Starting Point Coffee Shop was opened on 11th July 2009 (Anne’s Birthday) at 4-5 Woodley Precinct, SK6 1RJ.  We love Woodley and reinvest our our profits into making our community stronger. We also offer a free working space for our community team at Starting Point.

We are proud to have a 5-star hygiene rating and all our staff have been trained in Level Two Food Hygiene or above.

What We Offer

Open Monday to Saturday 9am – 4.30pm, we offer a fabulous locally roasted coffee from the amazing Heart & Graft coffee roastery in Salford. Our sandwiches are made from bread baked in Edgeley and we source local produce where possible because we believe in supporting local businesses.

Our menu is freshly made each day and offers competitively priced sandwiches, soups and salads as well as coffee. We also have regular offers for those watching the pennies.

Here is our MENU
