Gooey Bakery + Café

Once we were seated, our experience at Gooey was great. We ordered the French toast, chicken Milanese sandwich and a side of hash browns. All the food was really tasty, fresh, and hot. The service was speedy and a drink mix up was corrected very promptly.However, I think the 30+ minute wait for a table was completely unnecessary. The seating system could have been so much more efficient. There was a group of 4 at the front of the queue, and instead of bringing forward pairs as smaller tables became available, staff waited until the 4 had been seated to start bringing in smaller groups. There was a whole row of window seats free for about 20 minutes which could have seated at least 4 pairs waiting. I appreciate service is busy, but there could be a member of staff checking group numbers in the queue and bringing them in as tables become available. If it weren’t for the wait, it would have been 5 stars.

Best cookie (milk chocolate) I’ve ever had. Slightly firm outer shell, and slightly soft inside. Had volume, that is to say, it was not flat and overly buttery. Large size, felt like it was never ending - which suited me perfectly.

FABULOUS!!We tried the iconic French toast, Egg sandwich and hash browns with a refreshing iced watermelon tea. We enjoyed each and every bite. Service and ambience were phenomenal. We were fortunate to get in without waiting, otherwise expect a long queue. Will visit again.

A 20-30 minute wait when you’re already a bit hungover and decaffeinated might not seem like the wisest choice when you’re stuck in the ever-present queue for Gooey.I’m glad I waited. The French toast was the best I’ve had in my life. The perfect balance of savoury and sweet. The coffee was good but not amazing, but that’s not what I came here for so doesn’t really factor into my 5 star decision. Thoroughly recommend!

Food was good, we had French toast which was delicious, hash browns was good and the egg sandwich which was average. We also had their donuts and cookies for takeaway which was good and kids enjoyed them on our long way back. Customer service was okay and we had to wait for 30 minutes for a table.

If you are around the city centre and craving for some amazing French toast, sandwich , donuts and cookies , this is the place.Make sure to have some buffer time when coming in here on weekends , since they have a long queue to get in.Their French toast is absolutely loves and their sandwich is top notch.The toasted bread is perfect, and the gooey egg stuffed between the bread is nothing short of an art exploding in your mouth , and making merry in your tummy.

Interesting place to have a breakfast or a brunch. They have great pastries and interesting options about hot drinks while prices are little high (easy between 7-12£ per head) and started to be more popular in the last week's, still be a good option to visit in Manchester.Their waiters are really kind and the place is big and not really noisy.

That was stunning. The French toast so soft, creamy, with a caramel centre and drenched in butter and sweet syrup, never had anything like it before.The Reuben sandwich is beautiful - perfect blend of meat and sauerkraut, so well done. Will be back for sure.

Excellent spot for desserts or breakfast food. Didn’t have the chicken or I but my friend had it and said it was great. Sauce was maybe a hint sweet. Bacon and egg sandwich was great, and decent value. Coffee is good and the cookies were amazing, though hefty and very sweet.
