Love it here!

So glad to have this nearby. I just love the setting and the fact that they don't sell any meat is the cherry on top.
Had the soup of the day today which was Thai Butternut that came with thick bread and dairy free spread on request.
Cinnamon bun Latte was on the Autumn specials so I requested this with Oat milk and it was nice!

Pros: Good prices , Clearly labelled menu , Plenty of options

Excellent soup of the day - nice and hot - and the mushroom with spinach

Nice cozy place - staff are very nice. Great place to sit outside

Pros: Good value for money, Hot soup

Cons: Difficult to find by google - one ways, Parking is opposite the main road along houses., No parking at entrance of the snug

My absolute favourite place

Put simply , this is my favourite place in town! I’m here every morning for my fuel and every evening for me ‘close the day off’ beer ! Amazing service by awesome people , top quality and gorgeous food and a really good vibe to the place ! I honestly don’t go anywhere else in town now - no matter what the time of day is ! Highly recommended !

Pros: Service and atmosphere , Drink quality, Good quality

Cons: Closes too early

Much more than a coffee house.

Hidden down the cobbles of Atherton, this vegetarian cafe serves as a meetup spot day and night. During the day, there are loads of vegan and vegetarian food options. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. As well as coffee and food, they also have live music gigs almost every week. Would recommend.

Pros: Good value , Friendly staff, Great atmosphere

Friendly hidden gem

The Snug is a very welcoming friendly place with fantastic staff. It serves delicious food. Its also a good place if you just want to have coffee and cake, as it caters for all with a variety of types of milk. They also host regular live music nights, which are always great. They have a vast and varied beer selection, which IMO is one of the best in the area.

Pros: Good food, Good beverages, Good staff

Cons: Shuts early

What a great lunch 😋

Called in up the cobbled alleyway for a quick lunch.
Very impressed by the menu choice and the specials that seem to change daily.
There is are great range of teas, many ways to have coffee and a bewildering variety of craft beers.
We sat outside under cover as although dogs are welcome, it’s better outside.
Highly recommended and will be back again soon
Plenty of dog biscuits too 😊

Pros: Menu Choice, Quality of Food, Great friendly staff

Cons: I was driving so couldn’t try a beer

My favourite place to go on a Saturday afternoon!

Great food, great atmosphere! The music is fantastic and the staff are just lovely. I go most weeks while my kids are dancing to just sit, eat, drink, chill & listen to the music. In summer it's a little sun trap & if you fancy a beer you can have one! It's a great, friendly, sociable place. All my food choices have been delicious and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new veggie specials!

Pros: Great choice of food & drink, Very friendly staff, Fantastic atmosphere

Absolutely delicious

I have eaten here a few times and never been disappointed. The chunky toast with avocado mushrooms and scrambled egg is to die for, the staff are amazing they will change things around on the menu if you need them to. They are all so polite and happy at work, it's a really cool atmosphere has a good feel vibe.
Obviously well into different genres of music the deco is fabulous, lovely little hideaway to relax in.

Pros: Clean, Lots of choice , Alcohol

Amazing home cooked veggie and vegan food

Honestly amazing food. The cafe went fully vegetarian after lockdown which is amazing!! The chef does new home made specials every week with seasonal ingredients and I’m yet to try something by him that I don’t like! The coffee is fresh and strong and they have oat, soya, coconut milk too. Just a great place all round that id definitely recommend!

New chef new menu gorgeous veggie/vegan food

The new menu is amazing, gorgeous choice of veggie and vegan food. No longer serving any form of meat or fish. I especially lived the mushroom burrito it was gorgeous. I love the detox tea aswell. Also serves alcohol and had band on nights too for unsigned bands from all over the country. Sun trap in the summer cosy on the winter. Get down 😁😁😁😁

Pros: Atmosphere, Fresh food, Vegan and veggie

Cons: Nothing

Wouldn’t go back

This place requires a lot of improvement. Very ramshackle, no hot water in bathroom or anything to dry hands on (hand dryer didn’t work). Incredibly basic menu with no vegan options marked, only knew from happy cow about asking for dairy free spread for the beans on toast we had. No sparkling water. Seemed to struggle coping wit the 5 tables they had in.
