About Me

The KP has been nominated for an award for best Casual Dining and Coffee Shop
CLICK HERE TO VOTE!
The Koffee Pot is a Manchester institution and has proudly stood serving bacon butties and the like for the last 27 years. Formerly a record shop, this little old caff has seen it all from its vantage point on Hilton St.
The baton was handed over from Caroline to Chris Devlin and Nick Fraser in September 2006 and they set about changing it while keeping it exactly the same. The Koffee Pot is proud to keep serving the classic British food that it always has, at a price every pocket can afford - even those pockets with holes in for our more down at heel clientele.
Come down and check us out - Try to avoid mentioning "trendying up", "what happened to the £1 breakfast" or other such stuff that send us mental and join us for summat to eat or just a brew.....
