Tesco Cafe in Salford

Visited for the first time today. I only had a coffee but the place was an abdolute mess. They were obviously short staffed as no-one had cleaned the tables. There was one man serving and another in the kitchen. I did report to customer services that they needed help, which fell on the deaf ears of a young man with no customer service training. Personally unlikely to go back.

Had a nice breakfast here this morning. We were served by Ian who was great. Drinks were a little slow however they were busy so we didn't mind waiting. Food came out fast and there was some errors but Ian was amazing and rectified it all really quickly. Ian is an asset to the team and made our experience great.

Not the ‘best brekkie in Irlam and Cadishead’, however it’s not that bad and deserves better reviews. I’d have given it 3.5. Cleanliness isn’t what it could be and the floor, tables and chairs needed a good clean. Maybe Tesco can spare a few quid from their £2.83billion profit last year to sort that. The windows were clean giving a lovely panoramic vista over the car park. Noted the old plate filler trick of putting the toast and butter on the main plate, not a side plate. Fried egg was ‘just’ cooked, white bread toast was fresh and fluffy and I was surprised by the Lincolnshire herby sausage, maybe not Tesco Finest quality, but it was fine. Bacon (2 slices) well cooked and you can’t go wrong microwaving baked beans. No problem to sit around and take my time to write a card (and this review) and wait for the rain to stop. Pot of tea with a little jug of milk made a cup and a half. My perfectly acceptable Brekkie with tea was £7.70, and the best thing I can say is … it’s closer than Spoons!

Nice and quite staff is very friendly, Food choices are great too, Only thing would say it could be bit less expensive. And they may need to add weekly/daily offers

Shocking service, won’t be returning

While the food here may not be the pinnacle of culinary excellence, and the prices aren't the most competitive, the convenience factor is undeniable. If you find yourself in need of both groceries and a coffee, this place serves its purpose. It's typically not bustling with crowds, and the staff are notably friendly, which adds a touch of warmth to the overall experience.

£6 for 2 coffees didn't even get asked what size just charged for large. Won't visit again.

10/10 staff are extremely helpful and food is fresh! Kids are free in the holidays too!

The food is horrible, purely horrible. Why I don’t know but I wouldn’t eat from here again. Plenty of other cafes etc within the irlam area to choose from. Avoid Shopping wise though is spot on

The basket checkout said it was card and cash but when I put my 1 pound coin in to pay for my drink is did not accept it and the cahire was being really rude about it and said that I can not read but it said Coins and notes will be accepted

All ways understaffed that means a long wait and when food does arrive it's cold so bye bye. In future we will go some where else for food before we go shoping. This was mentioned to the area manager. A real shame.

One of my favourite Tesco cafes , I love the way care is taken over presentation , whether it’s just a humble slice of toast or a full meal, care is taken. Staff are friendly and helpful. Well done!

My favorite Tesco Café. Lovely staff.

The bacon and egg taste like it was cooked before the last lockdown

Good place for a coffee etc, good friendly staff

Nice big cafe when you fancy a break from shopping

Loved the all day breakfast cant wait for it to open again

Nice toasted sandwich and cup of tea.

tables needed cleaning and wipng. you would think that they would be on top of that with this virus .

If you are a little peckish then I'd recommend the food. The food is prepared fresh when ordering so expect a wait.

Convenient to have a nice drink and meal before or after shopping

No quality consistency in the cooking of the food. I have been and had really nice food but also I have to say this is not the first time I have been and the food has been dried out and or o recooked and to top it off has arrived cold.staff are lovely and very professional however if the produce was to standard in the first place ..... Like I have said though on a positive I have also had some really lovely food especially the child's breakfast as I cannot eat a lot....X

My partner and I had an English breakfast each one Saturday morning before doing our shopping - not eaten here before. My partner had the large breakfast which was £6.90 and I had the medium breakfast which was £4.90. They were both cooked to order and tasted nice, especially the hash browns which were absolutely delicious. But for £6.90, the large breakfast only had 1 round of flabby toast and not even a hot drink included. Our sausages were really small and clearly the cheapest that Tesco sell. Service was fine and the cafe was clean. But for the price, we would not eat here again as a large and a medium breakfast with a tea and a coffee cost over £15, which for the overall quality and quantity of the food, was absolutely extortionate and just not worth it. My milk jug was also chipped and there was a dirty mark on my teapot. Sainsbury's cafe breakfasts are far superior and cost less.

Clean, functional and on the ground floor. Carpark is fine and fuel too

Ok for a butty and brew, not the most exciting place to eat, staff don't seem to talk to much to customers, more interested in chatting to each other when I've been there with my children...

Very nice food, pricing was a little bit high though for me

I have seen this cafe in all in incantations (yep, I AM old!) Since the Tesco opened in fact. It has been good, rubbish , awful and much improved. Happily, it is now decent again. It had got awful, it used to smell of stale grease and the food left a lot to be desired. I avoided it for a long time. However couldn't fail to notice how much better it looked (& smelled!) when I was passing by to get to the loos. One day I weakened and went in! The coffee was lovely, much better than I could have imagined. They have changed the tables and chairs and even have "comfy" seats and a sofa. Now it needs to be pointed out this Iain a large supermarket, not a coffee shop so they are not the big squishy ones you might be thinking of. They are comfortable though. Since then I have been back about six or seven times. My husband (a man that truly loves his coffees) is a fan. We have occasionally had a cakes which were also nice. I have the staff to be really nice and the cafe is clean. My husband has also had breakfast there. As a vegetarian, he was very pleased with the quality of his food. To summarise, I don't think it is a place you would specifically travel to visit, however as a place for a snack or meal pre or after shopping it is well worth a visit given how much it has improved.

slow,staff unprofessional, portion minimum amount they can get away with ( the soup ),the other reviews are a fair reflection.

Very rude staff not mannered at all kicked us out for not buying anything and kicked us out in the pouring rain

Came here today with my wife and new born i order food and drinks price was £15 witch i fort was a little steep at first but when the food and drinks came it was well worth it who ever is the cook there 10/10 from me u need a pay rise

Very rude staff. Blondie and dark haired messing and flirting. No consideration for others. Food expensive for what you get. Wouldn't go In there again. Staff should be sacked and get proper ladies!

Nice food and didn't wait to long

... the coffee here is not very good...

Very poor considering their facilities, I was told couldn't have cheese on toast because they did not have the facilities.

Very poor lots of scope to do better

Nice place to catch up with friends

Cafe staff incompetent to carry out simple tasks, no manners whatsoever to go with it. Shambles. Blonde girl behind counter and the waitress with black hair both have terrible attitudes. Horrendus experience today, will not be coming back to this tesco now at all let alone the cafe.. what did i expect coming to tesco irlam though? Ha.

To expensive to buy anything and not alot to eat that's quick too grap to eat do get a value cup of coffee but sometime you need a bit more than that and it's a new cafe

Cosy place to relax after work.

A nice cafe. The staff are very friendly.

Queued so long for a tea and coffee had to buy cake

This place should be full given its attached to a major supermarket but it’s the poorest saddest excuse of a cafe you’ll see. The time management of staff is a joke your stood there waiting like a fool while they wander off and the facility they work in is quite amusing albeit new. I’ve seen better equipped dolls houses. There is no appeal whatsoever. Boring unappetising sandwiches and cold drinks stuck at the side in a fridge. Choose from the menu for the rest. But be patient and don’t expect to much. It’s currently 10.15 am the busiest breakfast period and only 6 people in the cafe and only 1 eating. I am a regular Tesco shopper and they are missing a massive opportunity.

Did was the standard you get from a supermarket. Service was slow due to staff off. Normally there are no issues with service

Breakfast was lovely but service was not very good. Took ages for food to come out, Not much choice for kids foods, not enough cutlery. Understaffed, food left on shelf for 5+mins before being sent to tables.

We had a friend staying at ours, so at breakfast we went with 4 kids and two adults all vegetarian and they have big pictures of veg breakfast but on that day, staff was not in mood, full of attitude and anger:said we don't have anything vegetarian, not ready to give toast and coffee, just one sign:you all get lost!! Kids were told very good breakfast at tescos so won't get up, refused to do potato chips, scones, sandwich, yoghurt, cereal. They seemed anti kids and inhospitable. Ultimately we had to drag kids out, bought some yoghurt from tesco store and drove to makro.

I have been several times to the cafe as can walk with baby but every time I've gone the tables have been dirty, they have got some part of the order wrong or not had something we wanted and the staff give off a CBA attitude.

Saturday morning, we fancied a cooked breakfast. I knew this Cafe has recently been refurbished I suggested to my son we would visit. The Cafe looked clean and bright, no food was on show. Food was ordered at the till, there was one person serving the drinks and food. we paid £16.17 for drinks and breakfast this seemed expensive for a supermarket cafe. After 25 mins no food had arrived I asked to speak to the Manager to complain. I was told they had not got enough staff on. I could not wait any longer , I asked for a refund. I was given a refund for the food that did not arrive although we still had to pay for the drinks. I will not be returning any time soon. Very disappointing.
