Cake and caffeine hits: Embankment Cafe Co. arrives in Manchester

Looking for a new spot for your caffeine pick-me-up? Embankment Cafe Co. is a new addition to the city that’ll have you covered and then some.

Combining premium specialty coffees with delicious pastries and other indulgent cafe fare, the new spot has opened in the heart of Manchester’s up-and-coming Embankment West neighbourhood, next door to the luxury CitySuites Aparthotels.

Formerly the location of Manchester Exchange railway station, that served major cities in the north and London from 1884 and 1969, the cafe pays homage to the historic travel hub. Train platform signage, exposed ceilings and industrial interior meets contemporary art and slouchy sofas complete with blankets, while an outdoor seating area will no doubt prove popular in the warmer months.

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to set up shop and work for the day, or want to grab a coffee from the dedicated takeout hatch on the go, the team has you covered.

In line with Embankment’s commitment to the planet, all coffee used is Rainforest alliance approved and all suppliers have had their eco-friendly and sustainability commitments evaluated.

Embankment Cafe Co. is open Mon-Fri (7am-7pm), Sat (9am-5pm), and Sun (10am-5pm). Visit their website for more details.
