Perfect for gluten free and super cute.

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.
This casual spot offers a great ambiance for a relaxed experience with friendly staff and lovely decor. It's well-suited for those seeking gluten-free options, including a noted gluten-free breakfast that many find worth the wait.

I love this place. I am a regular here, whether it’s just to get a takeaway drink or sit in and get some work done over a great brunch. They have gluten free and vegan options and the quality and quantity is great. My favourite is always the soups which are always changing. And usually their drinks are always great.
However I got an iced matcha with oat milk today and was VERY disappointed. There was practically no matcha. The drink was very light green and very milky. Just semi-matcha flavoured milk. This is the one drink I wouldn’t recommend or get again. It was £4.90 and just not worth it. Very bland and no flavour. Left me quite upset and let down as I do like this spot so much and am always purchasing from them.
I then went in about 2 weeks later to sit in and ordered another iced matcha and what I got was shocking. The drink was TINY and gone in about 2 sips, mind you half of the drink was just ice. So disappointing and just a rip off. (I have shown a picture of the drink next to my index finger for reference of how small the glass of matcha I was served really was.)
I understand matcha is expensive but if you can’t serve quality drinks or offer the option of to add extra matcha powder then don’t serve the drink period.
This vibrant spot offers a friendly, diner-style atmosphere buzzing with energy and a chill ambiance perfect for gluten-free diners. The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating, ensuring a welcoming experience for those seeking gluten-free and vegan options.

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

Service extremely slow - non existent interaction with staff, we just walked in and found a table after waiting a few minutes. Wasn't that busy when we visited, ordered at the bar instead of downloading an app.
Very disappointing portion size for the price, food was also not that hot. Tasted ok but wouldn't rush back.
The booths with individual TVs were a nice touch to be able to see the TV if you wish. Music very loud so not the best for small babies/children.
Very detailed menus - separate ones for gluten free and vegan. Great choice but not well presented.

The atmosphere and look of the venue is great but if you are needing a gluten free option be prepared to feel excluded as there was nothing except the craft beer vender.
I have to say I expected way more from a venue that comes across as a modern and cosmopolitan food destination and hoped that there would be some venders providing some allergen friendly options but disappointingly there seemed little to no effort from them.
Despite there being no allergen info against it on the menu, I thought steak and Fries would be an easy gluten free option but when I asked the server at the counter I was blutlently told there is cross contamination on their grill and they can provide no gaurentees.
As I was out with family and didnt want to ask everyone to change their plans I thought to take a measured risk and go for steak and fries. It was over cooked for a medium steak and for £20 it seemed overpriced. To make things worse the steak and fries were covered in rock salt which took away any taste the food would of had.
I didn't feel comfortable returning my food given the way I was spoken to when enquiring about allergens.
The gluten free beer options were great, top marks to those guys for making the effort 😍
Celiac friendly
