Kith + Kin (formerly GK Gallery)

Walk into Chapel Street and you'll find yourself in what used to be GK Gallery, now reborn as Kith + Kin—and honestly, it's the kind of place that makes you realise how good a proper neighbourhood café can be. The space still carries that gallery DNA; there's actual art dotted about that isn't just there for show. You're looking at really solid coffee (the kind made by people who actually care), brunch that goes beyond the usual eggs-on-toast routine, and a vibe that feels genuinely relaxed rather than performative. It's become something of a anchor for the Salford creative types without losing the plot or charging London prices.
