Stockport’s Best Coffee Shops.

Stockport is a town that is full of great cafes and coffee shops. Whether you are looking for a place to chat with friends, or need somewhere to work remotely on your laptop, there’s plenty out there!

As a team of Stockport web designers and creatives, we get through a LOT of coffee (and tea for that matter) here at the Nicada Digital office. However, we also like to hit the local coffee shops and cafes for meetings, informal design and SEO presentations, and of course for a well-deserved break (caffeine fix) from the hustle and bustle that is the web design industry.

Many of the cafes offer far more than a quick coffee though. Everything from a delicious Sunday lunch, afternoon tea, amazing cakes, the best breakfast and a fantastic place to meet with friends, clients and colleagues are on offer in our local town.

There are certain criteria we look out for as well as good coffee when trying somewhere new which other professionals and freelancers may also be looking for.

Top Coffee Shop & Cafe Criteria For Freelancers:

  • The coffee shops’ clientele – you don’t want to be the only freelancer amongst a local baby and toddler group meet up! Making sure other like-minded people are using the facilities and enjoying the hot and cold drinks and local cuisine on offer is important
  • WiFi is obviously a must. Good fast broadband is available at most Stockport’s Cafe’s.
  • A good atmosphere is key for a Cafe. If it’s too noisy or cramped, you’ll be far better off back at your own desk! The best coffee shops are a place where you can get work done, not just somewhere to sit down and have your lunch. A good selection of food and drink is also important – we always need to keep our strength up for those long working days!

      Here is a list of drinks and a description of what they are:

       

      AFFOGATO

      Espresso poured on a vanilla ice cream. Served in a cappuccino cup.

      BARISTA GRANDE

      A grande coffee with an extra shot of espresso, served in a tall glass.

      CAPPUCCINO

      A cup of espresso blended with steamed milk and frothed milk on top. The perfect start to your day!

      CAFFÈ LATTE

      A coffee with hot milk added to it.

      ESPRESSO

      An espresso is made of a single shot that has been put under pressure and extracted using steam before being mixed with water for the perfect drink!

      FLAT WHITE

      This coffee is usually a double espresso shot mixed with hot milk, but for an iced version just add cold milk and ice.

      MOCHA

      A mocha is made up for the same as a cappuccino but it has chocolate syrup added at the end before you pour the hot water over it instead of pouring all that liquid into one container. The only difference between this and an affogato, apart from taste, is that there’s no vanilla ice cream in a mocha – so if you prefer ice cream then go for an affagato!

      HOT CHOCOLATE

      Hot chocolate is made from a mixture of milk and cocoa powder, then heated with water. It can be served in a cup or mug where you’ll add the sugar to taste.

      CAFFE MACCHIATO

      A coffee that has been poured into an espresso shot after it’s mixed with steamed milk.

      FRAPPÉ

      A FRAPPÉ is a coffee drink that’s made from espresso, vanilla syrup and milk.

      AMERICANO

      An Americano is simply an espresso shot mixed with hot water. Goes great with American pancakes.

      MOCHA CHOCOLATE LATTE

      A mocha latte usually comes in two flavours: chocolate and mint, which are both combined for one delicious taste! The only difference between this and an affogato (apart from taste) is that there’s no vanilla ice cream in a mocha so if you prefer ice cream then go for an affagato!

      Obviously, this is just a shortlist of popular nice coffee, as there are plenty of other flavours to try out.

      The best cafe’s in Stockport will have a menu available with detailed descriptions of each so you can make an informed decision before ordering for you and your colleagues.

      So whether you are looking for the best breakfast, a superb burger, amazing pancakes or some heartwarming homemade soup, the cafe’s in Stockport are sure to deliver top results.
