Ancoats Coffee Co in Manchester

The old mill on Redhill street is beautifully refurbished and Ancoats Coffee Co held such promise with glass doors , indoor and outdoor dining space, twinkling fairy lights I chose outside in the lovely Mancunian sunshine to enjoy my cake and fresh orange drink, unfortunately this is where things start to go down hill, firstly cash is not accepted in this establishment, plastic is king, my cake looked like an appealing Madeira on its plate, I think it would have given the lovely refurbished bricks a run for their money, hard is too soft a word but not as hard as the seating, I think I am well padded in the posterior but These chairs WOW they were made of a galvanised material so to be expected but couldn’t you have invested in something soft to sit on ! One visit is enough for me. Not a

Best coffee in manchester, period! Really friendly staff as well & love that its away from the rat race yet central still.

not accepting cash. bank notes are still a valid way of payment. Saying that they are a cash free business does not make any sense.

Visited here on Saturday for coffee and cake. Our original destination was full so we decided to try Ancoats Coffee and were not disappointed. Although really busy the staff were welcoming and there was room for us all. We were able to have our bicycles close by and in the dry and we were able to sit together in a wide open space, under cover and away from busy streets. The coffee and tea were very good and there was a good selection of cakes. They are all about the coffee as their name might suggest. A great find and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I visited this shop on 9th feb 2024 i asked for a cappuccino and a LARGE latte 2 toast with jam. It was over £10 which its town its expected no problem. He then asked are we staying in or taking away. We stayed in. He then brought our coffees over to us in paper cups. This bugged me so when i asked he said its because r asked for large.. what!!! So if u get a small/medium you get the luxury of a cup.. but pay extra for a large and you get a paper takeaway cup. I certainly wont be going to this coffee shop again. Buy bigger cups and cater for the people who want a large drink.

Visited Ancoats Coffee for the first time this month, and let me tell you, I am not disappointed. The staff is very polite, professional, and welcoming. It's a very cosy place love the seats by the way, good music and a good selection of items in their menu. Truly recommended it if you want to go for a good and simple breakfasts or during the day for a snack or a regular drink.

Sort of hate leaving a positive review as it's my local cafe and know it will mean it'll only get busier. But...I love this place, drinking in or taking out every week. Great coffee, snacks and cakes. But probably why I love it so much is that all of the staff are just lovely. Being open 7 days a week means they must have a large staff rota, but every time someone serves me they're just so welcoming. P.s. I do not know anyone who works here or have a stake in the company!

Really nice coffee shop and roasters in the iconic Ancoats mills. Very enjoyable coffee, but size a little on the small side for the latte I had. Cool vibe in the mill

Ancoats Coffee Co. number one goal is to produce great coffee and that’s exactly what they do. Originally established in 2013 as a place to showcase their coffee, it’s now the perfect meeting spot for all lovers of a good roast. Based in Ancoats, you’ll find a warm coffee shop with beautiful leather armchairs, low set tables and places to hang out. We sat in the outside area which is undercover and safe from the outside elements - Manchester rain I’m looking at you. There was space to feel like we could have a talk and a laugh without intruding on those around us. We ordered two coffees which were £3ea and perfectly made. We also ordered a toastie called ‘Bahn Mi’ (£6) which had a combination of Kimchi, Tofu and some other interest ingredients. We were surprised at how good this was! The bread was super fresh and crunchy, the kimchi added a little bit of spice and it was just delicious in all ways. A surprise winner in our eyes. We also got the Biscoff Cronut (£3) and you can tell by the name that it was good. Ancoats Coffee Co is also focused on ethical and sustainable production which is a huge thumbs up from us.

In our quest to find a coffeeshop more suited to our personalities, such as quiet, friendly and discreet, we made our way into Manchester to visit Ancoats. Slightly hidden away inside another building, we entered a cavern that felt more like a warehouse than a cafe, with large pillars surrounded by sacks of coffee beans. The design of the space is good, with gorgeous, stocky wood panels and low tables mixed with high. It's always nice to have different seating options. We ordered a cappuccino, a cortado, a croissant and Pain au Chocolat. All was tasty, with the cappuccino served small, thankfully bucking the trend of bucket-sized portions you find elsewhere, and the cortado was a little watery but full of flavour. The pastries were good. All was served with a little panache, with nice cups/glasses, dishes and napkins. As the shop was quiet, and the music was low and well-chosen, we could hear ourselves talk. There were not many people around on this particular weekend morning. We were given a small sample of Ancoats Coffee Beans to take home, which is a lovely touch. I wonder why this doesn't happen more often in other coffeeshops? Unfortunately, when we asked about the best grind settings for the beans, they didn't really know. Perhaps we'd asked a part-time weekend warrior, and certainly not someone who knew a lot about coffee. Our final thoughts as we left were rather good. We look forward to returning and trying a piece of cake, and perhaps a different style of coffee. We'd also like to see what it's like when it's busier. There are smaller, more comfortable coffeeshops around, and much more knowledgeable people working in them, but Ancoats left a good impression regardless.

Very slow and unprofessional service! Was waiting for a coffee for 15 minutes without anybody in front of me! Brought one coffee and then another, not both together. The tables outside were really dirty. Will never come back!

I’m generally not one to care at all about customer service I don’t expect people to be overly nice and helpful, however the “vibe” in here was actually really uncomfortable and unfriendly and pretty awkward. When you walk into a coffee shop i at least would like to feel slightly welcome but here I just felt like I wasn’t wanted but stayed anyway as I’d already walked quite a way to get here. The coffee was pretty good small but good. The food was nice but wish there was more selection of drinks and food. The seating all seemed clean and nice just such a shame about the uncomfortable looking staff as I definitely wouldn’t return for that reason! Dog friendily it seems which is also great.

Lovely surroundings to enjoy a nice coffee in, exposed brick and structural steel beams of an old mill. Coffee selection is vast and the seating in the atrium is comfortable and relaxing.

I love this place, I really do, I try to go at least one a fortnight for a solo visit (a little me-date!) for some yummy vegan banana bread and cappuccino. I love that I can buy beans too. So many to choose from. Havent tried them Al yet! However I' am starting to get a wee bit annoyed by the loud man on the laptop. I don't know if I'm unlucky or if he is always there but he is always!! There!! When I go!! Not sure if the staff have noticed or not but I can't ignore it!!

In our Tier 3 lockdown we took our 9 week old pup to the wonderful Ancoats Coffee Co. As ever the food, the coffee and the service was fantastic. However, we can now add to this great cafe the knowledge that it is a dog friendly place to come and chill out. The team here were so welcoming.

This is a great find hidden away in Ancoats... I've been in a few times with friends or just to do a bit of work. Atmosphere is super cosy, there's always great tunes playing, and the coffee is awesome (it's roasted fresh on site). The staff are all super nice too, vibe is just generally super lovely. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that every single time I've been in (maybe I'm unlucky???) there's been this older guy talking loudly on the phone. (I'm not one to nitpick but this was 5/6 loud calls in the couple hours I was there) I ended up moving tables but it's just impossible to get away from how loud it is, I've honestly seen people leave because of him. Other then that it is a nice place for a coffee, shame about the resident atmosphere vacuum.

In Ancoats and with a spare half hour. I had always wanted to visit here! I just cant decide if this 4* or 5*. Its really 4.5! Very nice interior and plenty of room. Very distinct coffee flavour but good! An enjoyable visit but not quite 5* for me!

I've been here for work coffee meetings many months ago its a brilliant atmpsohere and very tasty unique coffee, snacks are great as well but the service is very very good, I went the other day and bought some freshly ground filter coffee to have at home, its perfect, looks good but tastes even better than I remembered it, again the service was very good. The coffee shop really is a hidden gem, social distancing measures in place are excellent, most definitly feel safe there. Best wishes to all the team throughout this period of uncertinty

Really pleasant ambiance, but what really made it was the fact that we were a group of 29 walkers who descended on the cafe, all wanting coffee and cake. Those of us at the back of the queue were resigned to a long wait. Not...

When I visit Manchester once a year I make sure I stop in for a real coffee at Ancoats Coffee Co. Coffee is just superb. This place makes real coffee and makes it properly with great care. You can really taste the beans and identify...

The staff, coffee and cakes here are absolutely lovely. The atmosphere is relaxed and it is perfect place to hide away and unwind.

My second visit to this coffee shop today. Quite an eclectic place to visit but a coffee shop has to produce good coffee. Mine was distasteful but kudos to the guy clearing the table who noticed my cup unfinished and offered to bring a replacement....

Found this place when I was on my way to watch City one day. Delectable coffee served in a spacious setting. The staff were helpful though not overly warm and their brew ratio meant the coffee was a little oversaturated by water. Great beans though...

Lovely coffee shop and just a great experience. Drinking coffee whilst staff beaver away at roasting more. Local coffee and well loved by the people of Royal Mills and Ancoats.

I have been living around the area for a while and always enjoyed the coffee prepared by them. Brownies and cakes are really good too. They have their own coffee blends and roast it on the spot, making sure the quality is always there and...

Having done a quick research online on coffee shops offering specialty coffee, especially filter coffee, in Manchester, I decided to go for Ancoats Coffee. I was particularly attracted to see their roastery, which is situated within the shop and open for public view. At the...

We came along to Kanassa Kitchen’s supper club held here on a midweek evening. House staff were really relaxed, friendly and hardworking. Perfect place for a long, boozy (BYOB) night for a 5-course tasting menu of Colombian-inspired food. Thanks guys!

Great coffee spoilt by cakes which you can get better from a local supermarket. I had an almond slice which was dry and then a brownie which lacked flavour and was dry too. If you come to a coffee shop you hope for good coffee....

Another visit to Manchester and I find myself heading back to Ancoats for their fantastic coffees. If you want a good coffee, then this is the place to go. The coffee is made by real baristas that know how to make coffee and roast their...

Lovely setting for a focused business one to one. Delicious food and drink. Lovely service with people hugely passionate about what they do. Pleasure to visit. Will be back soon.

Having read the on-line menu, we were looking forward to the promised bowl of vegetable soup and a wedge of Pollen's bread. We were disappointed. Following a lukewarm welcome, we discovered that there was no soup at all - and no Pollen's bread either! (Although...

Fabulous coffee shop located in the fabulous Royal Mills. Great trendy location and ambience with amazing coffee too. Buy some beans to take home so you can continue to enjoy

Called in for a quick drink. This is a funky coffee shop in an apartment block. It’s off the beaten track but it’s worth going to as it’s got a good feel to it unlike the chains and the coffee was really good....with creamy froth...

Popped in for coffee on a Sunday afternoon & ordered some of the sourdough toast. Very friendly female member is staff served me & brought it over to my table & she even brought over some extra milk & recommended which one of their home...

Had a meeting in Royal Mills and popped in for a coffee. Well worth a visit here. I will be coming back. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, importantly, good coffee. Puts the high street brands to shame.

Its hard to find good coffee in Manchester with so many chain coffee shops. But Ancoats makes excellent coffee and its in a fantastic venue - a renovated old Mill. Its a little out of the way, you need to walk into the Mill entrance...

Variety of great vegan cakes/food and an oat milk flat white at prices which aren't taking the mick. I go all the time.

Lovely caramel shortbread but the hot chocolate was absolutely awful... I asked them to remake it and it was still vile. Won't be returning.

Coffee has a really strong sour taste and they serve it in these little thimble style cups. I think coffee lovers might think different but I wasnt a fan. Nice setting though and was worth a visit.

I loved the atmosphere , My black Coffee was great The chocolate sweet was delicious I will try the sandwiches next time You can buy roasted Coffee Some equipments as well Highly recommended

We had loose leaf tea, an espresso and a slice of brownie. Tea and cake was delicious but the coffee was a bit sour. I appreciated that they made me a cappuccino and another cup of espresso to try. Beautiful place

We called here today for a quick pit stop. We were not disappointed, the coffee today was rich and deep with a hint of chocolate. We were informed it was Rwandan. Great coffee in a nice friendly atmospheric old building.

Amo questo posto, vengo almeno una volta alla settimana nonostante non sia una fan del caffè. Per chi come me...

Really enjoyed visiting this place. It's located in an old mill in Ancoats, a spacious and interesting setting. It's obvious that the people running the place really love coffee. The coffee is very expertly made, and they also have a good selection of fresh coffee and...

Wonderful coffee house. Good snacks and the location in an old mill is beautiful. Outside is a courtyard between mills that is enclosed with a glass roof, which allows a street cafe feel even when the rain falls. The final bonus at the start of...

This is a great space to relax work, chat, meet, chill, located in Royal Mill in Ancoats, it is a coffee shop that takes coffee seriously but not themselves. The coffee is good, well selected and the accompanying food and cakes are all homemade and...

I'm very new to the world of pour over coffee, however the staff were quick to offer some recommendations, all of which tasted very nice. Plus the owner stayed to chat with us a lot about the whole process which I found fascinating. All in...

Staff are so friendly and will recommend why to try if you are paralysed by indecision. Not snobbish at all, really down to earth. Location is great, in an old listed building with plenty of character. And of course, the coffee is spot on.

hidden away in the walls of a secret mill this is a real trendy little hipster joint the staff all look like they should work in style mill -very hipster very new england chic coffee is small but LUXURIOUS absolutely free water and wondrous cakes...

Visited ancoats coffee co today. Beautiful coffee shop with wonderful staff. Every drink is clearly made with love, care and attention to detail. I ordered the hot chocolate which was nice but in all honesty I've had better. I felt it was very bland in...

A nice and relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and spacious. Very clean, nice coffee and bespoke sugary treats! Very child friendly and lots of space for prams.

A great coffee shop hidden away in the Royal Mills. Has wifi and always seems to be thriving. Coffee tastes great too.

Went to have a look at the Craft Market (1st Sat in the month) in the auditorium of the mill, and found this fantastic coffee shop! They roast their own coffee, and it's very very good. And the cakes aren't bad either. I was treated...

So I thought I would try Ancoats Coffee Co as I walk past it every day on my way to work. The lovely barrister was friendly and cheerful for 8am which was a nice feeling. I ordered a Black Coffee to go which costed £2.20....

Great relaxed coffee house hidden away in the Royal Mill Ancoats just a few minutes walk from Manchesters Northern Quarter. Excellent coffee and cake.

Just popped in for a coffee as we only live round the corner and have been meaning to for a while. Ended up leaving with free football tickets!! Coffee was very nice (a long black & a cold brew), will come back 😀

Pour overs, Aeropress...you name it, they do it. If you love great coffee then check this place out. Food is actually very impressive too, but be warned - they do sell out fast!

We arrived around 4pm on the friday of gay pride in Manchester expecting to have a bit of a waiting due to the influx of people into the city centre. However we were wrong our rooms were ready when we arrived and as some of...

Ancoats Coffee is quite simply some of the best coffee I've had - anywhere. My flat white was perfect. The baristas were friendly and the whole place had a laid back vibe. I enjoyed my first coffee so much that I ordered another to take...

Coffee was good but served in tiny cups and took ages. Had a leak and potato pie, okay but mass produced and served in a silly bowl that made it difficult to cut. Lovely building.probably wouldn't go again, as a bit out of the way...

I've wanted to check this place out now for Months and really glad we finally made it there. Such a cute, cosy little place. Nice, friendly atmosphere. Child Friendly and clean facilities. It was a very hot day so I only had a can of...

The building is beautiful a lovely example of a restored mill.Inside they have used the industrial features to good effect. The coffee is superb and the food is excellent. Service is very friendly and professional.

Dave the dachshund loved his trip to Ancoats Coffee Co. Good coffee friendly staff great building and dog friendly

This is a modern, trendy cafe in an up and coming part of Manchester city centre. It is housed in an old refurbished mill and has a rustic yet welcoming feel to it. It is reasonably priced and the lunch snack I got was very...

Visited Ancoats Coffee company with friends and colleagues. Lunch was great and very tasty (morrocan chicken pitta) would recommend. It was difficult to choose as all the lunch options sounded delicious I opted for a coffee though not a regular coffee drinker. Staff were friendly...

I have visited this roastery cafe on several occasions and it's the only place I can drink a latte without sugar! Bitter it is not! The guys really know their stuff, they offer a good range of coffees that are roasted on site and which...

Love the castlefield market so as soon as heard they moved to the Royal mills could not wait to go. Loved the setting and market was fantastic (worth a trip) but to be honest the coffee two soya lattes £6.40 small, tepid coffee was below...

Heard about this place from a friend who is a regular so we met them there for a coffee on Saturday lunchtime. First impressions were very impressive, lovely setting in an old mill by the canal in ancoats Staff were friendly and pleasant I ordered...

I was really excited to discover this place. It's tucked away so it's not that obvious from the street. I love the industrial style. It's almost a bit like a bar. The staff were really helpful too.

We come in here lots and the coffee is amazing, the building is beautiful and the staff are so nice and friendly - this is a great place!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. We went for a coffee tasting. I loved the experience. A very relaxing place serving fresh, high standard coffee. We look forward to coming back. Thanks Jamie and all staff

Working right next door to this place its hard not to be enticed in by the smell of coffee and food. Jaie, Manni and Eiger are fabulous and so are other members of staff. Jamie will be the first to tell you I am not...

I've only just discovered the place and have been in twice and both times the soup was delicious. A decent portion with fresh crusty bread all homemade. The decor inside is lovely making really good use of the exposed brickwork. It gives you a feel...

I went on a Thursday lunchtime with my daughter, it was reasonably but not overly busy. The staff were very friendly, pleasant and enthusiastic and the setting is lovely. I suspect it will be nicer still during the brighter months because of the glass covered...

Made it our destination on a cold, rainy, Saturday morning. The space was great and selection of coffees were enough to warm us from the cold. The service was friendly... we even got to try a new sample of a cold brew. Delish. Thinking of...

We have been back several times now to have gorgeous coffee and delightful food! The cafe is stunningly decorated, spacious and friendly!!

One of THE best places for coffee in Manchester with a stunning setting in Royal Mills, will sure be a regular haunt of min now that I've found it

What a hidden gem. Look for this place, it's well worth it. Parking for 40 minutes streetwise was 40p. Popped in for a quick coffee and a light snack. Loved it almost immediately. The ambience, the lighting, temperature was all perfect. The menu was simple...

This place is slightly off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Coffee is roasted on site and staff are really pleased to show you around. These guys are clearly coffee geeks but they reward you with an outstanding drink. Make the effort to...

Brilliant spot for coffee. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about their product, the coffee is unbeatable and the lunch snacks great. Top place to come and work during the day, good tunes on the stereo too.
