Lovish SainiJuly 10, 2016One of the nicest little coffee houses in Manchester. Lovely for a first date. Really cosy. Staff are friendly and service is really good too. Great working space too or for meetings.
Valerie de BackerJanuary 31, 2017I loved everything about this little cafe, the coffee was perfect, and so is their food. Definitely try their granola and their toasts. You can even choose the kind of bread you want.
Sarah BadrockAugust 21, 2014The toasted sandwiches are delicious, the coffee tastes great and there are delicious cakes which just so happen to be gluten free. There is outdoor seating ideal for people watching on sunnier days.
RachelDecember 17, 2015Fig and Sparrow is a small, cosy and design-centric place. Part homeware shop, part cafe, it's the perfect haven when escaping the hordes on Oldham Street and Piccadilly.- Katie SageOctober 10, 2015Really great coffee, amazing aroma and some lovely homeware to browse whilst you wait (there is a bit of a wait when it's busy)
Sam MOctober 22, 2016Great coffee and atmosphere. Can get quite busy but you can browse the random things in the shop while you are waiting. Coming back for food and bread.
Dana CarsonJuly 13, 2015A lovely beet and mackerel salad. Great espresso as well. A nice break from all the airport food I have been eating.
Robert GreenSeptember 29, 2014Yes indeed! Decaf latte beautifully balanced and the right kind of atmosphere; it's country kitchen in the third wave!
Jaryd CarolinAugust 13, 2015Just below the menus on the right of the store are the sourdough bread baskets, you can buy the bread they make the sandwiches with and it's amazing!!
OVPOctober 10, 2013Cool little café/shop with a completely different ambience to other offerings in the area. Great selection of teas and indie craft products.
TrueAugust 20, 2016If you're interested in cakes this will not be your choice.However I like the coffee and the decorations. some stuff they sell are expensive and I found it 75% cheaper in debenhams and home sens !!!
My favourite coffee shop in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Great coffee and (usually) vegan cakes too!
An-SofieFebruary 11, 2014Great atmosphere, nice place to relax and to work. Good coffee and healthy breakfast/lunch! Friendly staff!
LamyaSeptember 17, 2019I love this place, the coffee is great, cakes are delicious and people are so friendly.
Marina FashchilinaJune 11, 2017Perfect place to get some things done over an avocado toast and an impeccable latte
Martin SmithSeptember 26, 2019Simple food but really well done. Great quiet ambience with solid choice of tunes.
Marc KNovember 20, 2015Best coffee, breakfast and lunch in warm design store. Why would you go to Starbucks?
- Janus DøssingSeptember 22, 2024They do pour over - but not at rush hours (!?) otherwise a nice little spot, with a brilliantly curated menu.
Mike BrownAugust 16, 2013Great for a coffee in a relaxed atmosphere and for gorgeous homewares and gifts!
Danny WilsonMay 10, 2015Nice coffee although took a while to get it. Cakes are also pretty damn good.
Andra GeorgescuJanuary 4, 2017Was expecting a little bit more in terms of coffee quality considering the rating of this plave. I ordered a flat white with almond milk and it was so bad that I couldn't even drink it ..
