Laco Café & Bistro

You'll find Laco tucked away on Little Underbank, in that stretch of Stockport town centre that's quietly becoming somewhere worth lingering. It's the sort of place where locals actually camp out with their laptops, where the coffee's treated seriously but nobody's making a fuss about it, and where the food side of things—bistro classics done right—feels like an afterthought that became the main event. The room's unpretentious, warm, the kind of spot that works equally well for a solo breakfast or a leisurely lunch with mates.
