Idle Hands

Idle Hands is a speciality coffee shop in Manchester. You'll find it on the approach to Piccadilly station and it's one of the only independent coffee shops in an area that's mostly dominated by larger chains - perfectly placed for commuters who fancy something a little different to their usual morning Starbucks or Cafe Nero.

Take your pick from a selection of speciality coffees from around the world, and accompany your drink with a tasty breakfast treat. (If you're not a coffee connoisseur, don't worry, just ask one of the baristas for which one they'd recommend). Perfect for a quick breakfast on-the-go, choose from classic bacon butties, crumpets, freshly made croissants, smashed avocado, granola and more. And if you're dropping into Idle Hands later in the day, you'll find a selection of homemade cakes by the counter.
