Fancy getting your hands on one of the best cups of coffee in Manchester for free? Manchester’s number one brunch spot, and the UK’s most popular independent café, Federal is giving away 1,000 coffees this weekend October 17th-19th, to mark the reopening of its Northern Quarter café.
Federal café, on Nicholas Croft, has been temporarily closed while it underwent a refurbishment and now the doors are finally being flung open to welcome customers back.
The new interior has all the familiar Federal feels with a relaxed space filled with reclaimed furniture, plenty of greenery and comfy banquet seating to create that laid-back and down-to-earth charm Federal is famous for. Timber details and eye-catching signage bring warmth and personality and tie in beautifully with the delicious menu of fresh food and drinks.

To celebrate the reopening, from 7.30am on Friday 17th and 8am Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th October, Federal will be giving away free espresso drinks that use its Ozone Federal espresso blend, this includes lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos.
As well as this there’ll be Batch brew that uses rotating single origin varieties for those who prefer their coffee black. There are also free Lovingly Artisan pastries up for grabs for those super early birds each morning.


Federal social media and marketing manager, Emily Ribeiro, said: Our Northern Quarter café was the first Federal to open in Manchester back in 2014, so it holds a special place in our hearts. It has been open consistently and extremely busy for 10 years, so it was time for a refresh.
“We haven’t re-invented the wheel, this is all about making customers feel familiar and comfortable whilst improving the flow of the café and overall experience. We can’t wait to see all our loyal customers again and invite them to come and have a coffee on us and celebrate some of our favourite suppliers, Ozone Coffee, Oatly and Lovingly Artisan, who have supported us from day one!”

The café will also debut Federal’s new autumn weekly specials, starting with a Biscoff chai latte from October 18, the perfect cup of warm indulgent goodness for autumn.
Federal Northern Quarter is open Friday 7:30am-4pm and Saturday & Sunday 8am-5pm for the big coffee giveaway. For more info check out Federal’s Instagram page @federalcafebar or sign up to its E-newsletter for updates https://federalcafe.co.uk/.
