Quick info
About Factory Coffee MCR
Factory Coffee MCR is a coffee shop on King Street West, set inside the Dooley & Rostron gentlemen's outfitters and tailors store. The matcha menu runs on a numbered system, from No. 27 to No. 88, each with its own flavor profile, and unsweetened versions sit alongside the sweetened ones. Coffee options extend to a Freddo Espresso, with soya and oat milk available for lattes. Banana bread and cakes round out the food, and bags of freshly roasted beans are sold for home brewing. Seating is limited to two bar stools indoors, with additional seats outside. Service runs on a walk-in basis, and merchandise is also sold at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The caveats centre on matcha. Several note the high price, and one says the range did not justify it, finding No. 88 and No. 32 hard to tell apart and both the iced and hot lattes diluted and flat, with milk overpowering the matcha. Another found clumps remaining after thorough stirring. Seating is limited to two indoor bar stools plus some outdoor seating, and one reviewer says service is friendly but not super quick.

“Great coffee and tasty food at a reasonable price. The cappuccino and flat white were both well made with rich flavour and smooth milk, and the banana bread was fresh and delicious. The quality is definitely there. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and you can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve.”

“This cafe serves the best quality matcha in Manchester, though it’s at the higher end of the price range. Their matcha has a rich umami flavour that leaves a strong, lingering aftertaste. I definitely recommend going for unsweetened matcha to savour its complex taste profile. However, matcha clumps are found even after stirring it thoroughly (not shown in the photo).”

“Despite the wide range of matcha options, it didn’t deliver the expectation or justify the high price point. We ordered no.88 and no.32 and we couldn’t really tell the difference in taste profiles. Both iced and hot matcha lattes were diluted and flat. The milk was overpowering the matcha.”

“Top choice for quality coffee in Manchester. Staff are super knowledgeable and kind. They get extra points cause they offer Freddo Espresso (go to coffee for Greeks). Highly recommend!”

“Really impressed with this place! The coffee beans are excellent – you can tell the owner puts a lot of care into selection and roasting. The matcha was also a highlight: rich, smooth, and nothing like the standard matcha powder you usually get. The shop is clean and beautifully decorated, with outdoor seating that's perfect for catching up with friends. The staff were super welcoming and attentive too. They also sell freshly roasted beans at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!”
