Called in for coffee, amazing coffee options, well presented and fantastic taste, a lot higher quality than the 'normal' chains. Can't recommend highly enough.

A lovely little Vienna cafe by the road. Huge glass panels offer a beautiful outside view, passerby and passing by trams. Coffee is delightful. Had a peanut butter bagel and it was tasty. Scorn was lovely with the jam. Ambience in the cafe is very nice to have a short break from the busy city life. Service is prompt and friendly.

Went here after an overnight in Manchester city centre and the food and service is excellent. There's a wide range of food and cater for dietary requirements too. The atmosphere is weird though. There's no music and if you're not looking out at the street all you will see and hear is the staff walking back and forth to the kitchen. Shame really.

Very solid breakfast place. I had a ham & cheese panini and a smoothie. The food was good. Price aint the worst either. £13.50 ish for that.

Had a cup of tea and a Pistachio Hazelnut slice. The white chocolate button on top was a nice addition, and it looked great, although didn’t get a lot of hazelnut flavour. Really friendly service and a warm glow of an atmosphere for a Sunday morning.

I had the French toast with berries and Clotted cream, the push n shoot smoothie and some of the fries. The food was spot on, really fresh and delicious fruit and the toast was made so well, very fluffy and flavourful. The staff were helpful and lovely. The place is decorated so well, it gives such a homely feeling.

I had the full English and tea. The food was delicious, the sausages were amazing (would highly recommend) the beans were the perfect thickness and not a runny mess, the eggs were perfect and were not runny. Basically everything tasted great. Aside from the food, the whole place has a relaxing vibe. I apologise as I forgot to take a picture of my plate when it arrived as I tucked in straight away but I can tell everyone reading this review that nothing went to waste.

Prompt service once you're there, reasonable price for the amount of food. Food was great. I had an afternoon tea with egg mayonnaise and cream cheese & cucumber sandwiches, latte with whipped cream, warm scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a slice of coffee cake. Convenient location near St Peter's Square tram stop and a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens. I gave the atmosphere 3/5 which I consider a neutral score - nothing bad, nothing fancy. It was clean and quiet. I see the review before mine marked it down for not being authentic to Vienna. I've never been to Vienna and I'm rating it as a traditional English afternoon tea. I'm taking one star off the service as they're not currently accepting reservations online and they never answer the phone so I had to go in person to book a table. I recommend an answering machine!

One of my favourite cafes in Manchester. Its just opposite to the Art Gallery. Good coffee, yummy food and many beautiful artworks on the wall. Worth to go there for a relaxing break. **just realised that the menu has been changed recently and there is no light englist breakfast (deansgate) anymore. Hopefully the owner can remain the light breakfast as full breakfast would be too much for some of the customers.**

It is been a year I am here in manchester, and with Vienna Coffee. Cafe is decent with specialties, full English is good, but my favorite is Belgium waffle, which is the best in manchester personally speaking. I used to spend hard time doing dissertation at this place, meeting friends here. I like this place with unforgettable memories. It is busy at the weekends, which is not good for study btw.

I went for breakfast on a Saturday morning, I reached easily without a reservation and was able to find a table. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I ordered flat white and eggs Benedict. Both were delicious, and the eggs Benedict was made with perfection. I recommend the place for morning coffee and breakfast

I popped in here spontaneously for a late breakfast when visiting Manchester and seeing that Viennese style coffee was offered. I have fond memories of the coffee shops in Vienna, so I had to give it a try. I had a salmon and cream cheese bagel (not explicitly on the menu, but other variations were, and there didn't seem to be any issue) and a melange coffee. My only point for improvement would be that smoked salmon should be seasoned - some cracked black pepper, dill, chives, lemon, etc. would have elevated it. My melange coffee was very nice and I would recommend trying it. The chocolate flakes on top weren't traditional, but I don't object to it! My companion had a lighter breakfast option of a cappuccino and a croissant with jam. The croissant was very nice and she liked having the miniature jar of jam that it came with. Staff were friendly and polite, cafe tidy and clean, bathroom was modern and clean. The cafe had a bit of a Skandi feel to it as well and I liked the photography on the walls. Prices were pretty reasonable. I'd definitely come back here and try another Viennese coffee option. Would love to also try some strudel here if it's available!

A nice European-style coffee shop, located opposite of the Manchester Art Gallery. Almost as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by staff, who welcome you and advise to take a seat a table, unless all you want is a quick takeaway coffee. There is a lot of space inside the coffee house. The ground floor accommodates plenty of seating in a form of armchairs and benches. There is also a mezzanine floor, where you will find more tables. Only the ground floor can be accessed by a wheelchair or with a stroller. Toilets are located on the ground floor. The Vienna Coffee House has a great atmosphere. It feels cosy and warm throughout the café, with lots of natural light coming from large windows, quiet "coffee house" music playing from the speakers. They also showcase many art pieces from a local artist on both floors. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Make sure they got your order correctly. The service was prompt and professional. I ordered Viennese Coffee (Einspanner) and a slice of the Belgian Chocolate Fudge Cake. The coffee, which basically is a double mocha with whipped cream was pretty good. I am not sure if I would order it once again (as I found it very sweet), but it is an interesting alternative to hot chocolate. The cake was nice, but simple in terms of flavour and texture. I think adding some berries or salted caramel filling would improve it drastically. The prices for both were above the average of the city centre. The menu here is very generous. There lots of options for a quick meal and a drink. The price of afternoon tea looks like a real deal. Overall, I think The Vienna Coffee House is great spot if you want to relax and enjoy your time, without paying any attention for the time. So, grab a book, a coffee, some food and enjoy some time for yourself.

Lovely little cafe in a good spot, food was lovely and well presented, the ingredients were good quality and well cooked. Cafe spotless, prices fine and service friendly. Would have been 5 stars but let down by cheap brown sauce in sachets, which is a shame to slip up on something so simple.

If you like good coffee this is a great cafe to choose in central Manchester. They are always friendly here too and have a great range of cakes to try. Their breakfasts are awesome as well. The egg (I had mine poached) barm with mushrooms is good value and the French toast with peanut butter and banana delicious. One of my favourite Manchester cafes.

Great place. Excellent central location next to St Peter’s Square. Nice food and coffee, helpful staff. Best of all IT IS QUIET. Gentle piano jazz at very low volume. Excellent place to read or do your “WFH” laptop stuff. Highly recommended, especially the brekkie granola.
