Ditto Coffee

Ditto Coffee grew out of Ditto Music, the independent Liverpool founded label services company that helped artists release music globally without going through a major, and the cafe carries that same do it yourself spirit into a tall, narrow shop on Jamaica Street. A neat mezzanine level fits in a surprising amount of seating for such a small footprint, with a bench and table outside on the busy Baltic Triangle street.

The house blend comes from Neighbourhood Coffee, old friends of the Ditto team, poured through a standard espresso menu alongside batch brew filter and hot chocolate. Live music from local acts, vinyl from Liverpool labels, and a Wall of Fame of artists who've passed through keep the space tied to the music side of the business as much as the coffee, and it's since expanded to two Manchester locations and one in London.
