I asked this question earlier on Twitter and received an excellent range of responses. For my own convenience, here’s a list of the recommended cafes that I’m planning to try out over the coming weeks:

@mark_carrigan The newly refurbished central library is a good place to go. Café too and Wifi I imagine

@mark_carrigan Takk – great coffee and lovely staff. I often camp out there all day and they don't mind. Common also good in the day.

@DrKimAllen1 @mark_carrigan I second that. Also being new to Manchester I discovered Takk last week and will certainly be there a fair bit.

@MsFloraPoste @mark_carrigan recommend @takkmcr, @northteapower, @PKBcoffee, @Grindsmith_GN

@darkeditorial @DrKimAllen1 @mark_carrigan Takk is great! I also have something of a soft spot for Night and Day Cafe for these activities.
