OFF THE PRESS

George Leigh Street's been having a moment for a few years now, and Off the Press sits right in the middle of Ancoats' indie café renaissance. You're looking at the kind of place that's done the work—espresso that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under a heat lamp, pastries that feel homemade rather than mass-produced, and a vibe that's neither trying too hard nor phoning it in. It's become a proper neighbourhood spot where people actually linger, whether that's with a laptop or just because the coffee's worth sticking around for.
