A specialty coffee roastery and café serving expertly brewed coffee in one of Manchester’s most atmospheric industrial spaces.
Where is it?

What you’ll find
Ancoats Coffee Co. is serious about coffee, and it shows in every cup. Housed in a striking red-brick mill, the café roasts all of its beans in-house, focusing on single-origin coffees and small-batch blends that celebrate the unique profile of each origin.
Step inside and you’ll find the space buzzing with locals, freelancers and creatives, people who know that this is one of the best spots in the city for a proper brew. Whether you’re into filter, flat whites, cold brew or espresso, each drink is crafted with care, precision and respect for the bean.
The setting feels like a love letter to Manchester’s industrial roots: high ceilings, exposed brickwork, polished concrete floors and natural light flooding in through warehouse windows. It’s a relaxed, design-led space where the coffee is as considered as the interiors.
There’s also a small but tempting food offering, think pastries, cakes and brunchy bites that pair perfectly with your drink of choice. If you’re staying at Native Manchester or just exploring the Ancoats area, it’s well worth a visit.
