Was Jvalant at Rowntrees a mag?

I had 3-4 trips to this shopping centre so everytime I had to wait while others shopped, I would try out a new coffee place. This was decent without being spectacular. Worth a visit. View all feedback.

After checking the restaurant's opening hours online, I arrived around 3:15pm. A server approached the counter and asked for my order. Despite seeing mushrooms and other breakfast items still on display, I inquired about bacon/sausage sandwiches. Another server chimed in and informed me that they were no longer serving those items.

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.

I stopped by for a quick lunch before an event at the AO. The staff was friendly and there was a wide variety of options on the menu. The food quality was just okay - the omelette was alright but on the smaller side, and the chips were lukewarm.

Feeling confused by the response, I decided to go to Café North instead and enjoyed a (likely better) bacon, sausage, and egg sandwich there.

I was extremely disappointed after visiting this restaurant. I initially planned on having the homemade pie but changed my mind at the last minute and ordered the big breakfast instead. It turned out to be a big mistake. The only thing I enjoyed on the plate was the bacon. The sausage was terrible, the mushrooms had a strange grey color and tasted like they had been boiled, and the black pudding was undercooked. Overall, I would not recommend this place and will not be returning.

My boyfriend and I eat here all the time! The fish and chips are great, the breakfasts are great, it's all great. The staff are lovely. Good value for money. Lovely pics of the Coronation St characters on the walls. Can't speak highly enough of the place.
