    Aero Press coffee!
    Matt F.

    Crikey what a spot this is! Spent a good chunk of my morning here without even planning to. Set in the the old Royal Mill, so easily missable unless you've planned to head there in advance. Luckily for me I have this really handy app that I use everyday to plot my next adventure, said app directed me to a coffee shop in Ancoats that I had never visited before and one that was rated 5 stars by some fellow users of said app. Basically, I needed a coffee, pulled out Yelp, found Ancoats Coffee Co, mapped out directions and headed there. The interior is fantastic and it has a really nice layout. It wasn't too busy when I got there which gave me full range of seating, comfortable enough to sit for a while and work but not over cosy so that I'd get sleepy (happens a lot to me). The barista on top was absolutely top drawer and for both my drinks I went on his recommendations. First off was the AeroPress coffee - so so smooth and easy to drink, but boy was it strong! Next up he recommended flipping the script and opting for an espresso and piccolo (my favourite) but with the same coffee bean as the AeroPress one to taste the different end of the spectrum - as you can tell this guy was bloody good at what he does! All in all a simply brilliant morning spent in my new favourite coffee spot!

    Really pleased I made the 5 minute effort to walk slightly further out of the NQ and hit this place, just right next door to the old central retail park which is earmarked (with good reason) to be knocked down soon. Set in a lovely old mill, they refine and pack their own coffee here (supplying loads of places around town) whilst also having a quality coffee shop onsite with loads of room to sit. The coffee is super powered - I had a few yesterday in between meetings and was flying for the rest of the day, they also do sweet treats and although I didn't try the lunch menu, it looked pretty impressive and nice and snacky. This place may just become a regular haunt - very cool.

    This has gotta be the best new coffee shop in town! I don't know where to start! Located in Ancoats, tucked away on the ground floor of Royal Mills, well worth the little walk to get there. Inside is clean, minimalist yet funky. I consider myself a coffee lover, but these guys live, breath and eat coffee, hence roast their own beans on site on a daily basis, which are shipped out wholesale across Manchester. For coffee with passion and superior taste, you have arrived!!! Ask what the items mean on the menu and you will understand what I mean. I asked what a split was? And although I received an explanation my face must have looked puzzled, so Manny (the amazing owner) asked me a few questions about my tastes and then said, 'OK we got it, leave it with me'... and indeed I did... Mmmmm Upon finishing the coffee and delicious cake, I asked Manny what the coffee was in the caraf type receptacle. He gave some interesting description of a filter type process for the coffee, served in a wine glass because people instinctively then swirl the liquid, smell, and sip, just this happens to be coffee and not wine... continuing his explanation he stated the different tones you get over the front and back of your tongue... Hmmmm this seems a great place for a yelp event with so much culture, understanding passion and love for his coffee... it is Valentines day after all...

    One for the coffee connoisseur! these guys really care about the beans they are serving - so much so that you might have to be patient for your coffee to arrive! Set inside an old mill and office building, the decor is as you'd expect for that style. I thought it was quite dark, we came here to work but I think this is more a coffee shop to go to if you want to sit back and relax with a good book. The reason I say this is there's a severe lack of plugs. My laptop ran out of juice and I hunted round for a power point to no avail. The seating wasn't the most comfortable either. I suppose this place is trying and succeeding to be really great at coffee, so the seating arrangements and working environment are secondary. Sure, you can't win 'em all. The smell of roasting coffee beans is incredible - I like the rustic vibe of the place. Behind where we were sitting they were busy pouring beans from sacks - it felt like we were at the heart of it. In summary - If you're a coffee fan make sure you pay this place a visit. If you want a practical place to sit down for a few hours and work then head somewhere else!

    Evelyns is a place where I always saw it online and recommended but never got around to going. Im…read morenot sure why because I'm always in that area. One Sunday I went up as I could get there for opening time and decided to cross it off my list. When I got there it was already open so that was a little confusing ... but it was RAMMED. Luckily, I was going on my own so could easily be sat at the window, which was a great view, and easily got served. So many people came in after me and couldn't be seated without a reservation. But the host was very lovely and gracious and people understood. Food wise I went for the shakshuka, it sounded nice, and it really was ... it was also EXTREMELY hot because it was served in cast iron and kept its heat. It was delicious. The toast was crispy, the tomatoes were tasty, chickpeas were crunchy and a nice addition, The added sausage was very delicious, the eggs were good although I would have preferred if they had some runny yolk but its almost impossible to get that with baked eggs. Server was lovely, staff were great, absolutely need to return here when I can.

    Based on the constant recommendations for this place I was really looking forward to going and I…read morehave to say I was disappointed. The decor of the place itself was gorgeous. No comments on that. However, the host, who was also our waiter, was nice but we felt extremely rushed for our breakfast. He gave almost no time for us to decide on what we wanted to eat and seemed keen on getting us in and out and soon as possible even though we were one of two groups there. Like I said, he was nice and stuff but we felt really really rushed. Every time he would finish speaking to us, he would go over and speak with some guy sitting with a computer. So we think the rushing had something to do with him wanting to speak with whoever that was. The latte we got was delicious. The food was okay. Both our dishes came out warm or borderline cold. I asked for mine to be reheated and they agreed no problem, but when it came back, it was exact same temperature. I just gave up and said it was fine. The taste itself was okay. Definitely needed more flavor. Oh and why were both our dishes SWIMMING in chili oil?? I know the dishes said chili oil was part of the dish but I wasn't expecting chili oil soup with a side of steak and eggs basically. Idk if it was a presentation thing or a flavor thing.. either way it was just too much. just kept getting all over everything and one napkin is definitely not enough to handle all of that lol. I'd come back, but definitely not order what I ordered again.
