At 11 am on a Saturday, they weren't too packed and even if they were this place is huge so there is plenty of room to sit down and enjoy! What I ordered: I got a cappuccino and a falafel salad. The cappuccino was huge! The salad was filling and came w hummus, guacamole, and a veggie mix! I loved it! Prices were reasonable for what you get! Another bonus- there were outlets next to all of the booths! Nice. I would highly recommend this place!

I took up residence in the dimly lit back area, where the cheerful waitstaff promptly took my order of a blood orange hot chocolate made with almond milk (!) The drink came out frothy and light, with a cloud of chocolate-dusted milk foam atop subtle, smooth chocolate. No bitter or artificial aftertaste. While bopping along to the background music and working on my laptop, I was informed that Leaf would close early at 19h instead of 20h, so I seized the opportunity to order dinner as well: the jerk lamb rump, and an order of jasmine pearl tea. The waiter helped me verify that the lamb was free of dairy, and soon I was chowing down on succulent roast lamb and garlicky roast beans. The mango jam was a perfect accompaniment to the meat, but I found the coconut/coriander rice too mushy to my taste. It helped me to imagine them as mashed potatoes instead, haha. The tea was sensuously fragrant, and I welcomed the scented fog clouding my glasses. I wish I could have stayed there longer, but I might return for brunch or tea - Leaf is truly a serene, wonderful establishment.

By far one of the best coffee shops I've visited! Very trendy decor with filter coffee being served…read morein a cool science beaker! There is a good variety of coffee and filtered coffees; I had ordered a fruity filtered coffee which tasted really nice. They have a few other varieties as well, in addition to the regular fair of lattes, cappuccinos etc. and their iced counterparts. A huge bonus of Black Sheep is that they have a few Matcha teas on the menu; regular unsweetened matcha, matcha latte and turmeric matcha latte. Nitrogen coffee is a new thing I came across here and having not tried it before, they gave a sample of it. As a regular coffee drinker it wasn't to my taste, but it's an interesting concept and worth a try if you're feeling adventurous. The service is excellent; staff were very polite and efficient. The inside of the cafe is pretty spacious with a number of small and large tables, and also some single person bar seats. Black sheep feels a bit like a coffee bar than a cafe, but with it's assortment of strong flavourful coffees, central location right near Manchester Piccadilly Station and cool vibe, it's not one to be missed.

My friends from Wales kindly paid me a visit and on their return journey I decided to take them…read morefor a quick convenient snack near the station. We first popped into the Piccadilly pub where I know it to be comfy and cheap and cheerful. After 20 minutes of choosing what we wanted, the barman sharply said ''oh there is an hours wait for food''...which we then left. I then suggested we try somewhere in the station itself, because of its nature there would be no extended waiting time.. Wandering upstairs I discovered a bar/cafe. Glancing at the menu we decided to settle, as it promised quick food delivery. The menu offers breakfasts, panini's, hot dogs , burgers and home made cakes...I decided to try the Goats Cheese, Roast Pepper , Mushroom burger with a Berry smoothie. First off, I had asked one of the barmen what the smoohie of the day was. It was difficult to tell out of the three standing there who was serving who..He answered very rudely he was serving someone. When it came to our turn to actually order food it was a disaster. He was obviously new and struggled to put it through the till. When he eventually did and repeated the order back, it was completely wrong. I must have repeated my order six times..how can you mistake a veggie burger for pulled pork? During this time the queue started to build. Who I thought might have been an experienced woman, she tried to step in and take control. She was even ruder than the man. She also struggled to put it through... By this point we were going to walk out because they were taking their frustrations out on us, and the manager had let this happen for ten minutes before stepping in. If I were her I would have told my two new staff to apoligse for their rudeness . She put our order through immediately and got rid of the crowd single handedly. When the food was served the waitress gave me daggers every time and spoke sarcastically. The food was really tasty but the hostile nature and ill treatment spoiled it for us. I will not go back again because I have never been so ill treated before, and the way that the manager let them flounder for so long. I will be giving the actual company itself direct feedback because that was not on . Oh and they don't have a toilet.. you have to use the ones downstairs for 30p a pop.. 24/12 /14- my star rating is going because after discussing my experience with head of management, they really looked into it and compensated me £35..really Impressed with the level of care

I'm a big fan of people watching especially in a train station, I've seen break ups, couples meeting for dates and people say there last goodbyes. But ultimately this is about hourglass! People say the drinks are expensive, yet you go to London and happily pay £5.60 for a pint. So here in Manchester in a public railway station where we all know prices will be up anyway, I paid £8.20 for two pints. So realistically its not that bad. The beer was cold and refreshing and they do a realllllllly nice hot chocolate. So realistically your waiting for your train or waiting for somebody to get off a train. it is worth a visit. Equally the food is not of Michelin star quality but its perfectly edible and rather scrumptious. Its very much worth a visit!

I LOVE moose coffee. This is the 2nd store I've visited and can now say I have been to all of the…read morein Manchester. They are both amazing. I decided to try this one because why not ... it is quicker for me to get to when I visit on the train as its just outside Piccadilly station so thought why not. Its a 2 floor restaurant with seating both upstairs and down, huge glass store front so you can sit inside and watch the people going to and from the station and just relax. I got there just after 8am and there wasn't as many people in as there would have been for the original store in the centre of the city, which is good because it meant I could easily get a seat and served. The decor was awesome and some of my pictures show it, however I didn't go upstairs and always feel dodgy when taking pictures of the arrangement as I was across from the serving area. It looked nice done up all festive too and we quickly got seen to. Luckily it has the same menu as the other establishments and the lovely server told us that everything was available which is awesome. Being a creature of habit, I went for my old faithful, the grande bouche which is the brioche french toast with bacon, and a vanilla latte. I figured, in order to review them both, I need to try the same dish and see which one I preferred. Unfortunately I could differentiate my favourite as they are both EPIC. However, I do believe I got more bacon at the piccadilly one so YAY for more bacon. I only have 2 niggles at this store, however, one was partly my fault, and so was the other thinking about it. They were, the food didn't stay hot enough (however I was dawdling in eating it) ... and the other is that, with people coming in and out constantly, there was a draft (but we did sit near the door). All in all it was an excellent trip and I cant wait to go there again. As well as the grande bouche and vanilla latte, I got a stack of 3 blueberry pancakes to share with my brother. We have had the pancakes before and due to the size, they got a little dry ... however the addition of blueberries moistened it up as they were VERY juicy and delicious blueberries (deffo want more blueberries next time). SO with visiting this store ... I now know that I can go to any moose coffee in Manchester and love it. This is GREAT news for me ... AND ... its on Deliveroo so when I eventually move up to Manchester, I can be lazy and order it in. YAY

Moose Coffee was founded in 2006. The concept grew from a love for the great American breakfast…read moreculture and nowhere does it better than the diners & delis of New York City. This is their latest branch and second in Manchester city centre, on Piccadilly Approach - it is a fairly small store but serves a convenient location if one is getting a train from Piccadilly Station. If you've ordered with Moose in Manchester on Deliveroo - chances are the order has come from this branch. The store inside is pretty small compared to their other branch but it still does have some nice comfortable seating and tables (there were children standing on the cushioned seats which goes down the store however which I didn't like - but the staff can't control customers children!) When I entered, I waited to be sat down and was served by a man - he seemed to struggle understanding English and even admitted that - I asked him for an allergen guide (it says on the menu you can request one and they do have it online too but I wanted to get one in-store to test the staff knowledge to see if I actually felt confident eating here), however, he looked at me puzzled and originally thought I was unable to read the menu - so despite asking to sit down twice and asking him questions, he appeared to block me from sitting down. I eventually had to ask another member of staff who seemed a lot more confident than the other staff member here - who seemed confused that gluten-free options weren't labelled on the menu when vegan was. This was a slow and frustrating process. I ended up going for the Mighty Moose after finding out it could be made with gluten-free bread, the lady server also offered to make me an iced tea but she did say she wasn't aware of how it would turn out as it is basically making a hot tea over ice and they don't normally do it. I decided to go for an Iced Earl Grey with Vanilla syrup, this was quite reasonably priced at £2 with an extra £0.30 for syrup, however, the drink was just drinkable and it really was tea over ice - the drink didn't even taste of vanilla, it was just bitter water if anything. My food quality overall was okay but I did seem to have a problem with every aspect of my dish - considering it was with a potato hash, I expected the bacon to be those nice, thin crispy rashers of bacon however the bacon wasn't like that - it had no crispiness to it, it seemed slightly undercooked and was rather chewy. My fried eggs did look the part but I found them to be slightly too runny for my liking. The potato hash in most cases did taste quite good with nice potatoes however a good part of it was overseasoned and far too peppery - meaning I had to leave part of it which was a shame. I was quite surprised however with the gluten-free toast as it was basically on the brink of being burnt - considering how hard it is to toast gluten-free bread as it tastes longer I was shocked how they got it like this (it also is a shame they don't have gluten free bread clearly listed on the menu so customers can be easily aware of it) - the bread, however, was cold, it felt like they'd invented a zapper which toasts bread rather than getting it hot. The overall feel of the place wasn't great - and I certainly would want to avoid the outdoor seating area, with it being on such a busy street leading up to the station you have loads of people running past with cigarettes, suitcases and the Free Bus parking just outside - meaning if you want a more typical American diner experience you might be best heading to their other branch in the city on York Street. Everything came to £10.10 which for a city centre location and fresh food - wasn't too bad. Would I come here again? Probably not - only as a last resort is getting a train, facing issues from minor to much bigger on my food and the male server seeming inexperienced and untrained (he did seem friendly however he just really struggled). 2* for this being one of the better places to get food before heading on a train from Piccadilly station, especially considering terrible experiences at Carluccio's inside the station and Bella Itallia, a five minute or so walk away in Piccadilly Gardens in the past.
