Pokusevski's in Stockport

Happened upon this fabulous cafe while in the area for work. I loved everything about it - the decor and relaxing atmosphere, staff were fab and friendly (including the lady who received a previous unfortunate review, she couldn't have been more hospitable) and the breakfast of poached eggs with mushrooms on toast was delicious. The quality of the ingredients was excellent - amazing bread! I found it a welcoming place to get some work done between appointments while enjoying a lovely breakfast and a couple of very nice flat whites! Will definitely return

Terrible! I used to adore this place when we lived in Manchester. Under new management and sadly getting it totally wrong. Waited an hour for an our full breakfast, it was partly cold, missed items, and dried out / overcooked in parts. Meat sausages were very tasty though! Waited too long to order and then for a drink to arrive too. Also over priced for the value. £84 for 4 people to have breakfast. The place felt dirty and a bit tired - the toilets were shabby and not clean! Fed back and didn’t take anything off the bill! Couldn’t believe it! Will not be returning and it’s really put me off. We were so disappointed

Food is normally good. Had shakshuka. Was overcooked. Egg was boiled not poached. Music was too loud so front of house couldn't hear my order properly. Would normally give 4 stars but being unable to cook an egg is poor. Please sand the tables down because the cleaning products are reacting with the varnish and making the tables sticky.

Nice lunch and coffee. Service was a little awkward but the sandwiches were really well done. Bit on the pricier side but didnt feel overcharged for the level of quality.

Food is mostly delicious and appears freshly prepared & artesan style. My only criticism is that the homemade guacamole has too much chilli as it burned my tongue and takes away flavour from everything else. A but pricey for breakfast, but eating out everywhere is thes days. The coffee is very good.

Food was great, cake a little dry but brownies were amazing. The service from the blonde waitress with the bee tattoo on her wrist was appalling. She was rude to a gentleman wanting a table where she told him to 'move back!' And told if there are tables outside you can sit outside! When we asked her for the bill and to pay for what each of us had, the look of disgust on her face was shocking. She said 'No we are rammed!' Then suggested we split the bill three ways. I refused this suggestion on the grounds that we hadn't all bought a cake. She then turned the tablet around and say well you add it up then, she was then told no, we don't work here. If the tone and manner wasn't shocking enough she slammed a small order pad down and proceeded to add our orders up. We paid, smiled politely and thanked her and walked out. We will not be coming back as her service was rude and yet the other ladies were fabulous and have always been fabulous.

What a fantastic little gem of a place. Food was one of the best avocado on toast I’ve eaten. Phoebe the waitress was brilliant. Can’t wait to come again.

An impromptu brunch with friends from York spoilt by the rude service from the blonde haired waitress with the bee tattoo. She was rude to a gentleman wanting a table- telling him the 'step back!' Then when we came to pay the bill she told us she couldn't split the bill as it was rammed! She then told us to split it three ways when we declined because not everyone had bought cake, She then turned the tablet around and said you work it out 😳 I replied no we don't work here. Appalling rude arrogant waitress service from here but everyone else were fabulous. She is letting down your reputation and we will not be eating in there again. Manners cost nothing and I would not expect an adult to roll their eyes and slam the pad down when she had to add up the items people had.

Lovely cafe with great food and great service. Friendly and approachable staff. Cakes are lovely too!

Excellent food, Great service and atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere unless it's really busy. It's dog friendly so you need to aware of this if it's an issue. Staff friendly, but service sometimes a little slow. Cakes and breakfasts are amazing. Not cheap but worth it.

So glad there are other places for a coffee! Cloudy, dirty tasting coffee and tbh it’s hard to swallow a dry cake let alone the £5.75 price tag for it!!!!!!!

Did enjoy the breakfast but could just have been slightly better sausage but could be just my taste and the scrambled eggs my wife had were overdone

I was there on Tuesday this week with a friend. We had to attract the attention of a waitress to place our order which was really simple. We then waited over an hour before it arrived. Pretty unsatisfactory really.

The table was dirty and sticky and we were waiting nearly an hour for our meal. The reservation was for 12.30pm and there was only breakfast menu to order from. Once we got our meal it was cold and the eggs were over cooked. I have ordered a second cup of tea which we never got. Very poor service left us disappointed..

Really great food, lovely selection- very hard to choose!! We all enjoyed the sandwiches and salads on offer, will definitely be coming back to try other options!

What a little gem! Gorgeous interior and quality food. Highly recommend

What a lovely quaint place this is .. lovely chandeliers and deco.. Very attentive staff The food came out quickly and was super tasty.. Excellent service all round…

It isn't pokusevski anymore. It's a hairdressers called That Hair Place Very good. In fact Clare used to be my hairdresser elsewhere so I've known her for a while. Excellent hairdresser and a lovely person.

Love atmosphere, very attentive staff and reasonably priced food items. Coffee was exceptional...not the normal burnt bitter taste but very pleasant. Will definately return

Once again flying visit and an excellent Eggs Benedict !!!! Lovely staff, very helpful. Relax, Bohemian atmosphere. A little gem.

We come here every Sunday, the best bacon and egg sarnie I've had in my time, but all the food on the breakfast menu is amazing! Very kind owner who has gone above and beyond to help is in the past, lovely neighbourhood staple!

Stopped in for hot chocolate which was lovely, but £5.50 for a slice of very dry cake. Not so much.

Superb brunch on Sunday at 10.00 . My daughter reserved a table on line the day before and I'm happy she did as the place was full by 10.45. I love the decor , the staff were excellent as was the breakfast menu, quality of ingredients used and the coffee. Thanks to you all and I look forward to a return visit.

We went here having seen the good reviews, but we were very disappointed. The food was cold, toast was stale, eggs were overcooked. We were also charged for large drinks despite asking for normal size. It is not good value for money

Impossible for a wheelchair user, difficult for a fold up trolley space limited. Outside ok if the weather is fine. Food good if carefully chosen, toilets downstairs which precludes the elderly amongst us. Overall for the young and trendy.

Our first visit. Large group of us went in for brunch. Nice menu. All our food was excellent. Nobody disappointed. The Service provided was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. Thank you for looking after us.

Nice atmosphere but a bit crowded

I'm leaving this place a 5 star review even if a couple of times they had a wobble.(once they forgot about my cake order as I didn't have lunch and I suppose they prioritize people who were eating more than just a carrot cake but I was there with my mum for the first time so not a good impression) That happens everywhere I suppose and it hasn't happened since. I stop by very often. The coffee is great, lovely food. Pram friendly indoor and outdoor. They do have a changing table for babies which I didn't know until they mentioned. You have to ask for it and they'll set it up for you. Lovely place one of the best in the are.

Fabulous place for breakfast/brunch with good selection and not too expensive at around £10 a head for a drink and breakfast

I used to go here lots of times in the past as it was reasonably priced. We bought one small hot drink and 2 larger ones , followed by a brownie and a piece of cake. This cost £20.80 and when queried we were told it cost £11.00 for the Bannana cake and brownie. In a cafe that is shocking and well overpriced. I was in London last week and went to a cafe and it didn’t cost as much as here. We all know it’s a cost of living crisis at the minute, but this is on another level. An average cafe with decent food , nothing else. Service was fine but please revisit your price lists.

Amazing little restaurant. I love their Tapas, cakes & coffee. Plus their weekend breakfast is yum. The quality of the food is super good. I would highly recommend this place.

Sadly very disappointed by the lack of fresh healthy food on offer here! We used to visit quite often but I’m afraid won’t be returning! Expensive & very limited choices. Asked about a salad but nothing available! Only option was Tabouleh at an added extra cost we chose filo cigars with feta & spinach these were really dry & tough, served with chips so not a healthy option & were told there was a salad with it, nothing but a small handful of red cabbage with a dressing on?! Such a shame! 😔 One waitress was really grumpy & offhand, one was very pleasant. Was also put off by Lipstick on the coffee cup when my cappuccino was served & no mention of an apology when served a replacement by the waitress with the bad attitude!

Excellent little place in Heaton Moor, best to book a table in advance gets busy, service good staff friendly. Food good. Only thing I didn't like they allow dogs in. Just a personal thing guide dogs yes but others no.

Absolutely loved my visit to Pokusevski. The food, the service and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Lovely home made tasting good. Restaurant had a lovely welcoming atmosphere, with beautiful quirky art work. I haven’t visited a polish restaurant before, so this was a treat. Would recommend visiting!

Great food but gone too expensive!

The food here is good and the cafe has lovely decor. The main issue is the subpar customer service, some of the staff are unwelcoming and give off this vibe as if customers are a hassle to them (this has been my experience during the last 2 visits).

Had breakfast here. £10 for Eggs Royle with a really small amount of salmon, £10 eggs Benedict bacon was advertised as crispy it looked as if it had been deep fried, shame really as it’s a nice place, friendly staff and a good vibe

Super place with excellent food and strong coffee, mushroom quiche particularly good today

The best place to have brunch in the area! I am never disappointed

Absolutely spot on! Good portion sizes, not rushed to eat and plenty of choice! Will definitely go again!

Expensive, shrinking portions & Zoran or Jason need to learn how to smile & not ignore people waiting outside to be served. You looked me directly in the eye and proceeded to ignore me.

Came here on Saturday morming for the first time. The decoration and atmosphere was really lovely with lots to look at. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious! Think this will be my new favourite place

I always head here whenever I'm back up in Manchester. I think I have finally made my way through the whole breakfast menu, which is all wonderful. The sandwiches are great too and the staff are always friendly, polite and efficient.

It was my first time here today and I cannot begin to say what a wonderful experience it has been. Fabulous food, catering for all food allergies/intolerances, amazing decor and kind, friendly staff. The soup is AMAZING as are the sandwiches!!! I will certainly be back 😁

Only been here for breakfast before which was lovely and a decent portion. Ordered a cheese and caramelised onion toastie with a side order of chips and received a tiny, child's size cheese toastie minus onions with a small bowl of chips (10 in total!) for £13, ridiculously overpriced and certainly won't be back for lunch!

First visit to Pokusevski..loved the food Will certainly be back again

The people in this cafe have shocking customer service skills. It's almost like a joke they're that bad. They give you attitude as soon as you walk in and make you feel bad for asking for a coffee. It's like you're a massive hassle to them and they huff around rolling their eyes. Won't be going back.

Excellent venue for lunch. Fast and attentive service. Great food and pleasant atmosphere. 5 stars

Lovely food staff great it was busy and colourful !

Love this place, always good food and a great ambience!

Well designed coffee shop, I don’t have any complaint about the food but maybe breads could be a little bit bigger and soft because we could not cut it. I want to say that I’m a flat white gourmet, i ordered flat white but instead of that i get milk and foam, coffee is important for me, flat white should has velvety consistency with coffee taste. Generally coffee is not great, my partner did not like her latte as well. Anyway thank you..

Top brekkie with proper ingredients, solid coffee and friendly staff. Handsome and comfortable decor too. Excellent start to my day.

My fav there, cakes!! Although the prices are expensive compare with other local places. Understanding life is going up, but this place beats others in the area. Service its OK, sometimes they seems to rush people to leave once they are done with food or drinks.

Lunch menu was pricey and the food was below par. Cakes were good.

Lovely food and coffee but service was really slow considering they were only half full unfortunately

Been here twice for breakfast food. The food is lovely, you can tell its very good quality. However the price is pretty steep and the portion size small. I'd definitely recommend trying pokusevski as it does taste good.

We came in for a mid afternoon pint and slice of cake. Nice craft beer and I lovely slice of cake. Easy atmosphere that was accommodating as we had a young child with us!

A great cafe with plenty of regulars. Good coffee, lovely staff, not expensive.

Fantastic coffee, decor and staff. We loved the affogatos and the brilliant sourdough. Perfect poached eggs and the most delicious choc with churros, also. My parents loved it and they're hard to please, so thanks for saving brunch!

Lovely decor. Polite and friendly staff. Coffee and food excellent. Would be 5 stars if it not for the long wait, even when the restaurant was quiet. Would certainly visit again.

Really excellent bacon sandwich and good coffee. Just a bit on the expensive side in my opinion.

Excellent food, wine and beer. Love the music. Place is amazing. Would recommend this to anyone venturing into Heaton Moor.

Nice simple menu with lots of choice without being overfaced with options! Great service, good quality food. Lots of drinks options. Great experience overall

Great atmosphere, cakes really good.

Nice restaurant /cafe but wow £5.50 for a slice of cake how do they justify that .

The soup of the day (Roasted Butternut Squash and Ginger) and the salmon lunch dishes were divine. Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff; worth a trip to Pokusevski

Beautiful place. Amazing food. Brilliant service. Zoran and Jason (owners) were so welcoming and helpful. Will definitely go again soon.

Great food, great atmosphere, lovely service. So lucky to have this restaurant in our area. Highly recommended!

This is such a cool place I had the sharing platter with my husband and a glass of wine the food was really good the staff were lovely would highly recommend

Nice atmosphere, service, and décor but food was hit and miss. We politely sent back the calamari and meatballs but we were still charged for them. Not cool….

Place is lovely and whilst food looks nice I couldn’t face paying £15 for a sandwich and sweet potato fries. Maybe I need to get with the times though.

Vegetarian choices are excellent

Cute interior. Relaxed service - thankfully wasn't in a rush, so great as wasn't overbearing. Menu quite limited. The sandwich was great, really tasty, quality ingredients. Only niggle was the size of the portion of chips. Will certainly return

Lovely little cafe, staff are very warm and friendly and they even offered to meet my gluten free dietary needs by doing the halloumi fries in a GF option! Great people!

What a lovely place to go on a summers day. Very inviting and friendly staff couldnt ask for more. Had a variety of delicious plates with our favourite the halloumi which was definately 10/10. Lovely ambience, lovely staff and decent food. Not bad at all! 🤌

Booked only the day before which wasn’t a problem for the lady on the phone, on arrival our table was set up by the garden. Both front of house staff were very nice and accommodating. I had asked for a ‘mocktail’ for my partner which is not something that was on the menu, the staff went above and beyond to create this for us. Although the menu wasn’t the exact which is shown online, there are plenty of delicious plates to choose from! Staff were chatty and friendly. We will be back.

Great food and nice atmosphere.

The restaurant itself has lovely ambiance! Absolutely gorgeous. The service was great, timely with our waiter friendly and attentive enough. I was highly disappointed when I discovered that the menu is so much more limited in the restaurant in comparison to what is available online. Seems that prices have also decreased, with quality decreased. Previously sandwiches served on Focaccia or Rye with a lovely selection of salads/ now just some salad leaves on side :-( Also could do with a better barista, milk was over frothed.

The food is good, but the portion sizes aren’t. Shakahuka should be a lot larger, and come with more bread. Likewise two small bits of pitta that comes with the hummous isn’t enough. This place could be the best local restaurant if it only upped its game a little with better service, a bit more chat from the staff and yes, larger potions.

Excellent lunch, something slightly different on offer here. Highly recommend Quick service too, considering it was busy.

I’ve been to Pokuveski’s many times in the daytime, but only a couple of times in an evening. The restaurant looked lovely, very prettily lit by lots of characterful lamps, chandeliers and fairy lights. Service was excellent, and the food - all tapas style sharing plates was all good, but as is so often the case with tapas the bill at the end seemed slightly disproportionate to the kind of meal it was.

I visited today with a friend I felt the food was very disappointing, I had the Italian sandwich and it was very dry the meat was overcooked, my friend had the spinach and feta parcels she did not enjoy, again overcooked. The chips however were...

We were looking for somewhere to enjoy coffee and cake on a weekday afternoon and stumbled across this wee gem, in the appealing village shops at Heaton Moor. The first thing that draws you in is that this is a quirky, character place with plenty...

No mask worn by waiter. Ordered grilled halloumi, pepper and pesto sandwich. Given frozen halloumi fries instead of grilled halloumi and a small quantity of pepper from a jar. Very poor quality. What on earth has happened to this place?! Chips cooked in meat oil...

The first cappuccino I ordered was awful [watery, zero foam] so I asked for another, the next one was barely any better [more hot milk than coffee and again no foam] so I left it. Took ages for our order to be taken, when the...

I loved the atmosphere of the place and have been impressed on my previous visits too, unfortunately I always feel a little let down with the food. Especially considering the price. The staff are friendly and service was good.

I’ve visited a few times for lunch, but not reviewed. My BF and I popped in for lunch recently. Firstly, it’s a really lovely friendly vibe in here. Secondly, the food is so fresh, delicious and well presented. Really good selection in the main menu,...

Booked this restaurant last minute via the telephone with a guy who was very polite, helpful and professional. This continued when we arrived, meeting all COVID guidelines. Quirky and original decor, which was great. Food was lovely, tasty and was "quality". Service throughout was always...

This was our first night out since Lockdown so I was really hoping it would be special and it was. I’ve had lunch here a few times and it’s always been great so I thought we’d give an evening a try. I’ve seen some comments...

Lovely bohemian feel to the place. Nice decor. Classic style for the H.Moor...Chorlton...Didsbury area. Good coffee...Excellent sausage sandwich. Perhaps a 4.5* review!

Out of the way on a side street but worth finding. The food was well cooked& presented. The menu has something for everyone. Confused decor...part a homage to a Polish General, part a ‘gallery’ of a Viet Cong / NVA poster art, but interesting all the same. The ginger tea is wonderful but best avoided by those watching their weight as it’s basically lots of fruit juices boiled with sugar & fresh ginger.

Having lived in Heaton Moor for a year and been three or four times, we’ve decided that Pokusevki’s is our favourite local restaurant. The atmosphere is always good and the food is spot on. Last time we had the sharing platter and a couple of...

Excellent food, great atmosphere for lunch time. Lots of choice of both hot and cold food. Efficient service.

This used to be a great delicatessen and cafe, but the fancy foods have now largely gone taking the atmosphere with it. Sad because it used to be very good.

Always good here, we went for date night this Friday, the night menu was AMAZING we had tapas octopus, squid, chicken skewers, aubergine and halloumi fries all Fantastic. Beautiful friendly staff, the coolest decor and music. If I had a award to give it would...

Pokusevski's was beautifully decorated for the Christmas period and there was a lovely atmosphere inside. Service was also very good. On this occasion - and we have eaten here before - the food was mixed, with some dishes very good (hummus with flatbreads, chicken kebab,...

I go to Pokusevski’s a lot as it is local to me and their coffee and food is really good. My husband recently organised a 40th birthday surprise there for me, we had a fantastic evening and everyone commented on how delicious the food was....
