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.
