The Locks Coffeehouse
4.4 / 5 (250 reviews)

Description

Nestled in Marple, the café offers a mixed experience for patrons. While many delight in the inviting atmosphere and delectable menu—which includes a range of vegan options—service inconsistencies tarnish its reputation. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and cleanliness, particularly praising the scrumptious chocolate orange brownie and breakfast offerings. However, long waits and occasional mishaps, such as a distressing experience with a cake, highlight the need for improvement in service. Despite some shortcomings, the café maintains a loyal following seeking a laid-back spot with tasty food and drinks, making it a quaint choice for locals and visitors alike.

The staff are lovely, smiley and helpful. The cafe is a little basic, but clean. The toilets are up a steep flight of stairs. What the building lacks, the food more than makes up for. I had a tandoori wrap. It was so good I'm going to have to go again next week. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Desperately poor service on a pretty quiet Sunday. 10 minutes to get a menu, after 10 more no sign of taking an order while others came in and were served at once by the three people behind the counter. Menu looked nice, but we walked out.

Not the cheapest place in Marple, but one of the friendliest. We've sat in for coffee and cakes, and on another occasion for a spot of lunch. The toilets and additional seating are upstairs. The menu is easy to read and decipher. You order at the bar area and they bring the food and drinks to you, and you pay at the end.
