You walk into Manhattan 70s and the decade hits you immediately—wood panelling, vintage fixtures, the works. It's not trying too hard or playing it ironically; this place genuinely feels like it's been doing its thing since the Nixon administration. Tucked away on Watford Road in Cotteridge, it's the kind of neighbourhood café that locals have probably been quietly recommending to mates for years. The coffee's proper, the breakfasts are generous, and the whole atmosphere feels like stepping into someone's front room—if that front room had incredible taste in retro design and knew how to make a decent cuppa.
