At SK Lowdown, we love going for brunch; it sets you up for the rest of the day. Brunch hits that mid-morning sweet spot when you’ve already been up for a couple of hours and your first coffee’s kicked in, you’ve worked up a good appetite and you’re ready to enjoy a proper scran.

We’ve put together a guide to our favourite places for brunch in Stockport (and breakfast, because nothing beats a fry-up).

This guide includes independent cafés in:

Stockport Old Town
Heaton Moor
Davenport
Marple Bridge

Convene

📍 17 Lower Hillgate, Stockport SK1 1JQ

Convene is one of the newest additions to Stockport Old Town and it already feels like it’s been there a lot longer. Sitting on Lower Hillgate, it’s a neighbourhood café focused on seasonal cooking and good coffee.

The menu features elegant brunch and lunch plates rather than greasy spoon classics, with dishes that will change throughout the year. It’s a lovely little social spot to meet friends if you want somewhere that feels like a treat, yet relaxed and unpretentious.

Vibe: Buzzy and modern
Good for: Slow brunches, good coffee

Laco Café & Bistro

📍 32 Little Underbank, Stockport SK1 1JT

Laco has built a reputation as one of the most popular café spots in Stockport Old Town. It’s small, welcoming and popular with locals.

Expect all your classic brunch favourites done well, including poached eggs, smashed avo on sourdough toast, Italian coffee and fresh juices.

Vibe: Old Town café
Good for: Classic brunch, casual catch-ups

Cafe San Juan

📍 27 St Petersgate, Stockport SK1 1EB

If you class yourself as a bit of a foodie, then Cafe San Juan is right up your street, bringing some Colombian flavour to the Stockport brunch scene. The not-so-hidden culinary gem of a café specialises in excellent coffee and South American-inspired breakfasts.

A favourite dish has to be the Despacito: tortilla with grilled cheese, beans and Colombian sausage alongside more traditional South American Burritos and empanadas, or more classic options. There are weekly house specials to try, and you’ll want to keep going back.

Vibe: Relaxed and family-run
Good for: Coffee lovers and something a bit different

Funky Monkey

📍 7 Buxton Road, Davenport, Stockport SK2 6LS

Funky Monkey has been a Davenport favourite for years. It’s colourful, relaxed and reliably busy at weekends.

The menu covers all the brunch essentials: full breakfasts, pancakes, eggs and plenty of vegetarian options. Portions are generous and the atmosphere is friendly and informal.

Vibe: Casual neighbourhood café
Good for: Weekend brunch and family breakfasts

Nook

📍 111 Heaton Moor Road, Heaton Moor, Stockport SK4 4HY

Nook sits right in the heart of Heaton Moor and blends café culture with a relaxed bar atmosphere. It opens for brunch and coffee before shifting into cocktails and drinks later in the day.

The brunch menu includes everything from classic eggs dishes to more indulgent plates, and the interior has that stylish neighbourhood café feel that works equally well for brunch or evening drinks.

Vibe: Stylish neighbourhood café
Good for: Brunch dates

Libby’s

📍 1–3 Town Street, Marple Bridge, Stockport SK6 5AA

Libby’s is worth travelling slightly further out of town for. Sitting in the centre of Marple Bridge, it’s a bakery and café known for its freshly baked bread, pastries and generous brunch plates.

Expect dishes like eggs Benedict, sourdough toast and delicious freshly baked pastries made in-house, plus a terrace area overlooking the weather that’s lovely in the summer months.

Vibe: Bakery café with village feel
Good for: Destination brunch and pastries
