Cafeteria Cortado

You'll find Cafeteria Cortado tucked away on Eccles Old Road in Salford, the kind of place that doesn't need Instagram to pull a crowd. It's stripped back—no oat milk faffing about, no flat white variations with silly names—just genuinely good coffee made by people who actually care. The room's unpretentious, the kind of spot where locals prop themselves at the counter and chat to whoever's pulling shots. This isn't artisanal theatre; it's the real thing. You come here because the cortado is exceptional and everyone's too busy enjoying their coffee to perform for the gram.
