Moose Coffee in Manchester

It was a very busy place, and the food looked good. We only went for a coffee, if I marked it on the coffee it would be a minus. I had an espresso and it really wasn't nice.

Fabulous place for breakfast/brunch. Delicious food and lovely staff!

I recently visited Moose Coffee in Manchester, and it was unfortunately disappointing. The food was bland and uninspired, with no sauces or condiments provided, which left the dishes lacking in flavor. For the price, it didn’t feel like good value — especially with an extra £1 charge just to switch my eggs from fried to scrambled. Small charges like that add up and leave a poor impression. When it came time to pay, the experience felt unnecessarily drawn out as the staff member handling the till was busy chatting with friends, which only added to the frustration. To top it off, the card machine even prompted me to leave a tip, which felt ironic given the overall experience. The only positive part of the visit was the mocha, which was genuinely enjoyable. But otherwise, it didn’t feel like the experience or quality was worth the price. If you’re looking for a satisfying breakfast in Manchester, I’d recommend trying elsewhere. Moose Coffee looks promising, but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.

Stale waffles, nasty coffee. The potato hash tasted of under boiled potatoes (with blight) rolled in rancid oil. The bacon was old and brittle.

We had breakfast yesterday in the outside seating and it was great! The food was amazing and the service was awesome, Alison was so nice! We had the best pancakes and Belgian waffles

Moose Coffee is our go to place when we visit Manchester. Lovely food, heart portions and lovely staff.

We had wanted to go to moose for a long time and chose our daughters birthday to treat her. Wow it was definitely worth the wait we all thoroughly enjoyed everything about moose. We will definitely be back

The service and atmosphere were really nice and inviting and busy, which set the scene for us looking forward to our meal. The food itself was a surprise... We are vegetarian, so that might have affected our experience a bit. The pancakes and the hot drinks (toffee nut hot chocolate and pumpkin spice latte) were good, sweet and flavourful and nice fluffy texture of the pancakes. I love potatoes in all forms...but now I'll need to say almost all forms. The potato hash was the biggest letdown; bland even with the onions and fried onions and whatever else was on it, a weird crumbly barely cooked texture. I ordered extra because I thought I'd love it and didn't even finish my first portion. We also had their version of huevos rancheros which was...better than the hash. In short, go for the sweet stuff on the menu, not the savoury.

Delicious food and excellent service as always!

Absolutely gorgeous food. However the service was lacking. We asked for drinks which had been added to the bill but never arrived. Yes it was busy but the service should still be good and be made to feel welcome.

Really enjoyed the meal and the service. The staffs were top notch and very nice and helpful. The chef did a good job with the meal. I’d defo be coming back here again🫶🏽

Had an amazing brunch at Moose Coffee York Street this week. The food was truly delicious (cooked by Minai). We had pancakes benedict & eggs benedict and it was one of the tastiest brunches ever. Our waitress Emily was amazing, very attentive even though it was super busy. Also thanks to India for seating us in the fabulous booth. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Manchester :)

The only thing they’re generous with is the length of their spoon handles. They’re shorter only than the queue. Some chutzpah to call the pot of tea ‘generous’ when it just about fills one (dirty) cup. Expect a queue to be seated and then a 30-minute wait for drinks and a further 30 minutes for your food. Food is decent. But waffles tasted store-bought. Outside atmosphere isn’t great. Water falling off the awnings occasionally and umbrellas blocking a nice sunny day. Inside looked much better. Like the name, though.

This cozy little spot is a gem for breakfast lovers. The Lula Bacon dish was absolutely delightful - perfectly cooked bacon, creamy avocado, and a perfectly poached egg. It was clear that the food was made with care and passion. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, it was a very chilly, which was a minor drawback. However, the warmth and flavor of the food more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend this place for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

Book a table or bench prepared to wait, this place is busy for a reason. The best french toast, bacon and maple syrup, I have ever had.

Tried their simple pancake and it was amazing! The coffee was great as well! Service was also super friendly as I was served by Oscar. He kept checking on me and very kind to make sure all was ok. Overall very good experience! No wonder they have been expanded to some other locations and become an infamous joint in the city! Location is also super central, a good fit for workers or tourist who stroll around the city.

We've tried to go to Moose a couple of times and failed to get in. This time we booked! It's well worth it. Great North American style breakfasts, reasonably priced and well served. Great range of choice. Really good.

Love this place! Food is always fantastic. Always make a point to come for the double Dutch pancakes! Shout-out to Oscar for brilliant service too!

We had a really delicious Sunday breakfast before catching the train home.

We had a lovely breakfast there. Great food! Despite the fact they forgot it was a special occasion (a birthday) food was great. We even bough a diner cup to take home.

Had the worst dining experience there. Waitress forgot our drink order twice during the entire dining time. It was five of us went there and she forgot our drink order for the first half hour, not even bothering give us any water, we have three young kids with us that day. So I asked her where were the drink she came again to made order but only remembered half of the order, come on, how hard was to remember add 5 drinks while for the second time I asked the same thing!!!! The food was just alright , any Cafe house in Manchester can make them. The attitude of the staff there was the most unpleasant part, we definitely won’t go back again and will tell our friends to avoid going.

Fantastic menu, food just as good with great friendly service

Had a great team breakfast, i've visited moose in liverpool before so was expecting great things and they didn't disappoint. great food, great service, and a nice level of atmosphere :)

Food was great. Service was 10/10. Absolutely a must-go

The food and service is excellent here. Our server Nico was so lovely and attentive to us, some of the best service I’ve had from anywhere and definitely one of the best brunch spots in Manchester!

I enjoyed the experience at Moose Coffee in Manchester. My server was, Emily, and she was friendly and professional. My chef was, Zoe, and she did a marvelous job preparing my Grande Bouche. I would definitely visit again!

Lovely American style brunch. The food and service were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the daily special coffee. It’s the perfect cafe for catch up with friends/ family or a cheeky date. The cafe if also pet friendly which was perfect for our little cat (he enjoyed the blueberry pancakes).

Breakfast on a sunday morning. I was lucky enough to go to New York a couple of years back and I love diners, now this does dinner food but at more realistic sizes not saying the portions are small but some of the stuff you get in America is massive I had bronx hash my wife high line my daughter waffles with chocolate spread a couple of juices and a couple of coffees (mine diner style my wife Hazelnut latte)all was good served in nice surroundings there are a couple around it's worth a visit

Served by Kelsey - she was lovely! Very friendly, swift service! Seems like she knows her stuff :). Chef today was Zoe - the food was cooked to perfection, will definitely come again!

We had a fabulous brunch at Moose, the food was amazing and they were able to squeeze in two extra chairs for us when a few extra people in our group came along which was much appreciated. I always go to Moose when in Manchester and will definitely be back next time 😊

Texans that visit Manchester to eat at American themed breakfast spot on every visit, what more can I say. Great pancakes! My wife and I do our best to visit each time and always enjoy the experience.

Came around 3:30pm after the rush and ordered the Grande Bouche. It tasted very sweet. Delicious. However I did notice the french toast didn't have the typical taste of brioche and was kind of tough to cut through. I think they substituted the brioche for regular bread but the result was still good. Will be going again as the portions are fairly generous for the price point and wait staff are very attentive.

a great date place, I am satisfied with the service and quality.

Really good variety of meals available, which are pretty unique to Moose Coffee. So much to choose from, but went for good old fashioned pancake stack with Nutella and syrup. Very tasty and filling pancakes (stack of 3). Staff friendly and attentive. Recommend.

Great pancakes, great coffee... What else is there to say!

Another great visit for brunch at Moose Coffee. Have previously been to the branch in Leeds, Manchester York street is to the same high standard of food and service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Had a wonderful experience at Moose Coffee. We were served by Emma & Zoe. Both were kind, attentive and hospitable. Food was excellent! Will come back for sure!

Food is great. Coffee is delicious. The front door that loudly bangs every time someone goes in or out is incredibly annoying. If they sit you in the booth next to the door, ask to be sat somewhere else.

First visit here, good atmosphere, food was awesome the visit was made all the better by the friendly staff especially Emma served us, her first week so she said , she's an amazing addition to the staff thank her very much and good luck with her remaining studies at Uni.

Very good but very busy. Need to book if you want a chance of getting in.

Every few years I return to Moose Coffee in Manchester and it's a reliably good time. The pancakes are always delicious and the surroundings are cosy. Shoutout to the young man who served us, who was really friendly.

Horrible never I see my life like this waffles please don’t come in. I spent £16 and I put in the bin.

Nice friendly service. Portions almost as we know them from America. Large selection, also for vegetarians. I can recommend it with a clear conscience!

Like this type of places. Everything was perfect, a lot of options for breakfast

The food wasn’t as tasteful as expected but the service was great

Make sure to book! We booked so didn’t have to queue and walked straight in and sat down. Booking is key as there’s a long queue. Portion sizes are huge and you really get your moneys worth! So well priced!! Food super fresh and tasty

Good place for breakfast (pancakes, eggs Benedict etc.) On a Sunday it is an advantage to make a reservation.

Great food, but it doesn't half get busy. Booking on the weekend is essential

This has been my favourite brunch spot in Manchester for a while however I wasn’t impressed when I last visited. I brought a friend who had never been and unfortunately there was a hair in her food when it arrived. We didn’t alert the staff as didn’t want to make a fuss but she didn’t end up eating it.

Booked online for a Saturday morning, great breakfast - amazing pancakes, a vegan open burrito one and a hash brown one. All really tasty and great portions, the atmosphere is buzzy and happy - the service is the absolute winner though - staff who are engaging and beyond helpful. We cannot wait to come back!

Amazing food & fantastic service. Thank you so much India & chef Zoe. :-)

The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, the food was fantastic. We had a great visit, thanks!

This place was AMAZING!! As an American, I can appreciate good breakfast food. And this was the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The pancakes were PERFECT. The espresso and amazing. The staff were very kind and friendly. The decor was very comfortable. And it wasn’t crowded at all. The food came out very quickly. I would highly recommend making a reservation as there was a long line outside of people waiting to get in.

I visited today with my partner. Very delicious breakfast and good price. Fast service even though there was a long waiting time to sit inside because it was a busy and rainy day. It was worth the wait. The special thank you to Amber. She was very friendly and helpful and made our visit here more special 🙂 . Also a big thank you to the lady who placed us inside and was helpful for the whole time when we were in.

The staff were horrible to us. Terrible attitude, clearly treated us differently to the other customers, but as soon as we were paying and when they talked about the tip they spoke to us much nicer (I wonder why lol).

Delicious food, considerate service (see additional comment) and friendly atmosphere.

We queued 20 mins to get a seat on a busy Sunday morning around 10.30. You can only get outdoor seats for walk-in. The menu is long with interesting varieties. The volume is massive with a reason price. It's so tasty and the service is very good. We ordered a trio Benedict eggs and a tortilla breakfast and we were so full when finished all the food. Recommend!

The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the food is always amazing!

I really fancied pancakes and this absolutely hit the spot they were so delicious. Busy wee spot with a good buzz and casual friendly vibe.

Long wait to be seated, happened to be raining and all the outdoor space was occupied. Once seated the service was excellent and the food equally. I would dine here again, it was worth the wait.

There was no hot chocolate. They said they ran out but it was 10am. Also food was missing items/ingredients

The staff was rude. Food were good but very high prices.

So, we just called at this place as it looked nice and very trendy, menu looked good! However, on arrival we where ‘greater’ more like a bailiff coming to your door. However, requested to sit out side, ‘help yourselves’, we where basically thrown menus and we went on ahead and sat outside, 14 minutes later we decided to just go. Would not reccoment at all!! Terrible terrible service!!!

Another great visit to our favourite restaurant in the town centre. Always enjoy a Manolito but was a bit disappointed as it wasn’t available (we booked a table for 1:30pm so expect they’d run out of one of the ingredients, experienced this before up at the Piccadilly Moose before). No prob, tried the New Pueblo Luna and wasn’t disappointed, it was cooked to perfection and was delicious. Harry was our host, he was really friendly and knew the menu in side out, genuinely happy to help.

In all honesty poor. I had been recommended to Moose and was looking forward to trying it. I don't routinely write bad reviews but with three years of mystery shopping under my belt for an alternative chain I know what a good business needs to look like. only 3 or 4 tables seated when we arrived. so not busy and no excuse for the length of time it took to serve us. I had baulked at the very eggy menu and asked for one to be removed from my breakfast. It took ages to arrive and it shouldn;t have done because there were hardly any customers. Front of house was attentive so the bottleneck must have been the kitchen. Had to ask where our breakfast was and point out that had a train to catch. Bacon was awful and had been pre-cooked and then not adequately reheated. Hash was gungy grey colour and luke warm. The best cooked item was the eggs I didnt really want which were perfect. When we got the usual checkback ..' are you enjoying the food'for once I opted to be v non-british and say no its not very good. Front of house knocked 10% of the bill immediately but it didnt really compensate. Paying 27.00 for rubbish is not on. Found myself eyeing up next tables granola and fruit and thinking I had wasted my money on breakfast as this looked much more appetising. Needs to do better. See there are other negative reviews which seems to imply something is going adrift.

Why is there politics on the menu? Woke

amazing food! got the chicken & waffle with syrup, asked if they could swap my cheddar for vegan cheddar (which they do elsewhere on the menu) but sadly they couldn’t (they didn’t say why). took a while to get our bill.

We didn’t book but we were able to get a table outside which was still lovely! Food and drinks came quick & breakfast was amazing. Our server Eve was so friendly, nothing was too much to ask! 10/10, so glad we stopped here

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is great but it's a popular place and fills up quickly during breakfast so get in quick if you want an indoor table. The eggs Benedict options are plentiful and you can get a mix of up to three different types of you want to sample a bunch of them!

Excellent brunch and coffee, there's a reason they are so busy. A really good range of choices on the menu, I had French toast and my daughter had pancakes. All delicious and made to perfection by Zoe. We were served by Eve who was cheerful and attentive, coming over as soon as I caught her eye. Most impressive was that the drinks and food arrived at the same time so that you can enjoy your coffee and food together. We will definitely be back. I recommend booking to make sure you can get a table.

did not try the food but the coffee is awful 😢

Mason served us and he was very kind and I loved his avocado pen 🖊️ (Jack aged 9) We had a lovely experience, the staff were so kind and engaging - they took the time to talk to my son and really make it a special experience for him. The food was amazing too…..best pancakes and eggs Benedict!!! Thank you

This cafe is in a good area and the food is somewhat decently priced. I asked whether I could swap pancakes for French toast, but they don’t let you swap options which wasn’t too much of an issue :) I did order a regular hot chocolate but got given a vegan one, which tasted very different. I asked why I had been given the vegan one as I didn’t like the taste, they said they ran out of regular but didn’t inform me beforehand which was a bit annoying and ruined my meal (considering I still had to pay for the drink).

Service was amazing staff very friendly food was lovely.

Nice place, service, food and atmosphere are excellent We ordered the Mexico Benedict, Eggs Benedict with Avocado and Scrambled Eggs and they all won The only drawback is that the line is long, but it goes on and you can book before you arrive

Had an amazing experience food was amazing try out the double Dutch. 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious food with an incredible ambience.

Served by Jess. Great service and great food. Didn’t need to book but it looked busy and you can book if needed.

Food was great and Jess was lovely!

We came to Moose coffee for breakfast this morning and it was fantastic! We had the Grande Bouche, Double Dutch and the potato hash. It was all incredible! The staff were so attentive and friendly, Jess was fab and made our experience a lovely one. Will definitely be coming back 😊

Food could have been better, poached eggs were really under done, with the white part still uncooked. Service could have been better, atmosphere was not relaxing, it was busy, cramped and very noisy, no music no atmosphere or reason to enjoy the place.

Great food, great staff, just tricky getting a table on the day, make sure you book ahead

Booked a table with my wife for 11:45am. Big Q outside for the outside seating but we had a booking so got straight in on time. Service was very quick, plenty of staff, all friendly. The food was amazing, I went for the lone star moose (meaty) and my wife went for the pancakes, both were delicious. Can't wait to go back there again.

Food was excellent and I would most definitely recommend.

Delicious food and lovely staff :)

My kids and I had pancakes. It was the most tasty I have ever eaten. They were also generous with the portion!

Was very lovely breakfast and Jess was incredible

Jess was great! Very funny and light hearted! Great experience! Highly recommend

Great place to eat the whole family loved it. My husband was sceptical at first having not eaten anywhere like this before but he's already asked if we can book again next time we are in town

Great food, friendly helpful staff.

Food was nice, server was polite but not accommodating. Requested a small swap on the menu to be told the kitchen dont like to swap things because then they have to work out cost of change but the cost difference would have been to our loss and we were happy for that. We then hears another customer ask for a swap on the menu and a different server was more than happy to do that, giving the customer the extra costs of doing so

We arrived as a group of 4, 2 adults and 2 children for our second visit here and before we had even left, we agreed another visit was needed! The food is fabulous, the staff so friendly and welcoming and the portions generous!!!!!

Fantastic menu, great food, really friendly and quick service.

Outstanding loved the food loved the service 10/10

Incredibly accommodating for our group, two adults and a toddler. Attentive to our needs and provided space to put the pram. Food was excellent for all. Even on a busy Sunday morning the atmosphere was calm and we all had a nice time.

So nice needed to wait 20 minutes outside but the pancakes where very good and my partner told me that the eggs Benedict's where delicious. Also Eve made sure we got everything we needed and was super friendly.

Delicious food, big portions, and kind service. We had Eve as our wonderful server, and Zoe to thank for the tasty breakfast!

Really disappointing, recommended to come here, poor slow service. Told lots of items not available due to delivery on a Tuesday. Pancakes were hard and chewy, had to send back and cancel. Would not recommend.

Eve was amazing with me and my friend, really friendly and kind . He is in a wheelchair and it was very accessible. Food and drinks were great thanks chef zoe!

This is quite a busy breakfast chain and you'll have to wait if you haven't booked. The hash is fried potatoes pieces, not hash browns, so just to be aware. The service we received was sub par, coffees and sides were forgotten, others were served before us. We had to ask several times for our missing order items. The service staff were friendly howver the service was extremely disorganised.Along with this the cutlery was dirty and the salt shaker was blocked. Portion sizes are good however I'd recommend a going to any other breakfast cafe before coming here again.
