Harris Hoole isn't just about dropping in for a quick cuppa while shopping, it's about learning and experimenting with the art of coffee, and getting one of the best caffiene rushes in town at the same time.The team of baristas don't simply push hot water through ground beans, they undestand the subtleties in grind, temperature and pressure, in order to extract the best flavour from a coffee whilst leaving out the bitterness. You read correctly, coffee contrary to popular belief, SHOULD NOT BE BITTER.Their current choice of espresso bean, is from Union Roasters, and originates from Guatemala. It's a single origin bean (similar to a single malt in the whisky world), from the Hunapu farm (yes...
Harris and Hoole is definitely an interesting addition to find inside a Tesco. You can tell when you go in that it is independently operated and not part of Tesco even though I believe Tesco have some sort of stake in the company.Place has been fitted out really nicely with bubbly young staff. Coffee and food, certainly not for someone on a budget, but the quality was clearly very high and I felt like it was good value for what I received.It was really busy when we went on a Friday lunch time, but service waiting time was very acceptable. It seems like the place has a lot of regulars as the staff were chatting to customers by name and welcoming them like friends when they arrived. I liked th...
What a lovely cafe!Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, the selection of coffee and treats is excellent but the best thing about this cafe is the community feel that it has. I am not a local and we stumbled across the cafe (in the Tesco Extra) because we needed some respite from our boiling hotel room but there is a community calendar on the wall and my favourite thing is the book swap library that they have well done!What a shame our own Tesco in Walkden, Manchester doesn't have one of these because their cafe is a shambles!
On first inspection this coffee shop looked very welcoming, clean welcoming and warm. The staff were absolutely fantastic and the food was presented beautifully and a good choice. I chose a muffin and a coffee. I am a huge coffee fan but I have to admit I wasn't keen on the flavour of their coffee. This would probably prevent me from returning as I love coffee and that would be the whole reason I would visit the store, even though I am a regular shopper in Tesco.

For a tesco cafe this Harris and Hoole is a little gem! We discovered in when we first moved to the area and it's great for taking the kids for lunch, take away or even for me to work during the day. The staff are always so happy and lovely. Whenever I pop in with the kids they chat to them and make them feel really special.
Just went here for coffee and a cake and was very pleasantly surprised considering that I was expecting a Tesco greasy full breakfast style cafe. This is nothing at all like that. Clean and modern, with a really good cup of coffee. Definitely worth a try
Who would believe in Tesco you can get such good coffee?!?! We often nip in here on a Sunday for a cuppa and a bite to eat for breakfast. The staff are always friendly and have a decent play area for our little girl. Def recommend it!
The food is good, but the prices are extortionate! This is, after all, just a cafe in the Tesco store. So no atmosphere and it's noisy. Not a place for a quiet read (they have a book swap), or a chat with friends.

My husband I sometimes go here for lunch it's great as the kids are at school and we can take our time and chat leisurely!We usually have hot chocolate coke. The service is great and the staff seem friendly.
Highly recommended: best coffee in town, an oasis and respite from the indignities of the Tesco experience.
