Wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff. Authentic Italian cafe, good value for money, comfortable setting. Especially enjoyed the breakfast panini and raspberry croissant. Drinks are reasonably priced. We visited on a sunny Sunday so understandably they were very busy, therefore a little less attentive than I imagine they are usually but very friendly and polite. They still took a reservation for us but it was only for indoors because they don't deserve the tables outside which is a shame. Inside is still lovely, with comfy cushions & clean bathroom. I got the frittata of the day which was a little bit disappointing because it was a lot of the same taste of egg - couldn't taste the parmesan or wild mushrooms. It comes with a side salad - the salad dressings of pesto & balsamic helped jazz up the frittata taste but there wasn't enough of it. I could have asked and I'm sure they would have brought me some more pesto, but defo think the frittata could do with a dipping bowl of pesto and a slice of toasted sourdough, rather than the salad. Will be keen to return and try the pizza & pasta next...
Read moreWhat a charming little place. This cafe / restaurant is tucked away on the end of a few shops just round the corner from the shops of Poynton.
It is always busy so would definitely recommend booking even if it's just for 2 people definitely ring to book a table. I would say it fits about 20-30 people in, tables and chairs are close together and you can hear everyone chatting away and the Staff have a chat with you too making sure you have what you need etc. It can be loud with everyone talking, the kitchen and staff going backwards and forwards but it adds to the character of the place.
Take out and dine in available. There is a variety of breakfasts, lunches and cakes on offer and the drinks are quite varied too. They offer vegan and vegetarian options for those who need it. Prices are quite expensive but everything is cooked from scratch and the food tastes fresh and warm.
No parking outside apart from the Waitrose and housing estate round the corner. Toilets inside. Tight squeeze for wheelchair and pushchair so maybe ring them if you go with...
Read moreDespite Cofano Caffé's appearance, with a small interior and a busy atmosphere when we visited on Saturday, the café still felt airy and inviting thanks to its bifold doors and peaceful, charming location. The staff were lovely, attentive, friendly and very helpful.
I had toasted bread with Nutella, which was absolutely scrumptious. The bread had a panini-like texture with holes, so spreading the Nutella was a bit of a challenge, but it still tasted lovely. I also had a vanilla ice cream milkshake, which was very enjoyable, albeit a little on the small side. Even so, I’ll most certainly be getting one again next time.
After the toast experience, I’m tempted to try the toasted fruit bread, as it looked delicious. The croissants and cakes looked tempting as well, so I may go for one of those instead.
Overall, Cofano Caffé was brilliant and we will be visiting again...
