The Anchor Coffee House in Manchester

El menú es limitado, pero muy bueno: rosquillas, dulces, etc. El personal es voluntario de la iglesia local. Son muy agradables y muy eficientes. La directora me recordó de hace dos años. Me encantó volver, pero me sorprendió que estuviera menos ocupado a la hora del almuerzo. En 2017, fue difícil conseguir una mesa.

¡Amo esta cafetería! Perfecto para estudiar o reunirse con amigos. ¡DELICIOSOS SANDWICHES DE CAFÉ Y BAGEL!

En primer lugar, creo que muchos de los críticos negativos deben tener en cuenta, aunque pueden no haber sido conscientes, de que este lugar está dirigido por voluntarios. Como tal, es comprensible que el servicio no siempre sea súper rápido o profesional en comparación con otros cafés. Al decir eso, este es un café muy agradable con mucho mejor café que la mayoría. El café utiliza el café de Monmouth, aunque no siempre se elabora como debe ser. Todavía mucho mejor que las opciones cercanas de Caffe Nero, Tim Horton's y Costa. El panecillo del mes suele ser bastante bueno, y de muy buen valor.

£5 for 1 latte and an Americano (which tasted like vinegar) - and a 25 minute wait. It wasn't very busy and the people next to us had waited 15 minutes for their drinks. I seriously don't know why the service in this place was so shambolic!!! The guy bringing the coffee over didn't seem to know what he was doing....other people were getting wrong orders given to them......I would never set foot into this place, the owners need to pay it a visit and see how it's been run into the ground by the staff...

I came here for a bite to eat and a drink, the bagels are really good and would definitely recommend. Will definitely be coming again.

We order a classic espresso and a Cuban. The espresso coffee its impossible to finish to drink. Have a horrible taste. Instead the Cuban that should be with condensed milk taste as a classic cappuccino. We are so disappointed for this experience. I have 13 years of experience working in a coffee shop in the centre of Rome, Italy.

Like the style of the place - classic vintage in one half and sleek and modern in the other. Coffee and tea are pretty good, although if you do order coffee you don’t get much, or a saucer for the cup, so don’t spill any...

I visited here with my daughter (10) for a mid-morning brew. Located not far from the University of Manchester and Whitworth Art Gallery it is easy enough to find. As you will see from the photo it used to be a pub but once inside it is a tale of two halves. The front has retained its pub look and feel but at the back is a modern area with lots of light and tables and chairs. We found it easy enough to find a spot but I suspect at peak times it may get busy. As well as coffee there are food options including bagels, soup and waffles. I went for a bacon bagel and my daughter the waffle with cream and Nutella. We also had a Macchiato and a hot chocolate (with cream and marshmallows) The drinks came quickly and the coffee was excellent. My daughter found the hot chocolate a bit on the strong side but after she had polished off the cream they were happy to top it up with more milk. The bagel and waffle were both great. I also gave a Cuban a try having not come across it before. This had condensed milk as well as espresso and milk. It was really good. I’m not a massive milky coffee drinker but I would have that again. In terms of practicalities, there is WiFi and toilets available. The staff were really friendly and we will definitely be back.

After a Saturday morning parkrun at Platts Field park we tried the Anchor for the first time. There was plenty of parking behind the shops and we arrived not long after it opened at 10. It was quiet but there was a warm welcome and a relaxing atmosphere. The menu was not extensive but we were happy with a pain au raisin, pain au chocolat and a cinnamon bun, all tasty and very fresh. We had a tea, americano, cappucino and a piccolino ( very small) , very nice coffee. The main menu is based around bagels and I could not resist ordering one to take away - New York Deli - choice of bagel,pastrami, dutch cheese, mustard mayo and gherkin - really good. The cafe also supports work in the local community. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will return. Discount for NHS staff

This was my first visit to Manchester University, and what struck me most about the area around the campus was the dearth of decent cafes! After walking round campus for 30 mins with two other academic colleagues, we finally stumbled upon Anchor. When we arrived around 9.30 pm on a Friday morning (admittedly before the beginning of the teaching term at the University), the place was empty - there were literally no customers. The cafe is nicely furnished, with lots of space and a less-is-more approach to the menu. We ordered various bagels, porridge (with honey and Nutella), tea and coffee. Food was tasty and service was courteous and prompt. Would visit again. Only markdown was the two mini bars of chocolate I bought at the till, produced by a small local artisan manufacturer. Chocolate was disappointing, particularly given the relatively high cost. But then again, I am really fussy about the quality of chocolate!

Lovely, relaxed atmosphere from the get go! Staff are extremely friendly and always happy to help! Food and drinks are excellent and quite reasonable! They provide discounts for NHS staff :)

Fantastic bagels. They have catered for a few work events for me over the years. The food is always delicious and orders accurate.

This quiet corner is a comfortable change from more bustling chain coffee shops, offering excellent, simple fare in a friendly, feel-good environment. Bagels are outstanding, along with the coffee. While I didn’t sample other menu items I imagine those are prepared with equal care and quality.

Drop anchor and find a nice berth here for some excellent coffee. Lovely bagels are also served. Staff are very pleasant.

For a Brazilian the quality of the coffee is so important, and here they really have good ones! The place is also amazing, you can stay here all day working or just having a great time with friends. Congrats to the team, really friendly!

Always been slightly disappointed with here. The food, whilst good, is simply not served in sufficient portions- I have always left feeling hungry despite spending £10 plus on tea, a bagel, and cake. Sort it out and I'll be back, otherwise it's somewhere to avoid.

I like the fact this place is a converted pub, shows the changing times of our society. And a great conversion too, nice seating and natural light. The menu is minimal. Bagels, soups etc. I did forget to ask for my bagel to be toasted......

Came here for coffee with a friend, fantastic place! Friendly atmosphere and good coffee. Great service. Well done!

For about three weeks daily in June I frequented this coffee house daily in order to work on my book. It was a great place to work which was only rarely noisy. The staff who are almost all unpaid volunteers did their work with great...

Visit with uni friends as it is a good place to catch up and study, often busy but staff are very friendly. Has extension cords for charging laptops and free wifi, food is wonderful if a little on the dear side for what you get....

Nice visit for brunch at The Anchor, good coffee, bagels were tasty but a bit on the small side! Super quiet and free wifi, could serve as a great study zone. Nice overall vibes.

I've been in this place before, coffee was 8/10 in my opinion. Today, they needed 15 mins for an iced latte for takeaway. The barista had no clue on how to handle an unhappy customer. I left the place and they ended up keeping my...

Lovely environment, great test coffee, same as bagels. Stuff was bit cold, even though it wasn't really busy. Not many dessert options, but great for a light brunch or afternoon tea

This place is so great if you're after a relaxed environment with great tasting bagels. Great space for working or brunching or lunching with friends. Staff are so friendly and welcoming

This coffee shop used to be the Whitworth pub. A lovely well presented cafe with a nice selection of snack/ lunchtime food. It offers a variety of tea and coffee drinks amongst others. The cakes were lovely and the portion sizes good. If you're ever...

This cute coffee house is full of friendly people. We ate breakfast over there, Gluten free Salmon bagels and sweet potato soup and it was delicious. They serve Monmouth coffee too which is high quality. Many students come to chill out and study.

Very very cute and relaxed, brilliant to just go grab a drink and bite to eat with friends because of the chilled atmosphere. Lots of seating and has outside area which is brilliant. The food is really nice if defiantly recommend the beagles and cream...

Love this little cafe Friendly staff and friendly place to just sit. If you like coffee you are in for a treat...try the 'Cuban' it's so great tasting. Also this little gem gets coffee from all over the world so try a 'pour over'they pick...

I have had the pleasure of visiting The Anchor on several occasions and would highly recommend it to others. The atmosphere is really comfortable, relaxing and easy-going. The staff - all volunteers - are really lovely and work hard. The prices are extremely reasonable and...

Had breakfast here last week with my husband. Both tried a different flavor of porridge, which was very yummy. Service was very quick, although it was not clear for us at the beginning that we had to order at the bar. Foods and drinks were...
