    Nice coffee spot, the cappuccino was a delight! The interior (and good music) is a great plus in addition to the great taste and friendly staff!

    From a cafe just next to a train station you would expect crowd, queues, chaos at rush hours and staff too busy to even look at you, let alone smiling while serving you! Yet, what was waiting for me this morning beyond the door of Java Bar Espresso it's exactly the opposite.

    The place is tiny and cozy, and I immediately fell in love with the vintage decor. Still, there's no doubt that I've had the best breakfast since I've moved to Manchester. My caffe latte was superb, so creamy! Just as if I were back to Italy. The choice of sweets and cakes is so wide that I had to stop and reflect for a while; I eventually opted for a chocolate muffin, excellent, especially thanks to its light amaretto flavour. Their selection of savoury seems very interesting as well, and I'm looking forward to pay this place a visit around lunchtime.

    Quite surprised that the amount of times that I visited this place during the past year I still haven't still reviewed this place. Since going to java Bar Espresso it has become an love affair. This place definitely does great tea/coffee.

    Stopped by to pick up a quick latte. Quick friendly service. The place had a nice cozy feeling.

    I'm quite surprised I've never reviewed this place as I really love it, it's a great spot just by Oxford Road train station and is much more than the sum of its parts!

    Some of the reasons it kicks ass:

    1. Great coffee and decent prices, plus a good range of soft drinks and teas.

    2. Great to take a load of in or outside with plenty of room for people watching.

    3. With it being so close to the train station and my trains being delayed quite often it means you can shelter from the cold just that bit longer before having to make your way up to the windy platforms.

    4. Friendly staff and chilled out clientele

    5. It beats other train station options hands down for quality produce, the food always looks pretty good too.
