The Grove in Manchester

really not a fan of the new menu. everything is really similar :( bring back full manc and the bagels

The slowest service in the history of humankind. Ordered first and three people behind me in the queue were served first. 12 minutes for flat white, just not worth it.

Food was amazing 👏👏👏. Staff snooty and aloof (more interested in themselves than helping) and the atmosphere was chilled and relaxed.

Basically ate a whole onion in my snadwhich. The pasta is also barely seasoned and dry.

As a current MA student at MMU, commuting two hours from my home, I really enjoy stopping by here for coffee and something to eat. There are many cafés on campus, but they usually only offer sandwiches or wraps. Here, there are more food options, including for people who want to cut down on carbohydrates. Additionally, the coffee is really good. You can have a drink, eat, and spend time working on your laptop in a pleasant atmosphere with music in the background. There are also well-organised charging points for laptops. I had ordered mushrooms, just without the bread. My portion looked just like in the photo. Everything was freshly prepared and well-seasoned. If someone prefers just something to go with their coffee, there are also muffins, croissants, and other sweets, which are fresh and tasty as well. The girls who work here are kind and always smiling. Reading some of the comments, I think it’s important to be more understanding towards each other. We are all human, after all. Thank you for today’s lovely service, and see you next time. (The night photo from the outside was taken about two months ago when the days were shorter.)

Breakfast was lovely coffee great nice building but tacky plastic plants all over the place

It was a bad experience at the Grove as an International student at MMU. Still feel angry at midnight! Their service is terrible. When I came to ask for my coffee after I paid, a younger girl asked me for the receipt even though they did not give me because the print machine was not working. She was very aggressive. Just wondering if is it easier if I were local. And could the younger girl be nice and respectable to foreigners when she is in a service role? Cannot believe how you could open it to the public, your service is terrible even to the students who study at MMU. By the way, contributed the first Google review for the GREAT Grove Cafe.

Best gluten free breakfast rolls I've ever had! Really lovely vibe, very relaxed, excellent coffee.

Best soup in Manchester ! Great value for money . I frequent this place for lunch and their fresh breakfast bakes .Vegetarian friendly 🥕🥕

Lovely space! Turkish Eggs were absolutely gorgeous. The coffee was really tasty too. Would love for some extra options like a full breakfast and a breakfast butty that didn't have hash browns in. But on the whole a really tasty and creative menu

Dropped on this by chance on a University Open Day. My son and I had the Full English which was well presented and very tasty... probably the best hash browns I've ever had!! Enjoyed the calm relaxed atmosphere before our busy day ahead.

Best food on campus and possibly in Manchester. Fresh innovative seasonal menu. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff are really friendly.

Great service and brilliantly cooked egg in my barm! All of the crockery is lovely too. Would have to be my favourite MMU cafe as it's nice and chilled out and doesn't feel like you're inside a uni building.

Decent place to get breakfast on the way into work. The coffee is good and the prices reasonable. Service generally good.

Nice, fresh ambience café attached to one of the universities. Good range of breakfast dishes and open from 8am.

Well worth a visit if passing by!

The Grove is a great eating and meeting space. Great coffee served by great staff!

Great place to have some porridge and coffee first thing.

Actually it’s a good atmosphere and great tea but you get the impression that the customer doesn’t count. I can’t tell you how many times it has closed early or not opened - with no explanation or information on the door as to the reason why.

Really like the ambience and the coffee!

The food is poorly portioned and lacks flavour, the cakes and pastries are ok though

Great coffee, friendly staff, nice environment.... What more can you ask for... Will be back to try the food, which looks fabulous 👍
