M&S Cafe

Dining Experience @ Marks & Spencer Café. . Ambience is modern and functional. The brightly lit spacious area is neatly lined with simple furniture, with some seats offering power outlets for device charging. . Service is largely self-service, with ordering, payment, and collection over the counter. Diners also clean up after themselves. Staff accord each customer good attention and patiently answer queries, but this causes a longer wait for those in queue. . Food is focused on simple and easy British English meals, including light bites and popular favourites. Ingredients are fresh, dishes are healthy and tasty. Portions are sized for individuals. Prices are affordable, budget about GBP £10 per person. . A warm Tea Earl Grey (GBP £2.50) makes for a great calming beverage on cold rainy days... which are common here in Manchester, England. Love the elegant notes this carries. . The giant Fruit Scone (GBP £2.50) is warm and tasty, with the juicy chewy sultana raisins lending a burst of fruity sweet flavour to the buttery bready flavour of the scone. With its firm crumbly texture, this was delightful. . The Assorted Sandwich Selection (GBP £5) features 4 quarter sandwiches, each with a different filling. All so tasty.

A delightful place to go - rather too grand to be called a café! Tried the ciabatta omelette today. The omelette was fluffy and delicate; the condiment nicely piquant; the rocket refreshing and the ciabatta gorgeous. Staff are gracious and work hard to deal with the press of customers.

Disgusting, 80% of the tables were filthy and covered in dirty plates and cups. Food all over the floor. Clearly not enough staff taking care of the place. Not what you'd expect from M&S!

First time visiting here for a gathering and it won't be the last. The place is big and spacious with a cosy vibe / atmosphere. The entrance was full of people queuing to pay for their food and drinks but the waiting time wasn't long as customers were attended really quick. The staff were friendly. I love the way that they placed all the cakes and pastries at the entrance too but I resisted and ordered a hot chocolate only. I'd say the price range is ok; the price matches to the current coffee chains which might be considered as pricey for some. The quality of the hot chocolate was good though. Will come back for my hot chocolate fix. See you next time!

I love M&S food. I was shocked that they don't offer vegan hot chocolate in the cafe. It took forever to get an answer, then finally the hot choc mix has milk in it. Weird - when M&S are so food forward. The assistant did say the vegan hot choc was in the pipeline...but still - it's 2024! I'm not vegan but I just wanted to avoid dairy... ????
