A&E Coffee & Tea

This is my go-to coffee spot in Manchester. The inside space is a little small to sit and sip, but there is outdoor seating in the warmer months.

A bit more expensive than a Starbucks - but way, way better than Starbucks!!
My drink was excellent, the staff was so kind and considerate to everybody who came in - I’m almost ready to drive all the way there just for another visit!

Very friendly. Amazing coffee. We had the Brazil blend (strong & delicious). Highly recommended.

Super cute small tea and coffee shop with immaculate chill plant vibes! Highly recommend the almond creme

It is small but cozy. The coffee was excellent. Will definitely go again.

I've been to this place in Manchester only a handful of times. First, I liked the hipster vibe of the place, but when it came to dealing with staff and the order itself things got really ugly. First, they charge almost 5$ for the smallest cup of latte, second, I ordered a meal to go that apparently cost me 6$. Please see the picture I've attached. The girl on the register looked very aloof and disinterested in talking to me.
Absolutely plain, toasted English muffin with an egg and a piece of bacon.These two items cost me 11$. I'm still not sure if that's a joke or not, but i took a bite maybe once and then it went in trash.

Delicious! Got the Earl Grey Hot Chocolate with almond milk. The hubs got the Kiss from a Rose. So good! Flavors are perfect. Rose water flavor isn't overwhelming and that takes talent!

I work here, but I still think the coffee is top tier. I like the nut and honey 1/2 sweet if anyone was curious

The coffee and espresso here are wonderful! We buy at least one bag per week (Nuovo or Bonbon espresso) and love it! Love that it's local and fresh and just so darn good! The staff are generally really great, but depending on who's there you can sometimes get rude or snotty staff who seem frazzled. Summer (I think her name is...?), one of the managers, is super sweet and very helpful!

My 89 year old mother had heard good things about the shop and wanted to try it out so she went in the other morning. There were not any other customers in line. After reviewing the coffee options, she politely asked for a small coffee from the young lady at the counter. Right away, another lady came over and said "there's no need to have an attitude when ordering, this is a new employee!" My mother was certainly surprised by the employee that was giving the "attitude" as she simply requested a small coffee. Not sure the relevancy of an employee being new or how anyone would even know an employee is new. Regardless, better treatment of a customer, especially an elderly customer is clearly in order here. Again, my mom wanted to try someplace new as she usually goes to The Bridge Cafe as they have provided consistently good service. May try A&E again but the first impression was not a good one. BTW, the quality of the coffee was fine but a little courtesy and politeness, especially towards a senior citizen, goes a long way.
