This is a great place for a quick lunch. It was a place I loved at 16 and still love at 27. So much so, that whenever I visit Macclesfield I have to go there at least once.
I’ll be honest, vegetarian options are limited - a couple of vegetarian sandwiches, and jackets for your mains, virtually nothing savoury in the breakfast section.
However, the vegetarian mains are not just the standard jacket potato with cheese and beans which they do have. You also get some brie combinations and tropical fruit. It's faultless when it comes to good, solid taste and filling you up. I’ve never changed my order from the following: Cheddar cheese, red onion and caramelised carrot chutney toastie with wholemeal bread, a pot of tea, and if I’m in the mood for some indulgence, which is 8 times out of 10, then I’ll order a warm chocolate cake with ice cream.
This isn’t a place that will be make you feel incredibly special and some may feel that a menu that hasn’t changed in 16 years may tend towards dated, but if you ask any of the patrons, Coffee Traders hasn’t made any major alterations to their menu because everything has always, and will always sell well, because they taste good.
One thing that has changed is that their homemade coleslaw is not automatically served with each main like it used to be. Ask for it, it’s worth it.
If you’re looking for a quaint lunch near the peaks, in a place that looks and feels like someone’s home, where everyone is Northern friendly, then weather their lunch time rush queues and at least have a cream tea at Coffee Traders.
Price: Approximately £24.00 for a pot of tea for 3, mains x 3 and service charge.
