Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Kinderella Pancake Stack was so good, really filling, couldn't finish it all but enjoyed every single bite."
  • "We had the white chocolate and pistachio pancakes, and they were INCREDIBLE."
  • "The Kinderella Sundae and thank god we shared otherwise I think I would have slipped into a coma."
  • "Came here with a friend for a brownie, they warmed it up for me which was YUM!"
  • "The best pancake, brunch, and dessert spot on Oldham Street."
  • "The best pistachio pancakes I have ever had, fresh, flavoursome, warm, made with love."
  • "Got the White Chocolate and Pistachio Sundae - portions are huge I could barely finish it."
  • "I ordered the biscoff and salted caramel milkshake and it was gorgeous, so nice."

Cons:

  • "I wish it had more taste. The peanut butter may have been too overpowering in my combo."
  • "When the pancakes arrived they tasted terrible. Probably never had worse pancakes to be honest."
  • "The waffles were dry with very little toppings - I hoped for a lot more Nutella."
  • "The ice coffee was all filled with ice no coffee so literally could finish the coffee in one sip."
  • "My dessert arrived 10 mins before the other person's. That's not ok when you ordered them together."
  • "The food speaks for itself. If willy wonka had a cafe this would be it."

Service

Pros:

  • "The young chap who served us was very welcoming and friendly."
  • "They were about to go on break and informed us of this so we knew to order quickly."
  • "The staff have always been helpful and gave fab recommendations of things to try."
  • "Faultless service from blue eyed Gaz and punk rock Aliza always makes for a cracking visit!"
  • "We were at Black Milk today. It was such a great experience! The waiter was so helpful and took his time to explain us everything."
  • "A special shout out to the hard working ladies working their socks off and keeping the joint running so smoothly."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately had a very bad experience. Ordered pancakes and it took an extremely long time for them to arrive."
  • "After ordering, and waiting and additional 35 minutes - we weren't the only one waiting this long."
  • "We did take a while to receive a coffee but It wasn’t busy. We were the third table."
  • "The staff could have a done a bit of a better job in reminding people to provide their contact details."
  • "The table was really sticky, the milkshake wasn't cold and the waiter dripped ice cream over my coat."
  • "It took another 35 minutes for a plain milkshake to come which was just ok."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

  • "Dog friendly, in an alternative party of Manchester that's cool to visit!"
  • "The interior of the shop as well. Would definitely recommend."
  • "Everything looked good for Instagram!"
  • "We stopped by before a trip to the cinema. Big portions held off any temptation to pick up popcorn afterwards."
  • "Really nice venue in NQ, cocktails are amazing with good portion sizes."
  • "The cafe is very modern and staff are friendly and full of life."

Cons:

  • "But the front window seemed smashed & I was silly enough to dunk everything in the glass for the fear that they would eventually fall."
  • "The place was pretty packed so they may have just run out of cold milk temporarily."
  • "The seating area was quite basic, quite a retro and minimalist styled seating area."
  • "We were then sat at a small table by the door, which was repeatedly left open. We were freezing."
  • "There isn't slot of seating but if people have only gone in for coffee turn around can be quick."
  • "Tables without numbers so it takes forever to explain where you seat."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "£4, for a large warm vegan brownie with salted caramel sauce is very reasonably priced I feel."
  • "I would highly recommend purchasing some of the hazelnut cream to take home too - it’s delicious!"
  • "It's definitely worth every penny in a sort of naughty chocolatey short or way."
  • "The prices are very high but the presentation and taste makes up for that."

Cons:

  • "Its a little pricey but the size of the portion you don't feel too disheartened."
  • "I got the Kinder Bueno one and it was huge. I really enjoyed it despite the cold weather and outside seating."
  • "The cost of three items was over £36 and I feel ripped off to be totally honest."
  • "We paid £9. On top of that, the brownie on top of the milkshake was dry."
