Lovely people making splendid food. I dropped in between a bus and train stopover and the folks at Manna made me feel welcome as a local. Highly recommend.

Completely astonishing and in a 'manna' of speaking; beautiful. Dog friendly restaurant /coffee shop and plenty of options for vegans, dairy free and any other allergies or dietary requirements. Does come in large quantities. Lovely coffee and cake. Wide range of fillings for bagels and wraps.

Manna is my favourite place to eat in Elgin. Excellent kind service where the food is amazing with specials that never fail to deliver. They often do a chilli corn coconut chowder that is the best soup I've ever had. Juices are freshly made and I would recommend the limeade as it's punchy and refreshing. Wide range of cakes so there's always a treat.

Another delicious trip to manna. We tried the Reuben and chipotle pork bagels from the specials board today, as well as the 'local' juice. Beautiful presentation, and even better service!

Food was amazing, some of the best salads I’ve had in a while, with freshly made smoothies made on the premises. The restaurant is a bit small so if you want a seat I’d advise being there early but they do a takeaway service if it isn’t available. Customer service was excellent with very friendly and approachable staff.
