Mancoco Ltd

Great speciality coffee shop & roastery tucked away in a railway arch next to Deansgate Metrolink. Serving delicious coffee, teas, pastries and sandwiches. Relaxing decor in an interesting setting. Coffee prepared & served by professional baristas. Don't forget to take away some freshly roasted coffee beans from the roastery nextdoor. The smell alone is worth the visit. Not into coffee then by from an expensive range of loose tea.

Independent coffee roasters with a coffee shop located under a railway arch near the canal, Castlefield. The place is very small but bright. It offers three tables for four persons and a bar table for three. The interior is done in an industrial style, which compliments the location and the city's heritage. Left side of ManCoCo is a designated roastery space, while the right side is made as a coffee shop. Some reviews are saying that it is a great place to work, but I did not see it that way. The working space would be pretty small, because it is located under a railway arch there is a loud noise of passing trains every couple of minutes, plus the coffee roasting equipment is creating a constant hum. The place does not have air conditioning, so it gets very hot on a warm day. Another drawback of the coffee shop is that to get to the counter you have to climb a couple of stairs, which makes does make it accessible by a wheelchair. The barista was very friendly, prepared my order of a flat white with a short bread very quickly. He also provided me with the list of their coffee beans to takeaway after I had asked for one. I ordered two different blends and they were ready five minutes later. The flat white I ordered was very good. It might be a rare place that actually makes it from two espresso shots. Ideal for mornings or a midday boost. They also offer a large variety of other coffee based drinks. The salted caramel shortbread was also great. However, overall, the selection of bakes and cakes is limited. For the quality of the coffee, the prices are surprising as they are slightly cheaper than the Manchester average. Aside from coffee beans, ManCoCo is also selling a large selection of coffee brewing equipment. Overall, I would say that ManCoCo is great place to get you freshly roasted beans or a takeaway coffee in Manchester. However, I do not think it is a great place for sitting in, especially for work or reading.
