How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Great coffee and fast internet

I’d call this a city centre gem and refreshing change to all the coffee chains. The coffee is smooth, the vegan cakes amongst the best I’ve found in town so far. Staff is a tad bit hit & miss, but overall I haven’t had a bad experience. Pri...

Nice if not slightly bland brunch. Inconsistent service - slightly aloof lady and friendly guys. Lovely coffee. Could be cozier.

The most delicious lunch I've ever eaten in my life!!!!! As a vegetarian I feel like when I go out for food it's made by someone that doesn't understand a veggie or vegan diet; ie, my only choice is a cheese and onion pie or some weird comb...

Hands. down. the best vegan brunch in Manchester. I've never seen anywhere do a vegan french toast! I love the variety and flavours and presentation. Love all of the inventive non caffeine options of hot drinks for my friends that can't dri...

Food was just alright but the atmosphere was nice! It did get a bit crowded at lunch time and there were long queues to place an order
Pricing

Coffee is good but the 50 pence surcharge for oat milk is ridiculously excessive.
3★ · 2024-02-12
A lovely little coffee shop in the heart of the city with amazing food including a good variety of vegan options. Reason for a 3-star rating overall is because they are still charging extra for milk alternatives in 2024 which is really surp...
Inconsistent Service
A few reviewers report slow service or occasional instances of unhelpful and rushed staff behavior.

Awful experience- We went in after a recommendation from our colleague in hopes for a decent Chai Latte... extra hot. As with every coffee shop, if you're not happy with your drink, they would just either change it for you or make it better...
