Toast in Manchester

Staff were nice and the cafe was lovely but I ordered beans on toast with some extra cheese and when it arrived the pot of beans on the side was quite small. It came to £7.50 so for that price I was hoping for a little more beans, especially as the menu states "a big pot of beans"

Lady at till was so rude today because she thought id asked for take out food and drink even though I was sat comfortably at the table after taking my coat off. The food was placed in front of me in takeaway containers. I asked for a plate and proper cup and was told “you said take out” to which the staff member snatched it off the table and spilled the coffee everywhere and put the food on a plate and coffee in a mug. She was extremely rude this was my first time there as my usual cafe local to there was closed. Needless to say I will not be dining in there again this was appalling behaviour. On the plus side the food was nice.

Fantastic breakfasts. Top quality produce

Lovely brunch spot in the heart of Withington. Great food, great staff, great service, great vibe. Loaded cheese and tomato toastie was delicious, as was the toast breakfast. Great value for money too!

Great service Food was lovely Could have had extra sausage and extra egg for the price of the breakfast but will return

We love this little cafe. We come in often on a Sunday morning after junior Parkrun as they’re open nice & early. Friendly staff, good food and good service. What more could you want. Baby changing facilities and plenty of high chairs too.

Absolute disgrace. Half the breakfast was cold and some of it not cooked properly. Staff have a strange attitude and are only geared towards making money and not customer service. Avoid.

Warm clean fresh foods and drinks and very helpful

I'm sure the fox is lovely, but it's 15:30 on a Saturday and its closed. 2 hours of travel for nothing. Please update your opening hours.

The food was nice, but I would expect something more for the price. I am pretty certain the toast is just generic stuff from a supermarket, and eggs and mushrooms were cooked nicely but nothing special. The latte was good. Great atmosphere inside.

Placed an order for delivery, food was okay but the portions were small and my order was wrong (I asked for a caramel latte and got given an iced one, and i ordered a croissant which was missing when the food arrived). Tried to phone multiple times to let them know but there was no answer.

As I am wheat intolerant I can sometimes find it hard to get something other than a fry up. So it's nice to know that they cater for Coeliacs. The service was very good & the staff were very friendly & helpful. The bacon & brie toastie was delicious.

Had a lovely lunch with my daughter and dog. Staff were lovely and friendly, and very attentive. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. It was lovely and clean inside, and my dog Ruby was treated to lots of belly rubs and pieces of sausage courtesy of the lovely ladies that work here. It's Ruby's new favourite place!🐶🐶🐶

It's a great little cafe, fresh food and good service. Its improved a lot since the last entitled chef got the boot 😁

Friendly and has a nice atmosphere . Staff were friendly and service was quick. Will definitely visit again next

great place the food was great will be going back again, staff were nice. i think service was great.

Based on a issue I had heard about this place where they wrongfully dismissed an employee which can be proven as it can also be shown that the manager does not know how to deal with customers or staff, I decided to visit this cafe and I was massively disappointed, the food lacked flavour, was very soggy and completely unacceptable.

A fantastic little Cafe that serves amazing food, especially the breakfasts!! Super friendly staff, fabulous service and the cafe boasts great decor!! 10/10!!

Ordered from here via Uber eats. The food was soaked, soggy and greasy. Borderline inedible. This place abuses that fact that delivery customers cannot return their subpar food. Had this been severed in a restaurant setting the plates would have been returned instantly. Uber eats are currently investigating this matter and the watchdogs will be alerted. Simply unacceptable and we will not be ordering from this establishment again.

Always great food and very friendly service.

Lovely, local, friendly and welcoming

Ordered 3 breakfasts and was very disappointed, eggs burnt on bottom under cooked on top the toast was just bread. Not good enough for the price also charge an extra £6 to eat in. Won't be going back

Called in while waiting for my partner. Had scrambled egg on toast and a flat white. They know how to make them properly! 6oz cup, double espresso and lovely foam. Wanted to give them 1 star cos I got exactly what I ordered, scrambled egg on toast, but then saw some of their reviews with pics of their full English Breakfast and Gourmet Burgers, etc [hint]. That would be unfair though as I should have done my bloody research first! 🤣 Didn't do a proper review of their Google Maps profile, bet they probably don't have it set up right like everyone else. Did suggest they say thank you to reviews though (especially the spud comment about the manager), keyword stuff to help the algorithm and show up for the items that make them money. This is their test and if they can find my reviews/brands, by following my name [ffs] they may learn a thing or two. But, the best thing about my first visit is the little dynamo of joy who calls everyone 'darling'. Wanted to take her home, but am not sure what my partner might say! 🤣 In case you couldn't work it out, they sell more than just blinkin' toast! 🤣 #RaiseTheFrequency to #SaveThePlanet P.S. Pay them in cash or you'll end up with #DigitalCurrency and you'll end up like those poor buggers in #China. Think it through... P.p.s - had to have an Americano and Chocolate Brownie too. Where the hell is 'Jodi Anne Law'? Costing me a fortune! [Ffs]. 🤣

Absolutely incredible breakfast, lovely staff and very nice set up, clear menus and great selection of drinks and snacks and even the odd beer :) Definitely recommend this place for great scran. Fresh squeezed orange juice too :)

TOAST offers really good breakfast and brunch options for a reasonable price considering its location. I visited and had a Full English Breakfast, it was exactly what I wanted with each element of the breakfast cooked perfectly. My partner had a "build your own" bagel which she was also very happy with! Quality of service was high with a very friendly and helpful lady serving us and the food and drinks coming out in good time also. This was especially impressive given it I visited on a Saturday morning which I imagine is peak time. Great place and will definitely be back!

Amazing bagels and iced coffee… go weekly

The food is banging. Ordered take away and it came in 10 minutes. Fat portion. Good ingredients. Worth the money. Not surprised it gets busy in the venue.

Staff are great but the manager seems like a right spud

Great breakfast when I needed it.

My partner and I visited TOAST to grab some brunch on the go and I could not recommend it enough. The food was great, hot and tasty and the coffee is really good too. The portions are amazing for the price. The best thing about this place though is the service. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and lovely, we will definitely be returning there again. Thank you for the yummy breakfast ciabatta! ⬇️⬇️ Update, second visit Nov 2021(with photos) Took some friends who were visiting us from Wales to TOAST for a good ol' fry up and coffee this morning, and we all left with full happy bellies. 3 TOAST breakfasts and a chicken chorizo melt, all were delicious. Very reasonable price for what you get and for the quality of the food. Only one minor moment, where a waitress was a bit rude, when we politely mentioned when our food arrived that we hadn't had our coffees yet, as she stated "well we're actually a bit busy" which of course we could see, and we've all worked in cafes/restaurants so we know what it's like and felt we didn't quite deserve the comment. We were only trying to let her know. But as I said - we've all had the experience of how stressful it can get when it gets busy and it didn't ruin the morning overall. **UPDATE: Third visit was an absolute let down. This is very unfortunate. We were only a table of two. We were overlooked to be served, with several tables around us having their orders taken despite coming in well after we did. They were very busy and understaffed as it seemed, so we weren't able to catch someone's attention to ask them because they were having to rush around. We waited for an hour, and still hadn't received our food. All we ordered were 2 breakfasts and 2 filter coffees. The coffee was lukewarm. A really disappointing visit.

Having set off from Cumbria at 5.30am on a cold and dark Saturday morning it was a great to sit in Toast and be filled to the brim with a great breakfast and good coffee. On the expensive side, but I expect that reflects the costs of late 2022 and the quality of the food they use. Thank you.

We wanted somewhere to have breakfast but not somewhere that is a chain, one google search later and we found here and we are so glad we did. The food was amazing we were very happy with the standard of food. Good quality, good amount, music wasn't too loud and great choice. The no laptop rule is a great idea as it meant people were talking and not just blocking tables with one person all day long. When we are back in this area we will definitely be coming back to enjoy another breakfast or a meal. Great service and not overly expensive. Thank you again

Mate, Breakfast done well! Service was great, very little wait even though they were busy. Filing and very reasonably priced!

In all honesty, it’s not as great as it used to be. Ordered two full English breakfasts (home delivery), one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had, and also one of the most expensive. To start with, it would’ve been nice if bacon and sausage wasn’t cremated. Bacon was burned so badly, they should’ve sent an urn for us to store it. I don’t know how could someone look at that food and allow it to leave the kitchen, it was terrible. Only one piece of toast for breakfast, considering the place is called toast, is a bit sad. If you want to charge £30 for two breakfasts at least make them good, don’t burn stuff. Burton road bakery is just down the road, half the price and so so much better quality.

Very friendly staff quick service excellent food the only down fall upstairs toilet

Callum Newby cannot read a menu to save his life

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime and was really impressed with the food! Service to place our order was a tad slow, possibly due to how busy it was (making it quite loud inside too), but once we’d ordered the food arrived promptly. I settled on a panini and chips, and really enjoyed it - lots of flavour and a good portion size! overall was a lovely brunch spot, and would visit again if lived nearer!

Even though the food looked nice, my full very expensive breakfast was cold, I don’t know why it was cold as not a lot of customers and I should of sent it back I know, my daughters sandwich was nice, For 2 of us it cost over £30, for that much we could of gone out at night and had steak etc, It was expensive to say the least and cold food and will not be returning. Staff were very pleasant

Really enjoyable breakfast and coffee, very friendly staff.

First time visit, really enjoyed the experience here, great care and customer service which really comes through despite being very busy, at the time. Food was top quality, clean and could tell that everything was made fresh. Will be sure to visit again!

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and lovely staff

I had a fry up breakfast here and it was swimming in oil was really disappointed and wasn’t nice at all

To be honest I would not come back for a couple of reasons. Even though the staff was nice they we a bit incompetent. Our waitress came back after we’ve ordered to say they didn’t have a veggie burger but we could go for a falafel just to come back 5 min later to say they didn’t have falafel 😆 They kept adding stuff to our bill for ordering extra sauce and spinach. It’s very capitalistic We were a group of 4 and everyone payed except one person forgot to pay for her coffee and as a gesture of good will I’d remove it from the bill instead I had to pay for someone’s coffee and they said “you could chase them for it” to which I replied “it’s £2.30, not worth it.” It’s a bit rude in British culture. If it was me being a waiter I’d just scratch it from the bill.

Excellent tasty food, and lovely staff

Really nice breakfast selection and various smoothies. Ideal to heal a hangover or a relaxed day.

We visited this cafe for the first time 12.7.22 while helping our daughter move into her new home. The cafe was very clean the staff friendly and welcoming. Our food and drinks were delicious. My daughter eats out alot and can be a stern critic however even she was impressed! So to recap Excellent friendly service delicious food Clean Will I visit again? yes Do I recommend? yes

Tasty food. Could do with some sound deadining wall material. 👂👂

We we’re told there was a 20min wait on food before we ordered. We ended up waiting 55mins. The cutlery and glass cups were dirty. The food wasn’t worth the money, we even queued 7mins to pay for it. Terrible service, I won’t be returning.

Mixed. Some stuff like the hash browns were great but the coffee wasn’t great and mistakes were made on the order. The staff were super helpful and lovely though.

Don't allow laptops in a primarily student town. Objectively backwards

£1.75 for some ketchup on Deliveroo, absolute jokers.

Great for breakfast brunch and lunch

Excellent food, lovley service and nice atmosphere!

Place was very busy, not too cramped but you could tell it was popular! Our server forgot about us after they forgot to inform us they ran out of Burgers. Other than that the food was quite greasy. But still good!

I have been before a couple of times..called in on my own today...Great veggie bagel brunch and coffee ...Read a couple of the reviews from the past where some people haven't responded favourably...I know people who like other establishments very nearby that I don't so I can only write as I see it..really good on every occasion I have been ...price..well you kind of get what you pay for and just what is cheap these days? Free bottled water ...paying for ketchup ? It was on the table ....friendly service for me and everyone else that I witnessed...ill be back...thanks Mike

I've been to toast a few times now and have had a great experience everytime. I'm always met with the same lovely lady who seats me and serves me with kindness and professionalism. The food is great and comes quickly, means I can eat here on my hour lunch break. A cute place! Also has a good menu, I'm vegan and I always find something I want!

Great breakfast, great atmosphere and great service

Do not get the burgers, greasy af ☹️

Visiting the area for the day and popped in for lunch. Food was delicious and the service was great. It was very busy when we went in but plenty of seating upstairs, can’t fault anything and the welcome was very warm, would definitely go again.

My go to order for a rough morning. Their all day breakfast rolls are to die for and their coffee is very pleasant. Only issues is one occasion of receiving a wrong order from delivery (only one out of 10 or so orders) and sometimes can leave you feeling slightly too heavy. Would highly recommend and would be 5 stars without these two minor issues Edit: Have now gone in person and the experience is fantastic. Food is a little cheaper and the service is brilliant. 5 stars based on the in person experience

This place is fab!! We enjoyed the lunch menu rather early! Staff, surroundings and food all first class! We will be back! Thank you!

Great food, huge portions but a lite bite and gluten free option, also veggie and vegan so win win. Staff soooo lovely....we love it....💛💙

The chef here does the BEST burgers in Manchester in Toast….and that’s not even the main reason I go here for mostly midweek lunch or brunch. I recommend the brunch burger with its egg and bonus hash brown. The breakfast, bagels melts and coffee are all excellent. Keep up the good work Toast!

Just had the breakfast melt, sausage and egg and cheese. Clean, tidy and tasty, what more could you ask for, we'll be back

My son Arshaan loved their hot chocolate! Arshaan thinks these guys are better than Starbucks!

Superb little cafe serving up top quality food & drinks. Service was very friendly & efficient . Nice atmosphere!!.. we will definitely be back!!..10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely little café with a warm and friendly welcome. Good choice of brunch, toasties, paninis, burgers, etc. Good range of choices for vegetarians and vegans. Huge portions!

New favourite. Happened to be walking past in a lull on a Saturday afternoon and managed to get a table. Good selection of food, Nice coffee and good portion for price. Good to see places like this popping up and reviving Withington centre. Definitely be back🙂

Very disappointing. Turned up waiting patiently to be seated and was completely ignored: not even the slightest acknowledgement of my presence. After several more minutes of disbelief at the lack of engagement, I left.

Simple and uncomplicated food with a good selection of hot drinks served with a smile.

Really great breakfast and lovely staff. Xx

Always have a lovely breakfast here, with friendly and helpful staff

Good hangover cure. Will be back. Loads of veggie/vegan options

Good breakfast don't do gluten free options. Vegan options are available

Far and away the best breakfast for miles. Lovely staff. Fantastic. Big thank you to everyone who make this a great eating experience.

Thank you Good staff and good service

Affordable and friendly staff. Would recommend for a breakfast and coffee

Really friendly staff, great sandwiches!!

Such a shame really try to support local business but 3 times have had my order incorrect. Twice missing order and third time random man rider delivered. Thank goodness for deliveroo full refund. Would not use again don’t see any excuse especially with a price increase.

had a lovely visit here last week when it was sunny, very quick service and delicious food, we’ll be back:))

Decent breakfast place! Plenty of vegan options available.

Had breakfast for the 1st time at toast today, lovely environment, food great and coffee is excellent.

The cafe itself was good but for the local a bit pricey. The water came in a glass bottle but the servers were pleasant. Wouldn’t be rushing back solely for the location being on a main road and the menu pricing

Perfect food with very good prices!!! Very taste

Poor hardworking staff with an owner who states publicly that if diner's don't pay the bill he will take the staff tips! Show's lack of respect for his staff and contempt for the customers who think the gratuity is for the staff.

Best breakfast in Withington, hands down! Friendly staff and quick service.

Terrible business practices, just look at the way they're arrogant when they respond to reviews. Steer clear of here.

Quality service, incredible brunch bagels and take away containers you can actually recycle!

Threatened to take a walk-outs bill from staff tips. Instead of complaining about customers giving low tips and not subsiding your staff wages as much as you'd like, why not pay your staff more?

They tried to take staff tips to pay for food when some lads did a runner. Obviously morally bankrupt. Also check out the mature way the owner handles criticism below.

Imagine taking staff tips because some people did a runner.

Loved the food from here, will be coming back and leaving a tip next time

Where do I start? I made the terrible decision of going this cafe for a breakfast. What I was servered can only be described as sadness and misery. My plate had a huge ghastly chip on the side. I asked the staff to change the plate and was told it was fine. I braved a bite of the bap, but could only think about the chipped ceramics potentially inside my overpriced cold breakfast bap. I was baffled that anywhere could possibly mess toast up but this place went above and beyond to be disappointing. Even their Instagram hosts an array of chipped plates. Attached is a picture to prove it. I can't recommend NOT going here enough. Do yourself a favour have a McDonald's or similar.

Never been. Just wanted to post a 5-star review for the owner's response to the guy complaining about his expensive £10 Deliveroo order.

Amazing place but I don't get how they charge most things in store for around £4.50 but on any delivery apps they charge you around £7.50 would like to know why it's such a big difference?

Order to take out but friendly staff. BBQ chicken and bacon toasty was fantastic, we will be going again, I would highly recommend for breakfast/brunch!

A tenner for a sausage and bacon butty with a black coffee Tomato ketchup is an optional extra at £1.70 per dip pot (top tip, get 90% extra free for £1.30 at the shop a few doors down) At least burglars aren't dressing themselves up as something else when obtaining their ill gotten gains Hopefully this is more informative, apologies for just wanting to put a 1 star review in without words, I like to reserve my written reviews for positive feedback but, you asked, so I will grant your wish... (I like how none of the unworded 5 star reviews are lazy and uninformative too, such class!)

Great quality coffee and amazing for brunch can't wait for it to open back again for indoor dining because its got such a nice vibe in here

I'm not vegan, but love their vegan brunch bagel. It's a weekly treat for me and my work colleagues. It's not cheap, but it's lovely!!

Been here before covid and the full English was 10/10. I had a toastie, flat white and skin on fries delivered this morning and the quality of the food was amazing! Usually quality is understandably lost when you order food via Uber eats but even...
