Second Cup cafe, Corporation Street, Manchester

On first entering it looked a tad utilitarian and down market. Staff were presentable and local and agreeably there was an all male team of baristas and I was blown away by the server with the muscular and hairy forearms.
The coffee had depth and good flavour notes and was competitively priced, with an ample selection of cakes. The clientele were smart / professional and favoured the mountain lodge like spacious room upstairs, a nice place to hide away from the bad weather, though the music was a bit irritating.
Located in a popular shopping spot between the Arndale and Marks and Spencers.

Buenos dias

Buenos dias, que tal?

Me gustaria quedar antes de que tu regrese a Espana

Christmas break

A bit of self help, a quick coffee grabbed in Neros on Portland Street Manchester. A sorry for  ' we made you feel like sh*t'. I still have belonging even though the bar wasn't right for me today.

Two cappuccinos and a free delicious chocolate brownie given by the head chef - how kind!

Lovely staff, made to feel so special.

Cappucino at La Vina, Deansgate, Manchester

Waiting with expectation for a friend at La Vina, Spanish tapas bar...ordered a couple of cappuccinos...met familiar faces from years ago when we used to see our friend Esteban from Argentina who worked there. Heard news he is married now and living in Buenos Aires. Great meal with a free bottle of wine. The coffees were a bit watery as if made with skimmed milk..a bit disappointing in comparison to café con leche in Spain.
