What coffee costs in Manchester
A coffee in Manchester is priced by the building more than by the beans. A café in a glass-roofed arcade off Deansgate pays for its rent and its footfall in the menu price, while a roastery café that buys green coffee and roasts it on site has one fewer supplier to pay. No independent survey of Manchester coffee prices could be found, so this directory will record what each shop charges once the prices have been checked.
