"This Aussie-owned independent coffee shop serves an excellent roast from Big-Smoke-based Ozone, but these guys offer more than just a great cup of coffee. They also hold the title for some of the most Instagrammed brunches in Manchester. Ever since smashed avo has been a thing, their fresh and locally sourced eats have never failed to disappoint – which is probably why it often has people queuing out the door."

"Even though there are so many great brunches in Manchester, I always gravitate back to Federal. I love the halloumi veggie bagel and the mushrooms and poached eggs on sourdough. None of the brunch dishes are more than £7.50 in Federal which means you can include a coffee and still pay less than £10 for brunch."

"You will have seen the snaking queues on a Saturday in the Northern Quarter, and now also at their second home on Deansgate. Those queues are for good reason. Federal serve up tasty Instagrammable brunch dishes, alongside Ozone coffee."
