Salford Museum & Art Gallery Cafe in Salford

I actually only popped in the museum to use the toilet but the smell of the soup in the foyer area was so good I also stopped for a snack. I enjoyed a really nice Leek & Potato soup with a chunk of bread and a pot of tea - all served with a smile by a small group of youngsters. The perfect way to break a 5-mile stroll around Salford and Manchester.

Went with my partner for afternoon tea was expecting it to cost £26 as usual charged £38, far more then expected

We had an excellent value for money lunch and we found the staff to be both friendly and professional.

Went today. Only a street open. Half hour slots, Only Then No Disable parking. Being Charged £3 For the half hour.

A super cafe nice and big with good views over Peel park. Simple food and drinks well presented and great prices - great meaning good !! Served by a brilliant guy who was cheerful and helpful. The museum is excellent - a great little road depicting life gone by. Very well put togetehr with light and sound effects. The whole place is super museum gallery and cafe, Free and easy to get to. A 2 minute walk from Salford Cresc Station

A lovely spacious cafe, nice food, scrumptious cakes, good value, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Visit the fab museum as an extra bonus but if not no problem - this place is better than most cafes and coffee shops in the manchester area. Especially good are their vegan and veggie offerings. The staff are very friendly, efficient and responsive.

We booked the cafe for afternoon tea for 20 people to celebrate volunteers week. The cafe staff where friendly, helpful and happy to be working at Salford Museum Cafe. The cafe was spotlessly clean and tidy. The cafe had a relaxing atmosphere and was well laid out. The food was superb especially the cakes and scones, they do a lovely brew! There is plenty car parking but it isn’t free. WiFi internet is available but their is plug sockets to charge your phone or laptop. I would recommend this place for large groups and for relaxing.

I often call at the museum cafe for a hot drink before uni. There is a good choice of drinks, toast, cakes, sandwiches and snacks. All reasonably priced and well presented. The ladies that work here are so friendly and welcoming. No student discount though!!!!

Just ... Order the ham and cheese one! It's incredible It's better than the curry by miles! (See picture)

My fiance and I had a meal here on Monday 22nd October which was my birthday. Sheldon looked after us extremely well and made us feel really comfortable. The food was delicious (albeit not quite enough for my partner who can eat loads). I had the bean casulette which was really good and my other half had the beef bourguignon. As it was my birthday Sheldon made everyone in the restaurant sing happy birthday which was hugely embarrassing but quite nice. I also had a free cake... very nice indeed. I would recommend going to Cafe Rouge if you fancy a bit of french.

Had a lovely lunch I still keep talking about the lovely lamb broth soup I had. The ladies are lovely and helpful. We'll be returning soon. Thanks very much.

I am here often, for tea/coffee, the odd lunch, and the staff are simply wonderful. Super friendly lovely people. They make a fine cuppa and when the home made scones are available they should not be missed!!!

A friend from Southern England was up in Manchester and spontaneously suggested we meet for a catch up. My partner was already out and I had to think of a convenient venue and location for us all. The museum was perfect. Whoever arrived first could wander around the exhibits. Lots of space in the ground floor open plan cafe. I think 3 cappuccinos and 3 slices of cake came in at about £20 a teeny tad over what I would prefer to pay for what we had. Yummy cake and decent coffee

I recently went for afternoon tea for a special birthday celebration with 12 adults and 4 kids at the cafe in Salford Museum and Art Gallery. It was superb quality and good value for money. The table looked lovely, everything was ready when we arrived and the staff were so friendly and helpful - both on the day and beforehand. The sandwiches were tasty, filling and very fresh and the cakes were dainty looking and delicious. A very tempting selection and top-notch scones too! One of our group needed gluten free and her specially prepared food was excellent too - as were the lunch boxes for the children. The individual little Prosecco bottles were a welcome celebratory touch. After eating, we all thoroughly enjoyed walking through the recreated Victorian street and the kids loved all the other activities for them (brilliant shop too - an affordable selection of goodies). Thanks for a memorable day out! Highly recommended.

The cakes on offer are so delicious.you will be spoilt for choice & prices are so reasonable. The cafe seems very popular with students from the university & small wonder! We only had time for cake but think we will try booking an afternoon tea here soon! The staff are very welcoming & helpful & brought our cake & drinks over to our table for us . Everywhere was spotlessly clean & it was a pleasure to relax for a short time 7 watch the student world go by!

My friend booked afternoon tea in advance. Pre-booking would be especially wise in term time as a lot of students use the café. It was a vegetarian special afternoon tea. This is not finger-thin, miniature food, this is proper-size sandwiches, rolls and cakes! We needed a doggy bag, which was perfectly packed. The tea was leaf-tea in interesting pots with effective strainers.The staff were just lovely - so friendly and helpful!

Good variety of snacks, jacket potatoes, toasties, soup, do gluten free. Nice cakes. Do soya milk, I had a nice latte.

Beautiful and very educative. The open cafeteria is spacious and modern . Nice quick lunch and i had the most sinful banana loaf with chocolate and amazing fresh coffee!

Very welcoming place with a good variety of sandwiches, paninis, salads, cakes at good prices. Food & drinks are brought to your table after ordering which is a nice touch. Some nice views over the park when it's not raining !

Only had ta and cake, but loved it. Cake delicious, made by one of the staff. The laduies looked after us and were very friendly.

Came in with my family this afternoon as they were visiting from wales. What a lovely afternoon we had, the cafe is lovely and the 2 young ladies were absolutely charming and couldn't take care of us enough, the smell of cakes being cooked was mouthwatering.

After a visit to the Salford Museum with our Grandchildren, we went for Lunch in the Cafe.

Popped in here for meet up with a colleague and found it really good. The food is very good value and they will bring it to your table after you have ordered. Lovely decor too.

I visited on my own on a Sunday afternoon. I've lived in Salford for 8 years and driven past the museum hundreds of times but only just learned of its existence.

i went to the salford museum at peel park with my sister and brother, we are all in our late 50s to 60s.

On the ground floor of the museum, this cafe serves a decent range of food - we especially liked the made-on-the-spot smoothies. Good seating in a spacious environment.

Went here with my grandchildren on a visit to museum , excellent food, reasonably priced, enjoyed by us all. Well served by friendly and helpful staff.

the museum has a fantastic old time street called lark hill which recreates a old fashioned street in Salford with all the old cobblers shop,toffee shop and so on,it really is atmospheric and the museum has some wonderful paintings, and then visit the café to finish a nice morning off

We decided to visit the Museum as it has been some years since I had been ,my Husband had never been , we went on a Sunday afternoon, we visited Lark Hill Place which is a section of the museum given over to a Victorian street it was better than I remembered and the staff were very helpful and informative we even got a free bag of old style sweets from the Victorian sweet shop. We then ventured into the Café and ordered Sandwiches, Cake { a very generous slice } and a pot of Tea each as there were 4 adults it was served to us very graciously by the lovely young lady named Ashley who was behind the counter, for the four of us it only cost £20. a real bargain for four adults with healthy appetites. Unfortunatly we did,nt leave ourselves enough time to visit the Art Gallery but it gives us a good excuse for another afternoon tea.

Lovely views out of the windows, and well spaced seating. Pricing is a tad expensive but comes with the nature of the establishment. Food and drink was great - no complaints to be had! Worth stopping if you're already visiting the museum

Very light and airy place with a reasonable choice and good prices. the staff are very helpful & friendly, happy to bring food / coffees over to your table. Good views over Peel Park and the adjacent university too. Well-recommended.

Fine choice of lunch options and really good cakes. Friendly and helpful staff along with plenty of seating in a well lit and welcoming café area of the museum and art gallery.

It was alright. The staff are friendly and serve anything cooked for you. The menu has cakes, beverages and various toasted Pannies and sandwiches. The seating adjoins the gift shop so it's quite handy. I thin the cafe is used by people on a regular basis for lunch and meeting? Basically, it's handy for the Street and Gallery, but not a special trip.

We came across this cafe on the look-out for something new. The cafe is excellent. It's set on the ground floor of the Salford Museum and Art Gallery and overlooks Peel Park which is being refurbished. The atmosphere is light and airy. The coffee is good and has a good range of cakes and snacks. Great service too. It was an unexpected surprise on a rainy Sunday. Well worth a visit but be prepared to pay for parking though it is good value if you combine it with a visit to the gallery.

Fresh food is served here, for a small price. The staff has put special efforts towards the settings , which makes it a great place to take a break.

I came in with some friends expecting a small coffee shop and maybe some bought in cakes, how wrong was we!
