Since opening its original Northern Quarter café in 2014, Federal has built a reputation as one of Manchester’s most beloved coffee and brunch spots. With its Deansgate outpost, it brings the same energy, quality, and easy-going charm to the city’s main thoroughfare, offering a welcoming escape for those in need of strong coffee, a leisurely brunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Inspired by the coffee culture of Australia and New Zealand, Federal takes its brews seriously. The coffee menu features a rotating selection of seasonal single-origin beans, expertly brewed to highlight their unique characteristics. Whether you’re after a flat white, a batch brew, or something a little more indulgent, each cup is served with the same attention to detail that has earned Federal a loyal following.
Food-wise, the Deansgate café stays true to its roots, serving up a brunch menu that hits all the right notes. Expect eggs done any way you like on toasted sourdough, halloumi and mushrooms in various forms, and French toast that leans into full-on indulgence. There’s also a selection of fresh pastries, homemade cakes, and a few lunchtime options, all made using top-quality ingredients sourced from independent suppliers.
