Rustica in Cheshire East

They're all so lovely in here and service is always with a smile 🫶 Why this cafe stands out in this town: 1) Open on a Sunday with Dine-In 2) Dining area out back for nice days 10/10

We were lucky enough to stumble across this fantastic little cafe whilst visiting the area. I don’t leave reviews often but I just had to leave one for this place because the staff were SO incredibly lovely and the food was outstanding. Best eggs Benedict we’ve ever eaten by a mile. Beautiful, fresh ingredients and attention to detail sets it apart from the rest. Such a special place, the staff make you feel like part of the family and they can’t do enough for you. I just wish we lived closer! Definitely worth a visit and they deserve to do well. Thank you for a fabulous meal.

Best breakfast and service I've had in years

Fantastic little place, family run with the friendliest, most welcome staff and incredible food. We were lucky enough to stumble across this place whilst visiting. Wish we lived closer as we would be here all the time! Best eggs Benedict we’ve ever had. Fresh quality ingredients and the staff can’t do enough for you. Just fabulous!

The food was ok, not feeling so fresh (especially the vegetables), service was excellent

A hidden gem, in a part of Macc. where I rarely venture. Had mushrooms in garlic sauce. Plus a coffee. The staff are efficient and welcoming.

Just had breakfast here, it was so good we will come back tomorrow before we head off home. Lovely place and very friendly.

What a place excellent service excellent food highly recommended

Came back again and enjoyed it so much! The garden was a lovely atmosphere in the summer.

Wow by far the Best café in town

Reasonable priced ,nice food lovely service.all in all thougerly enjoyable lunch

Very friendly and welcoming every time, relaxed atmosphere and great value for money especially Full English with both a hot and a cold drink for under a tenner.

Reviewed before and great to see this super friendly café now has enough reviews to move up the charts. On this occasion we were here as a standby but our friends were very pleased with their food. Ali has left since our last visit but we were treated very well and had a nice table by the kitchen. Food was perfect and it's very reasonable. A veggie break for £9 I think and that includes a coffee and OJ. Be back again sometime.

There is a small car park situated outside the cafe, this can get busy as the day goes on so parking right outside may not always be an option. We visited on a Sunday morning and got the last table, this is only a small cafe. We had a very warm and friendly welcome and our drinks order was taken. We had the eggs benedict and the pancakes. The pancakes are a crepe rather than the fluffy American style which is what I was expecting however they were still nice. The eggs benedict was a good portion size with a small side of salad. The service is what really made this place shine, it was so friendly and chatty and you got a feeling that people were just coming in just for a coffee and conversation.

Freshly cooked food with good service and VFM. Thumbs up!

Great place, very warm and excellent food. Very friendly people.

Always great food, freshly made, served with a smile 😄

Lovely food and great service x

Great food and great service thanks !

The best cafe in Macclesfield, the food, the atmosphere, and most importantly owned and ran by the most kind hearted man, have witnessed the owner walking elderly customers over roads safely, always opens the door for his customers, always cheerful and polite, he just deserves all the good feedback and more. Great man and great cafe :)

One of my favourite cafes in Macclesfield. So friendly, great food! Excellent choice from breakfasts to wraps and salads to pasta - I’ve tried most!

Good Breakfast as Usual. Very sad to see Ali has left . I live in London and always popped in when in Cheshire. Good luck to new owners they also seem like very nice people

All round great establishment. Great food , fast service and affordable

What a brilliant find Rustica was for a family brunch after a birthday party before we all headed home - some to to London and Wiltshire and others locally. 12 of us just turned up yesterday and were made very welcome - nothing was too much trouble - adapting the menu for gluten free, letting us move tables and accepting adhoc and extra orders all the time we were there. It really made the end of our family celebrations and goodbyes finish on a high. All the food was great - I had a delicious panini but when I saw the omelette with fresh spinach I decided that's what I'm having next time. All the English breakfasts were enjoyed. As a coffee lover it was a complete bonus to find that you could have barista coffee as well as filter.

A bit quite when went in but food was great

Breakfast was perfect. Great little cafe with very friendly staff

Best Breakfast in Macclesfield (in my opinion). Ali gives the best service Highly recommended!!

What a lovely friendly cafe. I really enjoyed my soup and coffee. I was given quick service as I was in a rush to get to work. Definitely go again. Highly recommended.

Excellent place to go for food or even just a coffee, the owner is such a nice bloke, always serves with a smile on his face and in all the years I've been going to Rustica, I've never once had a bad meal, only place I can genuinely say is 10/10

The staff ist very nice and attentive and the food is great! Delicious breakfast, dog friendly and a cute backyard to sit in. Hidden gem and worth a visit!

We are here on vacation and found this Jewel by luck. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh and just tasty! The Chef made the Pancakes fresh! We are really blown away. The Staff was so nice to us and even brought us water for our two Dogs. If we would life here, we would come very often! Thanks for a great meal 🙏🏼

Great little cafe with excellent service.

Very nice garden to to sit in, good food, excellent service and run by lovely friendly people

Gotta be one of the best cafes in the area...staff are always very friendly...food is always freshly prepared....winner winner

One of the best places in macc, service and food is top quality and the staff are caring and nice. Although some food can be a little expensive the overall taste and experience pays off in the end and is totally worth the wait

Been meaning to try this cafe for ages. Staff were super nice and friendly. It was clean and pleasant inside. The food was really nice and tasty and the price was very reasonable. An enjoyable visit all round and will definitely go back

Lovely little café with extremely welcoming and friendly staff. Went for a birthday breakfast with my daughter and had a delicious full English served with coffee (very happy to change coffee to hot chocolate for my daughter) and juice. Very highly recommended! Thank you very much 🙂

Excellent vegetarian breakfast enjoyed today. Although not on the menu, when asked if they could do one, without hesitation the answer was yes. Great service and good value for money. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Rustica.

I love this place, Ali is a fantastic host, takes good care of ya

Fantastic little local cafe. Cheap and easy good. Nothing amazing, but served with love. Feels local and charming and the staff were super nice.

Wow excellent food friendly service highly recommended

Nice people, food looked good, great coffee

Lovely place. Intimate. Waiter very kind and helpful. Felt very welcome here.

What a little gem! Super friendly, great food, reasonably priced. We both had black pudding eggs Benedict, which I never knew was a thing, but every day is a school day! A must if you’re in the area.

Excellent quality food and service.

I had done a phone order for food (only a bap) but they kindly done me one on request, i got there and the staff are lovely. The Caff itself is clean and bright with a nice atmastphere. The price for food is also brill!! My new go-to I think!

Always great service and great food. The outdoor seating area is great when the weather is nice. Ali is always on hand to help and their Great Rustica breakfast at £8.50 is a bargain. Their pasta Carbonara is the best around.

I eat here regularly. Great food at the right price. Staff are really friendly.

Good quality food with friendly staff and a peaceful outside garden/dining area at the rear.

Had a lovely breakfast yesterday and a lovely latte, and service with a smile😊 Would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent cooked breakfast! Substantial portion and very reasonable price.

Fantastic freshly made good food. Brilliant staff that always make you feel very welcome, well worth a visit 👌👍

Honestly one of the best cafe’s I have been too. The service is great, food is amazing and the staff are so friendly ! Would definitely recommend ☺️

Not been for a while so a visit was well overdue., The two full English breakfast we has were spot on, and i would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely wonderful! I've lived 3 mins away for over 2 years and never tried the place. Went for a pre cup final breakfast. Eggs Benedict was unbelievable. The service impeccable. 10/10 would recommend! Now let's bring it home for Macclesfield RUFC

I really like this place. They are so friendly and co-operating. Nice big breakfast for £8.50 with a brew & orange juice. Coffee topped up too. Definitely recommend 👌

Popped in for a quick coffee and bacon bap - both very tasty; great quality and reasonably priced. Staff very accommodating when we were on a time limit! Will definitely return when we are next in the area.

A brilliant cafe with great food, staff and service.

Love this place. Food is excellent, the staff & management are brilliant. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely place and so friendly, really couldn't do enough for you

Brought my niece and her fiancé here this morning and they were full of praise for both the food and the service. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is reasonably priced. The 'full English' includes mushrooms and black pudding and coffee and orange juice, reminds me of my trip to Sugar and Spice in Windermere - £1.50 for a slice of black pudding! The owner who served us deserves every success and I'm glad to support this great local business.

Great find in Macclesfield, great selection of tasty delights for breakfast/ Lunch

just had a breakfast here it's great food and value will be returning

I was imprress with the quality of the food and service excellent

I had amazing experience at Rustica today everything was excellent and big thanks to Ali and Franco

Thank you Ali for wonderful food Amasing

Good food beautiful atmosphere and a wonderful service definitely the best in Macclesfield

Lovely food and freindly service i love the outside seating Ali was a wonderful host

I visited Rustica last Sunday and it was beautiful experience top quality food and excellent service highly recommended

Best breakfast and best service in Macclesfield

This has always been a great little cafe. Good food and friendly staff. Unfortunately when I visited last week with my mum the front of house coffee maker/server made a terrible mistake. After leaving my name and phone number for track and trace he saw it fit to use my PERSONAL details from this list to contact me personally. This is a violation of my privacy and a total breach and misuse of my personal details. I have approached the cafe so they know what this staff member is up to and the police have been consulted. I have also reported him to the IOC. Please avoid at all costs for your own safety and to protect anyone vulnerable being subjected to his harassment.

Only the second time that I’ve been and such a lovely atmosphere, service and food. Highly recommend this place and definitely worth a try.

Went to Rustica for full breakfast, toast, orange juice and a pot oftea. It was piping hot and fantastic. Would definately recommend and have no hesitation in going back.

We were looking for an early breakfast so that we would be ready for Sunday lunch(!) and Rustica was opening at 8am. I'm notsure if anywhere else is open at that time, some places don't even open on a Sunday in Macclesfield. Friendly welcome as ever, nice and warm inside and able to choose our seats. We all ordered something different and we all enjoyed our food. The sausages aren't that meaty, a bit spongy and the ketchup is thin but the price takes account of this and more. Coffee was very good. As I've said before, super friendly service.

Thanks again for a fantastic breakfast. Service is great. Although Rustica isnt in the town centre it's worth the 10 minute walk for some top notch fantastic value meals

Came here last week with my daughter and grandson . We all had paninis . Really nice , good portion sizes The gentleman who served us was really pleasent and friendly . Will definately call again

We’ve just had a fantastic evening meal at Rustica. This restaurant is a regular haunt for us during the day- great full English! - and they are now opening Friday and Saturday evenings. Give them a try ......

Rustica sits just off Park Lane, we popped in for an all day breakfast. Comes with free orange juice. Food was good, and staff are very friendly. Definitely a place to visit.

This is the first time we have had breakfast in Rustica but have wanted to go for a long while and it was well worth the wait!! We have visited here quite a few times when it was open in the evenings and also had lunch once. Ali & Francesco are brilliant hosts and the food is always delicious. Marilyn (Macclesfield)

Excellent food. Great staff. Highly recommended. Friendly relaxed atmosphere and really good service

Despite this place only being round the corner from where we live we have never visited, Turns out this was a big mistake on our part. What a hidden gem it turned out to be! We went with a friend for Sunday breakfast and it was lovely. Everything freshly cooked and really reasonable pricing. The owner is super friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was great. I was expecting it to be quiet but we were lucky to get the last table and for the whole visit as soon as a table became free another group seemed to appear to take it. Well worth walking through Macc and out of your way to try.

You can be sure of two things at Rustica; the genuinely friendly service and also the excellent value.It's open at 8 and this was one of the reasons we were here today, the morning after the night before! We had a selection of breakfasts, one of us went 'off piste' and they were more than happy to oblige, later working out the best price to base it on.One of my friends had the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and I was impressed with the way it was mixed as I'm not a fan of the texture of smoked salmon.I had the breakfast which is such incredible value at £6.95, including juice and a coffee. Maybe the sausages and the ketchup aren't as meaty and thick respectively as I'd prefer but you really cannot quibble for the price.Always an enjoyable experience and hopefully with more reviews Rustica will move up the rankings because 50 of 150 does not do it justice.

We were visiting the Silk Museum and needed somewhere local for lunch. A search on Google suggested that Rustica was better than your average cafe. And it was. A lovely warm welcome from the team, and the decor and menu to match. We all went for their Panini, and we were all very pleased with our choices, it's always good to get a few chips on the side, alongside the salad. Actually, I think it's probably better that it's not my local as I'm pretty sure I'd be tempted to have my breakfasts there more than I ought.

This excellent little restaurant is virtually unique in offering breakfast on a Sunday at 8am, most others in Macclesfield don’t open till 9 or 10. The breakfast was very good and reasonably priced, and the cleanliness was of a high standard. There is also free, albeit limited parking right outside.

Have been here many times & felt it deserved some recognition. The staff, service & food are so good & its always consistent.

Lovely service and a warm welcome - almost enough for a 5 star experience just there. But the food is great too. My Scottish scrambled eggs and salmon came out with a salad garnish as well as a generous portion of toast on the side (we asked for jam and this was also willingly brought out). Rustica offers a pleasant, clean and well-cared for environment in a small group of shops on the north of town. We especially LOVE that it was open early on a Sunday morning so we could stop for breakfast on our way to a day out walking. What a find, and we look forward to returning.

A lovely down to earth and welcoming spot. Great service from a friendly team. They dish up simple but tasty food, done well and at a great price.

I’d been on a stag-do followed by visiting my best mate for a few days... just before starting a new job. Rustica provided me with the fuel to knock that first day out even with the extremities of the previous 5. The breakfast was great. The menu didn’t give too much detail as to what was included with my full English but as I was in a rush, I didn’t really care. To be delivered with a full works, every item you’d expect, full English was a delight. It was hot, cooked perfectly, the ideal amount and tasted delicious without being greasy. Top notch! The fact that there was fresh orange juice was included added to the enjoyment as I didn’t even realise I needed one. The latte was also exemplary. All served with plenty of time to catch my train.... Bravo!!

We come for breakfast here quite regularly. The salmon and eggs on toast is incredible ! Always a great welcome with a big smile everytime we come ! Always busy which says it all !

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff. Between four of us we had porridge, 2 small breakfasts and granola. My husband thought the granola with yogurt was delicious and the small cooked breakfasts were just the right size. If you didn't like anything they we're happy to substitute it with something else.

Daughter treated my to a surprise lunch. You must try the lasagna she said. I did and it was hot, home made and delicoius.

There are a good number of places to have breakfast in Macclesfield and at Rustica you are guaranteed a warm welcome. The owner/ manager is genuinely friendly and is always looking to make sure you have an enjoyable experience; on our last visit, twice checking the blinds were covering the bright sunshine.

Food average, but you can't really do much else with a cooked breakfast. The restaurant can get a little smoky from the kitchen.

Had really lovely lunch here today. Beautifully cooked food, spotlessly clean, excellent friendly service and well priced. What more could you want?

Had lunch today in Rustica, I had read about the goods reviews. We were'nt disappointed.

Went here this morning and was very impressed with my breakfast. Staff were brilliant with my little girl which made the experience even better. Loved the music and buzzing atmosphere too!

Absolutely fantastic breakfast, great service and fantastic food! Best breakfast I’ve had in Macclesfield by a distance!

After a walk in the mist above Teggs Nose we were ready for a bite to eat and after seeing that the Teggs cafe stopped serving bacon butties at 10.30, we googled for a nearby cafe.

Called in for a late breakfast, lovely cafe with a very warm welcome. Great service and a lovely breakfast. All 3 had the rustica breakfast which included orange juice and tea or coffee. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty and the bill for all 3 was £19:50 which was fantastic value.

I love this place! Ali is such a lovely lovely person with such an amazing smiley mood! Food is excellent too! Thank you !
