Idle Hands Coffee: Reviews & Ratings
Really good offering of cakes and other desserts. The latte is strong but tastes nice. Often gets really busy on a weekend and can be quite noisy if there are sports events next door. They also have seating available outside. 24.80 for 2 cakes, Turkish eggs, and a latte.
Best avocado toast in Manchester hands down. Flavourful and good for your gut health too. The staff is always helpful and kind, the atmosphere is friendly and chill. Lots of seat and space. They also have fantastic homemade pies. If you enjoy breakfast dish with a kick you will enjoy the Turkish egg. I have been coming for 2 years now and everything is always delicious. The hot chocolate is sweet and not heavy. There is a parking one minute away. Highly recommended. Lovely
Sweet Delight! I recently visited Idle Hands and was impressed by the amazing selection of sweet treats. The service was exceptional too. The atmosphere is inviting with plenty of natural light. It’s a great place to catch up with friends, work remotely or simply indulge in delicious coffee treats and drinks.
We were looking for a nice brunch place and we came to Idle Hands. Both the food and the coffee were some of the best we have had for quite some time. The Turkish eggs and the Meaty hash brown were amazing and a new take on some classic dishes. We tried the Banana cake and the pistachio honey cake and both were of high quality. The service and the atmosphere were spot on and the prices very understanding for the service and food offered. We will certainly make this our regular place for coffee and brunch.
Lovely little cafe. We liked the surroundings and style of the cafe. We really enjoyed the sausage and bacon sandwiches. Served in lovely warm soft bread. The cappuccinos were decent too but just wish they were served in larger cups. A bit like the mug size my daughter had for her tea and that would have been ideal Definitely recommend.
Delicious breakfast here - Turkish eggs (with lovely focaccia) and a veggie fry up with amazing home made hash browns! Enjoyed the coffee too. All round, top marks and glad I stumbled upon this place!
Turkish egg and meaty are special and tasty. Pie and coffee are perfect match. Reasonable price in this area.
Serendipity played its part. Albrecht was taking us to Nomad for coffee but access was denied as yet another crew was filming in the Northern Quarter. Doubled back to Idle Hands. Had a lovely couple of coffees and cakes. All good.They sell a good breakfast selection for carnivores, veggies and vegans. ( Assuming vegans will share the meat eating space!) Good find Albrecht.
