99 Reasons

You'll find yourself on Manchester Road in Chorlton, that stretch where independent businesses still outnumber chains—this is where 99 Reasons sits comfortably amongst the neighbourhood's other decent spots. It's the kind of place that gets rammed on weekend mornings but never feels aggressively trendy about it. The coffee's genuinely good (not pretentious about it), and they do the kind of brunch that works whether you're after avocado on sourdough or a proper cooked breakfast that won't disappear in three bites.
