The Coffee Sack

Head up to Scholes Lane and you'll find The Coffee Sack doing what it does without any faffing about. The espresso's dialled in, the pastries aren't stale, and they've got that rare ability to make a flat white taste like someone actually cares. It's compact and gets rammed, especially weekends, but that's because word's got out among the people who know their coffee from their instant. The vibe is proper casual—stripped-back interiors, friendly staff who aren't pretentious, and a menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. Come here for seriously good coffee and honest food that won't lighten your wallet too much.
