The team at ConfidentialGuides.com have chosen 28 of the best independent coffee shops in Manchester for this list but it could have been double that. Like the bee symbol and bad art of Manchester indie bands, good coffee is everywhere in this city. If Lowry was to paint Going to Work in 2024, it’d be crowds of baristas rather than factory workers heading off for the early shift. And they’d all be drinking batch brew on their way in.

All the Manchester coffee shops listed below are independent rather than multinational (though some are so successful they’ve got their own mini-chain going on in the local area). Nobody sets up a coffee shop without a real love of the bean and a desire to create a place where people want to spend time, so you can expect both at all of these. If you’re looking for recommended places for coffee in Manchester, take your pick.
