All The Shapes - Bury

This place has really disappointed and there are a growing number of much better options in Prestwich these days. We had planned a birthday brunch for 11 family members, so went to the website to make our reservation. Our emailed reservation was never confirmed so numerous phone calls (and voice messages) were made and all went unanswered and unreturned so we decided to take our chance and show up anyway. The attitude of the staff was very rude and flippant about the missed reservation. Consequently we were turned away at the requested time being told “we don’t take reservations”. If this is the case then up date your website. We are regular customers and local residents who will not be returning. Thankfully our birthday brunch was saved by the wonderful experience at Cuckoo a few hundred metres away.

Terrible expensive experience to be honest! We went as a small family for Father’s Day, please believe we won’t be attending again!! There were 4 members of staff supposedly “working” the bar.. yet the tables weren’t even clean when we sat down crumbs stuck on food. For the 1.5 hours we were sat WAITING, I observed 3 of them sat down eating at the bar with their backs to customers, congregating, chatting amongst themselves. I had to get up to order drinks, I had to get up to get a menu, I’ve even had to wildly attract another’s attention just to pay the bill at the end for the entire time we were there nobody even checked on our table, checked the food brought out or asked if we would like anything else. Only to discover after leaving that we were charged 10% £5.47 gratuity AS STANDARD, it felt like a liberty an absolute kick in the teeth!! The staff establishment were entirely unworthy of it, and the food given to us was below the standard for prices charged. For 2 adults 1 toddler the bill was £60!!!!! This bar should be embarrassed to be presenting this experience as a standard to customers at these prices. Needless to say we won’t be returning, underwhelmed, over charged ripped off!! Lazy, dirty staff who couldn’t care less so long as they get their tip.

This is a dreamy neighbourhood side street cafe bar. The coffee was excellent, best flat white i've had in the area. We dug into the breakfast tacos with additional halloumi. These were just what the doctored ordered, very tasty and filling... set us up for the entire day. The place was absolutely packed, seems to be a very popular place. The staff were super on it though and the food was delivered fast. Top atmosphere and tunes. We'll be back for sure.

Haven 't been here for a while.. it was always delicious and cosy. We found it very cold today with the door open. Our coffee was bitter... so we sent all 3 back and drank water. The full English wasn 't bad but sub standard compared to recent breakfast we 've had elsewhere. The green eggs were not edible as the greens were bitter, hard and unable to chew, the avocado was rock hard. The breakfast tacos were awful.. warm salad and tasteless eggs on uncharred tortillas. Really disappointing. I hope things improve for the better of the business. they didn 't charge for the 3 coffees and the 2 breakfasts we sent back and the barrisa mouthed a 'sorry about that ' when we were leaving but the morning was spoiled. At those prices you must do better guys

After a very enjoyable 1st visit we returned today for our 2nd visit, we could not have been more disappointed. Orange juice full of ice without asking Cremated fried eggs that we had to send back and overcooked beans bacon. £37 for 2 breakfast, 2 coffees and 1 juice. We told the cashier it was very disappointing. He said sorry, will tell the chef. There will not be a 3rd visit. Sorry.
