Trove in Manchester

First visit to this cafe on Stockport Road. Overall, a very nice experience and would recommend. Lovely eggs florentine although could have done with an extra slice of toast for the price. Unfortunately no cakes or pastries today so went with a bowl of lentil soup which was excellent with lovely sourdough bread. Sadly no loaves of bread to buy though. Customer service was reasonable although could do with a bit more friendliness (which is the case for 80% of cafes & restaurants in this country!) and stops me giving 5 stars. Make your customers feel important and welcome guys!

Delicious Eggs Benedict...and coffee However disappointed to find that there was not any bread for sale in the shop shortly after 11am

Trove have lost it. Been going here (Levenshulme) since they first opened. Went on Sunday, they have 3 single cakes in the cabinet at 12noon. We wait for a table even though the place is mainly empty. get sat down 5-10 mins later and we're told there's no bacon or sausages. OK, we'll manage. So we go back over the menu then place our order. Eggs florentine. 5 mins later waitress returns: sorry there's no cavallo Nero for the florentine. We can serve it without and won't charge full price. Ok can we have the french toast? sorry no french toast today. Maybe get a sign outside to say all you have is eggs and bread then we wouldn't have bothered waiting for a table and being drip fed the news that you have no food. End result: sat in a cold cafe with over salted over priced scrambled eggs on burnt toast. I'd put my last bad experience here down to chance. Honestly, can't see myself ever returning. Manchester is full of competition and places grateful for the customers.

Delicious food and coffee and friendly service. We had the eggs florentine with homemade brown sauce, so tasty. Couldn’t resist some cinnamon buns to take away for later - happy to report they were heavenly!

Vegans and vegetarian beware Worst place ever to eat. Didnt tell us that their sausages are not vegan All religious persons and vegans please avoid or confirm everything is vegan before placing order Made us pay for something we didnt eat and no apology provided

Horrible and rude customer service order vegan and vegetarian breakfast and gave us meat sausage without an apology or grief made us pay for food though we left it half the way Manager is absolute sum and RACIST...

friendly place , lovely service , good food , love to try their unusual cake but also bit pricey though.

Such excellent bread. Expensive but so worth it. A loaf lasts ages and is almost a meal in itself. Best coffee in levy too.

Called in for Sunday Brunch yesterday. No idea about choices in the area, Trove was just the nearest suggested result on a Google search. Friendly staff ‘squeezed’ us in at a busy time (I think regulars might pre-book). Excellent food, attentive service. Was a bit cold - well, we are all saving on the central heating. Bought an almond croissant at the counter as we left for on the way to work today. All lovely, thank you.

Not sure where the review is for the Ancoats store. But well rude staff. Blonde woman serving coffees this morning was awful. There were a few flat white orders in front of mine, she was clearly getting flustered as nobody was taking so I stepped up even though last on the list and she slammed the coffee down, huffed and gave me a dirty look. This isn’t London or Berlin. I miss the Manchester I grew up with. Usually go most days out of convenience, I won’t be back.

Reduced menu = no hot vegan options. £2 for a tea bag and extra on top for oat milk. Dirty IKEA glasses for table water. Slow service to round it off. Won't be returning

I used to come to TROVE on daily basis for my morning coffee which is good but not excellent, the staff is usually friendly. Today I came with a friend, ordered food, had our drinks but waited for at least half an hour for the food. After an hour we got kicked out and were told we had to leave before even finishing our food that came late. We were told that the table was booked for others. They didn't even nicely suggest that we move to another table, they weren't sorry, they didn't tell us from the beginning that we only had an hour to stay there. So food is very expensive for what it's worth, service is mediocre and takes an eternity, the staff is rude and not nice and on top of that, we were told that we had to pay with the card because they didn't even have a change and again never sorry for any trouble or inconvenience that they may cause to the customers. When I suggested to the staff that they could have nicely told us to move to another table instead of kicking us they told me that of course 'IF YOU WANT ANOTHER DRINK YOU CAN STAY'. Meaning you NEED TO PAY IF YOU WAWNT TO STAY. I read other reviews and realized this has happened quite often recently so personally I won't be going anymore and I won't suggest to my friends to go to TROVE. Unfortunately, some people care more about making money than keeping customers which is not smart in the long term.

Have eaten here a few times and always been very happy with their food/service. Today we got kicked out after an hour because they said they had another booking for our two seater table. We had a very young baby with us and we were not told when we arrive we would only have an hour. Our food and drinks had taken a while to come out so we were still eating when we got told we needed to leave. We spend £23 over the hour and would of happily stayed to get cakes and more drinks. What a shame this has put us off for the future… will be going a few doors down from now on, which is were we went after. Places are turning into money making machines rather than looking after their returning customers. I would advise you ask how long you have the table for if you go here to avoid being kicked out early…

The coffee… oh my goodness. Best I’ve found in Manchester. I love how they locally source all ingredients and even the tomato sauce is home made. The food and cakes are exceptional and the staff are so friendly. We visited towards the end of service and were treated to some bread that was not sold that day and it was genuinely the nicest bread I have had. We traveled 30 mins to take my mum to the levenshulme branch and it was worth every minute.

Lovely little cafe, food was delicious and really nice relaxed vibe. Coffee was incredible. Portions were generous too!

Trove Levenshulme has been my fave place for lunch for the past few years so tried Ancoats yesterday …. Very disappointed kimchicheese sandwich was burnt and coffee cold… mediocre!

The competition's tough but I think they've won the crown. Eggs florentine at their Levenshulme branch - handy for the Bopcap bookshop across the road - was excellent, as was the carrot cake. Lovely man who served me.

What a great feed, great vibe too. Everyone with us had the “full vegan” which could be used to describe everyone after it.

Really nice breakfast, staff were very friendly and the food was really really great, top class breakfast.

We've lived in Manchester for a year and have tried loads of different coffee places in the quest to find the best! And now we've found it :) We had an oat flat white and oat cortado and they were amazing! Cakes were to die...

Visited the Ancoats venue for lunch - its relatively small place, but was easy enough to grab a seat. Be warned though, everyone is crammed in so its very cosy. The menu is small and a little erratic. You won't find any of your usual...

Had a few breakfasts at the Ancoats site have to say the breads are gorgeous and the freshness of ingredients is fantastic. Loved the miso, cavolo Nero eggs Florentine - was bloody gorgeous! The croissant loaf for the French toast is insanely delicious so will...

The cafe has decent food and drink but one member of staff is very rude. The blonde girl with glasses has an attitude problem and very rude. She lets it down for the rest of the staff.

Lovely coffee excellent Bacon butty on nice bread really nice and friendly would highly recommend we will be back

Trove is the best cafe in Manchester, hands-down. From the chic, pared-back aesthetic and cosy, relaxed atmosphere to the beautiful food and amazing coffee, it’s such a treat. I’m lucky enough to live around the corner, so I can get a loaf of fresh-baked sourdough...

I love this place, gorgeous, seasonal, tasty food, great coffee and really well priced. Best sourdough bread I’ve ever had!

I’ve just had such a good lunch here. They make their own sourdough bread and it was great. I had it with their own in house jam and it was a real treat. The Kim cheese toastie was delicious as well. The highlight was the...

We have been coming to Trove since it opened its doors the best part of a decade ago. Our last visit confirmed for me why we keep coming back. It is just the best cafe in south Manchester. Loads of imitators have tried to copy...

The food at Trove is extremely tasty, and keeps drawing us back. The atmosphere is chilled and bustling too, a wonderful draw for Levenshulme. However the service leaves much to be desired sadly - it always feels like we're an inconvenience. Our last visit, we...

Friendly but slow service. Overpriced and not value for money. Similar to many other cafes, overcharge for dairy milk alternatives (40p for oat milk), which doesn’t take into consideration that you’re also paying for the dairy milk in a ‘standard’ coffee.

I’ve been two times and both times I left unimpressed. The menu is not very exciting although I was pleased to see there was a vegan option and I chose that (although I’m not vegan). The portion size was tiny! I left hungry and, for nearly a tenner, I expected more. I would not recommend.

Had breakfast here recently, the place was very comfortable the staff pleasant. The menu was variable and when presented was excellent. Would have no hesitation in recommending this place to eat!, great value.

Food was okay but the male waiter was really miserable, we felt like we were an inconvenience. Overpriced for what you get

We were stopping in the Travel Lodge not far away from Trove and wanted breakfast so visited the cafe. Nice surroundings, modern light and airy in an up and coming area. The staff were very pleasant I ordered a decaf cappucino and due to me having a cold I was very quiet and they missed the decaf. As I couldn’t drink it my husband did and they knocked it off the bill. My husband had a bacon butty with egg and sausage and I had scrambled eggs on white sour dough with black pudding. Lovely soft scrambled eggs. Very impressed, good portions. The bill for the two breakfasts came to £16.00.

Had great breakfast here on 10th November. Beautifully cooked eggs, lovely sourdough toast, clever homemade take on baked beans. Great staff and just a good place to go.

We have eaten here a couple of times when staying overnight with friends. Great breakfast choice and on both occasions cooked lovely. We will definitely go back.

Trove looks great, and the food is OK, however, the service and portion sizes aren't great. It's clearly popular and we had to wait for a table, but it almost felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff behind the counter. The man who took our order was pretty miserable with no enthusiam at all, and not at all helpful. The female waiting staff who delivered the food to our table were lovely, so it wasn't all the staff. Another negative issue is the menu, which is pretty confusing. They offer some really interesting vegan food, but then with side options of bacon and black pudding which seems really strange, and we weren't clear initially if these were vegan options too. The portions are pretty stingy for the price you pay, and non of us felt full after eating. The cakes and bread were absolutely amazing. I wouldn't bother to eat there again, but I would buy bread and cake to takeaway. There's clearly demand for a creative cafe like this in the area, and I think they need some healthy competition to improve their service and portion sizes.

The second time I've felt compelled to write something on here. As before,I love what trove are doing but the staff fall short.

Trove is just over the road from my flat, brunch is always very nice, love the addition of the capers. Staff although busy, always very pleasant.

Los mejores sabores servidos en el desayuno Merguez. La combinación de sabores ingleses y étnicos (¿creo que marroquí?) Lleva la comida al siguiente nivel. También tienen una selección de pan para elegir para que pueda personalizar cada plato a su gusto. Excelente café también

Made a special trip and purchased a white bloomer 3.75p expecting a real quality loaf.

Mi esposo y yo celebramos nuestro brunch de aniversario en este adorable brunch / café. Sirven pan de masa fermentada realmente bueno. Estaba un poco ocupado cuando llegamos, pero el personal era muy servicial y amable. Pedimos café con leche, huevos florentinos y huevos Benedict. El servidor cometió un error en mi pedido, pero cuando les informé, se disculparon y me sirvieron un poco de tocino extra. La calidad de la comida es muy buena. También pedimos un pastel de zanahoria entero para nuestra cena y también fue muy encantador (aunque el pequeño cartel de "aniversario feliz" era un poco caro a las 5). También pedimos una mermelada de albaricoque casera que realmente disfrutamos! No me puedo quejar del lugar, y esperamos volver pronto!

Aparecimos aquí después de una visita a la zona, ya que queríamos un café. . . El menú nos convenció a comer aquí también. Tuve un desayuno muy bueno de salchicha picante, huevo y pan con varios aderezos. Mi compañero tenía granola y fresas. Ambos disfrutamos nuestra comida y descubrimos que lo que comíamos era abundante. La cafetería tenía un gran ambiente con un gran servicio. Definitivamente visitaría de nuevo!

Mi esposo y yo fuimos allí recientemente para un desayuno "saludable". Aparte de la tostada, que NO ES saludable, o la granola, que puedo tener en casa, había muy poco que este odiador de huevos pudiera pedir, ya que casi todos los platos se centraron en huevos, así que pedí alimentos con los que no estoy familiarizado , pero no los disfruté en absoluto. El café sabía bastante bien, pero estaba tibio, por lo que tampoco lo recomendaría. En el lado positivo, el servicio fue bueno, y nos sentimos bienvenidos.

Super tasty food, quick service, okay pricing but a little on the expensive side (9 pounds). Would recommend. The bread and pastries also look good

We visit trove whenever we are in Manchester as my husband LOVES the coffee (he’s a huge fan of coffee having lived in Australia for years) although on our most recent visit we found out that bonsoy is no longer an option and my husband was gutted!! We used to go out of our way to come here for the coffee - we won’t be doing that until bonsoy is back. I love the vibe of this place and the desserts are just incredible.

We dined at Trove for brunch, and it was absolutely delicious. The whole breakfast menu looks very appealing, and we were very happy with our choices. We bought a wholemeal sourdough from the counter too, which is so fresh and tasty! Only let down is that we had to queue quite a while to pay. Will be back!

I love Trove. It has so much going for it on a high street with very little else of interest to me. I love the fact that it exists. However, the customer service is hugely varied. It ranges from friendly to really quite rude. There have been a number of occasions when I have wished I hadn't gone in.

Of course you can buy your bread for your home to make your own sandwiches or dip it into olive oil and feel the great taste but you can also sit and take a break from your day, giving yourself a tasty dish! Poached eggs!!

Esta es una revisión de seguimiento de Trove Levenshulme. Fui allí hoy y ayer por la mañana, el servicio fue excelente. Tuvimos un Americano muy agradable ayer y una Mocha encantadora esta tarde, el personal es muy agradable. Es un lugar realmente agradable y tranquilo para tomar un café, desayunar o comer. Tienen su propia panadería y el pan está recién hecho todos los días. Lo recomendaría, volveré de nuevo.

Always wanted to visit trove...never made it...til today.It’s a lovely place...I bought a loaf...don’t know what that’s like...I’ll have it later...for now I have to say...it was rather a disappointment...soup was nice...cake..okayyy...a fair few menu items were not available sadly so I just had soup...which was...nice....the vegan breakfast at £7 was a total rip-off....the egg we ordered didn’t arrive then came later..cold...but even that didn’t lift it any....that said the coffee was good...took an absolute age to be made...not sure why,but there was no sense of urgency...Anyway....go to trove...it’s ok...but there are nicer,more reasonably priced places nearby...

Went in here on spec, having lived for years in Ancoats but moved out a few years ago and curious/sceptical to sample the sprouting of new hipster venues. If you like space and don't want to hustle for a table, it's just not the venue for you. The food we did have was excellent, with the Merguez breakfast: two long, fragrant, spicy Merguez saugages served on sourdough with dukah, labneh, pickled parsnip and a herby sauce, with a fried egg, is simply of the best things I've ever eaten. Because I'm a hungry horse, I usually wolf down my food-can't help it. But with this dish, I made sure to savour it. We will definitely be back. Staff were pleasant.

Went to Trove Levenshulme a few weeks back as I live in Longsight wanted to see what all the fuss was about Walked over to a table somebody walked over didn't introduce themselves thought they wanted the table, Turned out to be one of the staff. I said I wanted a coffee. Waited at least ten minutes for it thought they had forgotten my order, comes in small cup. Queue at door for people wanting a table, Stayed a bit payed for coffee then left, Ill stick to Costa not impressed.

Found this little place and it was amazing. The food was fabulous..couldnt fault it at all. Went to go again the second day of our trip but it was too busy we were gutted!!! Well worth a visit!

Acabo de visitar el puesto de avanzada de los ancoats de Trove. Un lugar atractivo en un área interesante que se sintió bien, PERO, se dejó parado en la puerta durante 5 minutos por una mesa, completamente ignorado. Luego esperó más de 20 minutos para que los camareros vinieran y tomaran una orden. Eventualmente tuve que preguntar si podía ordenar. Llegó el granola y el té, que estaba bien. Con tanta competencia, particularmente en el Northern Quarter, un lugar debe estar en su juego y causar una impresión inmediata, desafortunadamente Trove falló.

He estado unas cuantas veces en la ubicación de Ancoats y me parece un poco diferente a muchos otros en la misma panadería. El servicio en este lugar es muy bueno y amable, pero también está bien informado (¡y nos gusta hacer preguntas!).

The most delicious brunch in Manchester!!! So perfect coffee! Cosy place, good atmosphere, great bread! Love It!!!

Quality food, made with passion, served in an intimate, stylish cafe, abuzz with a lovely community feel. Probably the best coffee in south Manchester and definitely the best pastries!

We had a really special anniversary lunch here, and were blown away by the high quality food and beautiful space. Very inventive dishes and good value. The staff were really laid back and welcoming, such a gem of a place, can't wait to come back!

Eager to see what the fuss was all about, I came here for the first time last week and coffee and toast here recently. I was surprised that I had to wait fifteen minutes for both items to get to me, even on a busy Saturday, but tried to push it to the back of my mind, wanting to give the place a chance. Soon afterwards, I had a niggling feeling in other ways that everything else felt a bit below par. First of all, I thought the coffee was fine, slightly above chain standard, but not much. I also got no apology for the wait and no 'How's everything?" whilst I was eating. The other thing is that, in common with a few other reviewers, on my visit there's a weird atmosphere going on. I felt this was partly due to some customers (perhaps regulars, perhaps the big spenders) getting more attention than others but what I found really surprising how unrelaxing the place is. Tables are very close together, which would be fine if Trove was bigger, but it adds to the tension, as well as seeing a queue of people by the door eager to get your table. Forget about lingering here for a few minutes after you've finished supping your brew (and I really do mean lingering for no more than five minutes) and I agree with someone else about the 'My daddy is richer than your daddy' clientele. All in all it was a relief to leave there (after I squeezed past the queue in the tiny space by the till).

Needed a late brekkie - stumbled across Trove - factory layout and minimal decor but great vibe, staff v earnest and attentive and food terrific - must recommend

Nine of us stayed around the corner from Trove for the weekend in an Airbandb. The owner recommended Trove as an excellent place for coffee and breakfast. How right he was. What impressed me as a restaurateur myself is how Trove manage to get everything SO right. Superb breads, bacon, hollandaise, great eggs, good coffee and everything piping hot. Calm efficient staff both front of house and from what I could see in the spotlessly clean open plan kitchen. Congratulations to the folk behind this business (whoever you are). Your obvious intelligence and attention to detail is inspiring.

I was concerned with the opening of their new cafe in Ancoats that the Levenshulme one would lose a bit of love, but thanks goodness its still as great and lovely. The staff are so warm and friendly and such passion has gone into the food. Well done guys.

Local enterprise won us over back in the early days day....changes have to happen and lessons learnt along the way. Possible victim of own success when hipster magazines started writing about Levy's "artisan market" - which was great for bringing alot of daytrippers to the area, but a nightmare for the Trove regulars.

How much for a tea bag 100ml of milk and a mug which must have cost 50pence. A bargain at 2.50 I don’t think so

Nicest breakfast spot I've been to in ages! Staff were really friendly and food + coffee was delicious. Will definitely be back :)

What has happened to this place?! Myself and my husband went in yesterday with our 7-yr-old daughter and it was like walking onto the set of a hipster zombie movie!!

Escuché sobre este lugar de unos pocos amigos, así que traté a mi compañero de brunch este fin de semana.

كوفي ذو طابع شعبي لديه وجبات خفيفه ويقدم حلويات رائعه جداً لقد كانت تجربه جميله وسوف اكرر الزيارة انصحكم بزيارته

Cuando entré en este establecimiento que esperaba grandes cosas. Me gustaría quería volver aquí por un tiempo. tripadvisor tiene críticas increíbles y desde fuera parece super lindo y crispado. Me saludaron a la plana, confundido, posiblemente incluso aburrido de cara a dos miembros del personal. No me dieron el típico "Hola, cómo estás? ' o 'qué podemos hacer por usted? 'que normalmente sería dado; yo tenía que estar allí caracterizados se sienten como si yo tenía 5 cabezas de la manera en que estábamos buscando. Después pedí la mesa y el hombre que me enseñó a dicho cuadro aparentemente no sabía cómo comunicarse con otras personas como él dijo no una palabra. Me senté un poco disgustado y preguntando por qué hay gente que vino aquí y nos dio tan buenas críticas. El ambiente es, sin duda, extraño y un poco tensa. . Hay una muy "daddy y es más rica que la suya", que es un ambiente un poco aburrido. La chica que nos servía vino a la mesa y miraron y no decir una palabra y luego hablaban. Entonces ella preguntó qué queríamos después de una extraña pausa incómoda. Pedimos. Las bebidas. El jugo fresco de naranja supo de concentrado. . Realmente no vale la pena pagar. £3. Sin duda esperaba recién exprimido por el precio. El café era absolutamente preciosa (moka con leche de avena, lo recomiendo). La comida era realmente encantador. Yo tenía los huevos Benedict. Mi única queja era el pan. . Era un poco duro y difícil de cortar a través de y no había suficiente salsa holandesa para suavizar el pan. Pero aparte de eso, era precioso. Para los dos, fue de £26, que es un poco caro para Levenshulme, y el ambiente era sin duda un poco tensa y extraña en todo. A la salida, aunque el personal logró ser amable y decir adiós, que era un positivo! Vuelva, quizás no x

Really good food, lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Can’t fault Trove for the quality of their food. Been several times and have always had a very good experience. Would highly recommend.

I have been to Trove so so many times and just never got round to writing a review until now. It is one of Manchester’s best. This is in terms of originality and creativity when it comes to their food - both baked and cooked. Their home made brown sauce is just so good you could actually drink it. It is so good to see them expanding across the city and to Alty market etc. Great spot!

Came here spontaneously whilst visiting the antiques centre opposite. Wow the bread, proper sourdough!! We had the tomato and olive soup with sourdough. Delicious and proper homemade!! I had a cappacino and my husband had an Americano. Both were great. Good service too. We bought two lovely loaves to take away. We came on a Friday so was good amount of space and the staff had time. Don't know if it would be a different story at the weekend. We went back to the antiques centre on Sunday and Trove looked really busy with a queue outside. We read some of the not so good reviews ( there weren't many!!), after our visit and these may have been from people who visited at a weekend. It is easy to see how Trove could become a victim of its own success and outgrow its premises.

Me apetecía un brunch agradable, así que nos dirigimos a oculto.

A great little find in the middle of an array of shops. A simple menu that has vegan and vegetarian options. The desserts are to die for. Excellent service, very welcoming place.

Antes de entusiasmarse todo increíble en oculto, brevemente la tarta chiffon quejarse que había el domingo 20 de mayo. Estaba cruda, hasta el punto de tener una enorme chapuzón en el medio y la parte inferior de la capa era densa y poco hecha. Yo hornear mucho y francamente me hubiera tirado todo el pastel en el que en vez de servir, bin, y que estaban cobrando por ello! Toc, toc, este habría sido una evaluación de 5 estrellas si no fuera por la tarta.

Trove is our go to lunch and breakfast cafe when we have five minutes with out the kids. It reminds us how amazing food can be and how to enjoy it in a cool setting. We left our name and number as we arrived mid lunch rush and after fifteen minutes wandering around the antique shops a table was ready for us. Amazing coffee and the best Eggs Florentine I have ever had with homemade buttery toast I was full and my mouth was loving life. As always I will be back when I can truly enjoy the food and the setting and pretend I am cool enough to be in Trove.

Finally made it to Trove, lovely decor and friendly staff. We had the mergueZ sausage and fried egg on toast... good flavours but a bit heavy handed with the oil. The preserved lemon was a bit overpowering but that could be me

Thoughtful, high quality stuff. Never disappoints. Brilliant bread, crackin' coffee, beautiful baking and creative cookery, all crammed into a tasteful utilitarian designed spot in the centre of Levenshulme. Crying out for something like this in the Heatons...

Myself and my partner come to trove often, we often make a special effort to get here because the coffee is just so good. The food is incredible, the service is always friendly and the cake... wow. Such good vibes from this place, if you’re considering a visit, treat yourself, you won’t regret it!

Trove is an amazing little cafe in Levenshulme. Everything about this place is spot on. The decor is minimal and tasteful. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and there is aways a really nice atmosphere. But the food really is the star of the show....

Nice place to pop in for a quick a warm drink in a cold city! We had three spiced chais which were tasty but awfully disappointing in portion size, for £2.20 you'd expect more that a few sips! The cakes however we very generous in...

Trove have managed to make a classic even better - elevate it to heights where other chefs/restaurants mostly fail. Classics are classics because they already offer a great combination of flavors/textures but in my opinion Trove’s Eggs Benedict with caper hollandaise, bacon and sourdough can...

Realmente un buen café, pan, tartas deliciosas y genial platos. Yo vivo localmente y vienen a menudo oculto. A veces en mi propia, a menudo con amigos. Es muy bueno para el desayuno y las comidas. Me imagino que sus cenas de fin de semana son buenas también, pero no he probado esos todavía. La única crítica es que en algunos platos los tamaños de porción podría ser un poco más grandes. El desayuno vegetariano por ejemplo, es delicioso, pero normalmente me deja un poco de hambre.

This is a great place to have in Levenshulme when you fancy treating yourself. And now they have the extra space it is easier to get a table. Highly reccomended.

We went one Friday evening and had a great night! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious - bread, pickles, crab and roasted cabbage, merguez sausages and salted beef all washed down with the most delicious jam and gin cocktails. The only down side was not having a bigger stomach to keep on eating! The employees are also lovely, we couldn't have asked for nicer service! Definitely worth catching the 192 to experience. Thank you Trove! We'll be seeing you again very soon....

The food at Trove is consistently delicious and exquisitely presented. The owners and staff are always friendly and attentive. It has a cosy atmosphere - always a gentle hubbub of conversation- just right. We have eaten here over the last 3 or 4 years and still always look forward to it as a special trip. I'm happy to say Trove is now our local, having recently moved to Levenshulme and we hope it will always be there.

Trove is a nice local place, but on our visit the service was poor. We ordered the 'cronuts' for £4.50. After 20 minutes we asked where these were - not much of an apology, and 20 minutes later we were served two extremely overly deep-fried donuts -it was really offensive that they thought it was OK to serve these to us and then charge us £4.50. You can pick these donuts up in a supermarket bakery for 60p a bag. They had clearly been in the frier for over 15 minutes which is disgusting - I'm not sure what they were trying to do to our arteries.

Trove, without a doubt makes the best sourdough bread in Greater Manchester but eat-in options are great too! Please bring back the avo to the vegan breakfast and we'll be back for our weekly brunches :), the kale hummous is just not the same! We miss avo so much! Also there was a holiday version of sourdough (with spices like apple and cinnamon) that was absolutely amazing, but never seen it since the holidays. Would love to see it again!

Me and my partner always go to Trove. It's close to where we live and we love it. The eggs Benedict is amazing. Cooked with true perfection and it's never failed us and we've had it lots of times. The service is fantastic too and the staff are really attentive. Never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a table and we have never felt rushed at all to finish our food. Also do really nice latte's. A hidden little gem in the heart of levy. Thank you trove for your excellent service :-)

Trove was one of the reasons my little family moved to Levenshulme! We go all the time with our three year old. The cafe has a super trendy look, but isn't stuffy or pretentious because of the chilled out service. The food is really very good. They serve some wacky contemporary dishes alongside traditional English brunches. I challenge anyone to find a better eggs benedict in Mcr! Nighttime cocktails and small plates are also worth a trip to Levy for. Prices are extremely reasonable, too.

Much like the reviewer below, we've also been visiting Trove for a while and loved sharing one of our favourite Manchester eateries with family yesterday. We had an assortment of dishes, which were expertly prepared as ever. Highlights included the vegan breakfast and charred aubergine & tahini open sandwich. Cakes for pudding were a necessity, of course. What a delight to see Trove flourish in the time we've been going there - from a husband and wife team to an independent empire with an Altrincham outpost - without ever compromising the quality of their produce. A wonderful place, and a real asset to Levenshulme.

I've been visiting Trove for a good while, and though the service has always been hit and miss, I'd say it's now officially lost it's charm. Better places are opening in Levy and Trove is getting left behind. Some of the previous staff were genuinely lovely, but I've been in and witnessed the owner herself hinting that people leave when they're still chewing their last mouthful! It used to get very busy and tables were in demand but there are politer ways to do this. Also, one staff member was very keen to share that some of their wedding cakes are decorated with food foraged from the nearby country park. Rinsing resources that should be able to be shared by the community is shameful, and for highly priced cakes sold for profit is even worse. I hope the service improves here. I miss how good it once was!

Visited for the first time Had the most amazing lunch. Will definitely be returning. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Yummmm!

Thanks guys, me and my husband are buying in the area and decided to try out Trove before we move as we have heard great reports. My Eggs Florentine with added Smoked Mackerel and Earl Grey hit the spot, the sower dough toast and portion size was great and friend staff to boot.Looking forward to being closer.Richard and Anles

Love it here - the staff are great and the food/drinks are made with real care. So glad it's within walking distance of our house!

Absolutely love this place! Even better since the extension as more folk can enjoy it at once. Food is incredible, the menu always delights and you know the ingredients are sourced with care and passion. Coffee is always excellent. Loving the natural wines on offer too! Very knowledgeable and super friendly staff.

Forget Chorlton. This is one of my favorite places in Manchester. The food is not only good and inovative but also cheap. Service is the best. I feel incredibly confortable there. The staff is very friendly and they make a brilliant coffee.Dont get me started on the bread. Their sour dough is to die for. I'm a big fan of everything trove come up with.

So pleased to have had the chance to visit Trove finally after my friends constant pleas! My chums were right. This place is brilliant and luckily they knew well to go early as it does get busy. We all had a delicious brunch and the coffee is the best I've had for a long time. Managed to save space for cake too.....couldn't resist! The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and informative about the menu. Everything is baked by Trove (they have their own bakery nearby) so I left armed with some gorgeous sourdough (and more cakes!). Will definitely be back again.

So many reasons I love this place. I visit at least once a week! Poached eggs always perfect, excellently crafted coffee, sourdough and other delicious breads made in Troves own bakery down the road, along with their cakes and pastries. Relaxing atmosphere, excellent staff who always make you feel welcome and looked after, even when it's busy. Cannot recommend this place enough. Top of my list of coffee houses!
