Visited in December. Certainly seems to offer the old school type cafe meals although I only had a coffee. Staff were very friendly. It has to entrances so wrap up as in winter it can be a bit draughty

I eat here whenever I am in Manchester. I like both the cooked breakfasts and lunch menu. It is usually busy, so you're expected to eat up and leave, as the table is needed for people waiting.
