What a great place !! nice little place pretty crowded, seems to be popular with lots of merch and great coffee and a breakfast menu. That was exactly what I was looking for. this is a great place that is clean, super busy, makes great coffee and their breakfast is to die for! I got a full English breakfast with sausage ham, bacon, beans, eggs, potatoes, and it was just exactly what I was looking for. They have merchandise hanging on the wall, fun environment, even at 9 AM. There was almost a line out the door trying to wait for tables. The server was spot on, everyone was helpful, engaging just what I love in a local eatery. Highly recommend.!!!!

Considering this place is a (smallish) chain - they seem to get it right!…read more I've only seen them in the suburbs of Greater Manchester but they're a handy go to if you're stuck somewhere lacking in independents. I like the fact that the staff are always pretty bubbly, easy going and super friendly - it doesn't seem fake and don't seem understaffed and overworked like some of the big chains seem to be. The coffee isn't bad and the surroundings 'Costa-ery' but a little better - I like the fact that they support local farmers for milk and even have a 2nd hand book exchange system upstairs. Nice touches!

Great coffee shop. Really friendly staff. (Manager recognized us after going twice& now makes an…read moreeffort to let on... In a non-creepy way). A cosy regular of ours. Good coffee and relaxed atmosphere. Can get busy on Saturdays. Gorgeous cakes and waffels.

Popped in for lunch the other day as I was in the area and had read some great stuff on Yelp. Well…read moreYelp did not fail me as this place is brilliant! Cute little cafe in Stockport with a rather extensive menu for it's style of venue! I was split between ordering a Panini or a Jacket Potato, which means I now have to go back and try the former as I chose the latter. I had beans and cheese on top and it was fantastic. Along with my food I had a Flat White (shock I know) and then because I was feeling rather fat from stuffing my face all week, I had a Broccoli, Pear and Kiwi juice drink and to my surprise I loved it! All this set me back £10, which is pretty much unbeatable, especially when you consider I used their free wifi for the best part of 2 hours! If you are ever in Heaton Moor, or even the wider Stockport area, Juniper is well worth a visit for a spot of lunch or a cake!

I found myself out for a day in Heaton Moor and if the truth be known was horribly hungover from…read morethe night before. As my companions I had my wife and 8 month old baby and as the day went on more and more, the crushing pain in my cranium and need for coffee and stodge was getting stronger and stronger. My daughter was sensing I was not feeling the best so decided to cry as much as she's ever done in the afternoon, thus prohibiting our entry into many a coffee option but just as it looked like we were giving up hope and I'd have to rely on a quick coffee to go, she fell asleep and we got a kick ass table inside the lovely juniper. A favourite of my wife and her baby group, juniper is a very cool deli and coffeeshop with room for about 10 people to sit outside and about 30 indoors. The staff were friendly and the place was cool and well decorated throughout with a family friendly environment. So basically I got to the promised land and I nailed an amazing ham and mozzarella panini and a macchiato - wow this was good, like heaven. I once received an emergency blood transfusion and this was the next best thing as it really brought me round back to who I was. Juniper - I'll be back, less hungover and wanting to try more on the menu!

Really really enjoyed popping into this super cool and super chilled coffee shop in Stockport…read more A really nice setting with you guessed it, a cycling theme - their flat whites and lattes really hit the spot and were cheaper than city centre prices! Really friendly staff, great tunes and an ambience making it perfect for any time of the day - I look forward to going back to try their food. *they also do evening supper clubs with the excellent Nasi Lemak and whiskey tastings so keep an eye on them for more details.

I needed to nip into stockport today to buy my husband a food processor (always marry a man that…read morecooks!) and thought this would be the perfect excuse to nip into Tandem....whom i'd being meaning to visit for a while. Its slightly hidden away, bit higher up the street from Robinsons and a bit lower down than Richer sounds...so isn't likely to pick up passing trade as easily, but i think its worth the 2 minute walk off the main highstreet. Spotlessly clean and with delightfully lovely staff it was a real pleasure visiting Tandem today. I had red pepper and houmous bagel for just £2 - nicely priced and makes working from a coffee shop more affordable and therefore something i can do more often. Wi-Fi is free and streamed the programme i was watching without any glitches...so another tick for working from there. And a final tick for providing a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. My favourite thing though....they are one of the only coffee shops that have delivered a hot chocolate to absolute perfection. Hot, not too much foam, not too thick, but still absolutely chocolately (and with teeny marshmallows). I am so impressed (as you wouldn't believe how many people seem to get this wrong). when i asked about it she said it takes a little longer than normal to make as they have to melt the limini drops slowly (that's the chocolate) and whisk it, but in my opinion it is well worth the wait. I will definitely definitely be back and look forward to trying their panini's.

What a great place for breakfast! My hotel doesn't have an English breakfast, and I was looking for…read morea good coffee and English breakfast so walked around until we found this place to come in. The real deal Café, super nice staff, great coffee. I only have powdered eggs in my hotel and at least three times a week. I have ventured out to a new place to try a good English breakfast and coffee. Good crowd, clean, great service and mostly a really nice English breakfast. Everything is expensive these days so I know some think this is a bit steep, but 12 pounds is not that much for what you get. Will come back again with pictures, but this really hit the spot and got me going for the day. Highly recommend.!!!!

The cakes are absolutely amazing at this place, it's just a shame the service doesn't live up to…read morethe same standard. I have been there twice now and both times found the waitresses rude and the service slow. When ordering a slice of cake and a pot of tea I would have expected them to be served together, instead I received the cake first with a 5 minutes wait before the tea arrived. I would return because the cakes are so good!

So I was on my way back through Alexandra Park (lovely leafy place with 3 reservoirs near my house) when I spotted this kiosk selling coffee. If the truth be known I actually needed to use the loo too but I thought 'you know what, it's a sunny day - I should take a load off and sit outside for an hour' - and that was a really good decision in the end! Basically a little hut only open on Sat and Sun in good weather, they sell coffee at really low prices (proper beans too) - £1 for a flat white and alongside teas and other drinks also sell bacon or sausage toastie's for £1.80 each. Really friendly people who run it and the effort is really appreciated for them opening it up and serving to the public each week.
