Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester

Great food, great cakes, shindigger beer... Lovely staff and a brilliant selection of records uostairs in the store

nice vibe, good food, good people, not pretentious and the coffee is nice. I highly recommend the vegan full English :)

Currently sat here, having ordered a couple of sandwiches over an hour ago. Enquired multiple times about our food, and got assured twice it was being plated and brought out this very minute.. That was 20 minutes ago now. I wish I could review the food but at this rate I'm doubtful ill actually eat anything here. There are plenty of other cafes around that seem to be actually serving their customers so I'd recommend literally any other one.

I didn't realise this was a record shop, we came in for food and a drink - the pastrami toastie was so good I was gobsmacked.Quality ingredients put together with artistry.

Sunday midday visit, party of two. Hour wait from arriving to getting our food, and part of the order had been forgotten (would have been another lengthy wait to make the missing food). The guy that took our order was very nice though, and the food was decent. Can't say I'll be going back though.

Worst breakfast eating experience.First, got served second to a group of 25 lads who we had arrived before, so had to wait lengths for simple coffee and water order.Second, food and smoothies were dreadful.Egg's Benedict:Tough bread, dry bacon, overcooked eggSmoothie:Flavourless with a hint of coconut milkThird, London prices.Kitchen staff need an upgrade.

Sat outside for breakfast a few weekends ago. Plenty of choice on the menu depending on how hungry you are! I had the eggs benedict which was really nice, and the full English looked good too. Friendly staff. Prices average for NQ.

Good outside seating and that's it. The toilets are tiny, stink awful and really need cleaning and redecorating, they remind me of something from Trainspotting. The waitress (I only saw one) is the most miserable, rude woman I've ever met. We had 2 drinks and both times she brought them to our table, waved a card machine in our face then walked off without so much as a thank you or a smile! The menu has a variety of cocktails but none of them are available. The coffee machine was off so I couldn't have a Martini Espresso, something else was missing (I think it was some kind of syrup) so my girlfriend couldn't have what she wanted, so we ended up with pretty much the only cocktail they had the ingredients for! Plenty of bars in the area that are much better and more cheerful than this.

Mocha and turmeric latte were both absolutely cracking. One of the best we've had. Plenty of seating outside. Excellent to chill on a non rainy day

by far the dopest record shop i’ve been to not only in the UK, but in my life. shopkeeper was super keen to chat up the local music scene, play records and just generally vibe. super cool guy and a super cool spot. definitely stop by if you’re in the area- you will not be disappointed.
