highly recommend! I'll be back!

Been several times with children for lunch. Its an ideal place with a good choice of children's food. The adult menu is good and slightly left of centre from the run of the mill cafes.

What a gem! Came here after swimming the food was fabulous a great range of salads and unusual sandwiches. Staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Tables were a great mix of intimate for couples or spacious long tables for larger groups there were 9 of us plus 2 babies in buggies!

Great service and one of the best egg benedicts in Altrincham. Outdoor area for when the sun is shining.

Myself and colleagues eat here a lot. We have a breakfast club and always eat here. Great cooked breakfast and love the surroundings. They do a really good flat white

Organised an end of year do for 35 people. It was a lovely evening so Matt opened up the patio doors and we had Prosecco on arrival. Food was a hot bowl buffet which was excellent. Drinks were flowing all night and we were looked after by Matt and his team incredibly well. I will definitely be using the venue again. It was fantastic.

Booked Kings Court Café for a school reunion after 40 years. Matt the owner was wonderfully helpful as were the rest of the staff. The BBQ was really nice and the staff could not do enough to ensure we had a great time

A group of 13 of us had booked a table. It was a nice day so they kindly moved us outside. The food was excellent- a good range of choice. Good sized portions and all came together. Service was very efficient and I'd definitely recommend this tucked away cafe.

I am constantly on a quest to find the best Eggs Benedict in Altrincham, and Kings still holds the top spot. Their menu says their Eggs Benedict is served with 'lashings of hollandaise sauce', and that is certainly true. It's beautiful.On a whole, the restaurant serves excellent quality food, although too many experiences have been ruined by prams and screeching toddlers. Service can be slow at times, but generally when the food arrives, it was worth the wait. I would rather wait a little for good quality, freshly cooked food, rather than being served something which has obviously been defrosted and reheated in the microwave!.

55 minutes to receive a bacon and sausage sandwich! Inattentive staff who did not even appreciate our presence until I walked to the counter after being ignored for 15 minutes, then took the order incorrectly. When this was corrected the request for bacon and sausage to be well done was ignored. At least they gave us a free coffee each to recompense.

Popped in for a drink on a wet Saturday night. Not too busy and the courtyard area was nice. Plenty of cover so we sat outside. Seen pictures and I'd go back if the weather was better. It has a nice area to sit on a pleasant evening.

Visited kings court on a number of occasions, great fresh local ingredients cooked very well. Breakfast are excellent with various choices and very good sandwiches and salads too, the deli salad are speciality

Absolutely dire lunchtime experience. The Wensleydale cheese toasted bloomer with homemade chutney was in reality a slice of cheese sandwiched between overly toasted sliced brown bread with no chutney, instead a tasteless potato salad and grated cabbage (I think) in a hideous pink, gloopy sauce - both of which were inedible. Staff completely inattentive.

I ate here last Sunday in the pouring rain. Thankfully I hadn't had far to come on foot, and the rain had stopped by the time I left.I chose the Full English but with only one of each (Queen portion), forgoing mushrooms and eating extra toast instead. It was good enough to last me till evening meal. Although it was slightly lacking in taste, it was cheaper than Oxford Road. However, I felt that the orange juice was of higher quality.I'd rate both this and Oxford Road very highly and would be happy with going to either.

Disappointed with this cafe as we had heard good reviews. I had the full English for £6.50. Came out reasonably quickly but the food was lukewarm. The egg was hard and had obviously been cooked earlier and left. Others in my party fad the veggie breakfast, thus was cold as well. The waitress was surly and unhelpful. Would not eat here again.

Fresh and healthy food, good varied menu - Matt is an excellent chef who is always willing to alter his dishes to suit your preferences.

I was staying at the Travelodge in Altrincham and I went to Kings Cafe both mornings for breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it.

We visit this tucked away cafe in Altincham when shopping. It's great for brunch where you will find something a little different from the normal cafe around. If you see something in the menu that you would like to change, don't be afraid to ask the chef...he's happy to do this for you. Great for families and couples. If it's a 'fry up' to soak up a Friday night hangover then you won't be disappointed...I've seen lads tuck in to a hearty breakfast on many occasions!!!!! Prices are affordable, service is spot on and the eating out expeiece is worth it.

I have been in to kings cafe a few times now and always have a great time. The food is fantastic, specials are always great and the coffee is really good. Can't fault the service and there is always a great atmosphere. Everyone caters to any needs we have had, my friend has food allergies, but after having a chat with the chef, she was delighted with the choices she could have, as everything is made fresh! Great place. A must try!

The owner was passing through Knutsford and his behaviour was a disgrace....drunk loud and argumentative!! I witnessed him yelling and swearing at the lady in the train station and a young man. The owner is Matt Brame who just keep saying he had a cafe and loads of money......and swearing. Well due to your drunken show i will tell everyone not to visit your cafe....you should be ashamed!!!

Fresh flavours in all of our dishes ! This place is amazing ! I'll be back for a eggs benedict as the misses said it was divine ! Quirky decor and friendly staff rounded of our experience

Food is a bit pricey. Food is good. We had our breakfast here and I ordered pancakes, while my husband ordered English breakfast.

We went there for a 40th birthday party and they set up the place brilliantly with not only the DJ but also the TV for the Rugby World Cup. What was a hit with everyone was the food. Not only quality was great and the variety but the concept of serving the guests, bowls of each dish was fab. It avoided queues at usual buffets and the usual struggle with your drinks, plate etc. Also because each bowl was small you could sample each dish. Great idea

Blink and you might miss the entrance to Kings Court, but go down the alley and you'll find a nice little cafe that do great breakfast and lunches and even serve wine. I've been a few times for breakfast and lunch and sometimes I pop in for a coffee. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, the food is good and on a nice sunny day it'[s pleasant to sit out in the courtyard with a glass of red. The eggs royal is a great way to start the day.

Regularly changing their specials means I'm a regular customer! Recently had a chocolate chilli special which is gorgeous! Staff are great and always very welcoming and accommodating. Altrincham hidden gem

This place is tucked away so a lot of people I know who have lived and worked in Altrincham for a long time don't even know it's there. A great place for a weekend breakfast or a tasty lunch. A really good range of options that caters well for vegetarians. Brilliant to go if you have visitors and don't want the hassle of cooking breakfast for everyone. Always a good range of specials available, too.

Another nice lunch - eggs benedict and tuna ciabatta sitting outside followed by tea and chocolate brownie. Good food, good service, good situation, friendly and relaxing. Just the ticket.

The food was good, the wait staff were friendly. My only slight comment would be that it took a while to get our food.

Couldn't beleive how good the food was. Gorgeous setting too, wanted to chill there all day and eat. Lovely.

Hidden gem. Lovely place great all day long.Quality foodQuirky decorationGood value and friendly staff

Completely stumbled upon this after following a different sign in to Lloyd Square. Really nice place with stylish interior, good service, extremely good food and decent prices.I had a Italian panini which came with a great spinach, red cabbage & and cous cous salad and brill home cooked chips.Will definitely return and come with the family.

Lovely place to eat, we had a queen breakfast it was excellent. Nice feel for families and I'm sure would be great on a summers day with the outdoor seating.

I found this Cafe by mistake and what a find. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly. Plenty of room to relax and a great ambience. A very comprehensive menu on offer all freshly made.

When youthree year old prefers this over a fast food joint then I know I am on to a good thing. His words were ' I like the sausages mummy they are yummy' I had the vegi breakfast and wasn't disappointed - everything is so fresh. Thanks again for another good meal.

I visited the Kings Cafe for lunch with a friend. I had been once before and it was just as good if not better. We had a huge teapot filled with fresh tea (I think they use brew tea co) which was great! I opted for the steak and ale pie which was served with bubble & squeak and gravy. Decent portion size and has to be one of the best pies I've eaten in a long time. Filled with lots of succulent beef, a tasty portion of bubble and squeak and really good gravy. I'll definitely be back soon. The cakes looked good and there is a very comprehensive menu full of interesting options.

One of the best locations for a cafe in Altrincham, and the interior is well setup. But we went here for breakfast at about 10am on a Saturday a few meals we wanted either would take over an hour to get ready or weren't available at all. Also don't recommended the pomegranate smoothie.

We went for lunch and it was fantastic food, fresh, quick and tasty! Great portion size and great with the kids! So good we went back for breakfast the next day! Really yummy and felt v comfortable with taking my young children! Also as I have a wealth of intolerances I asked for different meal to that asvertised and they had no issues with doing this!

We booked a table for ten (6 adults and 4 children under the age of 5) on New Years Day. We had previously checked in advance that they would be open and double check by making a reservation over the phone only 3 days before New Years Day.However, when we arrived for brunch on New Years Day we found the place shut. As you can imagine this was very disappointing and embarrassing, especially as we had to find somewhere else open and able to serve us all.Whilst we understand that people may well change their mind about opening on a Bank Holiday, having checked only 3 days before hand and leaving contact details with them, a phone call would have been both the professional and courteous thing for them to have done. Thoroughly disappointed as we are local and regular customers - we won't be back and will be advising family and friends to avoid based on this experience!

Went for breakfast cause usual place was shut, had eggs Benedic- probably the best I've ever had. Girlfriend had a jacket spud said it was equally nice and was great value too. Will defo go again.

Seek this place out - great place to meet up for a coffee with friends, or for a meeting. Good selection of sandwiches and hot dishes. Good atmosphere with plenty of seating and an outside area as well.

Excellent breaky this morning full English, and the chef was very nice when we asked if my daughter could not have certain items but extra of the ones she does like. Good atmosphere friendly welcoming staff, and a menu I defiantly want to go back to to try other stuff out. We were pleasantly surprised and a must visit again with friends or the rest of the family.

Only recently discovered this cafe and thought i would give it a try. Had a full english breakfast, very nice quality food let down by fact it was served on a cold plate, the beans were just warm. Good service and the staff seemed nice.

A nice local eatery with a good all round feel, I had a breakfast (bacon sandwich) and it could have been better. Shredded (average quality) bacon on toast - ok, but could have been a lot better, but the coffee was nice. As I always say when in places like this, a little more quality on the ingredients to match the style would send this place onto the next level.Quirky local / cottage feel to the décor, good friendly waitress service, but the I had was pedestrian. However, what my colleagues had and what was served to others did look nice.So on this visit a very good effort.

We are regular customers to Kings court cafe since it first opened. Every meal I've ever had there has been fantastic, the choice of menu is now much greater and the price is fantastic for such quality food.I often pop in with my Mum and children and more recently my husband ( who rarely eats out unless he's going to be eating well cooked food) has started coming along to Kings court with me and he said the burger he likes is the best he has ever tasted. My father is Vegetarian and Gluten free and I remember having a chat with chef about what food would be suitable for him, we chose the frittata and my Dad was amazed at the quality of the food and the time and effort that had been put into making his meal. I myself am vegetarian and there are always lovely Vegi options available. Staff at kings court are friendly and I've always found the service to be excellent. We really enjoy our visits to Kings court cafe and long may it be successful as I consider it one of the best places to eat in Altrincham.

Quality fresh food at a great price. I was not expecting much service as per previous reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. They were really flexible when we wanted to tweak something from the menu.

What s great place, found a gem. Go visit for yourself, you are in for a treat.Chilled place for food or just a passing coffee.

We go to the Kings Café very often, we have a little girl and she absolutely loves it here. We always get a really warm welcome, very child friendly, important because just because you have kids doesn't mean that you don't want to have a life!!! The food is really good and wholesome, has a very "home made" feel to it, in a good way!!!!! Great place, very relaxed!

I've been here several times now, and I started of quite enthousiastic. But after a few visits, that has changed. The service hasn't been brilliant, apart from the last time I was there. (New girl? Haven't seen her before. Very friendly and helpful, I must say!) Most of the girls seem not to like working there at all, not smiling, grumpy faces and unfriendly. When busy, this gets even worse. It's like they can't handle too many customers. Food is average, not a big variety. Soup 'of the day' is often the same. The salad I had was not subtle, floating in dressing, just too much of everything. And then the fruit smoothies. I personally love smoothies, I often make them myself. But I don't think I will have another one here. It has been dissappointing every time I tried. They are diluted with water, they must be. Just put the price up and put proper ingredients in, or don't bother making them at all. Fruit smoothies must be thicker, and taste like the fruit you say you put in, and nothing else. I'm willing to pay a bit more for a good one. I know fruit is expensive but don't cheat on your customers!

I have been coming to this little local place about once a month since it opened. I was so pleased that it had done so well. but on recent visits, I had noticed the service had started to slide being a bit slow (which i don't mind too much) but sometimes also being offhand (which I do mind). Last time, I had to chase to place my order and once i did, my drink didn't turn up and my food was meant to be the frittata of the day, but it was a different type of frittata (red peppers) which was actually quite sweet. The change in my dish wasn't pointed out to me and when I questioned it, the waitress didn't know what she had served and came back to simply say the menu board was wrong. I would very much like this place to be successful and hope that they take heed to feedback (it looks like others have had the same experience as me) and that they will not rest on their laurels. I will give the place a break for a few months and then come back and try it. Fingers crossed it will find its way again soon.

Popped in for breakfast at 10:00am to be told they had no bacon for breakfast, waited about 20 minutes and had to ask the waitress if bacon had arrived, yes it had but hadn't bothered to come and take our order. When it finally arrived it was just ok, served on cold plates consequently goes cold quicker.SERVICE!! What service!! It actually doesn't exist and certainly needs addressing by the management, one waitress in particular looked like she wanted to be somewhere else and could not even raise a smile.On a more positive note, cafe in nice place and nice surrounding, unfortunately will not be returning as service seems to be a major problem.

We are huge fans of Kings Court Cafe however this is now the 2nd time we have had poor service & food quality. After chasing service we were told the pancakes that we wanted for the boys were not available as they had a run out of the mix (at 11.30am!). We then waited for c.30mins before our food arrived (after chasing again). The ingrediants for the clubsandwich seemed to have come straight out of the fridge, including the toasted bread, as everything was cold. Our chips didn't arrive with the order so they came late as well. This is all very disappointing as this is an excellent cafe. It appears since it's expansion to be understaffed, portions are reducing & quality of the produce has gone down hill.

Went on a Saturday, walked in first to see if they were open (all chairs on top of tables) and was told "yes". The waitress was so miserable, looked like she had been forced to work because if she had smiled I'm sure her face would have cracked! The waitress was cleaning the toilets just before she brought our food out (nice!!) The food came out, which was nice, then she continued to clean around us, what an atmosphere.... Miserable waitress, the clunking of chairs and all done with toilet cleaning hands! P.s. when you read the reviews on here, they give people free drinks for good reviews so don't be fooled!

Kings Cafe is a hidden gem. All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, all served up by lovely staff in a charming courtyard cafe with outdoor seating. As a local, it's the only place I'll go now for a proper English breakfast. And as an American, it's now my first choice for an amazing burger too. The best I've had since moving to England.

Its early friday evening in Altrincham and we are in Kings Cafe, there are couples and families trying the cafes fare. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and great staff. We settle for the frittata and free tapas!!. With Tatton beer and excellent coffee, all good value, what more do you want. We will be back..

Great little place, food is fantastic! Staff are great and welcoming! Service with a smile every time I visit.

Went with a friend, had bottle of champagne (great price) , free tapas with drink... bonus! Ordered feta salad was delicious, my friend had chickpea curry which was amazing. Very friendly service, a lovely setting and at a great price! Would definitely recommend and I will be back!

I visited the Kings cafe today for breakfast with my two children and and four other family members.The food was amazing,I had the sausage sandwich which was beautiful and my husband had the full English.He was not disappointed !!! My Nana said her scrambled eggs and salmon was the best she had eaten.we will defiantly returning.And to top off our visit, the children got to choose Easter eggs which had been hidden outside in the court yard.What a lovely Easter morning.Thank you Kings cafe !

We visited friends today and went to the Kings cafe, whilst the two of us who ordered the full breakfast were happy with the food, our friends pancakes were raw. They were sent back to be remade but they were still raw the second time. This is just not acceptable.The customer service was appalling, at no point did we receive an apology from the staff. Neither did we receive an apology when the waitress spilled our milk. In the end, we had to go and get the cloth to clean up.Needless to say we will not be returning here again! Would not recommend!

Went here with my fiancé and a couple of friends for brunch as it looked lovely from the outside and it was local to us. My fiancé ordered the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and I thought I would give them a go as well! Our drinks were brought and the waitress accidentally spilled the milk jug onto the table, no apologies were offered and no napkins brought to clean up the mess (we eventually got up and got our own) this set the tone! When our pancakes arrived my fiancé noticed that they were raw and she could even spread the batter with her knife, mine were a bit more well cooked but still quite raw. We told the waitress and got no word of an apology, just a sigh! When she finally brought them back, again there was no apology! Very very rude! Our friends both had the full English and to be fair said it was nice. Serious customer service issues!

We had the pie of the day for lunch and it was great! A really good pie is hard to find but you can get it here! Try it yourself!

Asked for a child's ham sandwich ( no ham ) opted for a tuna mayo sandwich which came over loaded with tuna and chopped up parsley on a huge piece of bread which was hard my son wouldn't touch the sandwich cos of the (green bits) staff failed to see this didn't bother once to ask if everything was ok chicken on the salad very dry & to charge £3 for a child's apple juice not child friendly at all.

World class food and great service. Quality at all levels. The attention to detail is excellent and the excellent produce was cooked to perfection..

Just popped in for a Monday bruch to cheer us up and it was super (again) speedy service and yummy food - makes is a favourite place to go in Altrincham

I had a chicken club sandwich and it was awesome. Real chicken breast and plenty of it cooked with olive oil and basil. Salad and a couple of new potato pieces thrown in. Atmosphere was good but a little quiet on a Monday afternoon, I have no doubt this place would buzz at the weekend. The lady who served us struck me like she was the manager / owner. She was polite but more than that she was friendly and fun and engaged with us and our 2 year old without in any way being intrusive, she is a natural. Service was quick too, I'd like to go back and try something else the menu looks great.

Went last week for lunch - service good but food inedible. I ordered Welsh rarebit and was served a decent piece of toast which had been cut far too thick (the centre remained doughy and cold) smothered with a surprisingly runny sauce that tasted overwhelmingly of mustard! I'd love to be able to support a local business but I don't think I'll be going back unfortunately.

I came here last week with my partner and will not be going back! How this place has got so many 5 star reviews i do not know maybe it was just a one off but i wouldn't like to try again to find out.I had a English breakfast which which was very over cooked, bacon near broke my teeth, black pudding was hard as a rock the whole thing was inedible, my partner had the beef stew which tasted questionable, beef was black??The staff where friendly and i really liked the coffee but the food was so bad.. i really don't know what else to say.

I came here on a Saturday morning for breakfast on my way from Manchester Airport to my home. I was pleased that there was a big sign advertising the restaurant on the pavement or I probably would have never found it! I had the large fried breakfast which was more than enough food and was very tasty. I was impressed with the breakfast selection and the cakes looked amazing. My only criticism is that service wasn't great - I had to go to the bar to ask to order and then to ask for and to pay for the bill.... I think perhaps more waiting staff are needed! Apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed my food and found the atmosphere relaxing.

This cafe really is a hidden gem you wouldnt try it usually as its tucked away in Kings Court but it is well worth a visit. Not only are the staff friendly and attentive amd interior quirky the food is amazing. All home cooked to a high standard using local produce, this cafe offers food of restuarant standards at cafe prices. Breakfast and the Sunday roast are my particular favorites and as they now offer evening meals too they are a super all rounder. My childten have always been made welcome and if they didnt like something items have been made specially for them to ensure they also enjoyed the meal, books and crayons are also available. I love this cafe and would suggest everyone seeks it out

I've been going since Kings opened and I have had good experiences everytime. I feel like a valued customer and believe others would feel the same. It does get busy but good food is worth the wait. The chef is proud, the comments...get more staff just won't work. Its his food and I doubt people want things cooked by someone else. Friend atmosphere. Enjoyable experience.

Great cafe in pleasant location. The food is consistently good. Had very tasty cake and coffee but would like to suggest that these lovely cakes might be even better displayed under glass or perspex covers as it did put me off a little seeing them exposed by the counter. Will be visiting again soon.

Friendly staff excellent value for money. Brilliant breakfast and scrumptious cakes. What's more you can take away too.

I've been to King's a few times now and the food, service and atmosphere is second to none...It all tastes great and personally I never go away disappointed

Our family have been on numerous occasions right from the beginning. It has been a pleasure to watch it thrive and prosper over the last year. The chef and staff have always been hospitable and attentive. If they've made a mistake with our order they have more than compensated for it. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoy visiting too. The childrens corner is a welcome distraction. The childrens menu is great- proper quality food. I'm looking forward to trying out their evening offerings in a more 'grown up' context. Overall its a great little inexpensive cafe/ restaurant which deserves to do well.

Went for breakie this morning, was busy but not mega! If you are providing the tables then know your limits! Breakfast was well over done. Chef was flapping, and to be fair we have been numerous times and it was good. At the end of the day it is not lobster Thermidor! It's just a full in English hardly rocket science! Really disappointed the staff could do with a team bonding course or something! Plenty of running around but no one seems to know what they should be doing.

We've been regulars at kings cafe since it opened and the food and service is great. We've always recommended it. Unfortunately since they extended it has become a magnet for groups of mums with lots of kids and pushchairs. I have nothing against that and can see why they would want to go there but unfortunately the atmosphere is now ruined with screaming kids. Our last three visits have been ruined by this and we've now given up and headed to other local cafés where the good is not as good but the atmosphere is more chilled!

By no means is the food awful but it isn't great! I've been there 3 times now and bagels were hard, toast was cold and the cakes/desserts were disappointing. For location and service I could have rated this higher but the food lets it down!

We have visited Kings Court on several occasions and never been disappointed. The food is always excellent and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and friendly!

Love the entire experience of this cafe it's quirky & cosy & very Northern Quarter Manchester/ trendy London caf. Free wi is a bonus but staff are friendly & food is great not your obvious cafe grub. Definite hidden gem!

I took my friend out to lunch, and after reading the reviews decided to come to Kings Cafe. We weren't disappointed! We're both vegetarian and there were plenty of choices; my friend had a pumpkin wrap and I had a Wensleydale & onion chutney bloomer, we shared some fat chips, it was all delicious. I'll be back!
