About

The Antipodean outlook has transformed coffee and brunch in London, and now it’s set to change Manchester’s café culture. Federal is a ‘New Zealand and Australian café’ by way of the Northern Quarter: a cool-meets-cool interface that can only involve hand-brewed seasonal single-origin coffee and an Aeropress. Breakfast is served all day, and is breezily indulgent: toasted banana bread with whipped vanilla mascarpone; smashed avocado and streaky bacon on sourdough toast with poached eggs and rocket; or a veggie breakfast bagel with fried eggs, spinach, aïoli, tomato relish, halloumi and mushrooms. There are sweet bits and pieces too, as well as house-made juices, but the coffee is the thing, made using Ozone beans and available in all the contemporary permutations including cold brew and pour-over. Milo, the chocolate malt drink born in Australia, is a homesick traveller’s hot cup of comfort, though the local market may well favour Horlicks.
