Federal, the Antipodean-inspired coffee shop and brunch peddlers, are to open a third site in the city. The new spot will be found on Circle Square, the development that was formerly the BBC on Oxford Road.
They announced the ‘big news’ in a post to Instagram. “We’re so so excited to let you all know about our 3rd Manchester location!” they said. “We can’t wait [to] open the doors and start serving our coffee & brunch on Oxford Road.”

The new site will be opening in the autumn, with more news in the pipeline. For now, the unit is emblazoned with a picture of a kiwi bird with its beak in a coffee cup, a nod to owner Claudio Ribeiro’s homeland of New Zealand. It will join the likes of Hello Oriental, Canvas and Tahi, another New Zealand concept, at Circle Square.

It then opened a second, much larger site on Deansgate in 2019.
