One of the nicest little coffee houses in Manchester. Lovely for a first date. Really cosy. Staff are friendly and service is really good too. Great working space too or for meetings.

I loved everything about this little cafe , the coffee was perfect, and so is their food. Definitely try their granola and their toasts . You can even choose the kind of bread you want.

Sarah Badrock

The toasted sandwiches are delicious, the coffee tastes great and there are delicious cakes which just so happen to be gluten free . There is outdoor seating ideal for people watching on sunnier days.

Fig and Sparrow is a small, cosy and design-centric place. Part homeware shop, part cafe , it's the perfect haven when escaping the hordes on Oldham Street and Piccadilly.

Katie Sage

Really great coffee , amazing aroma and some lovely homeware to browse whilst you wait (there is a bit of a wait when it's busy)

Sam M

Great coffee and atmosphere . Can get quite busy but you can browse the random things in the shop while you are waiting. Coming back for food and bread .

Dana Carson

A lovely beet and mackerel salad . Great espresso as well . A nice break from all the airport food I have been eating.

Robert Green

Yes indeed! Decaf latte beautifully balanced and the right kind of atmosphere; it's country kitchen in the third wave!
