The Pavilion Cafe in Manchester

Lovely neighbourhood cafe with sandwiches, cakes, sausage rolls, icecream, coffee etc.

A wonderful spot for delicious meals and great service. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Fast service and high quality food for a decent price

Sub-average food that took them 25 mins (2 x sandwich) to make despite it being completely quiet... Bevsuse the lad who served us did and then made his own lunch and at it in front of us. We missed our bus as a result. Worst, it just totally ruined what was a lovely day. I'm used to being overcharged these days but when it's service like this this it just makes you want to never leave the house.

The food was good, the drink was bad the service was appalling. Why hire people without basic customer service skills? They want you to order food at one area and drinks at another that's fine that makes sense, yet the don't bother to have anyone staffing the food section. So we went to order food where you order drinks as there was someone there, a pretty reasonable thing to do. Yet the young woman on the till, maybe a seasonal hire, looked at us as though we were scum. She said you order food over there, gesturing as you might at a nuisance. I said we were just over there and no one was there, she just didn't say anything and it took one of her colleagues to be like oh there's someone over there now. We had to go back through the line of people to find the food counter and felt embarrassed, there was no word of apology for the what had happened or the fact no one was there either. We were treated like a pest. Eventually we order at the correct area and went back to the previous member of staff to pay for everything, no sorry about that again, no she wouldn't even make eye contact with us. Honeslty at several points in that interaction I considered just leaving and not giving them my money but it was a hot day. Anyway the food came pretty quickly and it was okay-good, but the drink, a milkshake, took them a good twenty minutes to make and tasted like they had run out of milk or ice cream and were now just using water to fill the milkshake cup up with. It's pretty hard to make a bad milkshake yet they did just that.

It is available in Didsbury park. Good place to have coffee and snacks with family.

Limited menu not enough tables and chairs outside. Food ok.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Never ever in my life have I ever been to a place so terrible. All the tables and cutlery were dirty. 15 minutes I waited for a spoon to stir sugar in my tea which they had no white sugar and was asking me to look in boxes myself to see of they had any! 3 members of staff ignored my requests and provided the worst customer service I've ever received upon the manager coming out to tell me there are spoons there my response was after finding dirty spoons in the pot lay on top of each other why would u want any of them. He began to speak to me with an attitude involving himself in a conversation I was having with my friend about the poor service then acted suprised I then myself proceeded to have an attitude. I asked him hiw in earth they have a 5 star food hygiene rating as I've never been in such a dirty place paying 36 pound to clean up urself find sugar myself and serve myself lol I do.not recommend going here even though it is the only local cafe if you are in the park. Lucky for them or it would defo be closed down does anyone know how I report them to food standards.

Lovely coffee and great café with a range of options :)

Didn’t seem the cleanest, and I was given chocolate milk instead of a chocolate milkshake. It wasn’t even cold, which considering it is milk made it too unpleasant to drink. Waste of money.

I can't comment on food as I've only ever bought drinks and ice cream tubs from here but the food does look delicious! This is the only place I think I've ever been to where the staff are young but excellent at their jobs! They're all so polite and professional. There was a young lad on the till on Sunday who was so confident at what he was doing, gave eye contact, excellent customer service and just brilliant all round to he point my own 15year old pointed out how good he was at his job. A credit to the business and his parents.

Lovely park and cafe. Had a tuna melt toastie, absolutely delicious. Only down side was only one toilet which had a permanent queue

Friendly staff very helpful and welcoming.

Really friendly, great food and coffee.

Lovely coffee with a nice atmosphere. More charming than bigger chains *cough* Costa *cough*

Feels like a family run business, everyone’s so friendly! Some customers were being rude and they dealt with it very well, I’m impressed I wouldn’t of kept my cool with what I saw!!

A chocolate brownie to die for, I came here for a quick drink with a friend on a Sunday and it was perfect, we still talking about the brownies today. The staff are lovely and it's a good place to sit and people watch for a few hours. On a revisit and with new management I should mention the egg or bacon sandwiches are perfect now too.

Lovely charity cafè. Great selection of food (even for vegans) and friendly caring staff. Park itself if great to walk your dog so if you're in need for a hot drink while doing so, this is the place to go!

Ordered a flat white and babyccino today. Expected something nice as they have a seemingly good machine, but the coffee was really disappointing. So much foam like it’s made out of an express machine. The price was £2.80 and the really small babyccino was £1. Not sure if this is a charity run cafe? I absolutely love the events by Didsbury Good Neighbours though.

Used to love this cafe but shocked to see how prices suddenly increased. Little children's ice lollies they get from Aldi for about 10p used to be 60p - that was fine. Suddenly £1. 70p for a banana… prices been hiked across the menu WAY above inflation. This was, until very recently, a lovely little park cafe serving the local community. The focus seems to have become making as much money as possible.

Best takeaway coffee in Didsbury village and great cakes 😊

service was great !! lovely delights for a warm day. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Café encantador El personal es muy acogedor. Muchos juguetes para niños. Asientos en el exterior. Tartas caseras. Se convertirá en un habitual:)

Fuimos al parque Didsbury al sol hoy con mi hija, mi yerno y dos nietos, uno de tres días. La comida aquí fue una excelente relación calidad-precio. Anti pasti fue generoso y bueno. Compartido entre nosotros. Buen café y batido de leche excelente. En un día muy ocupado, me sorprendió lo alegre y enérgico que era el personal incluso cuando regresamos para más bebidas tarde. No sentimos ninguna presión sobre nosotros para comer y seguir adelante. Ideal para familias. Parece que ofrecen el único baño en el parque que resulta en un uso excesivo, pero es agradable ver que todos fueron bienvenidos. Un verdadero recurso comunitario.

Muy familiar - cafetería en el parque de Didsbury. Buen precio tostadas y panini, servido rápidamente. Hay muchos asientos al aire libre.

This is a very popular place. Reasonable prices help especially if you compare to the coffee chains. Only niggle is how they serve. You pay and then wait and wait. On a bank holiday this was 15 to 20 mins for two coffees as stsff were busy getting food out. Getting drinks out when you pay is better and getting staff organised for such an approach would clearly offer benefits.
