We enjoyed our visit for the first time to Federals this morning. There was a long wait of 25 min in the rain as the cafe isn’t huge or have a lot of seating. Nevertheless, once we got our table we placed our orders. The french toast was by far the standout item, exquisite, the clotted cream was delicious. The Turkish eggs also tasted fresh, authentic and rustic. Overall a pleasant experience, can be tiring with the long wait times and not the most spacious place to bring a baby buggy into

There was a queue but we got seated within 60seconds. We had sensational oat flat white and one spilt on the way to us, we were adamant it was fine but he insisted on getting us a new one. Amazing service, amazing coffee, can’t wait to come back to try the menu. Highly recommend

Had a birthday brunch at Federal Cafe and it was lovely! I had the Turkish eggs and it was a very tasty dish. Also shared the French toast and it was so good! Lovely breakfast options. Bathroom has a baby changing table. The tables did fill up quick on a Friday morning so I’d recommend being there early, especially if you have a big group of you(not sure if they take bookings over the phone as I didn’t try to do this). They do have individual cubbys for single diners and there were at least two available when I went.

Best breakfast/brunch I've had in aaaages! I got the Turkish eggs, the breakfast caprese special and French toast. Legitimately so tasty. Loved every bite.

Not only the food and friendly staff, I also liked the environment once I walked in. The atmosphere is so comfortable to sit inside. What's even better is the cafe is right across the road of John Dalton Building of MMU. It feels like I was visiting my past when I was a university student many years ago while enjoying my food looking outside the window.

French toast is definitely the star of the show and a must-have! Also got the Today's Specials which had been the chocolate bread pudding. They ran out of cherries so we got strawberries instead, which was more of our preference anyway. As a sweet tooth, this is just the right kind of delicacy that I need. I like how the fruits (blueberries/strawberries) were able to balance out the sweetness of the caramel drizzle and chocolate sauce on the dishes. Also the crumble seasoned on the french toast, seemingly unimportant, had been an essential player to give that bit of crunch to the soft and mellowy toast. And the whipped cream on top, surprisingly and in a good way, had been of thick and blocky instead of your usual fluff and airy texture.

It's my favourite place to have breakfast in Manchester. The eggs benedict with bacon is AMAZING. 😋
