We were recommended to try out this restaurant chain. We were informed that they do not take reservations, so we had to take our chances and wait in line. We arrived at Deansgate early and there were already 10 people ahead of us in line, but we decided to queue up anyway. We all know that waiting in line is not enjoyable, especially when it starts raining. However, this place really stood out. A very friendly staff member stayed with us, brought out hot chocolate for everyone, and even brought out umbrellas when it started raining. This level of service was exceptional, and we hadn't even been seated yet. Once we were finally seated, we were very impressed with the food and service. It was...
My son and I visited this wonderful place on a recent trip to Manchester, we were served by Sarah whose kindness and hospitality is second to none, she was attentive to everyone in the cafe and Federal are lucky to have her on their team. We only called in for coffee, which is delicious by the way and Sarah treated us to a vegan brownie to share that was rich and creamy topped with pecans and the entire staff warmly wished us farewell and thanked us for visiting them when we were leaving
Fast service, staff were nice, ordered the eggs Benedict food wasn’t anything special in my opinion and feel that the price didn’t accurate reflect what I was given. Also the meal was not filling at all so definitely recommend something else from the menu if you’re hungry going in. My friend ordered the poached eggs on avocado toast and very much enjoyed it however and said it was very filling!
I went to this restaurant on a Saturday morning and although there was a ten-minute wait, it was expected and not a problem. The food was delicious and fresh, and I was happy to find that they offered decaf tea. I highly recommend this place.

Nice food Poor atmosphere Overly aggressive policing of tables on a quiet weekday morning literally removed plates while still eating Tables crammed on top of each other Not a relaxing place to eat I won’t be returning
The gluten free cake is kept in between two non-gf or coeliac friendly cakes, therefore making the gluten free options not suitable for gluten/wheat intolerant or coeliac. Avoid.
Best breakfast in Manchester. Chai latte was also really good. Plenty of vegetarian options too. Very busy, I can understand why it's so popular. Very friendly staff.
Reasonable little cafe, checked with table about allergies but not fully knowledgeable- gluten free bread replaces sourdough in most egg dishes

Amazing breakfast, generous portions, you can tell everything from eggs Benedict to OJ and chai latte made with love and care!
Really cute brunch place in Manchester, back in 2019. They offer gluten free bread!
