About Founder Coffee Co
Founder Coffee Co is a cafe in Manchester, on Ledson Rd, built for new founders and creatives who want a place to focus and get an early idea moving. The menu pairs coffee with fresh baps, toasties and a cinnamon bun, so a working session can come with a proper bite. Pastries and cakes fill out the rest of the range. The shop is small. It sits round the corner from the hospital, and Greggs is next door.

“Really nice coffee and the staff are great, come here instead of Greggs and support local business. Nice vibe and music in there, every time I’ve been in there. No drum and bass music played so that was a plus”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to Founder Coffee Co mainly for the coffee itself, with a cappuccino and a Twix iced latte named specifically, and several say it beats the chain next door and is worth choosing to support a local business. Close behind is the friendly service, which almost every review mentions, with one calling a barista's service impeccable. The toasties are described as delicious and great value, and the cinnamon bun and other bakes also draw praise. A few describe a nice vibe with good music, and one notes the shop is small but clean and tidy, suited to a quick stop. Its location near the hospital is called handy, and one reviewer says a proper coffee shop in Wythenshawe was long overdue. No review raises a recurring complaint, and one compares the coffee favourably with other independent specialty cafes at similar prices.
