I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chapter One Books in Manchester, and I must say, it left quite an impression. The atmosphere in this cozy coffee place was simply wonderful, making it a perfect retreat, especially on those rainy days. One of the highlights for me was the food. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast; it was delicious and well-prepared. The coffee also met my expectations, which is a must for any coffee lover. What sets Chapter One Books apart is the exceptional service. The staff was friendly and attentive, going the extra mile by serving everything at your table, a rare and appreciated touch that not many coffee places offer. However, I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars for a couple of reasons. The food did take a bit longer to arrive than expected, even though the place wasn’t very busy. Additionally, I found the prices a tad on the expensive side, especially the £5 latte. Nonetheless, these minor drawbacks aside, Chapter One Books is undeniably a great place. If you’re looking for a spot to relax, read, or work while sipping on a cup of tea or coffee, this place should be on your list. It provides a welcoming ambiance, tasty food, and a friendly staff that make it a worthwhile visit. I’d recommend it, particularly for a cozy escape on a gloomy day in Manchester.
