Rapha Manchester in Manchester

Visited last week on the 17th of September at 11 am ish. I spoke to a lovely guy on the phone as I couldn’t find the store and he guided me in to where it was (in a small precinct behind a row of shops) I was impressed he was great and wanted to buy my husband a present as I was in Manchester for a couple of days. Totally different experience when I got in there, I asked a man behind the counter could I have this top in a size small, and he said yes I’ll go and get you it. He then said to a man looking at some T-shirts “is there anything you like there Rodger?” He replied yes can I have this T-shirt in a large he said I’ll get you one too and off he went. When he came back after about five minutes he totally ignored me and started chatting to the Roger gentleman and a man that was trying some clothes on in the waiting room and was putting the T Shirt through the till for him. This went on for awhile and I just felt Totally ridiculous because I was just stood there like a spare part, especially because I was in there first. He was putting the gentleman’s T-shirt through and didn’t acknowledge me at all and I was waiting quite a while so I just thought get lost I’ll order it online which I have done. It was actually worth the £5 extra just to get out of the store. Not good really because your market leaders with an amazing product. I’ll just stick to online thank you

lugar limpio escondido en el corazón de Manchester. la comida superó las expectativas y el personal fue muy educado y amable

Gran lugar para café y té. Me senté y me relajé después de un día de compras. Justo lo que necesitaba ????

Qué gran concepto es este. Situado en una tienda fantástica, el ambiente es realmente bueno. Conocí a mi amigo aquí para almorzar, y realmente no sabía qué esperar. Eché un vistazo al sitio web y me gustó lo que vi. Tiene un tema bastante "genial" al respecto. Ya sabes. Más o menos, 'este es el club de ciclismo, ven y únete a nosotros'. De todos modos, entramos por las escaleras en un área de bar fresca. El personal que servía era muy servicial, muy relajado y relajado, y ambos fuimos a comer pan tostado con queso de cabra y champiñones. Obviamente sirven cafés y una pequeña selección de refrescos. Fui por el blanco plano obligatorio, y mi amigo fue por la limonada rosa. Nos trajeron las bebidas donde nos sentamos, seguidas poco después por las tostadas. Fueron servidos con una ensalada ligera en un buen aderezo balsámico. No me puedo quejar, fue muy agradable. Sobre la base de que mi compañero pagó el almuerzo, compré el postre y fui por un brownie de caramelo salado casero que fue genial. Un toque enfermizo después de un tiempo, pero no estoy seguro de si eso es solo porque me estoy haciendo viejo. Volveré, absolutamente. ¿Te animo a ir? Sí. Y eche un vistazo a la tienda cuando lo haga, si le gusta ese tipo de equipo. Es genial, pero tiene una sensación de 'club de ciclistas fanáticos del fitness', lo cual no es una crítica, es muy raro. Me gusta.

Tropezé con Rapha y me alegré de haberlo hecho. La marca es de alta calidad para el kit de ciclismo y fue una agradable sorpresa encontrar un café allí. Un equipo amable y muy buen café y una tarta bastante agradable.

I like my coffee surrounded by bikes, cycling broadcasts, vintage posters and good vibe. This has it all. Highly recommended!

Sometimes I forget about this wee gem! Fantastic coffee, lovely staff.....homemade soup with finest pollen bread and delicious cakes! Small but good menu. I need to visit more often as cool little cafe!

Anywhere that sells pollen bread and cakes is quality and had been meaning to come here for some time but kept forgetting about it! Simple nice brunch menu in a light contempary space! Brunch was excellent but coffee not amazing. Most cycle cafes provide strong punchy coffee however my soya cappuccino bit weak. I will definitely come back though as reasonably priced and nice staff. Would recommend and bread from pollen is best sourdough you will find

Well-located in Central Manchester. Beautiful lay out of cycling-related memorabilia and Giro D'Italia scenes playing in the background. Excellent coffee with friendly service. Rapha Clubhouse shop and mechanic also on site. Good secure cycle storage available.

On a tour of all the bike shops in Manchester found the rapha cafe. There's a work shop down stairs and little coffee shop up stairs. Good range of coffee, tea and cold drinks. Small but good menu offering hot toasties. Little shop at the back where you can loose any cycle nut for half an hour. Clean, bright and staff friendly.

What's not to like? Great cafe, excellent coffee and freshly made sandwiches to drool over. As a cyclist and RCC member I may be biased in favour but when meeting non-cycling friends in Manchester I invariably take them to Rapha and they have all been suitably impressed with the place. Doors usually open earlier than 10.00 when club members are gathering for a ride at the weekend but for general public everything kicks off at 10.00...

Decided to join Rapha CC after wearing the quality garments for the last 4 years. My wife and I had a delcious breakfast and coffee whilst watching the London marathon and relaxing amonst several riders drying off from the rain. I was then served by Mark in the store, his knowledge understanding and enthusiasm of everything Rapha was truly brilliant. After spending over an hour with me I purchased everything i needed to get me branded to perfection. Mark is a fantastic asset to Rapha and the Manchester Store and I from now on I will make the trip as service like this is such a rare thing in an age of internet shopping. He even made trip to my home to hand deliver the Manchester Bee Badge and other RCC goodies

Great place - it’s up some stairs at the end of an alley... super friendly staff, cool atmosphere (all v cycling), excellent coffee and chocolate cake - what’s not to like?! We’ll be back...

Even if you’re not a cycling fanatic (the guy I met there is), this is a great spot to grab a coffee. Super-friendly staff, great coffee and a relaxing setting.

Nicely set out bike cafe and a great place if you are in need of a proper flat white coffee. Lots of great memorabilia on tables and walls creates a good atmosphere. There is also plenty of Merchandise to choose from although best to look when sales are on.

Called in as King Street Festival was being setup. Cafe is on the first floor and we sat overlooking King Street. Double espresso was perfect and the staff were really friendly. Great coffee shop and great views over King Street. Highly recommended.

Wanted to visit this cafe for a while. Saw the A board out on King Street on a Sunday morning at 9am. Followed the arrow to another A board sign on the other side of the passage. Followed that arrow to an open door, walked...

Great stuff, cheap coffee and a gold mine if you love fancy bike apparel. Also quite nice that the cafe is on the second floor so you can sit by the window and look down on the busy street.

This is a brilliant brand with a passion for coffee. Every flat white I have had from this place has been spot on. Very trendy, yet comfortable seating and overall look of the place. Will be sure to keep visiting. The clothing range is also...
