Welcome to Butterfly Cafe and Bar, a charming spot nestled in the heart of Eccles, Manchester. Located conveniently at 23a Church St, this delightful cafe is more than just a place to refuel; it's a haven where warmth and hospitality embrace you the moment you step inside.

As you enter, the friendly atmosphere greets you, inviting you to unwind and enjoy local flavors that tickle the palate. Whether you're in the mood for a comforting cheese toastie at just £4 or a refreshing strawberry smoothie for £4.50, each menu item is crafted with care and attention to detail.

For those seeking a heartier option, indulge in their scrumptious all-day breakfast, which has garnered rave reviews from patrons. Picture a vibrant plate filled with everything you might expect from a full English – rich sausages, crispy bacon, and perfectly cooked eggs – all served in generous portions that ensure you're satisfied and smiling. As customer Andrew notes, "Great food at seriously good value!" and indeed, with prices like £4 pints and £5 toasties, you won’t want to miss this culinary treasure.

Butterfly Cafe strikes a perfect balance between being a cafe, bar, and casual restaurant. As Chester Tourist notes, it’s a lovely little place trying to do it all, and they are succeeding with flying colors! With a delightful selection of homemade soups and an ever-reliable beer offering, you’ll find the perfect sip to accompany your meal.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick milkshake (£2) to quench your thirst or looking to settle in with a loved one over a delicious brekky wrap, the ambiance here encourages you to linger a little longer. The upstairs seating area provides a peaceful retreat where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the street below.

In conclusion, Butterfly Cafe and Bar is a diamond in the rough, inviting you to discover it on your next visit to Eccles.

Nice little place that tries to be a cafe, bar and small restaurant all in one. Located next to the church on the main shopping street this was an amazing find. Very friendly and welcoming inside. The toilets are upstairs.

Great food at seriously good value! With £4 pints and £5 toasties you won’t find a cheaper cafe. We got the full English breakfast and Brekky wrap, both of which included everything you’d expect and generous in portion size as well. With lovely service and a great atmosphere, can’t recommend this joint enough!

This place is a diamond in the rough. I ordered a burger. It was amazing. They have very pleasant staff serving great breakfasts and all-day food. If you fancy a beer, they have that too. The prices are so reasonable, bordering on comparatively cheap. For a lovely, peaceful experience, go upstairs. It's a big yes from me. Good food, good prices, great people.

Lovely little cafe. Great variety in the menu. Toasties were particularly good. And really superb value for money. To be honest, they could put 10-20% on top of current pricing and still be competitive - hopefully the new flats opposite should provide a valuable source of fresh clientele.

Great large full English & very good Americana. Lovely friendly service. Would definitely return. 4* on food just because sausages were good but not excellent & plate needed to be hotter. Apart from those 2 small things I was very happy & very comfortable. Nice place. Thanks.
