Koffee Pot

Whether you live in Manchester, visit regularly, or are just passing through, Koffee Pot is a Manchester institution that you absolutely must visit. Established in 1978, this is one of the few places in the city that has managed to stick around whilst many others come and go. In my opinion, it’s one of the best spots (if not the best) for a hangover brekkie and hair of the dog. Plus, they now serve tacos in the Birria Bros section from Tuesday to Saturday. Basically all the best food groups (breakfast, booze and tacos) in one venue.

They recently had a lovely little makeover so I went down to visit the revamped cafe for brunch and a few too many drinks in the afternoon.

The Food

In a city full of avocado toasts, sometimes all you want is a good full English. Koffee Pot are here for all your classic breakfast needs, including English, Irish and Scottish breakfasts. They also have veggie and vegan options, as well as breakfast sandwiches and a dedicated bennie menu. If you’re more of a sweet tooth then KP’s pancake stacks are right up your street. They do also have breakfast specials, and what I would confidently say is the best reuben sandwich in Manchester.

I genuinely struggled to decide what to have when we visited. I’ve had the English breakfast before and its just a brilliant classic thats hard to beat. However I wanted to try something else, so after an unnecessarily long debate and some help from the ever-friendly staff, I chose the reuben sandwich. Robbie chose the Big Yin (the Scottish breakfast) which I obviously tried too.

So I refer you back to my previous comment – the best reuben sandwich in Manchester. Generously filled with house cured pulled salt beef, Swiss cheese and sweet pickle relish. 10/10 sweet and salty deliciousness to cure those weekend hangovers. The Big Yin is piled high with good quality sausages and bacon, all your usual breakfast suspects, plus some Scottish additions to give the dish it’s name. Haggis, black pudding, square sausage, totty scone and a slice of fried bread. What a great meal.

The Drinks

Speaking of hangovers.. lets get into the drinks menu. Fun fact – this is where I had my first takeaway pint (in a plastic pint cup with a lid) when venues were able to open again after lockdown! Whilst Koffee Pot may seem like more of a cafe, I’d argue that it also has one of my favourite bar menus too. All the classics done very well, plus a few special treats.

I started off with a Bloody Michelada. This is one of my favourite drinks but I don’t know anywhere else in town that serves these. It’s basically a bloody mary and a beer in one. Sounds weird but its delicious, and a very quick way to rid the hangover. After our first drinks it accidentally became quite a boozy brunch. Don’t you love it when that happens?! We had some mimosas, espresso martinis and another highlight of mine – picklebacks. Koffee Pot use homemade pickle juice for these, which makes them even better than usual. I can also highly recommend the margaritas from Birria Bros too.

When Can I Go Back?

If you’ve read this far, its pretty clear how I feel about Koffee Pot. My only negative is that I don’t visit enough, which can (and definitely will) be resolved. It’s the perfect place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, drinks and tacos. What more can you want in one place? And despite the range, this is certainly not a quantity over quality situation in any way. Everything is made with love and the best quality ingredients, and the menus are really reflective of this They have a select range of dishes with variations on classics and a few specials in there too. I think you can judge a place on how well it does the classics, and Koffee Pot for me is a 10/10.

The refurb also looks great. It still feels classic KP but with a modern refresh, and the Birria Bros permanent section is a welcome addition. I do find that service can often make or break a good experience, but the staff here are what make it. Everyone is really friendly, helpful and just make sure you have a great experience.

Honestly a 12/10 experience and we already decided we need to come back asap before we left.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
