Nerd in Trafford

Had a lively black Americano. Food looked interesting and cheap!

Finally a place where you can get affordable, authentic Chinese food in Altrincham. Service was very friendly and good too. Also noticed that the owner was happy for non-customers to use their toilets, which is always a plus point.

Delicious, authentic Chinese. So much better than classic Chinese takeaway!

Really enjoyed the classic and retro games. Staff really friendly. Nice and clean well maintained all areas . Fresh food maybe have to wait a bit but we'll worth the wait x

Brilliant concept and lovely place but the menu is super pricey and has a very limited kids’ menu. Board game selection is smaller than I’d hoped.

Good spot in Altrincham to have a chill out from the shopping. Took my partner here and played some jenga - we are both students so it was free which was good. We ordered a chai latte and a coffee - both were nice! Would come again!

Great people, Great Prices, Great food and coffee

Friendly cafe ,where you can play board games

The salad was spectacular and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. I will definitely be making another visit

Fantastic place. Lovely food, great staff, healthy choices. Vegan options too. And the coffee is great. Would recommend.

Brought the kids along to play some board games and have a spot of lunch. Staff were super friendly, lunch was spot on and kids loved the choice of games. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely love this cafe! Has the most amazing atmosphere whether ur visiting by yourself or with friends. The acai bowls are to die for and the coffee is on par too!! The staff are delightful and i loved their recommendations. Definitely my new favourite brunch spot.

Came in on a Sunday and the service was exceptional! I had an iced Chai Latte and it was one of the best i have ever had. The staff were extremely friendly and i wish i could have tipped them more. Am definitely going to be visiting again very soon. Keep up the good work! 💓

Hidden gem tucked away by the station in Altrincham. Staff were so lovely and very helpful. They recommended the nutella cookies and cream hot chocolate which was delicious and I also enjoyed a pesto parmesan bowl. Didn’t try the board games on this visit but I will definitely be back with friends. Would definitely recommend 👍

Fantastic concept, great food and the staff made me feel very welcome.

I recently went into nerd for a different work environment and the atmosphere was perfect. The staff were friendly and kindly recommended the salmon sushi bowl. Definitely my new first choice for cafés in the area!

Sooooo slow.... the staff don't seem to have a clue... they start one bowl.... then move on to the next without finishing.... it took me 45 mins to get a bowl of salad.... and all I can here is them complaining.

Nice place, nice staff and a decent selection of food. My biggest gripe is the price, which is expensive. I paid £7.30 for a slice of cake and a coffee which didn’t feel like good value even at Altrincham prices. 👎

Been few times now to play games with little.ones, great selection, everyone super friendly, a group of us used down stairs to practice baby signing we had instruments and was no hassle, the avocado on toast super tasty too 😋

Ordered from here a few times. Food usually ok, however often I order sourdough bread and it does not arrive. Ordered two caramel frappes, one did not arrive and the other was curdled and undrinkable.

A brilliant cafe, delicious coffee, AMAZING chilli and the best most kind staff. I really recommend this place

My friend invited me for a light lunch and coffee at Nerd, I am completely blown away by the tasty and fresh food, the service is nice and professional. Thank you guys see you very soon. Anet

Nice little cafe tucked by the station. Bubbly and friendly staff. I totally recommend the Nutella hot chocolate. Can't wait to come back

Fabulous place to meet downstairs for a group work chat. Emma, the owner, was lovely and made us all really welcome. The coffee was excellent and the cakes delicious - what more could you want! Would highly recommend it and we'll definitely be back!

Delicious salad/buddah bowls 😍 I had the salmon sushi bowl and it was so nutritious, delicious and filling, service was great too. I will definitely visit again!

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Nice coffee and banana 🎂

Really enjoyed my time there with my 5 year old. Loads of age appropriate games and a lovely kids menu. Servers were attentive and kind. Got some good ideas for games which I wouldn’t have otherwise found!!

Good service ,nice coffee , highly recommended 👌🏻 👍

Excellent coffee, super cheery staff and better yet you get a jelly baby served with your coffee!

Nicest freshest food always on time top quality well cooked and the drinks are fresh and lovely. New favourite place and staff can’t recommend highly enough!!!!

Brought the kids in to entertain them for a bit with the games. Kids had some smoothies which they loved, and I had an excellent coffee and too much cake! Was very busy but staff were really friendly and managed to keep on top of the many orders flying at them. Most importantly, my kids were engrossed in their gaming, and not talking into my ears incessantly, or arguing, so I got an hour's peace! Excellent little place with a nice vibe.

We attended the Silent Disco, which was fantastic, lots of extra's cookies and face painting, a really friendly atmosphere, and the children asked to go back to play the games, we'll definitely return

The most beautiful portobello mushroom salad and I was able to add a couple of extras too! Wonderful customer service and a very relaxing sofa to sit and watch the world go by with a latte too. Will be making it a regular again now it’s getting towards summer and I adore a good salad bowl with lots of nutritional value. Thank you 🙏

Beautiful cafe, really friendly service 😊 lovely selection of healthy foods and the coffee is fab

Great and unique and definitely my fave place for ‘coffee and a cake’ - but it doesn’t stop there. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, staff are so friendly and helpful, the food was really good and the coffee amazing. Will definitely visit again.

Was quiet, so not a lot of atmosphere, but sure, if it was busy, it would be good. Coffee was really nice , not normally a coffee lover but it was very nice. Service excellent.

Went for lunch, food & drinks were amazing and staff are lovely

Love this place. Really nice healthy tasty food and friendly atmosphere. Great coffee too.

Amazing food, great games and cosy atmosphere

Lovely food, great people, nice place.

Fantastic place to visit with children. Very friendly staff, delicious healthy food, plus an excellent selection of games for all ages. A regular weekend stop for us.

Nerd has become part of our family's weekly routine. We're so glad to have it on our doorstep! The owners and staff are really friendly and helpful, the selection of games is amazing and we're slowly trying to work our way through them all!

Great place, for kids and adults gaming. I also go here as a co-working space, as it's quiet downstairs in the day, they have good power points (including USB charging). Coffee is good and their salads great. Staff friendly and approachable - one spent 5-10 mins explaining a game to my three year old and she was delighted

Great healthy food. The bowls are a good mix of nutrients. Always fresh. Very relaxing place to sit in.

Fantastic place. Great coffee, very cosy and chilled atmosphere.

Iced latte in a jam jar! What’s not to love about that! 😊 Great place, very unique, lovely polite, enthusiastic staff!

Absolutely smashing place, staff were amazing too. A young lady called Aliyah served me and was so friendly and really helpful with suggestions. Thanks guys

I decided to try a new cafe and found nerds. The food was amazing I recommend the salmon and avocado salad, the coffees where great and the customer service was perfect. Definitely my new favourite place. They are animal friendly and offer student discount. They have vegetarian and vegan options available also

I attended the board gaming event at Nerd yesterday and had a fab time. Great company, great food and lovely atmosphere. It was so lovely to meet new people and to get out of my comfort zone for a while, without feeling self-conscious. I highly recommend Nerd to anyone who has even a passing interest in giving board gaming a go. You'll be met by genuinely passionate people, friendliness and a lot of memorable fun. Thanks Jamie and see you again soon!

I went to the games night on 30/12/22. Our 2 game hosts were great company. We had an excellent teacher host of games. The games were well chosen and great fun. The good was very nice. The atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended

The owners of Nerd are lovely and welcoming people and the staff are always helpful - nothing seems to be too much trouble for this lot! Food is fresh and tasty, the selection of soft drinks is unusual and appetising (Soda Folk - I approve!), the smoothies are packed with flavour and the cakes are to die for. Gaming selection is varied with stuff to play for all abilities. There's low-weight party games sat next to casual games sharing shelf space with classics and modern must-haves. Their kids game shelf upstairs has an amazing selection of stuff for younger gamers or family groups, too. We'll be sure to visit Nerd more often - they have a few games we don't have in our own collection and a couple of set-pieces that we'll enjoy getting use out of but have no space at home to own (the new Heroquest and Klask being two that come to mind. Seriously, try Klask - it's hilarious fun). Nerd have organised game nights and organised Role playing dates. If you're looking for a place to get fed and play games, Nerd could be the place for you.

Had a great time at Nerd Cafe’s inaugural Ultimate Game Night! We went as a group of two families - 4 in each with children ranging from 13 to 17. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and knocked up a last minute alternative meal with a smile. Our host, Luc, was brilliant at introducing us to a range of different games and it was a great way to find out what we liked and what we weren’t sure about. We will definitely go again!

I ordered a butternut squash soup which sounded delicious and was then disappointed to seeing the girls in the cafe open up a tesco tin soup to heat up for my meal, this was really dissapointing, I tried the soup and it was bland and had to send it back, unfortunately, didn't get offered a refund. The advertisement of the food makes everything sound made from scratch and healthy/fresh so it was very sad to receive a tin of tesco soup heated up, and felt unhappy that I paid over £6 for tinned soup from tesco. It also came with stale sourdough bread, and I had to eat this whilst my friend had ana amazing portobello Buddha bowl which looked fresh and healthy so this was very sad experience as I love my food:(

A great place to spend quality time with my children well away from screens! Nerd has a huge variety of board games and staff were on hand to help us choose and get to grips with the rules. The food is healthy and tasty with a good range of options. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food and super friendly and helpful staff and Great prices too. Overall super relaxed atmosphere with something for everyone and endless fun board games!

Really friendly staff! Such a great concept. Explained things really well. Haven't done 5 because it was a passing visit. I'll definitely be back :)

We had such a good time and will definitely be back. Feel lucky to have this place in our town.

What an absolute gem of a place! Beautiful, fresh healthy food, amazing cakes, great coffee and over 200 board games! We went with our 12 year old and spent ages playing games whilst eating lunch and drinking coffee. The owners were fab and showed us how to play some of the games - introduced us to new games too! Brilliant! Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend for families and grown ups alike!

Tried it for the first time not my vibe food took too long to come out even though it was a microwave soup. The staff were friendly. Not worth the amount i paid. 😝

Absolutely love the coffee in Nerd and you get a jelly baby with them too! The salad bowls are to die for and the staff are extremely pleasant too.

Aliyaa is so slay whats her number x

Amazing food, drinks and service. Portions sizes were so generous too! Definitely will be coming back

Great salads and coffee in a chill and comfortable setting. Thanks so much!

This a fantastic place - great food and drinks (we had lovely coffees, hot chocolate, cakes and pastries) and a brilliant selection of excellent quality games to play. The cafe is modern with lots of plants and exposed brickwork. The lunch menu looked very inviting - we will definitely be returning when we are next in the area.

Really nice staff and really pretty environment

Absolutely fantastic place! Really friendly staff, and great food! The drinks are really good too. I would definitely recommend this little spot to anyone!

A friend and I went to Nerd for the Friday board game mixer. Jamie was very welcoming as soon as my friend and I entered the café,. I had some concerns as to how easy it would be to join other attendees to play some games. I needn’t have worried. Luke was on hand to act as a facilitator putting together a group of us and taking us through the rules of the games so we could continue playing by ourselves. His suggestions as to which games to play given our numbers and time available were spot on. We had a great time and I will definitely go back. Next time I will forgo eating my tea at home and eat at Nerd.

Great space for co-working. Plenty of space to get around a table for meetings. Good food and coffee too

Love this place. Wish I lived closer so I could go more often. X

The best healthy food in Altrincham. Absolutely love Nerd and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Thanks Jamie and Emma for preparing me my bespoke breakfast

Fantastic food, the Acai berry bowl is delicious I highly recommend definitely the best around 😋 the staff are extremely welcoming 🙂

The best latte I have ever had (and I’ve had a few!). Lovely friendly venue that have superb warm welcoming staff, great games and are really working with the local community. Park in Tesco’s and go and unwind in a really special place.

Would never eat here again. More than anything it’s dirty & the food is rank. Gross

First time visiting Cafe Nerd and it certainly won't be our last. We actually spent the day working here (highly recommended co working space in Alty centre) service was fab and the salad bowls were delicious and a great sized portion.

Had a great time at this wonderful board game cafe with healthy food, comfy seats and a good selection of popular board games to play.

Great coffee but even better cakes. María is incredibly friendly and welcoming and her carrot cake is amazing! Highly recommend her bakes.

Great coffee, kids love the Hot Chocolate and the staff are great! Well worth a visit.

Came here with my friend who lives locally and had a great time playing boardgames downstairs. The coffee and cakes were great and the owners and staff were really friendly!

Really enjoyed a coffee, dairy free babycino and some board games with my 6 year old. Lovely management who not only made a great mocha but helped us set up a more elaborate game and was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
