Quick info
About Bold Street Coffee Manchester
Bold Street Coffee Manchester is a speciality coffee shop on Cross St in Manchester, the city branch of the Liverpool coffee shop of the same name. Breakfast here centres on the "buoys", served alongside egg boxes, and the kitchen runs breakfast, brunch and lunch menus. On the coffee side, a House blend sits next to changing Guest blends, which go into espresso drinks and a Mocha. Batch Brew, teas and iced drinks are there for anyone who wants something other than espresso. Plant-based eaters are covered too, with vegetarian and vegan options across the food menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the mocha, with its chocolate flavour coming through without being too sweet, though one notes the cup was smaller than usual. Breakfast sits close behind: a chicken and egg bagel described as fresh and generously filled, a full english with black pudding one diner calls the best in a long time, and the sausage and egg buoys. Flat whites and cappuccinos draw praise too, along with latte art, and baristas who talk knowledgeably about the beans and sourcing and recommend beans to take home. Staff come up in nearly every review as friendly and welcoming, service is called quick, and there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, plus a counter along the window for people watching. One reviewer wishes for a larger selection of baked items. A rewards scheme gives a free coffee after a few purchases, and one regular recalls smiling as a staff member sang along to Man in the Mirror.

“This place never ever disappoints me. When I’m in Manchester I’ll always pop in because the coffee and the food is epic. And the service and the vibes are spot on too. I sat and enjoyed my flat white and my sausage buoy and had to smile as Nathan sang along to MJ’s Man in the Mirror. So get yourself along to BSC because life is too short for crap coffee and non-singing Nathan’s.”

“Fantastic breakfast spot! We ordered the chicken and egg bagel, and it was packed with flavour. The bagel was fresh, the fillings were generous, and everything tasted high quality.”

“Bold Street Coffee truly feels like one of those places you randomly walk into and end up not wanting to leave. The space is effortlessly cool with that perfect indie, lived-in vibe that just makes everything feel a little softer and more special. Yasmin was an absolute angel, she recommended the egg buoy and it was so tasty!!!! She was so kind, warm and attentive in a way that makes you feel instantly comfortable, but also the whole team had this really beautiful energy, welcoming, genuine, and just lovely to be around. And I have to say, I’m still thinking about the staff member with the blue socks… super cool. Everything came out quickly, everything tasted amazing, and the whole experience felt like a little moment you’d want to keep. Definitely one of those places I’ll keep coming back to 💌”
