Manchester Press

Had a great breakfast at the Manchester Press! The food is absolutely delicious and there is literally something on the menu for everyone! The coffee is also great! We had an iced coffee and a mocha, both where really good! The staff we very friendly and the cafe it’s self was really pretty! 5/5 stars from me

A stop for late lunch that was highlighted by the coffee, wow! I can’t think of another that comes to mind. Nice space considering the location down the ally way. The food was unfortunately not as good. The actual bread of the bagels wasn’t really notable for mouth feel or taste. The menu had a few unique sounding options but my choice, the eggplant, was smothered in yogurt so felt like it was a lacking contrast in texture as a meal.

Bagels are high quality and delicious. Chai is brewed in house using their own blend of leaves - so creamy with the perfect harmony of spices. Staff are super friendly. Ordered a chai latte but forgot to ask for soy milk bc unfortunately am lactose intolerant and they were kind enough to make a new batch free of charge!

To call it a bad experience is an understatement. FOOD: The bagels were fine. Avo smash was quite tasteless overall without the feta. Bacon and maple bagel was good however and I enjoyed it. SERVICE: Here’s where the one star rating starts. Me calling the service bad is considered a compliment. Wrong coffee served and all they did was put some cocoa powder and choc sauce into my coffee, was rudely told to “move” when they wanted to clean the table even though I was going out of the way and finally, when I asked for a tax invoice and whether there were physical copies, someone told me “we’re trying to save the planet”. I didn’t come for snarky comments or subpar service. Do better. Overall, the food was fine but everything about the service is abhorrent. Paying $23 for bagels is fine to me if the whole experience is pleasant but I’m appalled by the service. Will not be returning.
