Great little cafe

Very friendly staff and great vegan coffee cake. I forgot to take a pic of it because I was too excited to eat it!

Fresh and filling

Had the avocado toast, it was made a bit more interesting with some snazzy toppings! Nice chunky toast and a thick layer of avocado. Good for a brunch/lunch spot.

3 out of the 4 cakes available were vegan. Almond, coconut and oat milk available. Laid back atmosphere.

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options , Lots of vegan options

Coffee & Kronuts

Very welcoming cosy little cafe, with decent vegan options and nice outside seating.

I just popped in for a takeaway coffee and biscoff, cream kronut, which I shared with my son.

The coffee was great, as was the kronut and I would return again.

Great for coffee and cake

I always enjoy a visit to the fig and sparrow when I'm in Manchester and I was not disappointed on my recent trip.

I had a very nice cafe latte and a great lotus brownie. It was a good size slice of brownie and the texture was good. A little bit dry but it was definitely a brownie rather than a chocolate cake being called a brownie.

Nice coffee

Only had a coffee there so can't comment on the food but the coffee was amazing! They had a vegan ginger & orange brownie on the counter.

Lovely vegan breakfast!

We stayed in Manchester and this place was underneath our apartment! We saw how busy it was each day, so decided to check out the breakfast menu! Was really happy with the Vegan breakfast. They had run out of sausage, so replaced it with a lovely patty! The sweetcorn fritters we’re also really pleasantly different!

Pros: Location , Outdoor seating , Good Price

Top notch vegan breakfast!

They served me one of the best vegan brunches I've ever eaten. Everything on the plate was delicious. I had a lovely cup of tea too. I don't drink coffee, but my friends do and they said it was great. Good choice of plant milks. The only small negative is that there was only one vegan cake option, which was not something I would choose, so I skipped dessert.

Pros: Great breakfast, Friendly

Cons: Can get busy, Not much vegan cake choice

Favourite coffee place in the city

If I am to go and work somewhere or read with a bit of ambience, I’d always choose here. Vegan options for cakes and caters to gluten free diets too.

Andrew Bird - Pulaski at night once playing on the stereo and I instantly fell in love with the place! Very cute.

Dog (and people) friendly!

Great food, great atmosphere, great people. My wee dog was made as welcome as I was. The vegan porridge and the oat milk coffee were both excellent.

Pros: Friendly and welcoming. , Good vegan selection , Dog friendly

Cons: On the spendy side.

Tasty Vegan Cherry Brownie

Only been here for coffee and a cherry vegan brownie and dear god that brownie was sent from the gods. It was chewy and fudgy and tasted so good! Coffee was very strong but still tasted very nice and they have all the dairy free milks and stuff. Would like to come back and try some food but really recommend the cakes!

Coffee stop

Only had an almond mocha, but absolutely loved this little place! So much character and filled with so many interesting people :) Staff were super friendly and the drink I had was good. Unfortunately I'd already eaten so didn't order anything off the menu (there were one or two options and some cakes as well) ! Brilliant choice of plant based milks too! Will definitely be back soon

Would give 5 stars but cannot as app does not allow xxxx

Pros: Good coffee , Great staff, Charging ports !!

Cons: A few more vegan options !! X

lovely coffee shop

Really liked this place. Not a tonne of vegan options but they have lots of cow friendly milk choices and lovely coffee and porridge. Design is really nice and staff are friendly - would recommend. They also sell clif bars!

Lovely little cafe

This is a lovely little place in the Northern Quarter, perfect for grabbing a light breakfast/lunch and a piece of cake. There are a few different milks available for hot drinks. They always have a vegan cake, and I've tried some delicious muffins there before. Most recently I had the pecan brownie and it was incredible - the best brownie I've had in a very long time. It's a nice place to do a little work or just to relax/chat.

Pros: Good vegan options, Friendly service, Nice atmosphere
