Moose Coffee
Moose Coffee is a breakfast café on York Street, just off Market Street in central Manchester, serving English, American and Canadian breakfasts under antler chandeliers. Bagel benedicts and hash plates are the stars, with sandwiches and burgers later in the day, and the small room means queues are part of the experience.

Breakfast across the Atlantic
The menu crosses the Atlantic. The New York Moose puts eggs Benedict on a toasted bagel with grilled Parma ham, while the Lone Star Moose is a big plate of chipolatas, homemade potato hash, free-range eggs and griddled tomato. Sandwiches, salads and burgers run all day, and the cakes are worth a look. Portions are generous, so a single plate is usually enough to keep you going until dinner. Coffee is served alongside, and the breakfast menu runs well past the usual cut-off, so a late start is no problem.
The room
It is a modest space with no more than about fifteen tables, decorated with moose prints and antler chandeliers. That cosy scale is part of the charm, but it also means a wait at peak times, especially at weekends. The decor leans fully into the moose theme, which makes it fun for children and visitors alike.
Fitting it into your day
Go early or mid-week to beat the queue, and fuel up before a morning of shopping or sightseeing. Manchester Art Gallery and Piccadilly Gardens are both a short walk, so it makes a good start to a day in the city centre.
