There’s no need to let a sudden shower dampen your weekend break!
1. TAKK
TAKK is one of Manchester’s best independent coffee houses, with three spots scattered throughout the city centre. Providing locals and visitors with a warm and welcoming space to work and meet, TAKK takes its inspiration from the laid-back lifestyle in Scandinavia and Iceland.
Their coffee is great, and their food is simple and delicious. If the heavens open while you’re walking around Manchester, head into your nearest TAKK and wait it out in comfort.
2. Ancoats Coffee
Tucked away in Ancoats, the gentrified neighbourhood just beyond the Northern Quarter, Ancoats Coffee was created as a place for the roastery to showcase their speciality coffee. Since its opening, the spot has become a hub for coffee enthusiasts and is a perfect choice for a steamy mug away from the hustle and bustle of a rainy city centre.
3. Idle Hands
Located on Dale Street, on the outskirts of the vibrant Northern Quarter, Idle Hands is one of our favourite spots to dive inside when the rain starts to fall. The kitchen puts out unbeatable pies and delicious brunch food, while the bar sells natural wine and craft beer alongside coffee from ever-changing roasters.
4. The Foundation Coffee House
With two spots in the city, one in the heart of the Northern Quarter and one on Whitworth Street, Foundation is quickly taking over Manchester’s speciality coffee scene.
The Northern Quarter spot is vast, and whether you’re shopping or browsing one of the city’s central galleries, you’re probably no more than ten minutes walk away. Choose your brew (if you can) from the huge menu and grab some brunch or a bake from the counter while you wait for the rain to pass.
5. Just Between Friends
The tiny spot on Tib Street boasts coffee that’s second to none in Manchester. Every dish is a work of art, so you can’t go wrong no matter what you’re in the mood for.
You might struggle to get a seat in this locals-favourite on a rainy day, but we recommend you give it a try! If it’s full to bursting, run around the corner to huge Foundation where you’re almost always guaranteed a seat.
