Meh - Edit
I had the vegan royale breakfast.
Read moreI found it quite greasy and generally quite unappetising really. The tofu scramble had a nice flavour but texture was quite slimy which wasn't nice. Also pretty overpriced for what it is.
I ate most of it, but couldn't stomach the rest.

Why do ppl like this place? - Edit
I was hungry, had heard about this place & felt like having a good fill.. Left starving and nauseous. Never have I been served such a plate of lukewarm oily slop, even when I ate meat! The Vegan Royal unedible, I tried but the bit I ate turned my stomach I felt sick. It's like everything was premade in batches weeks before, spoon sloped on a plate, heated in a greesy frying pan with some bits being microwaved. Mushrooms full of oil, scrambled tofu sloppy oil.. Urrggh with frozen peppers (thawed days ago in a big vat absorbing oil), hash brown & sausages saturated with oil and lukewarm.. Used smoked 'bacon' which the menu never mentioned it was smoked. I used it tasting smoked as my excuse, I wasn't in the mood for an issue. Saving grace staff lovely & offered a refund. I still had to pay for my mimosa, which added to my sickness as I had to drink it on an empty stomach.
Read moreI don't understand why ppl go when so many better places to pay £12.50 for a great breakfast?
Pros: Staff friendly, Offered refund immediately., 2 *instead of one* for this reason
Cons: Food, Dirty, Food and unclean

Lukewarm... - Edit
Prepare for a wait on a Sunday morning! We were advised it would be 30 mins and were able to add our names to the list. We were given the option to wait or go for a walk and return at a set time. Typical greasy spoon cafe, no frills.
Read moreI went for the vegan American stack of pancakes, scrambled tofu, potato rosti, and a moving mountains burger with maple syrup on the side. Unfortunately the hottest thing about the breakfast was my cuppa....good sized plate of food but could have been warmer.
Pros: Very friendly staff, Decent portion size.
Cons: Food could have been warmer , Be prepared to wait for a table at weekends

little gem - Edit
Absolutely delicious!! Staff are super friendly and always ask whether you have any allergies. Do bring some time with you as it is super busy and you wait for a table for 30ish minutes. It’s definitely worth it though! The inside feels very diner-esque and has an alternative vibe. Loved it!!

Great Find! - Edit
Really lovely place to eat. Very busy…we had to wait 30 mins for our table…but it was definitely worth it. A few vegan choices, I had the full breakfast and my cousin had the American pancakes and they were both yummy. Great atmosphere too, and Halle our server was lovely.

How Breakfast Should Be Done - Edit
Almost perennially busy, I spotted a rare opportunity to dive in here before the morning rush and was well rewarded for my foresight.
Read moreA solid, robust coffee kicked things off nicely, and it only go better from there. The vegan breakfast, with a side of toast and couple of rostis for good measure, absolutely hit the spot. All the items were well-cooked, a decent temperature, and (mostly importantly) delicious. I particularly enjoyed the cheesy tofu, an inspired addition, and the black pudding that was texturally fantastic and the right kind of moist. I somehow resisted ordering the pancakes and the waffles that I spied on the menu, but I thought I’d save them for my next visit.

Hangover brekky central - Edit
Proper dirty fry up hangover brekky vibes. We had the vegan royale which was decent. They also had two sweet brunch items - pancakes and waffles which looked pretty nice. Was definitely a popular choice as the wait times were around 20/30mins and they do not take bookings. Staff were friendly and was good vibes

Fantastic full English - Edit
This is my fave place for a proper breakfast! It's always a hard choice, but usually go for a Vegan Royale (a vegan full English) with scrambled tofu with facon, vegan black pudding, sausages, hash browns, mushrooms, peppers, beans and toast for £12. Generous portion and very tasty.
Read moreOther vegan options are pancakes (with scrambled tofu and fake bacon and maple syrup), vegan waffles with fruit. Oat milk for tea and coffee too.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
There's usually a queue out of the door on a weekend, so get there before 10am (or queue and get your name on the list).
Recommend especially when dining with non-vegans. Coffee is good too.
Pros: Vegan options , Value for money , Friendly, helpful staff

Good breakfast choice - Edit
Cute restaurant with a greasy spoon vibe but good interior decor. Staff are friendly and happy to help. The food itself is solid. I had the vegan breakfast and really enjoyed it - the scrambled tofu was the highlight for me! The sausages are the type with a mushy interior, so the texture was largely a bit same-y, but tasty and satisfying.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Good portion size, Friendly and helpful staff
Cons: Coffee wasn't great

Really good breakfast - Edit
The breakfast here was really tasty. The scrambled tofu was delish and had little bacon pieces in. You got a huge stack of toast too. The sausages are kind of vegetable/potato sausages but still tasty . The coffee wasn't amazing though tbh!

Best breakfast in Manchester - Edit
We went for the Vegan Royale and shared a plate of waffles. The food was out of this world, but I especially liked the bacon bit infused tofu scramble. The waffles are the best I’ve had in a long time and after a night on the town I appreciated the fruit that accompanied it. The coffee is also fantastic and the staff are lovely. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Manchester.

Decent Value - Edit
We stopped here for breakfast as sadly we couldn't find a fully vegan place for Sunday breakfast in the city.
Read moreThe breakfast was a good size for the price and the sausages were really good. I'm not a huge fan of peppers with a breakfast though and it was a shame that you couldn't have the tofu scramble without the vegan cheese.
We'd eat there again if we're in the city and couldn't find a vegan place but we were put off by a cartoon on the wall that they'd had custom made which labelled vegan food as vegan poop!!
So if you're a vegan cafe in the area please open on Sunday mornings so we can give you our money next time instead!

Delicious full English vegan breakfast. It would be great if they also offered a small version of the breakfast as the one they have is a lot. Other vegan options available as well. Cashless business.

Really good breakfast - Edit
Very nice vegan options, I had the Vegan Belgian Waffles and my partner had the Plant-based Manc-Muffin. They were both delicious, but we should've ordered a side with the muffin as it wasn't enough on it's own. We booked for 8 people and service was very fast and all staff were friendly and inviting depsite it being busy at the time (Sunday midday). I wouldn't hesitate to return here.
Read morePros: Very reasonable prices
Cons: Walk-ins only under 6 people

Nice breakfast - Edit
Visited the Koffee Pot a few times and always really appreciative that they have gluten-free options! The VE/GF breakfast is tasty and the filter coffee is really good. Quite a few other vegan options available, in addition to plant milks and vegan spread available for toast, upon request.
Read moreThree stars instead of four because I felt dodgy after my last visit, which is usually a sign of gluten cross-contamination. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re allergic to gluten.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, ‘GF’ options, Lovely staff
Cons: Potential risk of allergen cross-contamination

Good vegan breakfast - Edit
We had a good vegan breakfast at Koffee Pot, but room for improvement. There is a good vegan range, and the pancakes were very good.. and whilst the vegan breakfast was good, it was a little hodge-podge. Would return but could stick with the pancakes!
