Zalo's Cafe Gatley — Restaurant in Stockport

Updated review, previously 5 stars.

I was deciding what to do after today’s visit but I have come to the decision to post this as it’s very much upset me.

I visited today with my 5 month old baby and husband. Whilst we were there my son was babbling and didn’t want to stay in his pram so my husband stood up with him. We then heard the staff talking about how much babies crying in the cafe annoyed them and they wished they could just put headphones in. I have paraphrased what was rather a lengthy conversation of which we heard every word. What made this worse was that the conversation was so obviously sparked by our baby, being the only one in the cafe. My husband and I don’t love hearing our child cry either but I do think it’s very rude to make such a statement that customers can hear.

The sandwich came with chips and salad which was average but what you would expect at this price point and the fact it is a casual cafe and not a restaurant.

Atmosphere inside the cafe looked nice and it was pretty busy.

The lady who served us was nice and polite and the food was served quickly and efficiently so no...

The most beautiful cafe do you know why? The staff, they are so attentive to your needs and will cater for whatever, I watch in silence as I’m a regular customer and the young lad who works there is an absolute delight, if you’re the owner of this cafe and reading this, the young lad who works there is impeccable, I own a restaurant in Chorlton on Barlow Moor Road and I know what exceptional service looks like when I see it, this lad cares and it’s great to see.
