The Koffee Pot Bar & Cafe in Manchester

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 !

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.

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

Averagely nice ambience and breakfast.

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.

When your breakfast comes and your tea is still hot, you know you're having a good day.

Really delicious cafe here in Manchester. Service was amazing and friendly. Food was deliciously and not too expensive either. Only thing I’d avoid was the orange juice.

Fantastic chilled atmosphere on a Sunday morning. Staff were great, music fab and the full English breakfast was absolutely spot on

Had the Irish breakfast with scrambled egg. Was huge plate full. My friend also had the Irish but with fried egg and my other friend had the English with scrambled eggs. Only had one small issue the soda bread was a bit overdone but to be honest I don't think I could have eaten it anyway. No room! They knock few quid off which was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

We had an absolutely delicious breakfast here. The service is nice and fast!

Shared a few beers with a large group of tennis grown up blokes last Friday evening. Food was simple but so tasty, all hoovered up quickly by the group. Staff were excellent, looking after a group of noisy but happy chaps. To enhance your evening try a 'pickleback' Koffeepot special drink. Guaranteed to clear your tubes out. Fun night had! 👍

Absolutely love Koffee Pot, perfect cure for a hangover and the best way to start the day. Service was fast and the food was top quality as always!

Great menu and dogs friendly. lovely staff member served me, happy helpful and friendly. Everything I wanted. And hot vimpto, epic

our server Abbie was amazing! food was good as always but Abbie made our day

A little expensive for breakfast but great location and wonderful food! staff looked after our table perfectly! Highly recommend the vegan breakfast!

this place feels straight out of a movie! lovely food spot in nq with really nice staff and a great menu! i ordered the plant-based all american which was a really exciting dish as vegan breakfast options are mostly avocado-on-toast central. enjoyed every bite but would recommend going easy on the syrup and just dipping rather than drizzle !

lovely staff and great food <3 i have a dairy allergy and the server with red hair was very accomodating, really appreciated it 🩵

Easily the most useless waiting staff I have ever experienced, waited 23 minutes whilst asking on 3 separate occasions to order. Eventually left without ordering after server decided to clean table and told us she had other things to do first.

My favourite Brunch spot in Manchester. Great service, bringing you great breakfast options, superb coffee and a lovely vibe about the place. A NQ gem.

Really rad spot in Manchester I ate there had a great shakshuka and a mean espresso martini

I visited here to try the tacos which were 25% on a Tuesday. It was pretty busy when we arrived around 5pm. We were seated quickly. We ordered the beef birria tacos, the chicken tinga tacos and the Truck fries. The fries were yummy with a spicy salsa that I loved. The tacos were OK, very cheesy but not much flavour. The salsa that comes with them wasn't great, would have loved some of the spicy one from the fries. The chicken and goat is halal here.

Absolutely incredible food served at Birria Bros. Always filling, fresh and packed with flavour. Could not recommend more.

Nicest people ever run this place

Very nice atmosphere and decor. Service took a *slight* knock as the server only put the drinks order through and not the food, so we were waiting ages, but they were very nice and honest about it and gave us a free drink and discount on the bill so more than made up for it. I got the Big Yin (whatever the Scottish one is called). It was nice, but a little dry. I'll definitely be back to Koffee Pot but I'll just get something else. Be prepared to wait as they don't take bookings and it's always chocca

Average food, slow service & expensive for what it was. Small portions, average quality & taste. Proceeded to get the order wrong, and brought over someone else's food and drink. Also added an expensive service charge for a single meal. Probably wouldn't go again.

Been to this place a few times and it's always gets very busy. Some times it gets that busy that some customers have to be put on the reserve list. Its got a fine mix of people from all walks of life and as a great vibe about the place with its ever changing fairy lights running across the ceiling to the old school wooden chairs to its murals .The service is good and not to long to wait for your food. Can be a little on the pricey side but that don't stop people queueing up to get in, not in a bad location on Oldham Street Manchester well worth a visit. Its like one of the holiday cafes you get in benidorm . Good service, Good people. Great place. 👍

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

100% recommend any of their delicious tacos or the amazing breakfast they offer. Whatever time of day you go you won't be disappointed by the food. Comfy seating and great service from the staff. Definitely go and you won't regret it at all

Brilliant service, didn't eat here so cannot comment about that, I had a mocktail which was lovely, my friends enjoyed the margarita cocktails, would definitely recommend

Was amazing here! Good was so nice! I’ll deffo be back

This place is the best. Their breakfasts are amazing. Just go. That’s my advice. You won’t regret it.

A banger of a greasy spoon of a cafe! We're from Scotland nice to get some haggis and totty scones great place for a munch

Great service and gluten free/vegan options - v happy :)

Quirky burrito and cocktail place. On street seating , view of cars. Plenty of drink option. Spicy chips very nice ( meal on their own) very nice cocktails. 2 for £14 before 7pm. Lovely/ friendly waitress. Packed.

Had the Reubens and my daughter had the M burger with side of fries ….. absolutely delicious and lovely service from Victoria. Thank you so much

When we arrived we had to wait as this place was really busy which wasn't a problem. We were served by a nice gent and were then sat for food in around 10 minutes. This was very efficient and the shortest i've had to wait anywhere. We were off to a good start and then the waitresses came. We're not from Manchester so we soon realised that the people of Manchester aren't the friendliest, I'm Northern and definitely do not want to align myself with this disaster of a city. Anyway, the food was served by our disinterested waitresses and we tucked in. The tacos were okay, we were excited as birria tacos are quite rare, but we've had much better not far from Manchester (Jimmy Mack's). It was just sort of tasteless and had zero heart in it, much like the city itself. The drinks were the saving grace and were delicious. My partner tried to ask the waitress who had made our drinks to give them compliments but as my partner turned her head to simply look at the bar the waitress had taken our money and left in two seconds. This is genuinely the worst attitude from a waitress I have ever seen. I had put my card on the machine and she just left, no thank you, or have a good night, nothing. My partner said two words and before she could finish her sentence the waitress had left. We were both quite stunned at how awful the waitresses attitude were. She was like Batman, i'm quite impressed with how fast she vanished. We were served by two others, one was okay and the other again was awful and rude. I think it's just a Manchester thing after a weekend of being around the people who live in this cesspit. This is an overpriced meal served with a side of disregard. It goes without saying, we will not be returning and I'm glad to get home and be away from this city, I know why it has the word MANC in it because that's what it is and so are it's businesses. The whole city is miserable and it's not worth potentially getting mugged to be bullied by a waitress whilst you eat mediocre scabby tacos.

Amazing food and amazing waiters

I went in at 4.30pm and was approached at the ‘please wait to be seated’ sign and was promptly approached by a lady, I said I’ve just come for a cup of tea and something to eat, she said “I’m sorry we don’t serve tea at night time”, I replied “but it’s 4:30 pm”, she then said “ we stopped serving tea at 3:30pm”, I wonder if I would’ve been served a cup of coffee at the place called the Koffee pot after 3.30pm ?, I remember the Koffee pot being situated in Stevenson Square in the 70s and it was a really good café. I’ll vote with my feet and not go again.

Been here a few times for breakfast only. I like the different type of cooked breakfast options that are available on the menu. I always have the full English and my partner will have either the Scottish breakfast or Irish breakfast. The food is good quality and the price is good for what you get, although I think every breakfast should come with either free tea/coffee or a glass of fresh orange juice for a set price. The only other thing about the cafe is that every time I do come in for breakfast the building always feels cold and uncomfortable to a point I had to put my coat back on last time I visited, so maybe turn the heating up a little. Price 8/10 Service 10/10 Cleanliness 8/10

Lovely little eatery tucked in Manchester’s northern quarter. Plenty of piercing shops and clothes shops nearby for the discerning visitor. The food is delicious, simple statement. I had their vegan tortilla chips with guacamole. The chips were delicious and crisp, and the guacamole was delicious. Extremely fresh, well seasoned with plenty of lime and chilli. The drinks, food and atmosphere are great, and the price is cheaper than most places too! Shout out to the staff, lovely and attentive. You MUST try their iced coffees. One of the best iced lattes I think life ever had.

Beautiful little place to eat in the heart of the Northern Quarter. You MUST try their iced coffees, among the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, brewed perfectly and delicious. Good vegan options too! I had tortilla chips and guacamole and the flavour of the guacamole was out of this world. Zesty, fresh and spicy, with plenty of lime.

Outstanding tacos, opted for the birria beef and also the fungi ones, out of this world levels of flavour. Amazing service from staff, passionate fruit margs as a 2 for 1 went down dangerously easily!! This was a second time visit, there will be more! (we traveled 2 hours to secure the goods, well worth it!)

I had the Full Irish. Cold mushrooms, wafer thin dried out (re-heated?) bacon and the soda bread was hard enough to build walls with. The sausage was nice enough though. The service was slow and the serving staff were disinterested. Not recommended.

Breakfast in Manchester....today we decided to visit the Koffee Pot...a cool, quirky, slightly American diner style of restaurant. Their speciality...breakfasts. we chose the Irish fry and the Manc Mcmuffin....both beautiful cooked. Perfect size, great bacon, sausages, black and white pudding. One small critism...the muffin could have used an aioli dressing. That aside .Def worth visiting for a morning treat .

Your breakfast made me want to move to Manchester

Speedy, reasonably priced, very well noted allergens with vegan and gluten free options

Don’t recommend coming here for tacos if you’re vegan. I’ve seen loads of great reviews for this place and decided to try it out. The vegan meat was literally like the sole of a shoe I couldn’t even chew it and the pineapple chilli salsa was full of massive chunks of chilli with the seeds in. I can normally cope with hot food but it was ridiculously spicy! My friend who had a meat based dish had a very similar experience with the salsa so I know it’s not just me being a wuss. The chips and guac are so delicious but I definitely won’t be going back for anything else.

Recommend the all American pancakes. Super yummy and perfect portions. Service was excellent, we were served straight away, the staff were very friendly and kind. The whole place had a very chilled atmosphere.

Me and my family went on a day trip to Manchester and visited the KP. From the very start we were met by the lovely staff including Steven who was so polite and treated us like we were royalty. We had two full English and one pancake, both were delicious and amazing value. We will be back. Thanks again team, keep up the good work. Martin, Liz and Willow.

Really tasty food, great vegan options! A cool vibe too!! Got the vegan breakfast and the vegan pancake stack.

One of Manchesters little hidden gems, if you haven’t tried it. Then run don’t walk as they really do have so much to offer. The breakfast, drinks, and pancake stacks are amazing. It’s that great I’ve now decided, to make it a regular Sunday Occurrence.

Sunday breakfast never tasted so good! There was a bit of a wait to be seated but it was worth it. Proper tea and a decent coffee completed our visit. Highly recommended to us and by us to you.

the food and service here is fantastic. as someone who's turkish, i was slightly skeptical about the turkish eggs. but let me tell you that was one of the best turkish breakfasts i've ever had. they also offer decaf yorkshire tea which was so great. i would definitely recommend for your trip to manchester, the place was booming and we were lucky to get a table!

Friendly, welcoming, great food and coffee

Full English was delicious! The server JJ was very sweet and polite - would recommend :)

Super yummy food but the highlight was the server ~ JJ, soooo nice! Thank you for your friendliness!

I visited on a weekday morning before a meeting, it was quiet but with some good atmosphere. I got served quickly, the service was great, and the food was amazing. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was incredible. Highly recommended - great food, great service, lovely coffee and nice and clean.

Experience for what you get but it's constantly good

The food was ok, small portions and expensive for what it was

Wanted to try this place for breakfast for ages now. Called in this morning as working around the corner. Was quiet at 9.30 am. Got a decent table straight away. Orderd the english breakfast with black pudding and a latte. Food was delicious. Can tell the bacon and sausage are butchers quality. Staff were excellent aswell. Will definitely be going back.

Beef Birria tacos were amazing. Service was super quick and staff were all really welcoming and friendly. This place is going to be a firm favourite.

The Turkish breakfast was amazing & the host was very welcoming and helpful!

Went here for the tacos - got a sharing platter between 2 people, chicharrones, taco truck fries and some drinks. Sharing platter is definitely big enough for 3 people with some extra sides or starters, and I liked that the fillings come separately so you can pick what you want in your taco. Goat birria was very good and not too spicy, and the salsas were flavourful (pineapple salsa is quite spicy!) However, tables are quite small and cramped if you’re planning on getting an assortment of things like we did, and alcoholic drinks are quite expensive (two frozen margaritas for £14 as a “happy hour deal” is expensive IMO). Chicharrones were also quite small and one piece we got was entirely fat.

Good food here and the staff are always nice. Wouldn't make any alterations for my allergy

We found it excellent here. The food was absolutely delicious!!! The Ftira was amazing & packed with such very tastey food. My father's lunch was ever so nice too. We found it extremely clean and the staff here, that are named Donna, Saran, Mary and Julia were friendly and polite. It was a pleasure to meet them all in person. I rate this place 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆ We will be coming here to enjoy the food so much and experience here! Catherine & my father Clive ❤

We researched the best breakfasts in Manchester and the Koffee Pot was one of the best. Contrary to previous reviews, we found the front of house staff to be very friendly and helpful. We had ‘The Big Yin’ breakfast which was plentiful but a bit ‘greasy spoon’. Probably the ideal hangover cure however we wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely loved it here. The food was beautiful.

Great place to eat and drink, friendly staff that make you feel welcome

Really bad food and expensive. Rubbish atmosphere.

Went to barria brother tacos and they did not disappoint very tasty n juicy the ox tongue was good n tried the spicy pork tacos they was good but not a fan of the spicy sauce on them I would definitely recommend this place

Fabulous tacos, great service. Would go again.

Abysmal management. Overheard the female manager (fairly certain someone call her vick) berating a young member of staff and speaking very inappropriately for someone who is supposed to be in control of service. If that's how staff are treated I dread to think what goes on behind closed doors. As a 14 year veteran of hospitality that alone means I won't be back. Despite clearly very poor management, the food was fairly good, and the young lady server who took the brunt of your managers poor people and management skills was extremely attentive. Had your manager spoken like that to your staff again, I would have said something. If you continue to let your managers behave in such a way, you won't have staff or a business for very long.

Brunch with my son for his birthday. Had the all day breakfast. Lovely meal! Beautifully cooked. Great presentation! Fabulous service! Thank you!!

A good brunch. The food here was good, but nothing special. Staff were friendly, but we were waiting for a considerable time before we were seen to. I would be interested to try the evening Mexican menu they have.

5 stars all around. I have been traveling all around Europe and this is definitely one of the best breakfasts I had. I was very thankful to be served by the very friendly and exceptional Ste*PH*en who not only gave me great suggestions for food but also gave me great suggestions for things to try in England/Wales. Awesome atmosphere with great music and decoration. I usually don't go to places twice when traveling but I am definitely coming back to try their tacos in the evening! Bravo!

A really cool place with really good food - we went at a really busy time and had to queue for a table but were seated within 20mins, and were able to put our names down and come back so we could explore some of the local shops. There are a range of veggie options and everything was excellent - we were all thoroughly stuffed. Would totally recommend a visit.

The birria ramen and the tacos are spectacular. One of my favorite places ❤️

First time at the Koffee Pot / Tacos. Food was nice and service and atmosphere good. However within 3 hours of eating there both myself and my partner suffered from really bad stomach problems. Acid reflux, heart burn and indigestion initially but by end of evening thorough to the next day really bad diarrhoea and stomach cramps. The whole of next day we were both really ill with diarrhoea and nausea. Real shame as the food tasted ok

Food was very bland, but service was great and the place felt like a genuine post, after-party recovery spot

The food was good in flavour and quality though the nachos had too much cheese sauce and fried beans. I could use another fork or a spoon on the table to put the chopped onion and the salsas on my food. The service on the other hand, was between bad and horrific. As a chef and a food enthusiast I like to read the menu in detail. Yet a verry loud waitres was making a lot of pressure to hurry up and order. I was forced to order somthing almost at random, the menu was then snached from my hand and taken away and i didnt have the chance to read it properly. She then continued to try to clear the table before we were done (we were almost there). My wife told her to back off and that she is ruining our experience and when we ordered another drink from the manager the manager sent her to get it and she refused to serve us very loudly. Over all we didnt enjoy our time due to bad service. At these very high prices, I would expect to at least enjoy my time.

Hearty breakfast, though not as big as I’d expected from reading other reviews! Fresh and tasty though and the coffee was really good.

Your front of house said these exact words “you can go you are actually annoying me” the worst service ever all I asked was what is happening why can’t we get served she said this in front of potential customers who then all left how bad is that proper disgusting

Incredibly rude front of house staff. They were experiencing issues with their POS system however after waiting a considerable time a member of front of house approached us to tell us if they didn’t resolve the issues they wouldn’t be taking any further orders. However during this exchange my friend was told “you can go you’re actually annoying me.” I think an appreciation needs to be made that customers are what keep those places in business. I’d recommend either speaking to or reliving of duties that member of staff. I’ve been frequenting Koffee Pot and since Covid Birria Brothers for years and that particular member of staff is a very bad front for your business

Great food, great service,good price

Met with Family and friends for a breakfast 😋

Wanted to visit here for some time now so my expectations were high and my expectations were definitely met! Great breakfast and atmosphere! Didn’t have to wait too long for a table and the price was reasonable. Will definitely be back!

Came here with friends for brunch, perfect cure for a hangover, food was really good and JJ was an amazing waiter! Would definitely come back :)

I pre-booked a large table at Koffee Pot for a Hen Do for Sunday brunch and I can’t fault their service. They were really easy to communicate with over email and weren’t fazed at all on the day by last minute changes. Would recommend the service and food to anyone!

A Manc institution, plain and simple
