The wave of new hipster caf\u00e9 culture is now firmly established in the UK, meaning caf\u00e9s everywhere are breaking away from the norm to offer customers something a little bit different. Manchester\u2019s cafes are no different, and whether it\u2019s contemporary art, food offerings based solely on breakfast cereals or a unique pricing system, these are the\u00a0best cafes in Manchester to hang out at!<\/p>\n
Situated in the arty Northern Quarter, Black Milk boasts a menu comprised solely of their freakshakes, cereal cocktails, loaded waffles and other sweet treats (along with normal teas and coffees for when you can\u2019t risk a heart attack). The shakes and desserts available here are like something you\u2019d see on one of those \u2018Good Tasty\u2019 meme videos, I mean who is going to say no to a Kinder Bueno and Nutella Sundae? Or how about you try the OM NOM NOM which features Krave, Cookie Crisp and Coco Rocks cereals beneath chocolate brownie and Oreos all covered in liquid molten chocolate and chocolate milk? Warning: May cause public display of pleasure.<\/p>\n
Again situated in the Northern Quarter (you might see a pattern emerge), Federal is a really unique caf\u00e9 due to its roots in both Australia and New Zealand. These influences come through strongly in the passionate stance they have on all things brunch related and the laid-back yet effortlessly cool interior with distressed parquet wood paneling. Their menu changes monthly so there\u2019s always a new influx of delicious things, but a few of their permanent staples are the French toast with berry compote and salted caramel (you will not want to share that in any way, no matter how much you love the person sitting opposite you), the halloumi & shrooms on sourdough and the chorizo ciabatta served with manchego and caramelised onions. Not only is the food really unique, but the coffee is phenomenal. Federal uses special roasts from Ozone Coffee, meaning you won\u2019t just end up with your average latte. This is definitely one of the\u00a0best cafes in Manchester!<\/p>\n
There are no two ways about it, Foundation Coffee House is just a really cool caf\u00e9. The building it\u2019s situated in is a refurbed industrial space and little nods here and there from the concrete floor and white tiled walls reveal it. The menu contains everything you\u2019d ever want whilst at the same time offers you things you didn\u2019t realised you wanted. Ice cream cakes, cheese boards and salmon sandwiches are available alongside more familiar brunch items like smashed avocado on sourdough or fresh pastries. Foundation really comes into its own with their selection and breadth of hot drinks, with 21 coffees and 17 teas on the menu you can really tailor your order to what you\u2019re in the mood for. Their white hot chocolate is what dreams are made of, you\u2019ll just wish they serve them in pint glasses instead of the funky little mugs.<\/p>\n
The Koffee Pot is many things to many people, but it\u2019s best described as a lively caf\u00e9 and bar that serves hearty no-nonsense food and hosts one of Manchester\u2019s most popular happy hours every night of the week. Their fry-ups have been officially voted the best breakfast in Manchester (THE best hangover cure you\u2019re going to find), and their New York style Reuben on sourdough is one of the biggest sarnies you\u2019ll find. If you\u2019re in the mood for something sweet, they can sort you out there with their buttermilk pancakes that you can heap with smoked bacon. Afterward, if you\u2019re not full to bursting you can literally pop next door to Black Milk for that freakshake you clocked through the window earlier\u2026<\/p>\n
Ziferblat has to be experienced in order to be understood. It is a fantastic and unique caf\u00e9 concept; they offer 43 kinds of tea, a special blend of coffee, board games, comfy sofas, beautiful cakes and pastries, office space, incredibly fast wifi and they love dogs. Best of all? Everything is free except the time that you spend. For 8 pence per minute you can relax and indulge in the aforementioned offerings, Ziferblat encourages you to enjoy yourself as if you were in your own home. If you want to spend the entire day at Ziferblat, they cap the charge at 4 hour\u2019s worth of time, leaving you free to eat, drink and relax to your heart\u2019s content. It really is as simple as that, but to really appreciate it you\u2019ve just got to visit it!<\/p>\n
Crazy cat people, our time has come. There is finally space where you can enjoy everything a good caf\u00e9 has to offer AND be surrounded by 15 adorable felines. Cat Caf\u00e9 firmly advocates (rightly so) that contact with animals can be a soothing way to reduce stress, and you are encouraged to interact with the cats in a way that is relaxing for both parties. You pay \u00a312 per hour and for that, you get an hour of \u2018cat time\u2019 and unlimited hot and cold drinks. Pricey but so worth it! This is definitely one of the\u00a0best cafes in Manchester!<\/p>\n
