The Koffee Pot Bar & Cafe in Manchester

Came to Koffee Pot for breakfast for the first time today! Vegan breakfast was really good and I was waited on by Halle who was really attentive and friendly! Pricing was more than reasonable, couldn't recommend this gaff enough really.

Visted on a Sunday and we had to put our name down and return 30 mins later because it was so busy but that’s because it’s so good! Worth the wait. When inside the staff could only take our drinks order at first because the kitchen was so busy, but once again that’s because it’s so tasty! Oat milk latte was 💯 I had the Vegan breakfast which was lovely and my partner had a gluten free fry up. The atmosphere is fantastic, the music and decor are to thank for that. Good photo opportunities. Staff were really friendly 🧡

We took a trip to Manchester for a day out shopping, it was also my friends birthday. The Koffee Pot was close to Piccadilly station, the interior feels homely, the staff are friendly and ever so accommodating. The food was delicious, I would definitely visit again. I had a full English fry up, it was tasty and my friend had french toast, she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely little cafe/greasy spoon (although this restaurant doesn’t deserve the sometimes negative perception of the phrase greasy spoon) The vibe was great and the food options were fantastic - I got the Scottish breakfast (can’t remember the exact name) but it was all perfectly cooked and really tasty. Strongly recommend.

Went on a Saturday, great hangover cure, hearty breakfast and nice selection of unique things like pastrami sandwiches. The coffee was excellent, cheap and recommend the filter coffee. My pastrami sandwich was ok, bread was decent but no mustard / lack of sauce was disappointing, and the actual pastrami was more like pulled pork. But overall a great place for breakfast. We did wait about an hour, but the guy sorting out tables was very organised. You put your name down and he gives you an estimated time to come back.

delish food, quick service, little bit of a wait on busy hours but so worth it !

What a little gem well worth a visit friendly attentative staff 👍

Great staff very friendly and watch out for the amazing deserts. The guys tell me they're all calorie free. Lol

The best breakfast I have ever had! The service was great Halle was our waitress & she was so lovely, kind & made sure we had everything we needed! Breakfast was amazing! Definitely be back the next time I’m in Manchester.

Cracking cafe in Manchesters Northern Quarter. Had a lovely Bloody Mary .

Haley, our server was exceptional, really nice lady and bent over backwards to make our dinning experience memorable, the food was also great. 👍

Such a comfort place! Halle served us and she was such a gem! Best service!:)

About a 30mn wait for a table on Sat and Sun this weekend which is fine. Hostess very friendly. Food came within a reasonable time 15mns. Drinks took longer than food. My filter coffee took 25mns so I thought they'd forgotten it. Orangina also took 20mns; the waffles came first! RUDE WAITRESS when it came to pay. We asked to pay and take the service charge off as it said "opt" for optional on the bill as obviously we're just out for breakfas. Service charge is also always a choice. The waitress went to take it off the bill and came back and thrust the card machine in our face and we tried to say thank you and she walked off, visibly in a mood at us. Left a very sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure she's not representative of all the staff but tipping for brunch is 1. A choice 2. Not customary regardless

I walked in, then straight back out...you want me to listen to BBC radio and news bulletins whilst overpaying for an average breakfast? I think not....no staff to be seen either...

Pretty disappointing to be honest. Service was friendly enough but the food was pretty average. We had the Irish and English breakfasts and neither were great. The Irish in particular was dry and lacking taste. Also felt the portions were a bit light for the price. And the soda bread didn’t bear any resemblance to what I’ve always had in Ireland - my granny wouldn’t have approved. Expected better to be honest - had much much better in lots of places.

Food was horrible and tasted like had been kept on the side for 3 days and the staff was very unhappy

Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, nice interior. Good koffee where you can add carmel or vanille syrup very good

Absolutely loved it the food was phenomenal I have not had a fry up like that for a long time it was so good the service were kind and welcoming the atmosphere was also really nice

Loved it here because of Caitlyn, she was so knowledgeable about the local areas and the places to go and I felt like I was talking to a real Mancunian!! She stayed and chatted with us and explained the menu in detail for us - we’re really indecisive!! Absolutely lovely girl !!

The vibes are immaculate the breakfast was banging

Food is cooked fresh to order and you can tell. Decided to go with the American pancake stack and it was amazing. The portion may look a little small however it is amazing value for money. £12 for fresh hot pancakes, herby sausage patty and crispy hashbrown. The only downside is the atmosphere was a bit dead but I’m blaming this on the time of day I went - it was still very inviting and comfortable and unfortunately the sausage patty was over seasoned but I truly think this is just my own taste !! is amazing though

British breakfast e with black pudding , tea and toast , baked beans, tomatoes . Just brings back childhood memories . Good was great. service spot on. No fuss.

Best breakfast and coffee I've ever had the Big Yin is amazing.

Found this place on the Happy Cow app, so took a trip to go here, got the Vegan Pancakes and a coffee, the service was table service, the staff were lovely and helpful. A great diner to kick start your day!

So the opening hours state they’re open until 10pm. The first occasion we arrived at 9:10 from Liverpool and were told the kitchen closed early. We’ve come again today from Liverpool, spent £30 on train tickets and after arriving at 8:50 we’re told “drinks only sorry, you’ve got to be seated at 8:45” when it doesn’t state that anywhere online. Asked to speak to the manager and explained we’ve travelled from Liverpool only to get “sorry, I’ll take your email”. We’ve been a couple of times and had great service, after these last two occasions I don’t know if we’ll be back. The tacos are nice but it’s not worth wasting £30 to come to a restaurant for them to not be bothered at all and state they have nothing to do with the online opening hours

Really great vegan brunch / vegan fry up. Best tofu scramble I've ever had. Reasonably priced. Cheap drinks, including a vegan bloody mary which was great. Would highly recommend for vegans.

This place has been a favourite of mine for a long time. Gorgeous food. The only thing is that it has lost its "cafe feel" now that staff are on tablets and you can only pay by card.

Nice restaurant for a delicious English breakfast. Friendly service

Ok English breakfast & fantastic service!

Great place to start off the day.. Few beers and some food. Lovley

Absolutely love the Big Yin!! Scottish Breakfasts are the best!!

Sound place morning or night. Chilled vibes.

Best spot for hair-of-the-dog brekkie. I used to work here and am still coming back - in my opinion probably the best seal of approval a restaurant/caff/pub can get.

My favourite brunch spot in Manchester

A bit late with this review but just over a year ago myself and my girlfriend took a trip to Manchester and ended up the iconic 'Koffee Pot' for a meal we would never forget! After walking in from a rainy Manchester morning, we were greeted with warm welcoming smiles by the staff who took our jackets and seated us straight away. With such a top vibe and friendly service we ordered two unbelievably tasty smoothies followed by the best brekkie in the town! After we were done eating we got chatting to a lovely chap who worked there called Sam, a gem of a bloke who gave us some pointers of where to go next on our journey. So easy to talk too, and such a genuine fella, it felt like we'd known him for years...with people like him there it's not hard to see why the Koffee Pot is still a top quality institution. Funnily enough, the day we were leaving we randomly bumped into Sam in a David Lloyd...it's as if he knew we wanted to say goodbye ;)

A super friendly diner with a great menu - I had the Turkish Eggs which turned out to be a great choice for brunch. Highly recommended 👍🏻

I love love love this place. Food is awesome and the staff are so friendly

This place under promises on the outside and over delivers on the inside. It looks like your average high street cafe, then you step in to a quirky cool place to eat. Service was perfect & food was 5 star, definitely worth the money. I would recommend this place for breakfast we had the Manc Muffins and they are better than a McDonalds one.

They offer a delicious vegan English breakfast 😍 we come here everytime we visit Manchester. I only wish it included a couple more hashbrowns 🤭 This time we also tried their All American pancakes and they were also yummy. Their filter coffee is also good, and they don’t charge extra for oat milk! 🎉 On top of that, our waitress (white girl with dark hair in a braid) was super friendly with us and all her tables🫶🏻 We’ll keep coming back everyone’s we’re in Manchester.

What a great place, a proper fry up. Good menu for all day breakfast stuff. American waitress was fantastic, can’t fault the service at all. Will be back!

had the vegan royale. scabled tofu was too runny. There are better products out there. Taste was okay overall though.

Really nice place for breakfast if visiting Manchester. Food was delish we had Turkish eggs and American pancakes. Reasonable prices and the staff were really friendly.

Had the full English and it was delicious. Service was great as well.

Great place, staff are all friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and huge, I had the Manc Muffin which was great and the best bloody mary I've ever had.

Evening food was just ok. No cutlery provided. Service was slow and part of the order was missed. The staff were friendly and helpful so maybe it was the kitchen sending out things slowly. Not the warmest of places, many people wire coats.

Abbie took great care of us, we had a great experience. Food was delicious and she went above and beyond for me and my friends! Highly recommend this place food is delicious.

Very squeaky tables outside but it's not a problem because the staff are great and the food comes a close second to them

Amazing breakfast! Loads of different options.

Tuesday 10th December 2024 Today, this Manchester cafe was used It is a big spacious friendly well looked after cafe with good toilet facilities The staff are on top of cleaning tables of used plates and friendly and polite. The cafe is in Manchesters northern quarter, so northern Quarters prices apply The cafe has a great choice of meat and vegan breakfasts I had the a ,,Big Yin, with a white pudding instead of A Black pudding. Picture of breakfast on the cafes website. This lovely cafe I will be using again when in Manchester

In for Sunday brunch. Had a wee wait for a table but worth it. Food good. Bloody Mary’s excellent. And good tunes too.

Tengo arfid y me resulta muy difícil comer en cualquier parte de Manchester porque todo es muy quisquilloso. No había opciones de lados en el menú para tostadas o hasbrowns, etc, que creo que sería una buena idea, sin embargo, la joven que nos sirvió era tan servicial y me ordenó algo que realmente aprecio! Hemos estado aquí para comer y desayunar un par de veces y nos gusta la sensación general del lugar y el personal siempre ha sido agradable. Creo que es un poco caro, pero la mayoría de los lugares en Manchester son

The best brunch spot in Manchester. The service from the whole team was amazing. We brought our puppy and he was made to feel welcome and comfortable. I seriously suggest getting the Manc Muffin! Will be back

Lovely vegan meal, and reasonably priced

Why on earth would you forbid customers from having baked beans with two of your most expensive breakfasts? I don't even care about the no substitutions policy. All I really wanted was haggis and eggs, but OK that's not allowed, so the big yin and don't have the stuff I don't want... Sausage, square sausage, tomato, black pudding, same price... Fine (well, a bit crap but understandable), but still only 1 egg and you can't order beans. If you want beans have a full English. If you want haggis have a big yin. You can't have both. Waitress obviously totally uninterested in helping. So make sure you want *exactly* what's on the menu. I wasn't even told I could remove things until I'd basically complained. Very very disappointed and so unnecessary. I was perfectly happy to pay whatever it cost, but no.

Had the Big Yin because I was craving some haggis and needed to fuel up for a big day. Every meat was savory and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a more well-rounded meal, you may want to get something else as it did end up being quite a bit of meat. The portion sizes are deceptively big for the price, I wasn't even close to getting through it all! The staff was really attentive despite how busy the place was. Would definitely come back to try that Manc Breakfast next time I'm in town.

Great late breakfast to start the days drinking.

Los tacos están fuera de este mundo. Personal encantador, la carne de res birria con el consumo simplemente fenomenal. ¡Quizás hasta los mejores tacos de MCR!

Llegamos a la puerta principal para ver un por favor espere a estar sentado. Esperábamos un par de minutos cuando cada miembro del personal comenzó a darnos miradas extrañas y miradas sucias como si estuviéramos cometiendo un crimen. Todo lo que quería era un buen desayuno por la mañana, pero claramente no quería. Después de un total de 10 minutos de estar esperando un asiento, nos dijeron groseramente que no eran personas sentadas en este momento y nos dijeron que esperáramos a un lado. Había por lo menos 6 - 8 mesas libres, pero claramente demasiado ocupado para servirnos, no sé cuánto tiempo hubiéramos esperado si nos hubiéramos quedado, pero una de las peores experiencias que he tenido y el personal claramente necesita algunas habilidades de la gente porque lo que sea que estén siendo entrenados es repugnante, simplemente no respeto por los clientes en absoluto.

We arrived at the front door to see a please wait to be seated stand. We waited round for a couple of minutes when every staff member started giving us weird side eye looks and dirty looks as if we were committing a crime. All I wanted was a nice lil breakfast in the morning but clearly wasn’t wanted. After a total of 10 minutes of standing around waiting for a seat we were rudely told that they weren’t sitting people at the moment and told to wait to the side. There was at least 6-8 tables free but clearly way too busy to serve us I don’t know how long we would’ve waited if we would’ve stayed but one of the worst experiences I’ve had and the staff clearly need some people skills because whatever they’re being trained is disgusting just no respect for customers at all.

Awesome breakfast, not a big breakfast fan so had a Reuben 🥰🥰🥰👍

Fuimos a desayunar, la comida era genial y el servicio al cliente de Halle era 1 clase de calle. Volveré a ir de nuevo cuando en Manchester, lo recomendaría a fondo.

Excellent Breakfast. Ham n eggs

Excellent service, good was delicious and lovely cosy atmosphere

Best Full English in Manchester city centre.

Yesterday, I went to buy a cup of coffee when I tasted my coffee. I observed that it’s bitsmelly. when I called staff and I got that milk was expired. @Alina5111 from telegram

Service was how it should be! Absolute pleasure dining and the staff have got it spot on!

the guy wrote in telegram to leave a 5 star review and said he would pay after the question when he would give the money he deleted the account. Scam

Really good food, lovely atmosphere and amazing service. Good prices too if you want a good meal but not break the bank

Mi nieto me trajo aquí y tuve algo llamado “Irish Fry” y fue el desayuno más sabroso, pedimos panqueques pero solo podía comer alrededor de 1/2 porque estaba tan lleno, pero qué lugar tan bonito era y tan bueno ver a un montón de jóvenes divirtiéndose. La camarera era muy amable también. Gracias. Lorraine

Came here this afternoon for tacos 🌮 but was too early 😫 Stayed and had a late breakfast, I had a full English and my wife had pancakes 🥞, Both were absolutely spot on, Staff are excellent and really nice..

Great vegan breakfast, attentive service and great music.

Amazing to get a michelada with a big Irish breakfast which was absolutely delicious and I didn't have to eat anything else that day and we went out dancing all night long! I've always been skeptical about haggis but I'm a fan now! Lovely place with great service. We recommend strongly!

Lovely place with good food, had great experiences before. Today our waitress was very rude though, we asked to take the high (and also optional!) service charge off, and she instantly switched up and started blaming us for her mistakes. She also then clearly went to gossip with her coworkers about us. Ruined our brunch!

Nice food with a decent atmosphere however during our brunch today when we asked to remove the optional service charge which we felt was not necessary considering the fact service was of basic standard, the waitress tried to sneak the service charge in anyways and when we tried to bring it up she told us to “check our maths”. Funnily enough when we triple checked everything was correct when she returned the bill was now what we said we owed and that it was never the price she had originally said. And when we were leaving we noticed she was visibly talking rudely about us to her coworkers. As someone who works in hospitality myself I find it Distasteful.

Absolutamente fantástico desayuno vegano y vegetariano. Gran ambiente y servicio. Si viviera más cerca comería aquí regularmente 😊

got the vegan breakfast and the full english, both were absolutely amazing!! The staff were so friendly despite it being super busy, food came incredibly quickly and the prices are amazing. Highly recommend!!

The best vegan English breakfast I've ever had! incredible service and a super well decorated and vibey place !! so slay will be bringing everyone I know here 🫶🏻✨ also unreal cream soda 🤌🏻

Absolutely banging breakfast! Arguably the best I’ve ever had! Love the vibe, great staff, will be back.

Fantastic food. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic service. Food was unbelievably nice. Been following on Instagram for a while and glad to have finally gone. Well worth a visit.

Best Beef Bira Tacos in Manchester, will ALWAYS go back just because of how absolutely amazing they are. Nachos are good too and the cocktails are pretty good especially when it’s happy hour! Service could be a bit friendlier but it doesn’t take away from the amazing food. 10/10

Second time back to the Koffee Pot. Just what you need after a long night on the sauce. Had a Big Yin with added Spam (no egg as they are farts in solid form), simply lovely. Wife had a vegan brekkie which she said was great.

Me encanta este lugar, ambiente retro, buena comida y un servicio rápido amable y atento. Abby era increíble y nos cuidó bien. ¡Volveremos!

Nice place with nice service. The Full English breakfast was delicious. The waitress was very nice and smiling ;) The coffee could be better.

Tried this place because of the reviews and we were disappointed. Not a particularly warm welcome, service wasn't amazing, food was rubbish - as we walked in I clocked abandoned plates with maybe a mouthful eaten, that should have been our heads up that the food wasn't great but we gave it a try anyway. Menu states don't ask for alterations or substitutes..... how wasteful if you don't like particular food items, you can't ask for your meal without them. Rather ridiculous. Music is quite loud but decent, it's a little on the chilly side and napkins and cutlery looked a bit grubby. Given the service isn't all that, the charge/tip automatically added to the bill isn't it. Didn't question it, paid and left. We wouldn't return.

If you are looking for a place for a decent breakfast at a reasonable price, here it is

Had the best vegan breakfast ever.Loads of yummy toasts to go with it !

Popped in for an early morning breakfast - top tuicker and fast service.

A Manchester institution. The Turkish eggs and the Manc muffin are a standout. The Irish breakfast isn’t great or the Oreo milkshake. But the bloody Mary’s are 10/10.

Averagely nice ambience and breakfast.

Gracias chicos realmente disfrutamos de nuestro viaje gran comida muy auténtico e interesante sabor gran relación calidad-precio y gran vibra Volveremos, sin duda tendremos el pollo es delicioso

Came with a big group on a Saturday morning - really friendly staff, great drinks and food was delicious!

Thank you Eleanor for a fab breakfast, perfect service!

The vegan breakfast is a must try. The pancakes are also unreal. More expensive than I expected it would be

Helpful staff, bit expensive but the closest thing to a proper cafe still going in the North quarter, so much more character than other places around there.

Probably my favourite full English in the city centre. There's a reason it's such a wait to get in on the weekend.

Spot on breakfast, great service. A justifiably busy spot. Fair value. Would certainly recommend.

consome no flavor, guacamole is a mish mash tortilla chips old and tuff not fresh as they say vibe is good, waiters are great food can be better it just needs more love

Loved this place. Delicious fry up and coffee. The black pudding was so tasty!

A little pushy and stressful service, the waitresses are running everywhere, maybe they are a little stressed themselves? Pay attention to your employees! Otherwise very friendly. Mid-range food, a smoothie with 3 ingredients for over £6. I found it to be expensive overall for what it was. Super cool decor but noisy atmosphere.

Un gran lugar para el desayuno. Fuimos el domingo por la mañana. Estaba ocupado, pero el personal afortunadamente logró conseguirnos una mesa. Uno de nosotros desayunó vegetariano y yo opté por el escocés (haggis, salchicha cuadrada... las obras). Ambas comidas deliciosas. El personal era excelente también y el lugar tiene un ambiente muy relajado y amable. Tenga en cuenta que solo toman tarjetas no efectivo para el pago. Definitivamente volveré.
