    Used to really like this place. Until I experienced petty behaviour from one of the servers upon having asked for more water for my tea. I started going elsewhere.

    The vegetarian breakfast was unreal. A real treat to have stumbled across this place. It felt almost like a trendy swimming baths. Will return next time we're in Manchester. Friendly staff with good chat too.

    Disappointing service and deceiving menu. Fresh mint tea = mint tea bag with freshly boiled water!! All their teas come as tea bags which is fine but why call it “fresh” mint tea when it’s not fresh mint and it is a tea bag. I pointed it out to the staff and their response was it is freshly made!! I’m not aware that having a “not freshly” made tea was an option!

    Stumbled upon Lättsam when passing one day when visiting Manchester and I'm so glad I did. A beautiful environment for if you're there to work or on a social visit. It's so calm and pleasant, plenty of natural light as it's surrounded in glass windows all the way around the space. The staff are calm, inviting and all-round friendly. I had a pint of the hazy mikkeller which I find to be rare to obtain on draught, this was of a high quality and poured perfectly. It was clean and crisp tasting. I didn't have any food but what I saw of others it looked incredible so next time I'm in Manchester I'll be visiting a few more times for coffee and brunch for sure! Overall a lovely spot tucked away, great for various occasions. Can't wait to return!
