Chai Latte
About This Spot
Stepping into Chai Latte on Stevenson Square feels like sinking into a calm haven amid the steady buzz of Manchester’s city centre. It’s a cozy, unhurried space where morning sunlight filters gently through the windows, warming the soft hum of friendly chatter and clinking cups. The rhythm here invites you to pause, settle in, and quietly watch the world unfold, whether you’re greeting the day or easing into a relaxed afternoon.
This café is a comforting blend of old-fashioned charm and thoughtful, modern touches. You’ll notice the welcoming smiles and genuine warmth from the staff, whose attentiveness creates a subtle but meaningful layer of care in the air. It’s a place where regulars and new visitors alike find a sense of belonging without pretense.
Food here is more than fuel—it’s a nod to tradition and a celebration of flavour, with a distinct nod to halal-friendly choices that cater to a diverse community. The menu gently weaves familiar breakfast and brunch classics with vibrant, aromatic staples like masala chai and Desi tea, perfectly paired with freshly brewed coffee that carries its own quiet magic. Each plate and cup feels thoughtfully prepared, offering comfort without ceremony.
Whether you’re drawn by the promise of a hearty halal full English or the subtle spices in a freshly made paratha, the experience quietly lingers—a sense of satisfaction that extends beyond just the taste. The atmosphere encourages long, easy conversations or solitary moments with a good book, wrapped in the kind of cozy familiarity that makes this café a hidden gem among Manchester’s eclectic landscape.
Chai Latte isn’t just a place to eat or drink; it’s where the city’s pace softens, where visitors and locals alike can savor simple pleasures under the warmth of genuine hospitality.

Great local spot! I come here all the time — the food’s always fresh and the coffee’s really good. The staff are super friendly (especially Lilly!) and it’s got a really nice, relaxed vibe. Definitely one of my favourite cafés around.

Such a lovely place with great food and hot drinks. I had to try the ‘chai latte’ and it was delicious! Ended up coming back in the afternoon for another one! The cheese sandwich with Cajun chicken hit the spot. Would recommend to all. The staff are very friendly and accommodating

I visited this place today and had a really fantastic experience. The two ladies working were absolutely wonderful, providing good service. They were so attentive and made sure we were looked after. Plus, the food was good, I'm definitely planning on coming back soon! The Good: - plenty of seating and quick service The Bad: - a little cold could do with some heating facilities or keeping the place a little warm The End: - Overall I enjoyed the care and consideration put in to their delivery of good customer service and food

I had such a lovely experience at Chai Latte! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the matcha was very refreshing. Lily was absolutely wonderful - friendly, attentive, and took initiative to make sure everything was perfect. This is my second visit and I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great service!

The best full English I’ve ever had. Not many halal spots that do 10/10 breakfast, but this is definitely up there. I would have taken a pic but I was so in awe that I only remembered after I finished. What beautiful waitresses and service

A decent spot with decent prices. Good range of food from uk brekkie to Indian street food. Great service here too.

The hot & spicy chicken burger I had was very flavorful and crispy giving it the perfect burger texture alongside the very nicely seasoned potato wedges complimenting the burger! Loved the portion size and it is guaranteed to keep you full for hours. The strawberry milkshake was very delicious on top of the great food. Place has very nice decoration giving it a home environment especially as the food is halal.
