Ethically sourced beans in Manchester

“Super workplace coffee shop in Exchange Quay. Easy to drop in for coffee with a group - never a long wait and very quick service. Great quality coffee, and 50p off when using a reusable coffee cup. Many other options such as alternative lattes and teas. Also new cakes & pastries available each week. Small seating space downstairs, or large benches and sofas for groups upstairs.”

“May be a small place but it is consistently excellent food and lovely guy. I bought recently to take away 2 whole small toffee/nut/choc maple syrup cheesecakes…..they were divine as described by the guest I served it to.”

“Kane is an amazing individual and a great cup of coffee. I found him through his tues-thurs at fell bar in chorlton and now I’m a regular at both. Great person, great coffee, would 100% recommend!”

“Beautiful independent coffee shop. I ordered the Guest Espresso - Friedhats Ethiopian; the strength and flavour were phenomenal, it had a rich sweetness to it. It was really cool to watch their process too.”

“We went for brunch and both had the bacon on sourdough ciabatta with black pudding and one with a fried egg. They were much larger than expected (no complaint there!), perfectly cooked and delicious. Allergens were checked for on ordering. The staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. Loved the style and atmosphere, looking forward to going again. Oh and the coffee was fab!”

“Lovely food. Pleasant atmosphere. Good décor. Great staff. Whether it's a quick and tasty lunch, coffee & amazing cake, or ice cream treat, this is a brilliant choice.”

“My friends and I had a coffee and pastry there and their drinks and pastries were super delicious esp the pistachio croissant was so rich and yummy”

“I loved this place. Everything you would expect from it is there. As you may see there are a lot of literature you can read, meal choice is absolutely perfect, I have enjoyed my toast and cheesecake so much! Flat white with oat milk was absolutely amazing. I have also liked the stuff as well, they were pretty kind and friendly to everyone. Unfortunately, they don’t accept cash so be mindful and take your card with u! In total, I would say this was one of the best places I have visited for now in Manchester for sure. Please, if you have any chance, come and enjoy your life there. Thank you, guys!”

“Had the halloumi pesto sandwich and it was amazing! The American is nice too. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. Will definitely be coming back.”

“A nice cafe at AMBS building. The coffee is tasty and inexpensive. The foods are delicious and their soups of the week are just unbeatable. I recommend chilled brew and soups.”

“Absolutely brilliant, love getting my coffee before the train. The team are always so smiley no matter what the time in the morning! They always make sure my coffee comes before the train even if I leave it late they are so speedy and happy! Top service!”

“A wonderful place for anyone who appreciates great drinks and a cozy atmosphere! Black Sheep Coffee always feels warm and inviting — the aroma of freshly brewed coffee instantly lifts your mood, and the stylish interior creates a perfect little escape in the middle of the city. The service here truly stands out — the staff treats every guest with genuine care and attention. A special thank you to Rishi. He’s incredibly friendly, polite, and a true professional! He helped me choose the right drink and explained all the options — thanks to him, I’m now enjoying a delicious hot chocolate. And with the Christmas atmosphere outside the window, it feels absolutely magical. Thank you, Rishi, for the amazing service and wonderful experience!”

“Thank you so much Marita for your generosity and hospitality. You are an asset to the company. Hope they look after you”

“So I was about to go to Sainsbury's cafe when I chanced upon this lovely little cafe. Pleasant place for a nice bite to eat. Only takes cash so make sure you have some on you. The price is reasonable and the staff are helpful.”

“Went in for a coffee which was very nice also had a bit of cake which was good the shop was quite and plenty of seats to sit down”

“Costa Coffee is one of my favorite cafes. Their coffee is delicious and perfectly made. The cakes are balanced in taste, and I also love their sandwiches. The Stratford branch is quiet, the staff are amazing, and the place is spacious. I enjoy meeting my friends there, and I love everything about it.”

“To me, it is one of the best branches of Nero’s in the country. All the baristas here are decent and make tasty coffee and also very friendly. The menu was taken on 13 Apr 2024. Quiet, nice and cozy ambience. There are also four or five tables outside at the front and a couple more tables at the back. There are a few pay-at-machine parking spaces just outside the cafe and also two or three (non-free) parking lots around. (Browncross Street Car park is an expensive place and you might want to use Si P Spaw Street Arches Car park which is much cheaper. However, it is not so obvious where the boundary lies between the two car parks so watch out for it as there seem to be many people who got fined for wrong parking there.)”

“I often go out of my way to walk a little bit extra to visit this Costa as I find it a much nicer location than any of the other city centre branches! I'd been wanting to try the tandoori bhaji flatbread for a while but had tried 3 other Costas in Manchester and had no luck. Went to Bridge Street and got one straight away. The staff are always super friendly, the location is more peaceful than others in the city centre and it's always been clean when I've nipped in for a coffee or lunch. This is one of my favourite Costa branches and I would highly recommend visiting this one.”

“I visited the Starbucks at Television House in Manchester and really liked the place. It’s in a convenient city centre location, easy to reach and perfect for a quick coffee break or to relax for a while. The café was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and polite, and my order was served quickly. The atmosphere was pleasant — nice background music, good lighting, and a calm vibe even though it’s usually quite busy during rush hours. There’s free Wi-Fi and enough seating for short stays, though it can get crowded at times. Overall, a nice spot for a coffee in the heart of Manchester. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 for its service, cleanliness, and location.”

“Great customer service! Everytime I come here I leave happy. Zack who served me is fantastic always smiley happy and very welcoming. A hot chocolate was suggested to me and it did not disappoint!”

“Fantastic staff, delicious and aromatic coffee ,I would visit it again”

“A brand new starbucks on the edge of a busy business park, well located next to the golf course. The ususal range of edibles and drinks, I am going for 5 stars, as although this venue has only been open 3 days, and the staff are still getting to grips with things creating that slightly panicked atmosphere, it is so wonderful to have a starbucks here and they are really trying. It's well fitted and well furnished, with a range of seating suitable for couples, groups, and even small meetings. The food and drinks meet the consistent starbucks standard. There is a nice seated area outside, and it would be wonderful if they could trim the hedgerows and reveal the view of the golf course beyond. The staff were very friendly and the building is really light and the tables aren't too tightly packed inside. The car park had filled up quite quickly (first Sunday afternoon open though) but there is a lovely walk around the golf course if someone wanted to make a trip of it.”
