Fancy a coffee?

We get it, the most romantic restaurants in Manchester aren’t necessarily everyone's idea of a prime date location. Some of the best dates are the low-maintenance, casual ones that happen spontaneously one afternoon in your local coffee spot. So if you prefer to get to know someone over a coffee rather than a cocktail, tastecard’s Coffee Club will come in handy, no doubt. Treat yourself and your date to 25% off barista-made drinks with tastecard - that’s like getting every fourth drink for free, which is all the more reason to secure that second date!
