The Fountain

you're on park green, which sits at the quieter edge of macclesfield town centre, far enough from the main retail drag that you actually slow down when you get here. the fountain has built a real following in this part of cheshire, the kind that comes from consistency rather than novelty. macclesfield isn't a city trying to prove something with its coffee scene, and that suits a place like this. independent roasters in smaller towns often get overlooked by the wider specialty press, but locals here have clearly made up their minds. if you're passing through on the way toward the peaks, or just moving through sk11 on a grey tuesday morning, park green is worth the detour. start with whatever's on filter.
