No greeting or welcome at the door—stood there ignored with zero eye contact from staff. Once seated, had to flag a waitress down; she acknowledged me but then served two other tables and cleaned up before finally coming over. Drinks took 25 minutes (request for medium-temperature latte completely ignored - came scalding hot). Food arrived looked nice but poached eggs were very overcooked. Was starving so didn’t complain. No staff checked on us afterwards… Felt neglected the entire time. Fresh ingredients, but poor service and attention made it disappointing. Hope they improved visited before and very difficult experience. Looked understaffed and not a single smile from anyone that works there
Loved this unexpected find. Quirky/vintage vibes. Great menu - especially for drinks. I had Manchester Rain which was Earl Grey Latte, husband had Biscoff Latte and our daughters had the Northern Quarter flavoured black tea and we all really enjoyed them. Food was lovely and beautifully presented too!
Had an overall ok Afternoon Tea experience. Pros: Nice greeting & quick seating Food-specifically the scones and avocado/prosciutto toasts Cons: After we sat, couple sat down next to us after but we're served first. Also had to hunt down the server for the check. Food- Sweets tier was old, stale and left much to be desired and the spotted cream had what appeared to be freezer burn, opted not to have it. Not terrible by any means but wouldn't be my go-to in Manchester.
