Deli-Lama

You'll find yourself in one of Salford's most interesting creative spaces when you push through the doors at Islington Mill. Deli-Lama sits within this converted Victorian mill, surrounded by artist studios and galleries, which sets the tone for something a bit different from your standard coffee shop. The menu revolves around whole foods and plant-forward cooking—think proper sourdough, seasonal salads, and the kind of coffee that doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's the sort of place where you can spend two hours with a flat white without anyone making you feel rushed, and where the folks behind the counter actually know what they're talking about.
