Even so, we tried and here are our top options for caffeine fixes in the central-to-west of Manchester!
Kin Bakehouse + Kitchen
In the heart of Urmston, Kin Bakehouse + Kitchen serves up delicious coffee and baked goods to a very happy neighbourhood. With the goal “to create a place where people feel welcome, comfortable and at home - a feeling that you are our friends, our family, our tribe, and that we are your Kin…”, this is a must-stop if you’re in the area.
The Larder at 7
Owner + operator Carol Chappell, moved away from her IT career to open The Larder at 7 and hasn’t looked back! A super warm, super welcoming vibe, fresh ingredients and delightful treats, this stop is exactly what you need after a hard day’s window shopping and weekend wandering!
Pot Kettle Black
With absolute dedication to the perfectly brewed coffee, Pot Kettle Black has taken the Antipodean cafe culture, turned it upside down and brought it to the northern part of the world! Gorgeous food, a perfect brew and a natural, Make Life Richer atmosphere to boot. More please.
Fig + Sparrow
It doesn’t get cuter than Fig + Sparrow (and we’re a big fan of a ‘plus’ used anywhere)! Located in central manchester, this is the perfect urban oasis to watch the bustling world go by and get your fix of locally-roasted coffee from Grind Smith Coffee!
Mackie Mayor
Spanning two floors of heritage listed building, Mackie Mayor is a Manchester staple and must-stop in the city. With long tables, you can be sure there’s some long lunches and coffee-sipping in your future here!
Idle Hands
Committed to treating coffee the way it should be treated (with respect and revere and in copious amounts), Idle Hands has been on a self-described ‘bumpy journey’ and we are all here for making the story a smooth one from here on out. Great food, great craic, impeccable coffee. What more do you need? Oh, did we mention they make pies?
Grapefruit Coffee &
Primo coffee and baked goods you say? Sold! says us. Grapefruit Coffee & in Sale, Manchester (right nextdoor to the tram stop!) is the perfect addition to your neighbourhood exploration and canal-wandering weekend.
