Visited Rhode Island Coffee as I do on a regular basis. As per normal, the coffee, pastries, and service were first class. The staff are always very welcoming and provide a great service. One of the best coffee shops in Altrincham. Keep up the good work.

We visiting for a drink when out and around shopping. The staff were friendly and service was very quick. Good choice of food, drinks and cakes. Prices were reasonable and the seating area was clean and tidy. They also have a book exchange for adults and children. We enjoyed our drinks and cakes and will be visiting again soon.

Great coffee with the biggest choice of syrups I've seen in any coffee shop. Staff are friendly and helpful. I love the book shelves that I can grab a book from if I'm alone there. You can also swap a book with one of yours if you'd like to take one home. Nice touch! This is definitely my favourite place to go to when I need a break from shopping.

used to love this place. found the atmosphere a little dull. Felt rushed at the counter. ordered a toasted tea cake which was ok not the best. sign said it could have jam with it but wasn't offered. Quite a few small bothersome flies at my corner table, so I moved.

The coffee shop is very well laid out and the manager Mr Nasser is very good and professional. However , the younger staff member Matthew I think kept calling me “mate” which I informed him I did not like , he apologised and I think realized his mistake . I left feeling fine and will revisit just needs staff improvement.

Liked the atmosphere here. Pleasant staff and lots of comfy seating. I thought the choice of cakes and sweet stuff was better here than the big chains. This is part of a small chain of coffee shops based in the North West and they have their own loyalty scheme. Coffee good too. Convenient location on the main drag.

Its a nice trendy cafe. Pleasant atmosphere. Offers a variety of coffees, teas and hot chocolate except today in the afternoon they had ran out of hot chocolate. A busy time being Christmas but that should be taken into account. They offer hot and cold sandwiches and a variety of pastries and cakes.

My best friend and I, decided to try out Rhode Island Coffee at our recent visit to Altrincham instead of going to one of the big coffee shops. We were not disappointed with the independant. We were greeted by smiles all around from the team behind the counter. The shop was clean, inviting and offered a warm atmosphere. The coffee was hot, served quickly with a delicious cake. The cost was competitive compared to the other coffee outlets in the town. The coffee servers came to the table to enquire if we wanted another coffee, and asked us to complete the questionares. My friend and I were happy to oblige as good service needs to be rewarded. We will be back when next in Altrincham. Looking forward to sitting outside and enjoying a sandwich and perhaps another cake!

We love Rhode Island. On the whole I'd give it 5 stars but today was disappointed in the Mozzarella and Tomato panini. It had the tiniest bit of mozzarella. Mainly tomato. Couldn't taste the tiny bit of mozzarella that was there. Wish firms would give value for money and not cut back on ingredients. Will keep going to Rhode Island but won't have this panini.

Queued for 10 minutes to get served because of so few staff. After another post ordering 10 minutes, I asked the person making the coffee if she had mine in train as others after me had been served. She snapped that she was going as fast as she could. Waited another 10 minutes and no sign so I told them that I couldn’t wait any more and left. Simply awful experience

Over the years we’ve visited many, if not all coffee shops in the Altrincham area. Rhode Island coffee shop in Altrincham is by far our favourite for many different reasons. No matter what time of day, or how busy it is the staff always treat you as if you’re the only customer in the shop. Today I was served by Georgia, she went above and beyond with our order ensuring my 9 year old daughters hot chocolate was made with care and the temperature was also taken into consideration. The atmosphere is always happy and friendly, which has a ripple effect onto the customers. The food is also delicious and even if there’s a long queue it’s made efficiently and we receive it in good time. I’ve genuinely nothing negative to say about this coffee shop, we love spending time there and always walk out with a smile on our faces! I would like to commend all of the staff for the amazing job they do, and if you’ve not been it’s most definitely worth a visit!! :)

Probably didn’t catch this place at the best time. The till was broken so they were only accepting cash payments which seemed to cause the staff some stress. We had a couple of sandwiches and drinks. which were quite nice. The place was busy and the service was a bit distracted because of the till issue. Overall, there are probably better places to eat in Altrincham but this is reasonably good.

Soup from the cold cabinet in a supermarket (we saw it in its tub). On the side was a slice of packet brown bread. The soup had been micro's but not stirred as one of the bowls was mainly liquid, and the other was the soup's main ingredients. The soup was bland and the bread unappealing. Lesson learned that soup of the day does not mean that it's been made fresh on the premises. Unfortunately, we paid too much for what it was. We visited on a Sunday but won't go back.

Rhode Island has the best coffee in the world. I’ve been a customer at this coffeehouse for many years now. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Especially Agata the manager, she is so kind and has the best customer service. It’s always nice to see the friendly faces of the staff: Dec, Chantelle, Zeeshan, Dom, Alex and Spencer. The coffee tastes incredible and I go multiple times a day for that great tasting coffee. Try the salted caramel slices they are delicious. There are many coffee shops in Altrincham but they are inferior, as their coffee tastes bland and they have horrible customer service compared to Rhode. If your in Altrincham and want to unwind with a refreshing drink, Rhode Island is the place to go.

I usually like Rhode Island coffee shop in Oldham where I go regularly. On arriving at the Altrincham branch today (12 Jan) I sat down and I was about to go and place my order at the till when I saw a waitress come over to write down the order of two girls sitting at the table near me. I asked her if I should order at the till or if they would come and take my order, because usually in Oldham we order at the till. She said “oh no, here we always come and take your order”. I expressed my surprise and went to sit back down to wait. After a few mins she came back and said “we are ready to take your order” and pointed for me to go to the till. I said I thought she was going to come and take my order and she said no. When I arrived at the till she served me with a very unfriendly manner and when I asked her why she took the other girls’ order at the table she didn’t answer but kept repeating “Can I take your order?” I asked her “do you understand what I’m asking you? I’m confused why you took those girls’ orders at their table”. She said “yes I understand. That’s a personal matter”. There was a guy making the coffee and I should stress that he was extra friendly and I think he could sense that I felt offended because of the rude attitude of the woman so after she had gone he told me to sit down and he would bring my drink over to me. I think it was a misunderstanding, but even so I think the member of staff in question could have communicated in a much friendlier manner. One more disappointing thing is that there was no chocolate powder to sprinkle on top of my coffee. For £3.75 I would expect attention to those little details. I hate to complain because I love Rhode Island in general but this experience today makes me hesitate to go back to the Altrincham branch.

We hadn't been to Altrincham for many (20) years but were not disappointed today. The weather was cold with a biting breeze, but we were appropriately dressed. The Stamford Quarter is pedestrianised & offers a huge variety of both individual & national businesses. We found bargains at every turn & returned to the cheap multi-storey car park weighed down with our bags. As for Rhode Island Coffee, it was a welcome break from shopping. The coffee was good & strong & the cakes superb. Perhaps, in our 70's, to be greeted with "Hi pal" grated a little, especially as it has taken us some years to become accustomed to being addressed as "Guys". My wife particularly objects. Try any shop in France if you want a genuine, polite greeting.

When it comes to Coffee I can be bit fussy, so heard many recommendations from friends and family for Rhode Island coffee shop in Altrincham, decided to pay a visit today with family. The moment I entered in, I find myself in a very busy coffee shop, stand in queue for a bit and then got served by this lovely lady name Agata, I can say without any doubts or second thoughts I have never received such pleasant service before specially when it is busy and stressful for coffee shop staff to please all the customers, I been greeted with smile, gratitude and respect beside my complicated order for whole family Agata did not showed any frustration or impatience at any point, had to alter my order few times, each time Agata will comply with a smile and holder a great conversation. Once my coffee and food was ready, I encountered another pleasant surprise of beautiful latte art and perfectly made coffee. Ahh my new the Most Favourite coffee shop of all time!!!

Been going to Rhode Island coffee for some time now. The staff was always brilliant, friendly and going the extra mile to provide an excellent and quality service. A special mention to the manager Naomi that in the first time that I went to Rhode Island her greeting made me feel at home. The staff follow her foot steps in a way of friendliness and welcoming everyone, making this place not just a coffee shop but a place that you feel conformable to be in and that you wanna go to. Food and the coffee is great. If you love a good coffee this is the place to be.

Not local to the area or the store, just visiting Altrincham to see friends. We decided to get a coffee after a look around the markets. I can only say that the customer service was excellant in consideration of how busy the store was. Yes there was a little wait but that's normal at lunch time. The speed and efficiency of the staff was on par with any other of the stores that are in town (and there's many). I can only congratulate the manager for running the store so well and making it such a friendly and chilled out shop.

Went yesterday with a friend on a day trip. I'm visiting from The Netherlands, as an ex-pat. Asked for honey for my tea and a member of staff with brown hair in a bun retorted immediately with what I can only describe as a shockingly mocking and sarcastic tone in an affected camp voice. She proceeded to list all the items which were available but I declined them all. If only her attitude was a little less defensive and hostile, I may have accepted her offer of Maple Syrup in my Mint Tea! Proceeded to ask for the restroom later, to which she dismissively responded. In my final attempt to interact with her, to clear what I might have considered a mis-interpretation of her communication style, I was left with the firm conclusion that she was just hostile. The rest of the staff did not do better either. They're either not paid very well or Britain First types. The only thing that saved the experience was the tea. Stay away if you are a "foreigner"!!

I'm not a habitual reviewer, but wanted to let the management know about my experience today. We always walk past the large chain coffee shops when going for a treat in Altrincham, and Rhode Island is usually our choice of location. Today my wife and I went in for a panini to share, some cake and coffee. The shop was practically empty as we paid, the serving girl placed our panini under the grill before making our coffee and serving the cake - before starting to chat to a colleague who appeared as we paid. We sat with our coffee and cake (as you dont eat your desert before your sandwich in our neck of the woods) waiting for our sandwich. After 10 minutes (half the coffee now gone) I asked whether it was ready. The girl who served us was asked (as now she was working the coffee machine) and we were told that it had been left under the toaster too long and forgot about so we couldn't eat it. The other girl who served us asked for another choice to grill. I dont think its too petty to say that the one we had chosen was the last one, which we couldnt have and so had to choose another. Our coffee was gone by the time we finally got our sandwich and the whole experience has marred our feelings towards what was our favourite coffee shop. To be clear. The girls who we spoke to were pleasant, and I didnt want to cause a scene in the shop. I'm a person who chooses to simply go somewhere else if I'm not happy. When you don't have treats often you expect them to hit the spot when you decide to push the boat out, but the service on this occasion somewhat spoilt what should have been a simple toasting of a panini to compliment our coffee and cake purchases. As usual the coffee, cake and panini were delicious, but in my opinion the service is as important as the products you choose to buy.

Lovely coffee shop in the centre of Altrincham always serves a good cup of coffee/tea and offers a tasty selection of cakes and sandwiches. The Staff are friendly and the service is quick with a cheery thanks and goodbye when you leave. The only improvement which could be made is maybe a lick of paint as it’s looking a bit dark inside. However if the weather permits & you want to sit outside there are nice tables and an awning & heaters.

The ideal place to get an excellent coffee of your choice with a smile from the staff. If your peckish the food is good too. I also swap my books there too.

I’ve visited three times now and I’m impressed every time. Strong and hot coffee, delicious and hot panini, super friendly and efficient service. Some thoughtful extras too (local charity cards, lots of books to read and locally sourced milk). Definitely worth a visit.

A cozy cafe with a wide variety of snacks and drinks. The service a little slow and quite expensive £1.85 for a crumpet . Does have wifi.

Cute little cafe on the high street! More seating than costa down the road but I went with my baby and found it hard to manoeuvre anywhere with my pushchair and found I could only sit in certain places due to not being able to access other tables with a pram! It's very busy which is great for them but there have been a few times when I have walked straight back out again because of the crammed tables and being unable to sit comfortably with a baby!

After an excellent visit to a local orthodontist last Friday, the heavens opened as we meandered along George Street under a randomly picked canopy. I asked my grandaughter if she'd like to sample a drink and/or cake within the canpied establishment and she was inside like a flash!

Cálida bienvenida en una cafetería local. como esta rama ya que tiene libros a lo largo de pared para hojear y tazas para la venta en el resto de paredes. Fuimos para una rápida charla con mi hermano mientras compras.

Este es mi favorito de café en Altrincham - consistentemente buen café y tés variados, una variedad de pasteles de alta calidad y platos sabrosos, personal amable y servicial, y un intercambio de libros. Superar eso!

Good coffee shop as chain's goAlways good coffee and cakes but i've given a Lower level review as i can see standard's slipping here and staffing sometimes irregularThey have shrunk down the size of the toast since last year ( these things matter but I'm sure the owners don't think you'll notice).

Haven't been visited the cafe over a year, glad to find that it is able to maintain its quality of food and coffee, as well as serviceLocated in the Altrincham town centre. Crowded during weekend. Table arrangement is bit crowded and not well-organized. However it's bookstore-design gives a comfy and cozy feelings.Staff is cheerful, efficient and helpful. An ideal place to hangout with friends...

This is a great place for coffee and a sandwich with fantastic cakes and delightful staff. There's a book area for people to choose a book and some newspapers to read - but why oh why does a trendy coffee shop packed with lovely customers choose to provide the Daily Mail??? And the Telegraph!! Surely there are some Guardian readers in Altrincham!! Please stop funding hate by buying the Daily Mail and then I would REALLY enjoy your coffee shop!!

Booked for a family 60th Birthday. The birthday girl was in an electric wheelchair. The staff did everything possible to make it a memorable day. We had afternoon tea and the food was fresh and delicious. There was so much food we were given boxes to take the extra home with us. I would definitely go here again. The atmosphere was great.

We come pretty much every Thursday for our day off for some quick tea. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, the older gent is always polite, friendly and attentive. Checks on us to make sure everything’s ok with our meals and if there’s ever been an issue, he deals with it promptly. Christine always looks after us too, both of them are my favourite team members to see when we visit. Although all the team are friendly and welcoming. Food is always spot on too, hats off to the chef. Our food is always served hot and within 20/25 minutes of ordering. The fries are basically the same as McD’s. Will always accommodate our fussy eater too.

We had our last visit to the Coach House because it closes on 31st May 2023. We have been here several times over the years but had to come for our last lunch visit before it closes next week. Mind you we had enough points on our Bonus Club card to get a free bottle of wine, but we said our last farewell to the staff, especially Pippa & we hope she gets what she wants when the place closes. It does seem a shame to demolish this restaurant & the Premier Hotel just to extend the car park for the Trafford Centre.
