This place closes today, they did good food, service was so so. The main reason there closing is that they thought it was a bistro and not a cafe. People could book tables for breakfast?! I was turned away three times in the morning for breakfast as tables had been booked. After the third time we never went back and went to Wrappers cafe for breakfast where you couldn't book a table. It was a cafe, that's all, not a bistro and that's why it's closing.
First time at the buzzy bee and I’ll definitely be back. Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere, great service and at a very reasonable price. A real asset to the local community. 👍
Was very busy when we arrived so we asked to reserve and they called us when ready only waited about 20 minutes.
The food was super tasty, the staff were wonderful.
The only downside was that the tables could do with being a bit more thoroughly wiped down.

Very good small independent coffee shop offering a range of food and drinks at reasonable prices. I had coffee and toast and the coffee hit the spot, the toast nice thick bloomer slice. All good. Friendly staff and nicer to be in than its surroundings.
Followed other recommendations on Google and went to this little gem in Swinton on a recent trip to Greater Manchester. Liked it so much we went for breakfast two days running!! Great plant based breakfast options with a wide choice of additions to be had.
Will definitely return if in the area in the future!!

One of my favourite places to come and work as the coffee and atmosphere are 10/10. However, came and had brunch today and can honestly say in 6 years of being vegan it's the best breakfast I've had! My brother ordered the breakfast sandwich which he said was amazing. Also incredibly good value for money all this plus an oat flat white and half pint of Moretti came to £20!
The only thing good about Swinton precinct.
Such a lovely atmosphere staff are lovely.
Quality of the food is amazing. Worth the money the cute parrot Milo is also definitely a selling point ..kids were obsessed with him and the milkshakes 🥰

Food is top notch and had a great meal.
Walked in and kinda stood in the middle awkwardly waiting to been seen too, it looked like they were having issues with one of the machines, thought someone would have acknowledged us or asked if we wanted a seat (if someone said hi be with you in a second we won't of felt weird, like we were in the middle of their service). We approached one of the waitresses and asked if we can sit outside, found a space and was given a menu, asked if we wanted a drink straight away but said we needed time to review the menu as it was our first time here. Our waitress was very younger and honest with her description about the food.
The menu sounded tasty and wanted to try it all, but settled for the eggs Benedict, my partner getting the salmon and I got the bacon. Ordered a passion fruit smoothie and a pineapple smoothie too, these came out very quickly and were very refreshing, the passion fruit was sweet and sharp and was a decent amount.
We were told that my bacon dish would come out later as they ran out of supplies and asked if I was happy to wait and I agreed, 5minutes later both of our meals came out and looked fantastic! The garlic spinach was bang on, not over powering at all, the bacon was real bacon, tasted of good quality and decent amount and the eggs were a little over for my liking but tasty none the less. The potatoes were well seasoned and very crispy, enjoyed dipping into some ketchup. Fantastic meal and highly recommend it. My partners dish looks scrumptious too.
After both finishing our meals, we were satisfied and happy with the meal we had just had but wanted a sweet treat. We ordered a plate of pancakes to share, best decision of the day. Three beautifully stack pillows with caramelised banana in-between with just the right amount of Nutella on.. the picture can not convey how tasty this was!
Although we had a great experience here, some other patrons didn't, two people had a delay with their coffee which they made very clear to the rest of the diners, telling everyone how they had waited a long time as they left, turns out busy bees were having issues with the coffee machine and the diners were told, even given a brownie for the delay but still left disgruntled.
Another table waited the entire length of our meal (two courses) to be served hers only to be packaged up for her to take away.
Amazing to have something like this so close to us and can't wait to visit again, it is new and more can be done to refine the service making it more smooth and to help all patrons have the same experience but I'm really happy something like this is here (Perhaps giving roles or sections/tables to stop doubling up (one table was asked if the food was okay by three different waitresses)).
Definitely coming back again for the food, well worth a visit!
