Istanblue

Welcome to Istanblue, a charming café nestled in the heart of Handforth, where every visit feels like a delightful escape. Located at 146 Wilmslow Rd, the café boasts a welcoming atmosphere perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxing lunch break. With a recent renovation that adds to its allure, Istanblue is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

This delightful establishment offers a diverse breakfast menu that showcases the essence of comfort food. Whether you’re in the mood for the classic 3 Fried Eggs on Toast (£6.95) that pairs perfectly with a morning coffee or wish to indulge in the elegant Egg Royal (£12.50)—two poached eggs served with avocado, smoked salmon, and a heavenly hollandaise sauce—there’s something to suit every taste. Don't miss the filling Scrambled Egg Bacon Bagel (£10.50), served warm with golden, crispy bacon, providing a delightful crunch that will leave you satisfied and energized for the day.

If pastries are more your style, Istanblue excels in this area with a selection of freshly baked Croissants including sweet variations like Chocolate (£4.50) and savory options like Ham & Cheese (£6.50) that are sure to please. Each bite is a treat, embodying the perfect flaky texture and buttery richness that makes croissants a true morning joy.

The café's atmosphere is equally commendable, combining a relaxed vibe with friendly service. As customer Glen Morley passionately shares, the environment is inviting, making it easy to settle in with a good book or enjoy a quiet meal. You’ll find pleasant smiles and attentive service here, which enhance the overall experience as you sip on your favorite tea—from classic Regular Tea (£2.05) to the refreshing Peppermint Tea (£2.25).

Real patrons of Istanblue, like Mai and Kaz Scott, emphasize the value their delicious meals provide. Mai highlights the lovely vibes and fresh bread that perfectly complement her fish finger butty, while Kaz appreciates the good portion sizes and well-presented dishes at an affordable price. While there’s a note about needing a fresh coat of paint on the interior, the overall sentiment is that the experience greatly outweighs this minor detail.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Istanblue is a must-visit. With its excellent coffee, generous portions of delightful dishes, and friendly atmosphere, it’s a spot that invites you to linger just a little longer. So, step inside and soak in the warmth of this independent gem—the perfect addition to your day in Handforth!
