The filter programme is the point: single-origin Peru on pour-over, with baristas who talk in flavour notes rather than vibes. The flat white holds up too, which counts as a bonus at a place this serious about filter.

Single-origin pour-over in a business district that mostly just wants an Americano.

What we love

  • Single-origin filter: Peru named and on pour-over, flavour notes on the menu to match
  • Flat white holds up alongside the filter focus. Espresso is not an afterthought.
  • Knowledgeable baristas; an industry regular singled out the craft specifically
  • Brew menu runs from approachable to bold. The range is intentional.

Caravan Manchester★★★ Purist

Caravan's own roastery is the whole story here. One of Manchester's best cups, with the sourcing to back it up.

Bold Street Coffee Spinningfields★★ Specialty

Bold Street Coffee made its name in Liverpool's specialty scene. The Spinningfields outpost runs on the same sourcing instinct: light-roast espresso with a fruity clarity that knowledgeable staff will dial to your palate.

Bold Street Coffee Manchester★★ Specialty

North West indie roasting anchors the espresso and a batch brew programme that changes daily. For the city centre, it's about as considered as this gets.
