The 20 Best Roasted coffee in Sale

“Cute, charming, and so friendly - I’ll definitely be back. (Psst - try the bacon sarnie on sourdough!)”

“What a fantastic little roastery. I picked up a flat white and a bag of beans from them at Bolton food festival and I honestly can't stop ordering their coffee since. They've got a great range of coffee in their online shop that have become a staple at home, and are great for a wide range of brewing methods. I can't wait to try their cafe next! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a local roastery in Manchester, especially love their atomic fable.”

“Great lunch during work Popped in, purchased a bagel and sat by one of the seats by the window. It was very peaceful, the bagel was delicious and so was the coffee. The cafe is really bright and open, making it a good spot to have a chill hang-out.”

“Absolutely lovely. A real find tucked away in the centre of Shoreheath. Lovely staff and great food. Perfect. x”

“Superb speed and quality of goods. Was unsure if I could sit inside so just grabbed to go. Will definitely visit again”

“Visit here regular, with my girlfriend. As she rides her horses past this hidden gem! The food is always piping hot and the cakes…. They’re exceptional Wow I’ll leave that there. The drinks are made to exactly how you ask! I always have coconut milk and there’s no questions asked! The owners Dane and Jenny are so friendly and down to earth. Can’t fault it”

“We’ve been here twice recently because it’s just so good! The first time I had the Turkish eggs with halloumi and sausage, then the second time I went for the chicken and pancakes, both were amazing. One visit was around 11am on a Saturday and there was about a 15-minute wait, but definitely worth it. The other time we went a bit later and got a table straight away. You can book ahead, but they also keep some tables for walk-ins. Staff are nice and friendly and really good to accommodate allergies too”

“Good espresso and great people!”

“Great little coffee shop. Nice selection of, home made, sandwiches and cake, to go with the excellent coffee. Definitely be returning there.”

“Wonderful food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Came here 14th December for the Christmas markets and parade. Would recommend to come here for a bite to eat or if the other pubs are full. We'll worth the money”

“Great vegan pizza experience. This café has a great menu, the prices are spot on, the ambience is wonderful, it's so authentic, a little slice of Italy right here in Sale, Manchester. I'm definitely going to come back and bring the family.”

“I recently visited this café, and while the atmosphere and menu were impressive on their own, what truly elevated the experience was the service provided by David, one of the baristas behind the bar. His presence alone seems to set the tone for the entire front-of-house operation. From the moment I walked in, David greeted me with a level of warmth and attentiveness that felt genuinely welcoming rather than rehearsed. He has that rare balance of professionalism and approachability—quick to offer guidance on the menu but never in a way that feels pushy. When I mentioned I was looking for something new to try, he asked a few thoughtful questions about flavor preferences and then recommended a single-origin pour-over he felt would suit my taste. He explained the origin, tasting notes, and brewing process with an enthusiasm that felt authentic, not pretentious. The coffee itself was outstanding—clean, balanced, and clearly prepared with precision. What stood out even more was the care David took while preparing it: checking the grind, timing the extraction, and serving it with a brief explanation of what to expect. It’s the kind of attention to detail that shows he takes pride in his craft. Beyond the coffee, David’s presence contributes to the overall atmosphere of the café. He moves with efficiency during busy stretches without ever making customers feel rushed. I noticed him quietly anticipating needs—refreshing water glasses, wiping down the bar between orders, and checking in with guests at the perfect moments. He also seems to have built rapport with many regulars, greeting them by name and remembering their usual orders, which says a lot about both his consistency and the community feel he helps foster. In an industry where service can often feel transactional, David’s approach stands out. He brings expertise, personality, and an obvious passion for coffee, turning a simple visit into something memorable. If you stop by this café, I’d highly recommend ordering at the bar—you’ll likely learn something new and leave with a drink that’s crafted with exceptional care.”

“One of the best coffees i had in costa. Divi made me an excellent flat white. Thanks”

“Clean, comfortable, modern, very user friendly, eat in, take away, drive through- peaceful relaxing atmosphere , helpful attentive friendly staff,foods beautifully displayed making choices easier - great food, great coffee. Highly recommend it.”

“This is my No.1 Costa, excellent service, excellent coffee and lovely staff, I've been to many a Costa in some supposedly "nicer" locations but usually its been appalling. This is the one if you want your moneys-worth! The staff work hard keeping the queue moving and the very fact the cafe is always packed shows how popular the place is.”

“Wonderful barristas - always cheerful and friendly - they know their regular customers and orders so well. Special shout out to Mandeep and Kayleigh; you are both just wonderful ❤️”

“This Costa is usually and understandably busy but I was very happy to get a table today. I had a lovely cappuccino and a cake. It is a very nice Costa to take a break in and watch the shoppers walk by. The staff were very friendly, they cleared and cleaned my table for me. The cappuccino was delicious and I had a very enjoyable experience. Thanks to all the staff at Costa. Thanks for reading”

“Great staff, friendly and polite. Incredibly welcoming atmosphere. Staff here are what all caffès should aspire to.”

“Great coffee and atmosphere! Stopped by Starbucks today and had such a pleasant experience. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and my drink was made perfectly — exactly how I like it. The place was clean, cozy, and had a nice vibe to relax or get some work done. Loved the aroma of fresh coffee and the calm background music. Definitely coming back for another cup soon!”

“Great service, fixed within a couple of hours and made a few helpful suggestions on grinder upgrades available. Will use again if I have any issues.”

“Best sandwich shop in South Manchester by a mile, have been coming here for well over 10 years. Lynn and the team are fantastic, always happy to see you. The food is outstanding and exceptionaly good value. I HIGHLY reccomend a Shark Special with bacon, although I've tried nearly all the menu over the years and there is not a single item I didn't enjoy. Do call ahead for quick pickup, it is busy between 11.30-2.”

“I had the wonderful opportunity to visit federal market over the weekend with my sister. There was a small line but we were welcomed with hot chocolate and a wonderful greeting which made it feel like a much shorter wait. As we sat, I was greeting kindly by our waiter as we roughly scanned through the menu with only one thing in mind, French Toast. As the french toast arrived, I was astonished and amazed at the presentation. A nice strawberry syrup almost circling the french toast. Taking my first bite, the soft and pillow-like toast mixed with the not so overly sweet whipped cream and strawberry jam that really worked with well together with the acidity of the fresh fruit cutting through the richness. Every bite was consistent with that same taste as the first bite which I believe is crucial in any dish. The place was vibrant and welcoming with a nice atmosphere. Music even playing at the perfect volume where you can speak to the people with you and still enjoy it. 100% my new favorite spot here in Manchester. Recommend everyone to try the french toast.”

“Lovely cafe! Cracking food, awesome coffee and good value. Well worth a stop if you can get a seat!”

“Great cafe located in the bus/train/tram transport terminal. Fab to get a take away to take to terminal one, two or three, or if you have time to kill before leaving the airport it's got a nice large sit down area inside. The Italian cream buns are out of this world, defo worth a try if you have not tried before. The coffee is freshly ground and delicious, great quality. The service is as fast as they can, however it can be still take a while when they are busy due to it all being hand crafted.”

“Quick and friendly service, a decent selection for a small outlet and reasonable prices. The Café itself is located inside the Music and Drama centre.”

“Have been a few times now and love their pumpkin spiced latte. Definitely need some more gluten free options which are very limited. I also had to clear a table today as the three tables at the back had rubbish and used cups on them. There were about four members of staff so this wasn't great but five stars regardless as the place is lovely, staff friendly and drink delicious.”
