00:00 I do love a coffee. I love coming out and having a coffee, even if I'm at home, going
00:04 out near to where I live. I love going out and having a coffee.
00:08 Manchester is home to many independent and chain coffee shops serving customers their
00:13 daily cup of joe. The Northern Quarter in the city centre has a coffee shop on every
00:17 corner and you'll also find plenty of chain costas, starbucks and caffe nero along the
00:23 city streets.
00:25 People's coffee tastes are varied and almost everyone who enjoys a caffeinated beverage
00:30 has a go to order and a go to place. We asked passers by in Manchester where they like to
00:36 get a cup of coffee in the city.
00:38 Just between friends, Northern Quarter, nothing comes close.
00:41 Just the vibe of the shop, the people are nice. Yeah, just between friends. There's
00:45 a couple that are good but I think just between friends is my favourite. Go there all the
00:50 time, religiously.
00:51 I like the milk latte, either iced if it's warm but otherwise just milk latte. Nice and
00:56 easy. It's perfect every time.
00:58 It varies the time I come and I quite often come early so I always know that Marks and
01:02 Spencer's is open and I can get a coffee there or I'll go in one of the other coffee shops
01:07 like Costa that's open or somewhere like that usually.
01:10 Lactose intolerant so I have to go somewhere where they have soya milk or oat milk or something
01:15 like that so yeah, that's always my first question, do you have another type of milk,
01:20 an alternative milk? So as long as they've got an alternative milk I'm fine, yeah.
01:24 In the city centre I don't know a lot of coffee places so I tend to go for the safest
01:27 which is, I like this McDonald's in St Antoine's Square and I sit outside and look at the views.
01:33 It's a ritual, both when we're out and me and my husband are out or when we're at home.
01:38 We have one of those posh coffee making machines so we enjoy a coffee there as well.
01:43 I tend to go to the Northern, well coffee yes, occasionally, every other visit maybe
01:49 and usually the Northern Quarter, various cafes there that serve good coffee.
01:54 I particularly like the Old Smithfield Market area, a place in there that I go to, that's
02:00 got a good atmosphere and I think the coffee's good everywhere there in that area.
02:06 Usually Americano, maybe a splash of milk occasionally but yeah, a fairly strong coffee
02:13 I prefer, my wife she normally has weak coffee so yeah.
02:18 I would say, sometimes if you've got social anxiety, something like Starbucks or Costa
02:25 Coffee, something small because there's one just before Nets of Piccadilly Gardens, Costa
02:31 Coffee, it's a small direct close, small area that you can just relax in because there's
02:37 a library right next to it so you can just be yourself, listen to music.
02:41 Or if you're out with mates I would say the Starbucks in Arndale Centre, Nets of Nets
02:47 they're pretty cheap as well because they do student discounts. I would say that's alright as well.
