The Vienna Coffee House

Went here after an overnight in Manchester city centre and the food and service is excellent. There's a wide range of food and cater for dietary requirements too. The atmosphere is weird though. There's no music and if you're not looking out at the street all you will see and hear is the staff walking back and forth to the kitchen. Shame really.

I had the full English and tea. The food was delicious, the sausages were amazing (would highly recommend) the beans were the perfect thickness and not a runny mess, the eggs were perfect and were not runny. Basically everything tasted great. Aside from the food, the whole place has a relaxing vibe. I apologise as I forgot to take a picture of my plate when it arrived as I tucked in straight away but I can tell everyone reading this review that nothing went to waste.

Prompt service once you're there, reasonable price for the amount of food. Food was great. I had an afternoon tea with egg mayonnaise and cream cheese & cucumber sandwiches, latte with whipped cream, warm scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a slice of coffee cake. Convenient location near St Peter's Square tram stop and a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens. I gave the atmosphere 3/5 which I consider a neutral score - nothing bad, nothing fancy. It was clean and quiet. I see the review before mine marked it down for not being authentic to Vienna. I've never been to Vienna and I'm rating it as a traditional English afternoon tea. I'm taking one star off the service as they're not currently accepting reservations online and they never answer the phone so I had to go in person to book a table. I recommend an answering machine!

One of my favourite cafes in Manchester. Its just opposite to the Art Gallery. Good coffee, yummy food and many beautiful artworks on the wall. Worth to go there for a relaxing break. **just realised that the menu has been changed recently and there is no light englist breakfast (deansgate) anymore. Hopefully the owner can remain the light breakfast as full breakfast would be too much for some of the customers.**
