Waterworks Cafe

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Yesterday was our first time here, and we were greeted by Kathy at the register. She kindly informed me that they would be closing in 20 minutes, to which I told her I’d happily take the meal to go. I had a baby and a 4-year-old with me, so speed eating wasn’t an option. Despite this, she insisted that I take a table, and that she “had plenty to do anyway” so I could take my time. I was a little disappointed not to see more kid-friendly options on the lunch menu, but I privately planned to take my daughter to Dunkin after leaving there. Meanwhile, little did I know that the kitchen staff were making a giant Mickey Mouse pancake (that I didn’t order) to surprise my kids with! Kathy brought it out like it was no big deal, and I was speechless. My daughter was ecstatic, and I was holding back tears at the kindness of these staff members going so out of their way for us. Once we finished eating and I started cleaning up, Kathy tried to insist that I just leave the mess for her (I didn’t, but still how nice is it that she offered?). In a world where little kids are too often seen as inconvenient and moms are accustomed to either eating just at home or in their cars, I’m so touched by the incredible staff at Waterworks Cafe. The food was excellent, but it was their kindness that really made the biggest impression. Kathy is an absolute gem, and I hope that she knows just how much I appreciate her hospitality!

I had the banana nut French toast and it was divine. The best French toast I gave ever had. Mouth watering. The potatoes I had with it were crispy and delicious 😋. You absolutely need to come in and see the atmosphere its beautiful as well. The people are very nice and the prices are reasonable.

Beautiful cafe. Food takes a bit. But that’s ok when you have a great cup of coffee to keep you company

Water works breakfast = best breakfast in Manchester! Two eggs over easy, sourdough toast ,potato wedges seasoned to perfection and bacon. Compliments to the cooks. Atmosphere is very chill , rustic and pleasant. This is exactly what Manchester needs. Great job 👏

Disgusting!!! I was on a field trip in the mills and this was the only place around. When I sat down to eat lunch and after eating half of my lunch I saw something off in my wrap… There was a bug in my food. I tried to call but there was no option to talk to anyone. I’m so disgusted and mad I just want to throw up. Wasting $16 on this food just to see a bug so disappointing
