    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.

    My son lives in Manchester and rates this coffee shop in his top 3 in the City. Very popular for takeaway coffees. We had a coffee at 9.45am and I would have prefered to have seen a larger selection of breakfast food like croissants and Danish pastries. Seating is limited especially with 2 guys working on their laptops, one of them in a Zoom or Teams meeting. Shop Management needs to review this as potential customers could walk away seeing the seating occupied unnecessary imo.

    Possibly the best coffee in Manchester. I always grab a cup on my way past and a bag of beans to take home. The mancoco blend is highly recommended

    One of the best specialty coffee places I’ve been to. The coffee beans are freshly grounded and it smells like heaven in there. Note that the cafe is a bit hard to find even if you follow google maps. Just stand in front of INNSIDE building and look to your left. The only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is because the cafe is really small and does not fit more than 4 tables. I wish they would expand the area to fit more customers.

    I usually come and go to manchester since 2015. It was one of my many struggles to find a decent specility coffee cafe. Of late, some cafe showed up to do such task. But this cafe is a rare breed to be honest. I visited this June, and from the first sip of their flat white ( My forever go to coffee ), I was hooked. I was so hooked that in my 10 day trip I completed my loyalty card twice 😂 Not mentioning my missus, even my handy man got a taste of it after I insisted 😋 Try their flat white and latte, but if you fancy less milky coffee, so do roast their own coffee or even roast a bean bag for you. Or if you’d like, have a sip at their little cosy under the bridge cafe opposite to home. I was lucky to reside nearby, and I will be more lucky because I am coming next month to have another go at it. Much love and appreciation to those in charge, Abdul.

    Oh, Mancoco Ltd cafe and roasting in Manchester was such a delight! Their coffee was top-notch, and the aroma of freshly roasted beans filled the air. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. I couldn't resist trying some of their scrumptious pastries too, and they didn't disappoint. Definitely a must-visit spot for coffee lovers! ☕️👌

    Great coffee shop, quite and calm, good place to study or doing your work their, I ordered espresso and v60 it was great, also I bought beans from the so I can enjoy my coffee at home as well 😁

  • 5/5 Life E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of coffee beans, beverages and drinks available. My partner loves the coffee beans to buy and thoroughly enjoys the notes, especially from the Africa region. Probably one of the best mocha I've had ever from here, although I do recommend hot chocolate and the other coffee based drinks!

  • 5/5 Saad 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing cafe, been there about a dozen times and every time the coffee is great and staff are friendly. Love the new layout of the place.

  • 5/5 David N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee. I stock up every time I'm across that way in Manchester.

  • 3/5 UnHoly 1 year ago on Google
    They make good, but not excellent coffee. Their coffee comes out flatter than I like, and I suspect that's because of underdevelopment in the roasting process. Might explain the strong hay smell when you pass by, but I'm not an expert.

  • 5/5 Connor van H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent coffee served in a cozy atmosphere. The cafe is a bit tucked away, but that adds to the vibe, and so do the trains that can be heard passing overhead. My only problem was that the WiFi wasn’t working on my visit, but otherwise I had a really nice coffee and enjoyed talking to the baristas a bit. I would recommend this place to anyone who is serious about coffee, be it for a pack of beans to grind yourself, or just for your daily fix.

  • 5/5 Abdullah fahad A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's ok the coffee is really specialized I tried the v60 it's really delicious as I expected and also the espresso was fine for me I recommend it

  • 5/5 Alan N. 1 year ago on Google
    I buy the Espresso Blend beans by post from Mancoco. Super fresh and speedy delivery. They have become my go to for a wonderful cappuccino or flat white.

  • 5/5 Marco P. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent coffee. Very tasty, good quality, friendly staff. Thank you guys

  • 5/5 Adams_coffee 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool roastary and good coffee in central Manchester. Check it out

  • 5/5 Isaac S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee in Manchester, reasonable, very relaxed atmosphere. Not the kind of place people sit on laptops for hours, either takeaway or drink a coffee with a friend or two. The beans are well priced and the best I've managed to find in Manchester. Really nice staff, overall would give it a higher rating if I could.

  • 5/5 Coffee Diff (. 5 years ago on Google
    Great fresh coffee. Roasted on site. Multiple beans offered, including single origin. Nice place for stay in or coffee to go. It has seats to stay in, but somewhat small inside (15-20 people max?). Still, it's cosy under the bridge, you can hear the train passing by above. Friendly staff. Various extraction methods are offered and selection of fresh beans, roasted on site. In my opinion, the main attraction is coffee, but the shop also offers savoury snacks and cakes. Somewhat difficult to find, please check the map and pictures attached. 2 min walk from Deansgate tram stop.

  • 5/5 Keith M. 5 years ago on Google
    My new go-to for coffee and general relax spot in Manchester. Great location near the Deansgate Transpennie. I had a small latte followed by a mocha to-go and they were both excellent. Don’t leave without trying the carrot cake too. The staff was very friendly and proficient at their trade. Prices were fair (I would say even on the low side - definitely less than Starbucks). They have a good selection of in-house roast as well from blends to single origin. Looking forward to coming back.

  • 5/5 Craig J. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent cafe and roastery. They've a few spaces inside to sit, but I've generally been for takeaway or to buy beans for use at home. They do some excellent espresso and filter coffees. Check out their website, but some nice dark Brazilian beans through to fruity Ethiopians/Kenyans. Friendly staff too.

  • 4/5 D L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good coffee, nice staff, haven't really tried enough of the coffee to go over 4 stars, it all seems to be on reasonable price aswell.

  • 5/5 Julia Z. 7 months ago on Google
    A little gem a bit off the main road! The staff was lovely and the service - super quick. The coffee was good and tasted even better combined with what's probably the best croissants I have had in the area to date. Besides your usual coffee/pasty combo, Mancoco also offers a nice selection of speciality coffee beans to buy by weight. I went for the acidic China Kaku - would thoroughly reccommend.

  • 5/5 Áine S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Always love coming here to get freshly my roasted beans straight from the roaster!

  • 5/5 Neil C. 4 months ago on Google
    I had a cake and a flat white. Coffee is cheaper than some of the usual well known coffee shops and better in my opinion. Hidden away under arches close to Deansgate railway station. Next door to the coffee shop they grind their own coffee beans.The aroma from there is fantastic. Well worth a visit and it's good to support our own independent coffee shops.

  • 5/5 bre 4 months ago on Google
    i prefer to find local coffee shops everywhere i go - super happy i found this gem while staying in Manchester! really great, fresh coffee! i had an oat milk latte & their almond croissant - both were deliciousss

  • 5/5 Ava F. 3 months ago on Google New
    Mancoco Coffee Bar & Roastery exceeded expectations with their exceptional coffee. The rich flavors and expertly crafted brew made for a delightful experience. A must-visit for coffee enthusiasts!

  • 5/5 fatemah h. 7 months ago on Google
    High quality coffee! You can notice how freshly made is it! 🤍 you must try it if you are a coffee lover in Manchester

  • 5/5 Philip S. 6 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Bradford T. 7 months ago on Google
    Good coffee, I mean really good coffee is so hard to find in the UK. Fortunately, there are places like Mancoco, hidden away around the country that break the rules and do amazing coffee. Do yourself a weekend favour and drop in for the relaxed atmosphere, funky tunes, and amazing coffee beautifully made.

  • 5/5 Samuel P. 7 months ago on Google
    We dropped by for a cappuccino and coconut cappuccino and expectations were high - it delivered! Rarely can anybody whip up the coconut milk and the coffee itself is very smooth Chilled atmosphere, even if it is clearly a place of work for many

  • 5/5 emily v. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite coffee place in all of Manchester - good quality coffee roasted on site. The aroma when you go past is intoxicating. So glad they’ve expanded their seating area as now I can sit in and it’s a really relaxing space too!

  • 5/5 Cristian N. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place and quite calm. I got a flat white which was quite nice. Prices are quite good too as conventional coffees are below 3quid. The service is very good and the place/ atmosphere is the best of any cafe in Manchester.

  • 5/5 Colin 9 months ago on Google
    Whilst I haven't been in yet, one of your employees Elliot is a great ambassador for the brand. His passion for coffee has tipped even an energy drink aficionado like myself to try an iced long black. Me and my girlfriend will be visiting soon!

  • 5/5 Norah 1 year ago on Google
    It was amazing place, I’ve tried (Cortado, long black, flat white) 100%, very delicious. Highly recommend. It serves whom live around there. Specialist coffee.

  • 4/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cafe and location, friendly staff. Coffee could have been better as it tasted more of milk than coffee. Will be back though if passing by as I feel like that may have been a one off judging by the other reviews.

  • 5/5 Niall G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to load up on delicious locally roasted coffee beans for use at home. Filter and batch brew options are great for drinking in their cosy cafe underneath the railway arches (I’d skip the lattes and cappuccinos and focus on the coffee!).

  • 5/5 Tony C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, been visiting for 3-4 years now and always buy my beans from here. The quality of the espresso has dropped a little since the new team started, had some very variable results, but nothing that can't be fixed! I'll be sure to raise it when I get a poor pull.

    Rarely can you go to a coffee shop and see them roasting and grinding the beans from scratch, it's such an industrial yet cosy atmosphere with the best cup coffee in manchester centre ☕💙⚙

    Great location and setup. Drink in or take away. Excellent coffee. Good range of beans to buy bagged up, as is, or ground to your liking.

  • 5/5 Gurpal S. 3 years ago on Google
    Quality local roastery with quality coffee! Highly recommend. Top Tip: The entrance is on Hewitt Street under the arches and not on the vacant land as shown on google maps if you're using directions!

  • 4/5 David H. 3 years ago on Google
    very basic coffee shop but it’s no exaggeration to say the coffee is superb.

  • 4/5 Pedro M B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty coffee and a lot of different options. Great for a coffee geek. Location is a bit out of the way and noisy due to the roastery and trains above.

  • 5/5 Adnan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Been there and I’m astonished of how this coffee is good!

  • 5/5 James B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 3 years ago on Google
    Second time ordering coffee from here on-line, first time was excellent!!! This time had an issue with the courier and I have just had a small complementary bag dropped off at my home to see me through until it is resolved. Cannot fault that for customer service and will continue to use this service. And again, the coffee beans are excellent and well priced!!! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Abu S. 4 years ago on Google
    Man coco is the best coffee house I have visited. The coffee is pure, strong and full of flavour. Myself, family and friends are real coffee lovers and have never experienced such a rich tasting coffee. Thanks

  • 5/5 Jake 4 years ago on Google
    Nice latte.

  • 5/5 Ed H. 4 years ago on Google
    Walked past it purely by chance on my way to Starbucks so decided to try something different. Incredibly glad I did- both staff members I spoke to we're absolutely lovely, the coffee was great and granola perfect, and it was less than a fiver for both! I'll be back again for sure ♥️

  • 5/5 Jessica P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Maher A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent and honestly recommend it 👍 (Original) ممتازة وانصح بها بكل صراحة 👍

  • 5/5 MG B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a hidden gem of Manchester. They roast coffee right there and know how to guide you towards what you might like best. You can also buy it to prepare home. Of course, it is very small so, if you go in a group, better raise another site. (Original) Es un hidden gem de manchester. Tuestan allí mismo el café y saben guiarte hacia lo que puede gustarte más. Además puedes comprarlo para preparen casa. Eso sí, es muuuuyyy pequeño así que, sí vas en grupo, mejor plantear otro sitio.
