When you enter, you'll probably struggle to find seating as this local Cafe has become the hang out place for Mum'n'Kids, Pensioners and the odd student who likes a good coffee.

I absolutely ADORE Mama Bears Cakes & Bakes!!! I live in the US, and my boyfriend lives in the UK,…read moreand I wanted to send him something super special for our anniversary. After searching endlessly and fruitlessly for weeks online for someone who could make exactly what I wanted, accept payment internationally, and deliver it to my BF, I messaged Mama Bear's, and the owner is an absolute ANGEL. She worked with me to decide on exactly what to create. Even though the things I asked for aren't typically items that she makes, she told me that she was a "romantic" and would be happy to make a special order for me. She even ended up adding decorations on her own because she wanted to make it extra special! Such a lovely person to work with!!! Her husband hand-delivered the cake & chocolate-covered strawberries to my boyfriend on our anniversary and even passed along a special message. My boyfriend was totally surprised and absolutely impressed with the presentation of the gift itself. He also said that the cake and strawberries were incredibly DELICIOUS!!! He really tried to ration them out to last longer, but they were so good he couldn't help eating them within about a week and a half haha. Mama Bear is the greatest, and if you live in the area, you should DEFINITELY choose her shop! I'd be there for coffee and baked goods daily if I didn't live across the pond! haha.

I've been here a few times now for a late weekend breakfast and every time I've enjoyed it…read morethoroughly. The staff are extremely friendly, I've seen the same young guy on shift every time I've been in and he makes you feel welcome every time, although I bit sorry for him having to be at work, early doors on the weekends. They have a good staple selection of traditional breakfasts, no fancy bagels or Benedict's of any sort to be found, which is not a bad thing when they use quality local sourced ingredients. As Raam pointed out in his review they use meat from Axons of Didsbury which is only a few doors further down the road. The coffee is very good and warrants a second cup with your breakfast and they've even served my friend an ultra big size each time he's asked even though it's technically not on the menu to provide him with his caffeine fix. Although I'm not a tea drinker I have it on good authority the tea selection top notch and they provide you with all the sundries which appear necessary, a separate milk pot and extra hot water provided with your loose leaf tea. There are newspapers provided and free wi-fi for those more technological media addicts. They promote local artists work on the walls as well which is a nice touch and most of the work is for sale if anythnig takes your fancy. It's something I've seen more and more in independent cafes and it's a practice of which I thoroughly approve. The only criticism which is more about the location. The tables are on the small side and wouldn't really accommodate a large group of people, this however adds to cosy cafe feel, as long as you a friendly enough with those you are eating with. It can however be a bit of a squeeze past if people are ordering or paying at the counter as you are trying to enter or leave. All in all a solid independent cafe just of the Didsbury high street, with great staff and a pleasant community feel.

There's a book shop to the back, but don't expect it to be in any kind of order, more of a horders den really. The books aren't especially cheap, but there's a decent selection if you're prepared to hunt about a bit. Free wifi, and a pretty good place to get some work done during the day, gets a bit livelier at night and has more of a bar vibe Friday/Saturday nights :)

I was looking for a place that does all day quality breakfast in the Didsbury area and Google told…read moreme that this was the place to be. I've walked past here on numerous occasions and it's always been busy so I can't believe that I'd never thought of giving it a try. We had to wait a few minutes for a table, but it was obvious that the staff were trying their hardest to clear tables and get people seated as quickly as possibly. Due to the cafe being so busy we expected to wait a while to be served but after a few minutes someone came over to take our order. We also didn't have to wait very long for our food to arrive either - the kitchen staff were clearly running around like headless chickens, but the food came out looking like a piece of art on the plate. I ordered eggs Benedict royal which has salmon in place the of the ham and my friend had normal eggs Benedict. All of the eggs were runny in the middle and the sauce was to die for. The portion sizes were great as well, we were both happily full afterwards. After sitting and chatting for a while whilst drinking tea, we saw a few people ordering slices of cake, the cake looked delicious so we headed over to the counter to have a look at the options. There was a good selection of around 6 different cakes. I opted for the banoffee pie and I'm so glad I did. Each mouthful was a little taste of heaven - crunchy base, creamy topping and a flavoursome banoffee filling with little chunks of banana. Yum. The only fault I can give is the name of this place - its not really a 'deli' more of an italian themed coffee shop, apart from that, it was absolutely amazing. The staff were friendly, the food was of exceptional quality and the menu was pretty big too so there's plenty more things to try on my next visits.

We did not bother to complain, as he was so disinterested serving us, we thought we may as well save our breath. The other reviews say it is great so maybe it was an off day, but not sure I would try it again!! Should be a little goldmine in that location, and with that view, such a shame

At the moment the toilets are not open but I know they're working on getting them open. Also in school holidays the local school puts on a hearts trail which is a lovely way to see the park and fun for the kids. The trail sheets are available for a voluntary donation at the cafe. Highly recommended.
