Food is good, but not much selection. Too much vegan unhealthy food. I need protein... not mystery meat.The staff were friendly and quick to help and serve. A bit too expensive however. I also wish there was more privacy in the seating as its just chairs in a large open plan hallway.Manchester tart was very good.

A really good place to eat , very ? ?Wheelchair accessibility: There is a lift , but pushing the ? doesn't mean you will get a lift straight away.Take there phone number . It works for me ☺️

This may be petty to some. But the reason I have given this place a low score. Is because they only serve vegan cakes now. Had it been the other way around there would be loads of complaints. I would highly recommend the place to my friends and family But no longer. Most Cafes and coffee shops around the UK try their best to cater for vegans and it's getting better each year. So out of principal and fairness I sadly won't be using this place again even though the service and atmosphere are great.

Very nice setting & friendly staff but for £8.50 I would expect rice or bread with this curry. So not good value. Tiny pot of tea too.

the exchange is a great setting for the rivals bar. Thoroughly enjoyed looking around the interior. Table settings design a bit naff but Good quality alcohol free beer.

The theatre was rehearsing but some brainless sound engineer had the volume levels turned up so loud it could cause customers hearing damage. Not going again because this happening all too often.. Not fault of the cafe staff.. Nice cafe nice people but the sound engineers are ruining their trade
