The UK's Number 1 Cafe

OUR STORY

Federal Café & Bar began its journey in December 2014, opening its doors as a small neighbourhood café in Manchester.

Over the past decade, we have grown into a local favourite, known for our welcoming atmosphere, delicious dishes, great coffee, and excellent service.

We started with just three employees and a dream of creating a space where everyone would feel better when they left that when they came in. Now, we proudly operate 3 vibrant locations across the city and a coffee cart in the suburbs.

The Management Team

Our management team's passion for for great food, good service, and building relationships with our guests drives everything we do.

Our teams at the café are the heart of what makes Federal Café & Bar.

    Claudio has been with Federal since day one, shaping our vision and growing Federal from a small café into a neighbourhood favourite with multiple locations. His hands-on approach and great customer service philosophy have been key to our success.

  • Emily Ribeiro

    Emily has been with Federal since the beginning, setting the tone of voice for every online post and curating the photos we use. Her efforts have helped grow our audience to 60,000 Instagram followers, and over 1 million views on TikTok in 2023.
