One of the best places to go in Manchester, go every time were visiting, i couldn't believe it is deserted on a Sunday! The perfect place to relax, the silence helps
M. S.
I go here every Saturday for making a Difference drama group and it's an amazing experience everytime. Clean, always a great spread of food with vegan options. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful interior. A smoking balcony overlooking the Northern Quarter with its fantastic vibrant atmosphere. Quite possibly the coolest place to visit and hold events in, in Manchester. One of my favourite places to go to.
M. D. Q.
Although this venue is not in the best location, the access is ok inside for a wheelchair user. It's a beautiful venue indoors and constant access to food and drink added access points for me.

A great place to have a social gathering or quiet study area. There is plenty of room with lots of charger sockets and even free WiFi. They have creative supplies, boardgames, a games console, books.. all surrounded by a quirky décor. There is also a balcony to sit at which I bet is lovely in summer!
There is also a range of food and drinks to help yourself to on the counter and kitchen. There is not much hot variety and some of the cakes taste stale but this can be overlooked with the cheap price.
Overall I would recommend and definitely check them out again.
G.
Lovely and relaxing environment with friendly staff. Great for boardgames, reading, and working (when it's quiet).
C. L.
This is such a great concept! I love everything about it. The people here are all so friendly and I could stay here forever.
C. D.
A brilliant idea, the perfect chilled place to kill some time or hang out with friends without feeling like you need to keep buying things to justify taking up a table. Super comfortable, home from home.
b.
Lovely place - good if you have friends to hang out with and a great afternoon. Very unique concept for a café. I didn't stay here though for more than a few minutes at most because they didn't have chocolate or red velvet cake -_-
H. M.
Good range of board games and snacks. They chare 6p per mjnute of stay.
L. A. J.
Lovely place to meet people. The selection of snacks and soup is great as well.
l. r.
I love this place. The atmosphere is lovely and everyone is so friendly. It's especially great if you're going there for longer than four hours as the price is capped at four hours but you can stay all day. The board games are a nice touch and there is a good selection of food and drinks to eat included in your price for being there. I've never seen a dog there but I believe it is dog friendly as they have dog biscuits out. Also student discount is great at 25%.
S. H.
Awesome coworking space! I can just turn out and spend the whole day or 1 hour there its amazing value. Every lunch is different so I've turned up at 8:30am had breakfast, worked through to lunch and had a free lunch too lol Great atmosphere, awesome idea!!
T. B.
I've used this place a few times now. Really like it here. Very laid back. Clean and good sofa's. It's a good place to chill. Play games. Work on your laptop. Good lighting. Feels like home. (Which is its aim!)
6p per min. Means if you spend a hour or 2 and its is only a few £'s for all you can eat tea n coffee and basic snacks. Not bad hey!
Don't stay to long otherwise you can run up a big cost!
I. G.
I think this is a great place to relax and get a coffee.
D. D.
Love this place. So relaxed. I am a regular visitor.
D. R.
This is a great space for meetings, co-working or just hanging out. Pay per minute and help yourself. Love the place.
H. S.
Place is great! Lots of space from sofas to desks and big tables. Friendly atmosphere for chilling or working, and good enough price to pop in for the lunch hour and relax. Great food and drink and lots of it. Wish I had an excuse to work there every day.
D. A.
This was excellent. What a great idea!
Came here for a workshop that was being delivered in a booked room. And the facilities were basic but had everything that you could need. The price was outstanding.
It was a little hard to work out if your at the right place or not upon arrival but as soon as you see a member of staff it's clear. There is complementary drinks and basic foods. Well worth the costs.
No parking that I am aware off, but that's fairly typical for Manchester city centre.
D. J.
Really great idea for a business. They atmosphere is really great here. Most people are either working or relaxing. Super chill. The food and drink is pretty basic and not great but for 8p per Minute (less than 5 pounds an hour) it's pretty decent as you can eat as much as you like
B. J.
Love getting work done here, way less distractions.
The staff are really friendly and the people who come in and out are mostly students and elderly.
Nice atmosphere, the people who do come in are nice.
You can just go and get whatever you want from the kitchen if you tidy up after... in the mood for a toastie?
Anyway, I highly recommend it
H. F.
What a great concept, paying for your time (up to a max of 4 hours, you can stay longer), a very chilled out place, I really like the way it is run and the staff are lovely. I try to go along each Friday for the day, but it is not always possible. The food is basic but nice and it is warm with great WiFi, well worth a visit if you have not been before, they even have a few boardgames.
A. E.
Lovely place to come and relax with a cuppa and cake or biscuit. Staff are wonderfully pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone.
M. M. S.
Great place to get some work done, have coffee and tea, with very good Internet connection.
G.
This place is amazing. You pay 6 pence per minute and enjoy their hot beverage and nice cake and biscuits. High speed WI-FI and cozy and spacious area are also included. When you leave, wash your dishes. Well recommended if you want just chill out or work.
n. a.
Very relaxing atmosphere. Good place to meet new people.
H. B.
Lovely, unique and chilled out space. You have to do your own washing up. Cake selection a little mediocre but you're welcome to bring your own food (even microwaveable meals). Would have appreciated a nap room.
A. S.
A lovely place to sit and relax especially when it's raining outside. Only 8p per minute with unlimited tea, coffee, biscuits and a daily homemade cake. The place is so cosy with its sofas and a great way to relax or even get some work done.
T. E. J. S.
Good and always improving. Staff friendly. I also had an idea today after being knackered from work... Why don't you guys have a napping room or area where you can take a tray of refreshments and lie totally flat out for an hours nap. It's be amazing as nowhere in Manchester offers a decent power nap facility and i think you guys could have a room with some beds and people like me could come and snooze for an hour
A. S.
A very interesting idea! I was worried it'd end up being really expensive, as I tend to stay for at least a few hours, but given the amount of cake, fruit and coffee available, it's definitely worth the money.
Has a nice quiet atmosphere, and lots of board games! Including Chess :)
O. C.
It's a really nice, friendly place. Paying for the time you spend instead of the food and drink is really unique! Plus the food and drink is really nice, especially the coffee!
Sadly they've increased the price from 6p to 8p a minute but it's still a nice place so don't let that stop you!
S. J.
I love this place. I go for meet ups with friends who share the same interest in ball jointed dolls! We always end up having a good time, whether in the main room or off in one of the private rooms they have for larger groups! The food is always nice too!
M. B.
Great place, and super friendly staff. highly recomended.
its also great as a co workspace if your happy with your work, phone calls and business meeting being randomly interrupted with inconsiderate people loudly playing the piano with varying degrees of ability ranging from very good to downright horrendous. usually The latter. lol
C. R.
Absolutely love this place! It's such a lovely, friendly place. People there are very respectful. The kitchen is very clean and well stocked and the food and drink is nice.
I would highly recommend it for work meetings, individual work, catching up with family or friends or just chilling with a good book.
J. E.
Awesome place and awesome concept and nice staff. You pay per minute and get food and drink, comfy seats, warm surroundings and even board games. It's just an overall great place to come chill and get work done with your mates.
j. j.
Fantastic work space and concept of paying for the time you spend there rather than the items you drink or eat. Will definitely go again..
P. N.
Lovely atmosphere, usually busy enough for it to have a bit of life, but not too busy for it to be overwhelming. Pay by the hour and help yourself to anything you like - food, drinks and snacks. You can book meeting rooms by the hour too if needed
G. W.
I love this place. It 's a great place to go and work if you are self-employed/freelance and I hold most of my meetings there.
There's a very casual vibe which is great most of the time, although sometimes I get annoyed when people play the piano badly, but that's because I'm grumpy.
D. W.
Decent quirky design. Overpriced considering what it offers. Also given the cost and that the place has enough staff do not see why people come there have to wash up after themselves. This does not happen anywhere else you go out and meet people and eat so why here?
b. h.
A bit of a strange one this place, everyone will know by now you pay just for the time you spend there, and at £3 an hour, so that's the price of a decent cup of coffee, and once in everything is free.
The quality of the coffee and cake is what you would expect for what you're not paying for, but this place isn't about the food or drink, but the place itself, and that is exceptionally pleasant, relaxed and ideal for having a meeting or sitting down with a book or with a boardgame and some friends.
Its a strange experiment, but one that seems to be working!
J. T.
A great place to just: chill with friends, get some work done or pretty much anything. The coffee's good, there's all the lunch stuff you could want and also cake. The pricing system is super reasonable
M. L.
Located a 9 minute walk away from Piccadilly Gardens this venue is fabulous
This venue is a rarity all food and drink is self service and free.
All you pay for is the time your there.
Priced at just 8p a minute you can have as much food and drink as you want and enjoy comfortable and friendly surroundings and free WiFi
Function and conference rooms also available at a low price.
This place is truly amazing
A. P.
Awesome place to hang out. Great selection of cakes, coffee, drinks, biscuits and cereals. Possible to bring your own food, my group brought our own pizza! Newspapers and board games available too.
C. T. R.
I haven’t much experience with these types of places but really impressed :D
- Great atmosphere/vibe.
- relaxed/chilled
- Very friendly staff
- snacks, breakfast, coffee all decent
Overall a really great place for meet-ups, agile working etc
M. “. P. Z.
The place is huge and spacious which is great. This is a good place to carry out your work if you are not able to get to office and you need somewhere reasonably quiet. You have selection of desks and tables with sofas to pick from. Sadly this is not a coffee place so dot get your hopes high. You will be served whatever you can cook up in the kitchen yourself so fancy latte is out of the picture. Also there is a table tennis... With actual room to play doubles. Place can be expensive if you want to spend few hours working as it's charged per minute. Otherwise it's an interesting space to visit.
I. A.
Paying for how long you stay sounds good but the food and drink is just about tolerable. Croissants were on the stale side but the cakes were pretty good. Decent experience overall but certainly wouldn't be in a rush to come back.
C. T.
Attend Book Club "Hear My Voice". Once per month. Lovely private room but other open plan areas also available . Wonderful selection of hot and cold soft drinks. Cake, sandwiches, toast, spreads, biscuits. Sometimes baked potatoes, salad and cheese. Great if you ve rushed straight from work.
I. B.
Innovative concept well executed. Pay by the minute (I think 6p) but free drinks and snacks. Great for casual get togethers with comfy seats and not too loud music. Plenty of rooms for events (I play board games there)
J. M.
Fantastic Cafe/Chill out space. I've been coming here for over a year now, and love the atmosphere and feel for the place. A great place to come and get some work done with a brew and some cake, or to come with a group of friends and play away the afternoon with boardgames and ping pong!!
L. H.
Great place to go for a great price no matter what you're in the mood for. Space to relax and read, wifi to use, board games and games console to play. Cakes, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, soup, bread and spreads, cereal and coke too. All free. You just pay 6p per minute (if you stay an hour that's £3.60)
N. P.
Fantastic coffee place that makes you feel at home, the staff are very friendly and the coffee and food is great. In case you don't know already, here you only pay for your time, and can help yourself to as much coffee and treats as you want while you're there. Absolutely brilliant.
M. M.
Great place to sit and work.
You pay by minute spent there, which means coffee is included and not very good, but that's fine. You can also get any snacks or drinks you see there - all included in the price you pay anyway.
M.
Fancy a cup of coffee? Or play games? Meet new people? Or just want to chill and read a book? This is the place! Alone or with company I enjoy the variety of soft drinks, cakes, games and people in this place, and you pay for the time you spend here, so stay as long as you want!
D. R.
This place is amazing. We were looking round for a place to have a meeting in central Manchester and do some whiteboarding. I can't quite believe how it makes money as all the food, drinks, tea, coffee, biscuits, etc is free and it was only 8p a minute per person, but capped at 4 hours.
The WiFi is super fast, they supplied a flip chart and pens, and it was generally a good atmosphere.
So you can stay a full day and only pay for 4 hours, we also left and came back and they were good with that.
S. O.
One of my favourite places, for 8p per minute you get to use the space, unlimited drinks/cake/Wi-Fi, you can definitely spend the day there, so if you do you don't pay for more than 4 hours, and for students, it's 25% off, I can't praise this place enough, BOARD GAMES AS WELL
D. M.
Really interesting business model, charging by the minute instead of for food and drink. Tea, coffee, milk and more is available for free once you're in, as well as cereal, cakes and other snack edibles. There are a multitude of styles of tables and chairs - there's even a piano! - ensuring that you have everything you need whether you're aiming to work on a laptop, play board games or just relax into a comfy sofa.
F. B.
Nice place to chill and hang out alone or with friends. The food and drinks selection is decent for the reasonable staying price. The board games provided are quite old and some have missing pieces.
J. J.
My first visit. I have recommended it to friends. Great concept. What a fabulous social space. I'm afraid there is a little'but'! So much cake BUT some vegan cakes please! I did eat other stuff & there plenty vegan milk & yoghurt BUT cake please....any cake will do. I will be calling in again
J.
Can't say enough good things about this place. Great concept paying 8p a minute and then all food and drink is complimentary inside. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere, feels like a hidden little club.
S. K.
I go to Liverpool every year for work, and I ALWAYS make time to visit Ziferblat! Such a fantastic space to do whatever you wish, if by yourself or friends... There’s a super range of delicious snacks/teas/coffee and the added options of books to read and board games to play! Definitely a must visit!
H. L.
Amazing place. Did not feel like leaving as it was just so cosy. Great for working and relaxing. Drink as much as you want and lots of cake, biscuits, soup and toast to enjoy, just wash up after yourself.
J. F.
Went in until 10pm to play the card/boardgame a friend had just been given at a celebration meal. 8 of us pulled up to a coffee table in comfy sofas and chairs. Hot drinks and sweet treats. A calm Oasis in the middle of the noisy city.
A. T.
Quirky hidden gem where everything is free except your time spent there, there is 100mbps wi-fi and a piano inside. A lovely selection of cakes are always laid out and a kitchen that's free to use. Many different board games are also available to play. Overall an amazing place to spend a bit of time for not much money at all
M. C.
The whole concept is amazing..you pay for time..and have free use if all the facilities..totally recommended
R. G.
REALLY friendly staff and a simple concept well executed. Pay a few pence per minute and all the coffee, cake and wifi you can consume in a comfortable environment.
You can even play their piano!
M. H.
What a fantastic concept for a Cafe. A gem within the Latin Quarter. Just an inconspicuous door on the street, press the bell & the door opens. Take the lift or stairs and at the top of the stairs you enter a huge room which at first glance you might think you've entered a furniture store. Sofas and tables everywhere.
Not the case....The philosophy here is food and drinks are free, All manner of Teas, coffee machines, an open plan kitchen, hidden from view upon entering. A friend took me along as he'd been before.
We were greeted at a quaint desk by one of the two delightful and friendly girls in charge. The one at the desk explained everything.
Simply pay for the time you spend in the pleasant surroundings...8p a minute and pay when you leave. You basically help yourself to the food cook if you wish...
Make fresh coffee, help yourself to bread for toast, sandwiches, a variety of cakes. All manner of jams,honey & marmalade. A fridge packed wirh healthy pro biotic spreads sit alongside butter, Philadelphia cheese, Gluten free bread in the Freezer. A pannini press on hand, a four slice toaster, A twin coffee machine that takes pods retrieved from jars. All manner of options on offer. You can eat as much as you wish and stay as long as your cash flow allows.
Free wifi, a notice board filled with groups you may wish to take part in. Reading material on hand. A place to contemplate or make new friends. A variety of classes available tho I didn't investigate these options.
I was just in awe of the whole idea ! Extremely chilled atmosphere and I fell in love with the place immediately. After a cake, two slices of toast and 2 mugs of coffee and approximately a relaxing hour we took our plates and mugs and washed our utensils snd left them to drain by the sink. Just clean up after yourself as you go and pay on your way out. Approximately £11 for 2 of us...such a delightful option from the normal cafe's spread around town. I will certainly be heading back there again & again whenever I'm in the city centre. A great place for people who have a lone existence like myself ,an opportunity to make new friends possibly.
I cant reccomend it highly enough if you are a laid back person like myself.....you can be yourself here. Very laid back and pleasant staff too.
N. M. (.
This is my favourite place in Manchester, I host guests quite frequently and I always bring them here as it's a great place to chill out, get out the rain, and enjoy their facilities.
They've everything you could need to just chill out and forget about the real world, book, games, food drink etc.
Every major city needs one.
C. B.
Unique co-working environment in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Great idea to pay by the minute, with all the food and drink being free. Have worked here on a number of occasions, and it's one of my regular preferred working venues.
G. B.
Interesting place and a good idea. It's quite hard to find in the backstreets of the Northern Quarter of Manchester but it's worth it if you want a drink and a snack. You only pay for the time you were there and all the food and drink is free. There is good Wi-Fi and the surroundings, on the first floor, are quite pleasant. A nice change to the other High Street coffee shops.
P. D.
An interesting place filled with interesting people working on interesting things. The concept is simple: drinks and food are free, you simply pay for the time you spend here. The ZiferRooms are ideal for meetings, tutorials or getting your colleagues out of the office for the day.
G. E.
Pay for your time spent eating free nibbles with unlimited drinks. Great concept, chilled out. If it were a country it would be Iceland but cheaper and comfortably warm.
M. W.
Every person I've ever taken to Ziferblat has always gone on about how cool it is for ages afterwards. It's so cozy and fun, you really feel as though you live there and it's easy to lose count of the time you're spending there... And time is money there so...
N. B.
Great place to while away a chilled afternoon, very relaxed atmosphere. Food selection offered makes it a bit of a nightmare for a diabetic though as it's heavily weighted towards sweet treats!
D. E.
Ziferblat is a quirky little place is the heart of Northern Quarter. Here you pay for nothing except your time. You can enjoy and relax in their living-room style room, with games and games. If you're hungry, you can serve yourself from a selection of cereals, toast, biscuits and cakes along with coffee, tea or juice.
P. T.
An amazing concept; you pay by the minute, NOT the food or drink you eat. You get it all yourself from the food/drink area but there is a massive selection of teas, coffees, herbal teas, cereal, yoghurt, cakes and snacks...I couldn't recommend this place enough!
Z. T.
Love love love this place - pay as you go code where you help yourself to a selection of food items a games and relax on a sofa in a beautiful homely atmosphere. Great space for working or a catch up with some friends!
S.
Good cafe if you're around Arndale or Piccadilly Gardens, quite cheap at just 8p per minute you're there with all you can eat/drink. Hot food is available (Don't think this falls under all you can eat) , as well as cakes and coffe/tea. Looking at around £4 for an hour. Very warm and cosy with free WiFi.
Y. K. (. T. G.
Really great co-working space. We used the facilities for a 2 day hackathon, utilising one of the private rooms. The hourly rate was very good for what you're provided (lots of drinks and snacks).
Ziferblat is located in the heart of Manchester and sits directly above Yard & Coop. If you've never been to Yard & Coop, you've not lived. It's soooo good.
The only real concern would be parking. If you want it cheap, try getting into Manchester before 9 am and park in the Arndale NCP. £5.50 for the day is a bargain.
H. L. (.
Absolutely amazing place with lovely staff and atmosphere.
Spent Majority of my day here doing some uni work and enjoying the coffee machine and selection of cakes :) Coming back again to the same next week.
C. P.
Went to Ziferblat 4 days In a row due to deadlines and it is a great place to relax with friends or do work. They also offer different events on different days. It is worth a visit!
R. W.
Love this place. 8p a minute, all you can drink coffee and other drinks, all you can eat cakes and snacks. Great alternative to a coffee shop for remote working and meetings.
R. W.
Always love to try "different" so I bring friends as its a cosy, relaxed & progressive atmosphere, staff always accommodating & friendly, table tennis & coffee is the way forward!
The establishment is clean too.
Will keep coming!
T. H.
A unique cafe in the heart of Manchester. You visit here on a pay-per-minute basis with unlimited tea, coffee, soft drinks, cakes and much more. There are also occasional events held too.
R. H.
Great space. I spent 2 days recently there with a team of coworkers. The facilities are more than adequate, the staff greatly helpful, the coffee never ending and the wifi superfast. Great place.
S. W.
When Ziferblat initially launched, I was a big fan. I was even quoted when The Times came to see what the fuss was all about as I was spending a great deal of time writing a collection of short stories in there at the time.
As a concept Ziferblat works very well...it is a co-working space crossed over and intermingled with a cafe with additional meeting rooms if required and somehow they managed the most impossible of things in bringing those worlds together effectively. The beauty in it was that it never felt like you were in one or the other or that if you were there to relax you didn't think twice about how people were also working in there and vice versa.
Where they tended to go wrong was the price increase. It went from £3.60 an hour to £4.80 to be there which is a swift rise. It felt like a particularly bad excuse that they blamed having to pay their staff more when what they meant was that minimum wage went up. As it does. Every year.
This combined with a somewhat lacking quality of the food there. I don't think anyone is expecting to Waitrose but much of the food does have an element of Tesco Value to it, however looking across their Facebook and Twitter pages, this has been somewhat rectified with home-made, or perhaps zifer-made contributions from members of staff.
While I'm no longer a regular of Ziferblat, it's still why I'd consider a hidden gem that I would try just to see if you like it. Where it has rough edges it also has some shimmering highlights such as the full kitchen and selection of bird games.
C. B.
Great place to hang out for a few hours, reasonably priced at just 6p per minute. Staff are all volunteers and all are lovely and very helpful when you need help working any of the appliances in the ZiferKitchen!
L.
Very interesting idea, where everything is pay but you 'clock in and out' and pay for time spent there. Executed well and staff were friendly, genuine and helpful. A wonderful experience, would wholly recommend.
D. A.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff ! Loads of games for you to choose from and a selection of vegan and non vegan snacks and drinks! Super cheap too!
s. m.
Brilliant, I love this idea.
relaxing environment, the food and snacks are great quality too, would recommend anyone who wants to catch up with friends or just try a different work environment to try hear.
S. N.
I love this place - Friendly, warm, super fast wifi - The only place in Manchester you can co-work without having to book in advance or be a member - The staff are always friendly and super helpful 👍 Probably the coolest place in the Northern Quarter!
r. k.
Very good place to work for remote workers. Great for meetings. Acoustics are awesomely configured. You wont hear other parties.
E.
Absaloutley love this place, it's my favourite getaway from home and all the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Such amazing and friendly staff, and feels like home when ever im there. I loose track of time but dont care especially with all tbe board games.
D. W.
Prices have gone up recently but still good value for a short relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of Manchester, given that you can have any tea and coffee you like... even if you do have to do your own washing up!
I. P.
Interesting place, social living room. charges by the minute with tea, coffee and cake. Meeting place or office is up to you really how you use it. I like the idea and potential for cooperation with others
T. B.
Whenever I'm working from Manchester I always set myself up in Ziferblat. Who can beat an unlimited supply of coffee, coco-pops and cake all for 5p a minute? It's also got a homely vibe with all the furniture and everything is self-service.
C. W.
Brilliant concept, amazing space.
D. B.
Great space to hang out with friends. At £3 an hour, with refreshments included it's a real bargain. Loving the old board games also!
P. G.
Reasonable pricing, great for a quiet place to escape for work, reading, a chat with friends or for playing board games, if you haven't been, it's well worth a visit :)
B. M.
We use Ziferblat to work out of every week and we love the place! It’s such a creative, friendly and comfortable place to cowork and/or socialise - 100% original, there’s no other place like it in Manchester 👍👍👍👍👍
N. V.
Great to hang out. Good selection of bites and drinks like tea and coffee. Can get a bit pricey if you loose track of time.
B. J.
The ziferblat concept is just brilliant. I often go to ziferblat to work between meetings. The space is so big that there are different zones. Some good for work and some better for relaxing. There's always a buzz which makes it feel like a happening sort of place.
A. L.
Great interesting place; pay for the time you spent there not for food or drinks, recently changed from 6p to 8p per min, still worth a visit though.
t.
Friendly, relaxed place for coffee, cakes, or soup, and a sandwich. You pay for the amount of time, but can eat, & drink as much as you like.
C. D.
Peaceful oasis in the city. Great for reading, board games or work
G. R.
Great atmosphere, really friendly staff. If you're looking for somewhere to do a bit of work, play board games with friends or just chill out, this is ideal.
P. C.
Great value. Food is free. Eat and drink as much as you want, you pay per minute. Nice and comfortable, good value WiFi.
J. M.
Really good for writing/working at a spacious desk. Ample power outlets and good non-subscribtion based internet (WiFi: d=77.16, u=60.52).
C. A.
Excellent place to come and chill with friends and for 8p a minute and food and drink for free and all they ask it to wash up after you this is a nice day out definitely come again
O.
Brilliant place to hang out and kick back, get some work done or even host a business meeting as I will be doing during my time in Manchester. Very friendly staff and plenty of good value for all the family.
S. S.
Superb, unique café with a lovely, chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended as it is on a lesser travelled street and is one of the gems of Manchester.
E. P.
What a delightful place to be. I am always warmly welcomed and the staff are always willing to help. If I could give the place 10 stars I would. :)
E. K.
Absolutely awesome place. Pay per minute and you get unlimited food, drink, wifi and a comfortable setting.
P. W.
A really relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, cheap prices and a very wide selection of food and drinks. A great place to go with friends and family
T. A.
Such a unique place, very homely, good variety of snacks drinks, tea including a coffee machine. I highly recommend.
J. T.
went there with a group of friends and loved its a chilled and there Ping-Pong all sorts activities but its NOT loud and hectic its like a home away from home go there its awesome XD
J. T.
Quirky eating out street in the Northern quarter, providing lots of different cuisines. Definitely worth a visit.
W. B.
The customer service and communication from the booking team at Ziferblat is absolutely brilliant. They have been so easy to work with and I cannot recommend them highly enough!
V. C.
Great space to hang out with lovely staff :)
I really enjoyed my Tai Chi workshop and the selection of nibbles and beverages was plentiful

If you have work or just reading to do its a great place with a nice atmosphere or if you go in a group its nice other than that it is slightly boring for just 2 people to go it.

Perfect for meetings. Really laid back. My only criticism is I wish they served savoury mini sarnies. Otherwise great

Quirky idea and when you stop rolling your eyes at the indieness you can start getting imaginative about the unique service.
Admittedly I'm not entirely past the eye rolling though.

(Translated) Cafe very wonderful idea, where they charge you time and you have the freedom to eat and drink of their variety. Suitable for study and relaxation as well as for those who love board games. They provide internet, printing and meeting room services. Ideal for those who work independently.
