Coffee Beans Cafe sits on Castle Street in Macclesfield and serves up solid, traditional breakfast fare alongside a steady flow of well-made coffee. This is the kind of local coffee shop where you’ll find a mix of early risers grabbing a substantial English or Big Breakfast and regulars popping in for a quick caffeine fix. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, with a friendly buzz that comes from familiar faces and a straightforward menu.

The breakfasts here reflect classic, hearty English choices—from the traditional English Breakfast to larger, more filling options, all reasonably priced and portioned generously enough to satisfy a serious appetite. The sandwich and hot baguette options offer a convenient alternative if you’re in more of a grab-and-go mode. There’s also a good variety of fillings, including vegetarian and vegan choices, which speaks to a thoughtful approach to local tastes.

Patrons often use Coffee Beans Cafe as a relaxed spot to start their day or to fill that mid-morning void, appreciating the no-frills service and the comfort of familiar flavours. There’s a neighborhood feel — younger staff offer polite, welcoming service, and the kitchen turns out well-cooked meals that don’t try to be fancy but focus on getting things right. It’s busy enough during breakfast hours to suggest it’s a staple for many locals but remains approachable.

While seating is modest, the layout encourages a casual experience rather than lingering for long hours. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a solid breakfast with a robust coffee in an unpretentious, everyday environment, this cafe is worth a visit. Some visitors bring home pastries and pasties to extend the experience beyond the counter.

Best times to visit are mornings, especially if you want to enjoy a filling breakfast without rushing. The atmosphere suits those who appreciate straightforward, satisfying food paired with good coffee in a practical, friendly setting.

I absolutely love the Cornish pasty at this place, I live in Manchester, but whenever it is possible, my husband and I go to Macclesfield just to have a few.:) We have tried to find a place in Manchester that could beat this one, but no such lucky so far. In my opinion all sweets and pasties that I have tried are excellent. We haven't seat in to eat there though, we prefer to take it home. Enjoy!

This is a great little local gem! A quirky little local cafe with the charm and food you would expect from that, if your looking for a cheap breakfast and a little local twist then this is the place for that

Had some time to fill this morning so decided to grab a cooked breakfast here. I have to say I was very impressed- first time I had ever been in. Had the large breakfast (great value) and it was excellent- in fact it was so large they could do with bigger plates. Everything was cooked just right and with the meal came a well-made double espresso, free of charge. Only comment is that they could do with a dehumifier- the windows were so steamed up you couldn't see out of them. I'll definitely be returning.
