Located in the heart of Norden Village, on the bustling Edenfield Road, this small café has a 'Last…read moreof the Summer Wine' kind of vibe to it, with a warm, friendly atmosphere and old-fashioned interior (but alas no Nora Batty). If you order a hot drink, it comes in a Grandma-esque tea cup and not a paper or polystyrene container. It's a mug-free zone so you probably won't see any burly lorry drivers in here. For a cuppa, a cake, a bacon sandwich or a Full English breakfast, this is a pleasant enough spot to stop in if you're nearby. Tip: parking availability in the village can be very hit and miss, especially on the weekends. You might have to find a space on one of the side streets.

Desperate for a tea and cake after walking the Great Ridge we came hear having seen reviews online…read more Cake selection was good and service was quick although the tea room wasn't too busy. We had one piece of the carrot cake which was delicious. Had a pot of tea each which gave us a good 3 cups full each. Bill came to £7.20. Service good and tea room was cosy. The menu had some interesting info about the history of the site. Strange to see customers going outside to use the toilets.

My boyfriend took me here to enjoy the nature which was really lovely. As a suprise he had booked a table for 4pm. Unfortunately due to covid you cannot be seated inside the building. At the time it was sunny so I was fine to sit outside, peering longingly through the windows at the crystal chandeliers. The menu was basic containing mostly sandwiches, cakes and quiches. We ended up going for the afternoon tea which was £16 per person along with a milkshake. It was going quite nicely until a couple with their kid sat close by , which it was making a racket and spilled tea all over the table...and it started to get really cold... the tea arrived but with no milk.. by the time we got this the tea was stone cold. Oh and my partners coffee was rushed, on top of the plunger of the cafetière lay smooshed coffee beans, so he had a gritty coffee.. The three tiers arrived, I personally think one between us would have been suffice as we couldn't see each other haha and it left little room on the table. The bottom layer contained thin strips of sandwiches with the crusts cut off, an egg, beef & horseradish , smoked salmon & cream cheese, and a ham and cheese one.. oh and a quiche.. it was all really tasty. The 2nd layer had a scone with clotted cream and jam and on the side x2 marshmellows with chocolate sauce. The top layer held a small piece of brownie, a tiramisu and another cake oh and some fruit. Overall it was plesant enough but I found the prices steep for what we actually received . I would probably grab a drink here a very light bite when we can sit indoors again but nothing more. Service was plesant but forgetful, I could hear throughout our time there staff apologising to other customers about certain things..

The staff were lovely and accommodating for our group. A couple of us ordered their Club Sandwich and the portions were hearty, with the separate portions of chips being crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (i.e. how they should be!). It's in a great location after a walk around the lake, though given its size it would definitely get very busy during the more popular times of the week. Be sure to check out their deli counter for the likes of scones and other baked goodies.

As soon as you walk in your greeted by a great team! Kava serves amazing coffee! (Obviously) fancy something a little different for breakfast or lunch then come and place your bum in here and relax. If there's nothing on their menu that isn't enticing you then they'll be happy to make you up something that more suites your palette that day. With a new alcohol licence they now stay open that little bit later! Great place, great staff, amazing food and beverages!! Well done guys!! This place will soon be Oldham's little hot spot!!

I've been to the Riverside Cafe countless times and it has never disappointed. My family ritually…read moretakes over half the small space for brunch and a 'natter' and the staff are very accommodating with prams and walking sticks and extra people. One half of the small building (by the river as the name suggests, but not overlooking it) is their kitchen, the rest light and airy with about six or seven round tables perfect for families and groups. It does get to be a bit of a squeeze in there at times though. On their walls are their chalked up specials and paintings for sale borrowed from the People's Gallery across the road. This cafe is perfect for traditional English breakfast and lunches like paninis, baked potatoes, soups with specials like lasagne and chilli con carne all under £5. They also provide a takeaway service which is pretty popular at lunchtimes.

It is nice to come here if you are waiting for the next train and want something warm to eat. Or even just a good old gossip with your mate. Either way they are accommodating. They help local businesses too by providing takeouts. The place is small but then again it is not meant to be a massive cafe. It is small and quaint to fit in with the town. The river Tame flows right next to it. It is pretty and has photos of the local areas on the walls.

Inside, the views are quite nice as it is mostly glass, however, the area in between the seating and counter, perhaps closer to the counter seemed a little dirty and it felt like it was left behind when this place was being built, so isn't as nice as other parts of the building. The staff didn't seem too helpful when I asked about their gluten free options, they basically gave me a reluctant and easy answer that they couldn't offer anything due to the cross-contamination risk, I eventually asked if they would make me a jacket potato and the server also was reluctant and hesitant with the response, she didn't seem sure, she just said "yes". This was disappointing and didn't fill me with faith eating here. The board at the counter which shows Parliament is quite cool, trying to link into the name of Parliament Square. I don't feel the response, confidence, helpfulness and friendliness of staff was good enough, and neither was the overall selection, some parts of the store just felt not as nice/new as they should, and sadly I'm struggling to justify anything other than a single one star for Parliament Square Cafe & Deli in Oldham.
