"Look, the alleyway smells like a damp cellar and I had to eat standing up because some bloke was occupying the only stool, but the Kimchi toastie cured my hangover instantly. 5 stars."
"Nia makes the best flat white in Manchester. No pretentious latte art drawings of swans or ferns, just hot, rich coffee. The ham toastie is dangerously addictive."
"Perfect 40-minute lunch. Order, get toastie in five mins, sit on the brick wall in the yard, head back to my desk smelling faintly of fried onions. Absolutely brilliant."
"The food is fantastic, but they literally only have one type of soup and they ran out of sourdough at 1:15pm. Who runs out of food at lunchtime? Ridiculous. I had to eat a packet of crisps instead."
"Stumbled upon it while lost in the Northern Quarter on a rainy Saturday. It's hidden in a lovely little yard. The Tomato and Fennel soup was like a warm hug, and the cheese pull on the toastie was magnificent."
"Simple, honest, no pretension. We sit in the yard on Saturdays when the sun makes a rare appearance in Manchester. Nia always remembers our names and makes sure the rye bread is cut thin for Arthur."
