This was one of the most disappointing meals and places we’ve been to in Manchester. We ordered orange juice, filter coffee, croque madame croissant, hash potatoes and vegan classic. We received the orange juices and a semi warm filter coffee in okay time, but had to wait 40 minutes for the food, which meant we had no drinks with it. We paid overprice for a small plate of cold potatoes with half a mushroom. It seemed like some leftover. The vegan classic was dry, some boiled spinach and nothing with any particular good taste, besides of the dry vegan sauces, but they needed ketchup. This was not homemade, just some anonymous ketchup bottle. The croque Madame croissant would have offended a French person, it was disappointing as croque madame, decent just called a croissant with egg/ham/cheese though. We received no apologies for the delay, were not offered any new drinks after such a long wait and glasses/cups being empty. No eye contact from the staff. We were asked to pay when we ordered. If we hadn’t, I would have complained. The price was not fair for the amount of food and quality of food and service.

Overpriced Northern Quarter brunch spot as to be expected. Service is fine. The quality of food is good but not matched for what you pay. Smoothies were fresh. Main gripe is the noise level, it's unbearable when it gets slightly busy and the acoustics just amplify it all. Makes eating here unpleasant.

Busy Sunday morning and we had to wait 20 minutes, but the communication from the staff was 10/10. They were a member of staff down but still got us in quicker than expected and took our order without any delay. Food was incredible and good quality. Coffee was top notch and you could taste the difference using organic coffee beans. Would definitely come here again for brunch

Truly dreadful. AVOID. Coffee dreadful, I asked for a flat white. It was awful. I asked if I could have a cappuccino instead. They said I'd have to wait a long time as they were really busy and that I'd have to pay for a cappuccino. My daughters hot chocolate wasn't drinkable. We also had a cake which was so sweet it tasted of nothing but sugar.

Went here for brunch recently. We were told there was a wait time for the food. We ordered the food, and paid for it, but discovered that the menu prices were not right, they charge VAT separately. They need to be honest with this as I didn't expect to pay more than what was stated on the menu. The food arrived, we had a few issues with certain items being undercooked but the staff sorted it. It wasn't the best experience of Brunch I have had.

These guys deserve all the 5 stars! Such a great coffee shop and an amazing place to bring your laptop and work in peace. The vibe is very cool and laid back, I had 2 coffees, both were great and appropriately priced (incomparable to Starbucks TBH). I was there for a few hours to work and have some coffee before my train and this was a perfect spot. The staff do not judge or bother you if you’re just working, the music was a little louder IMO if you’re planning on having any meetings, otherwise great service and cozy atmosphere. It’s pet friendly, it was so great to see cute dogs within the space. Would recommend 10/10

The food this time wasn’t right . Slimy scrambled eggs piled on top of bread with avocado piled on top . Quite a small plate. The tea arrived first the server must think she’s a gangster cause she just popped the milk cup inside the empty tea cup and bunged it on the table spilling the milk inside . We didn’t ask for milk but now we have milk in the tea cup . Worse more the milk cup base was sat inside the tea cup hardly a clean hygienic way to serve drink. No apology and totally oblivious . Then arrives the food . We mentioned the mushrooms are missing the server wanted to take away all the food and we said we are eating now just get the missing mushrooms ! The young man reruns marching through like an mma wrestler spouting out a story about how the mushroom always gets missed out on orders and he will bring it soon . It arrived 10 minutes later ! Then the gangster number one returns to commandeer the ketchup . We had to add a bit more ketchup …I asked is this the only bottle yes I’m afraid so . She grabs it and marches off . I am absolutely disgusted by the food and more importantly the service is from the gutters . Hiring untrained staff with the No manners is a disgrace . Management be ware . This is not what people pay for when they wish to be served in a hygienic and comfortable environment . A really bad experience . If you wish to hire this kind of staff then just pack up and move elsewhere . Not a cafe that deserves to be in the northern quarter . Not anymore ! This is the third time we get this type of belligerent indifferent and rude service . A real pattern hence why the review .

We like the food, however, every time we go we’re told that there is at least a 40-60 minute on food (even when there is several empty tables). Today we went and we were told that they had to prioritise a hen do that took place earlier in the day (it was 13:30) and they weren’t serving food. The food is alright, but we won’t be trekking over there again anytime soon, as it gets boring hearing the same thing each time and having to wait for an extended amount of time for a simple barm.

I came to get take away food. The customer service was pretty poor and the staff on the door might benefit from going through customer training. However, the worst was the food that I have ordered! For £12 I got the smallest salad portion I have ever seen that consisted of a bunch of rocket, with 2 halves of the aubergine and sprinkles of feta cheese and random couscous. It felt like the leftover food from the weekend has been put together. No chicken was available on a day (which is fine as I don't mind), but also there was no seasoning whatsoever! This salad should have cost me much less! If you want some lunch food, avoid it all costs!

My first visit to Foundation Coffee House was during my second year at university. I had recently taken up yoga and was attending a vinyasa class across the street. As I left the class, I was greeted by the imposing façade of Sevendale House. At the time, I felt like I was in Brooklyn Heights or another trendy part of NYC. It has enormous ground floor windows and a sort of stoop set into the building. I was in the mood for coffee, so I went inside. And it's been my go-to ever since. Whenever I'm in the Northern Quarter, I know I'll be able to get into Foundation. The décor hints at NQ's industrial past, with exposed pipes and wires in the ceiling. The shop itself is very spacious and homely, with white tiled walls and small tables. The food here is decent. It'll certainly fill the void if you fancy one of their bakes. However, the chief selling points of Foundation are the coffee and the service. The coffee is strong, and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. If food is what you're looking for, it might be worth delving a little further into town. But for a relaxing atmosphere, nowhere compares to Foundation.

I've been here a few times now, sometimes on a weekday and sometimes it's a weekend and it's one of my favorite spots for sure! The thing that really makes this place is the staff!!! Such resilient and kind people(rare combo lol). I always feel welcome and special here. Namely Maria who is so dedicated and hard working but also so sweet and just makes it look like it's so easy when I know it cant be as it's always so busy in there and some of us coffee thirsting peeps can be so grumpy lol so yes the service is exceptional, the great atmosphere is made by the great staff(also big love to Keeli and Julianne) and the master chef from Australia in the kitchen (forgot name sorry) - also makes it look so easy and the presentation is just always like something you see on tv That is another reason why i recommend this place - you see those busy places and you know it must be so stressful to work there (I used to work in pub kitchens) and sometimes it makes me not want to eat in places like that but actually here the kitchen is quite visible and before I started talking to the staff more I'd always notice the kitchen looks like a healthy environment so that's definitely a big reason why the food is good and the place runs smoothly too anyway these lovely people and all the other staff there have been so kind to me always even tho i can be awkward and not so so regular I just feel appreciated there and always looking forward to my next visit.

Usually when i enter coffee shops i expect the staff to be kind and friendly but this was not the case earlier today. A particular girl who works at this branch was utterly disrespectful and rude. ( I highly doubt this is the sort of individual you would like representing your brand. ) When asked why a simple coffee was taking 20 minutes the two boys working seemed bothered however, there was no apology just a blunt and rude reply from her. I have worked in coffee shops and it does not take this long especially when it was very empty. She was then tasked in bringing the coffee to the table and this lead to her yet again being rude and short with myself and my boyfriend - I am unsure whether she understands what customer service means... perhaps a stuck up university student who only cares about herself? Why has she been hired? All in all, it was ok. Truly nothing special and it is a shame because the other members of staff were nice. My advice.... sack her before the entire brand reputation is ruined.

So, we just wanted two coffees and no food, and the drinks were brought promptly to our table.

£4 for a cold, plain croissant … Coffee is okay but can’t get head around costs. Certainly other places you can go with better value for money.

Great breakfast however the coffee wasn't the best. Not awful, just not the best. Loud room which needs to have the acoustics sorted but overall a great dining experience.

Perfectly fine food and smoothie but just appalled by the service. No need to be all smiles and grins but just a bit of decency is good. Me and the man behind me were waiting awkwardly for 6 minutes to be served and the barista wasn’t even making anything. She was just wiping the counter and rudely ignoring us. After she eventually stubbornly took my order, there was exactly one man behind me. So explain why it took two workers 20 minutes to make a smoothie!!! Ridiculous. Not even an apology for the time just slammed down after 20 minutes and that’s that. So rude. Also £10.50 for a smoothie and a croissant is insane but that not the baristas fault.

I normally chose pret when I’m in airports. The food is just slightly better than other places, I think. They both have vegan and meat products

Bottomless brunch. SHOCKING. Most of the already limited menu wasn’t available. One of the only savoury meals you can choose (chicken) was rock hard & inedible. Sourdough bread was tiny & had giant holes in middle (was basically sourdough crust). It took 1hour to bring x4 pieces of burnt chicken & x4 unbuttered bread slices (we still can’t believe the chef had the nerve to call that a meal & serve it). We asked for butter for bread to be brought with our sides- which then took a further 30mins for chips to arrive (tiniest portion possible)- to still never receive the butter. Far from what we expected when travelling all the way to Manchester & paying £85 for the voucher! Feeling ripped off is an understatement.

Loved the large full English breakfast. Love the original 80's decor. Good prices. Definitely worth a try.

Unique little pub for Manchester City centre. Working class, down to earth , decent pints. Quite an interesting place for a few quiet ish pints. And not at rip off prices either.
