Manchester Press is a tucked-away cafe on Hardware Lane serving excellent bagels and specialty coffee, particularly their Magic coffee. Order the bagels (especially avocado smash with poached egg) and their standout coffee—reviewers rave about both. Note that it's popular and can fill up quickly, especially on weekend mornings, so arrive early if you want a guaranteed table.
