The Vienna Coffee House in Manchester

I popped in here spontaneously for a late breakfast when visiting Manchester and seeing that Viennese style coffee was offered. I have fond memories of the coffee shops in Vienna, so I had to give it a try.I had a salmon and cream cheese bagel (not explicitly on the menu, but other variations were, and there didn't seem to be any issue) and a melange coffee.My only point for improvement would be that smoked salmon should be seasoned - some cracked black pepper, dill, chives, lemon, etc. would have elevated it.My melange coffee was very nice and I would recommend trying it. The chocolate flakes on top weren't traditional, but I don't object to it!My companion had a lighter breakfast option of a cappuccino and a croissant with jam. The croissant was very nice and she liked having the miniature jar of jam that it came with.Staff were friendly and polite, cafe tidy and clean, bathroom was modern and clean. The cafe had a bit of a Skandi feel to it as well and I liked the photography on the walls. Prices were pretty reasonable.I'd definitely come back here and try another Viennese coffee option. Would love to also try some strudel here if it's available!

Had a lovely sit-down coffee break after visiting Manchester Art Gallery as it’s just over the road. Staff really friendly and helpful. A lovely place to stop for coffee and cake!

I was in Manchester for the day and decided to check out this coffee shop near the arts museum.The staff came and grabbed our orders. I asked for their flat white with regular milk. They have milk alternatives as well.The coffee itself was pretty good even though I don’t really drink coffee that often to know the difference (I enjoyed it).

Nice selection of coffee and varied menu. Coffee was decent but not as smooth as I like it, but I suspect that's down to personal preference. Staff were nice enough but generally not a massively warm welcome. Toilet was good, with decent access but the lack of a sanitary bin and a very feeble hand dryer meant it didn't quite hit the excellent mark! Good space, with good distance between tables, plus the mezzanine level gives a nice view. The art on the walls is beautiful and well displayed. The jazz playing is a little intrusive but not unpleasant. Overall a decent experience.

Great wheelchair accessible venue with especially helpful staff and delicious food. Has accessible bathroom.

It is a nice small cafe that serving good sandwiches and cakes, though sandwiches were served in a slow pace, I don’t really mind as we were not in a rush and its sandwiches are actually quite tasty. I had a latte and it had a very pretty pattern on it, and I was so impressed. It’s in a convenient location and I think I would really love to come again. This cafe is dogs friendly, I saw 2 dogs were already there when I went inside.

A great place for coffee and breakfast in city centre.Modern design with an inviting atmosphere. Not classic Vienna style cafe, but with quite and relaxing classic music.Staff was friendly even if they were quite busy.Good way of communicating with a customer when they warn you in advance that you food may be delayed, so you know how much time it will take to be served.

Lovely hot chocolate and cake. Nearly had a diabetic coma afterwards... would have been worth it. Such a shame about the 1 toilet, but I guess not much they can do about it. Defo recommend.

A nice European-style coffee shop, located opposite of the Manchester Art Gallery.Almost as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by staff, who welcome you and advise to take a seat a table, unless all you want is a quick takeaway coffee. There is a lot of space inside the coffee house. The ground floor accommodates plenty of seating in a form of armchairs and benches. There is also a mezzanine floor, where you will find more tables. Only the ground floor can be accessed by a wheelchair or with a stroller. Toilets are located on the ground floor.The Vienna Coffee House has a great atmosphere. It feels cosy and warm throughout the café, with lots of natural light coming from large windows, quiet "coffee house" music playing from the speakers. They also showcase many art pieces from a local artist on both floors.The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Make sure they got your order correctly. The service was prompt and professional.I ordered Viennese Coffee (Einspanner) and a slice of the Belgian Chocolate Fudge Cake. The coffee, which basically is a double mocha with whipped cream was pretty good. I am not sure if I would order it once again (as I found it very sweet), but it is an interesting alternative to hot chocolate. The cake was nice, but simple in terms of flavour and texture. I think adding some berries or salted caramel filling would improve it drastically. The prices for both were above the average of the city centre.The menu here is very generous. There lots of options for a quick meal and a drink. The price of afternoon tea looks like a real deal.Overall, I think The Vienna Coffee House is great spot if you want to relax and enjoy your time, without paying any attention for the time. So, grab a book, a coffee, some food and enjoy some time for yourself.

Popped in for a quick coffee after a long journey on the train.Was welcomed in and seated by a polite member of staff. There was a nice relaxing coffee house vibe and most of all the coffee was top notch!This place serves food also which I may try on my next visit as it did look good!
