Highly overrated… disappointed to see this rating for undercooked bacon , overcooked poached eggs and misleading description on the menu… not recommended!

This is a super spot for fab food. We had breakfast there recently and Harry looked after us so well. If he doesn’t own the business then whoever does is blessed to have him! The food was absolutely delicious as well.

Cadre chaleureux. Offre de brunch assez varié et plutôt qualitative. Remerciements à Chloé et Rachel pour leur super service et leurs good vibes. Je recommande

What an amazing time we had there. I went with my little one and everyone was so friendly since we enter the door. A cute lady stayed with my boy while I was ordering the food. The an amazing gentleman helped us to clean the hot chocolate that we spilled everywhere.
The food was amazing, we had poached eggs with salmon and french toast (I am still dreaming about that dish), the coffee was the best one I ever had!
Looking forward to go back!!!

I recently visited Federal Northern Quarter and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was so welcoming and full of positive energy. The aesthetics are on point and the food was just as impressive as the atmosphere. You can tell that the staff truly cares about the experience they offer, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Sam was amazing from the moment we got there. He brought the vibes and the great energy and made us feel right at home. Keeping us company in the queue, he had a good laugh with us and the wait didn’t feel like anything at all with the lovely company. It’s the kind of place that just makes you feel good, and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, vibrant spot with great food and an even better atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious food. I was initially sceptical as lots of places like Federal are over hyped due to social media- I am so glad I was wrong. Our server Sam was extremely welcoming, charismatic and charming and not only made us feel comfortable but gave us a few laughs too. Speedy service considering the queues outside, and we didn’t feel pressured to eat up and leave straight away. Vibes- immaculate. Very impressed. Will be back.

I ordered the shrooms and halloumi with fried egg instead of poached - I could have ordered this anywhere but the added dukkah mix really took it somewhere different. The coffee was delicious also. We had to wait about 20mins but the waiter was friendly and offered us free coffee whilst waiting due to the rain after sheltering us with an umbrella. The vibe inside was a pleasant hum of chatter and laughter - ideal and the plants made the place really cosy. No wonder it’s popular!

I'm not from Manchester. We walked around to find a good place and found this gem. I literally just had the food a few minutes ago there! It was really good; I had the french toast not too sweet, and iced coffee with it goes super well. My dad had a turkish brunch ; stole some of his as well. The sausages are salty, which pair well with the garlic sauce, and the sour dough blances it out so much So good. I loved it. The people were really sweet and also really, really pretty!!

The nicest places in Manchester!
I went to the Oxford road where Christine and all of the other employees were the loveliest people ever! They were so friendly and helpful setting the atmosphere wonderful throughout the day, the food is divine and the matcha and bramble smoothie is the best honestly!

I ordered a decaf mocha, but I can now guarantee I was given a regular one instead. It’s been more than 20 hours, and I haven’t slept at all since yesterday. My heart rate was through the roof during the night, and I felt awful.
This isn’t just an inconvenience, caffeine can have serious effects on people, and requests for decaf should be taken as seriously as an allergy. I made it very clear that I wanted decaf, yet didn’t bother to get it right. I’m extremely disappointed by the lack of care.
I don’t like leaving low reviews for businesses, but in this case, I have to. It’s a shame because it’s a really nice spot, but after this experience, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have anything to drink there again. I hope this helps take these requests seriously in the future for others.

Had to wait ~15 minutes outside to be seated because it was full, but definitely worth the wait. Friendly staff, good food and great atmosphere!

I've been to Federal's countless times & it's my all time favorite breakfast place. I travelled a lot of countries, tried many cafés & places but nothing beats this...
My go to is the Avo & Salmon Sourdough + the French Toast.
There is usually always a queue showing how good the food & coffee really is.
