Introducing @factorycoffeemcr the super chic spea

Introducing @factorycoffeemcr the super chic speak-easy tailors and #coffee shop in Manchester.

Rooted in Mancunian soul, Dooley and Rostron was created by Adam Dooley. This gem of King Street West has a rich history of luxury tailoring, creating the finest bespoke shirts and handcrafted suits over the last 55 years for many noted faces such as celebrities, sports stars and politicians.

Although Adam has been an experienced tailor and business owner in #Manchester for many years, his foray into coffee has been a fairly recent one. Inspired by visits to America and Amsterdam, his mission to create a coffee shop which serves exceptional coffee and freshly baked goods has been realised with Factory Coffee.

When Adam reached out to Ollie, they worked together on creating a signature blend which is well balanced and beautifully sweet. It brings together a mix of components from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais (in the Cerrado), the Jinotega region in northern Nicaragua and the birthplace of coffee itself, Ethiopia. It is smooth and rounded with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, stone fruit and milk chocolate.

Make sure you drop into this utter delight which sits at the front of Dooley and Rostron in between Spinningfield and Deansgate.

Tickets now available for our Home Barista Course!

The people have spoken, and we have listened. This course was unfortunately put on hold for some time due to the old ‘rona but we have figured out a way to bring it back and make it safe for all attendees. Plus, we thought it would make a great Christmas treat for any coffee enthusiasts.

This three-hour practical course is aimed at the home #barista or anyone wishing to learn more about how to create great #espresso and milk-based drinks from their own kitchen. This session requires no previous experience at all, it is also adaptable to meet the specific needs of the student and ensure the content covered is relevant to your own equipment.

Winter walks with our Yorkshire tour guide, Kanga

Winter walks with our Yorkshire tour guide, Kanga 🐾

As the nights are drawing in earlier, it can be tricky to catch that all important Vit D and get out in nature. Luckily, this pooch knows all the great spots in and around #Yorkshire so we thought we’d share some of her highlights. She’s always keen to explore so please feel free to share any of your own routes which we can try!

@harewoodhouse - A country house located in the small village of #Harewood just North of #Leeds on the A61 Harrogate Road. It is a huge estate of about 1,000 acres and luckily for us has a circular public footpath around the grounds. The estate has its own bird gardens and deer farm. Plus, you can pick up a #NorthStarCoffee at The Courtyard Café.

The #MeanwoodValleyTrail - This 7 mile trail is just minutes from the city centre, so you could start your next adventure sooner than you think. As you follow the route from #WoodhouseMoor to #GoldenAcrePark, you’ll see the incredible views from #WoodhouseRidge and stumble upon a feat of Victorian engineering as the disused Seven Arches Aqueduct towers above you. The route passes through a series of nature reserves before you reach the end and it can be broken down into sections, so you can make it as easy or as challenging as you want. Why not even pop into @bare_coffee en route for a @novabakehouse pastry and cup of North Star.

#WykeBeckValleyWay - This North to South Leeds route starts at #RoundhayPark, one of the biggest urban parks in Europe, before you make your way through some of Leeds’ greenest areas. You can enjoy the sheer beauty of #WykebeckWoods, #ArthursRein and #FearnvilleFields, before you reach the end at #TempleNewsam. Take your time and enjoy one of the great historic English estates, which combines history and nature with a farm you absolutely have to visit.

Happy wanderings!

Welcome to Leeds, @cubitts! When Cubitts told us

Welcome to Leeds, @cubitts!

When Cubitts told us they were opening a store in Leeds we were pretty excited, but when they told us they wanted to partner with us, we were specstatic (get it?!).

The modern spectacle maker, Cubitts have just launched their third store outside of London and the location they chose was our much loved #Leeds. The new store in the historic #VictoriaQuarter champions local businesses that are maintaining the city's vibrant culture, while also demonstrating their approach to the #CircularEconomy. For this very reason, they will be serving up #NorthStarCoffee on a @lamarzoccouk Linea Mini for customers in store.

As part of the opening, #Cubitts have also launched an exclusive micro-collection of three frames, inspired by the city's most revered artists, designers and architects.
