Cafe W

Had such a lovely time at Café W! Visited with a few friends and we were all impressed. The coffee was spot on — rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. We tried their muffins and cakes too, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The ambience was warm and inviting, a perfect spot to catch up or unwind. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great coffee and a cosy vibe in the area!

Absolutely love Café W! This place has such a relaxing vibe—perfect whether you want to read, work, or catch up with a friend. The coffee is top-notch (especially the flat white!), and the cakes and pastries are always fresh and delicious. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and never rush you. It’s my go-to spot whenever I need a break or inspiration. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Café W — it’s the perfect spot whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee, catching up with friends, or settling in with a book. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with plenty of cosy corners and a calm vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the cakes and pastries are always fresh and delicious (the carrot cake is a must-try!). The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do — nothing is too much trouble for them. I also appreciate how clean and well-kept the space is, with lovely décor and comfy seating. If you’re in Deansgate and looking for a great independent café, Café W is a definite favourite. Highly recommended!

Very nice place,nice service, wonderful atmosphere, very good coffee and cake,I highly recommend it.

Without a doubt, this is the best café I've ever visited! Everything about it is delightful, and the staff are incredibly friendly as well. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

This coffee shop inside Waterstones is a true hidden gem in Manchester City centre. The staff are attentive, their coffee is creamy and delicious. Their selection of cakes is also great and the environment is lovely and quiet. Keep up the good work!

Amazing atmosphere and great Customer service, food is well presented and great value for money, the range of food is comprehensive. They also do too good to go bags and you get a great deal at less than £4!!! Can't wait to go again

Nice cafe on the second floor of Waterstones. Service is friendly, although a little slow. Due to little space on the counter for serving drinks and food and the speed of the service, it means that the people behind in the queue will end up leaning over your cakes to reach the card reader, which is a little off-putting and potentially unhygienic.
