Second City Coffee is a Manchester-rooted roastery and coffee house, with a tight-knit team operating from Quayside in Warrington and a cafe in Stockton Heath that opened in March 2018. The house roast, Signature 2.0, is sourced via the Cafe Femenino Foundation, a women-only cooperative in Peru, and the wider line-up runs from Brazilian and Indian beans in Automatic Fable to a Guatemalan Fedecocagua decaf called Unleaded MCR.

Wholesale partners have included Manchester Art Gallery, The Whitworth Gallery, Manchester City FC, Wigan Athletic FC and Manchester Airport, alongside festival work at Parklife and broadcast appearances on ITV's Good Morning Britain. The team also runs Luigi, a Piaggio Ape mobile espresso bar, and offers barista training and consultancy.

Coffee is described as ethically sourced and always fairly traded.
