Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Haigh

"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."

"Pot Kettle Black, Unit 14, Barton Arcade Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 2BW - Visit now. Tucked away in Barton Arcade, a small but beautiful shopping centre between St Ann’s Square and Deansgate, is Pot Kettle Black. This cosy cafe serves up both excellent coffee and an inventive brunch menu (8am-3pm daily) – we particularly recommend the figs on toast, with whipped ricotta, fresh mint and infused honey."

"Pot Kettle Black serves an impressive menu of breakfast fit for any breakfast lover from 8 am – 4 pm. Awarded the best tea and coffee shop in Manchester, it’s also a great place to go if you just want a coffee. You can get breakfast here from just £6!"

"East Avenue Bakehouse is an American-style restaurant known for its wholesome mix of drinks and dishes, and is perfect for those wishing to try something which departs from the standard breakfast dishes available in the city. With quirky and vintage interiors, such as a bike hanging from the ceiling and cutlery stored in golden syrup tins, this bakehouse is an inviting and rather authentic representation of New York. With fresh local produce of a high quality and a generous variety of breakfast dishes, East Avenue Bakehouse maintains its admirable reputation."

"Back on Bold Street and this time in a bakery that specialises in promoting locally sourced produce as well as creating their own bready goodness. On top of a wide menu of great dishes, there are some real gems of baking skill including artisan bread, dainty macarons and fluffy meringue. You could eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner at East Avenue bakehouse although we reckon we’d have to wheel you home."

"East Avenue Bakehouse is a kooky Bold Street eatery serving a selection of delicious homemade dishes in an unrivalled relaxed atmosphere. Every Sunday, this popular restaurant serves a traditional roast dinner using only the best local and seasonal produce from 12pm onwards. The Sunday roast is a classic with tender slices of meat, accompanied by all the trimmings and covered in lashings of gravy."

"At 20 Forthlin Road and 251 Menlove Avenue, you’ll be able to stand in the exact spots where Paul McCartney and John Lennon (respectively) wrote some of the Beatles’ biggest hits. Both homes are now National Trust attractions, and have been kept as they would have been in the 1950s and 60s. These recommendations were updated on August 24, 2020 to keep your travel plans fresh."

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."

"Another fabulous all you can eat restaurant on Hanover Street is Bem Brasil, a particularly boujee eatery after it’s £1m refurbishment!. Here, you can enjoy a unique dining experience where you can feast on an endless supply of finest quality Brazilian food and succulent barbecued meats, all for once price. The rodizio lunch option at 12-4pm every Monday-Friday costs around £15.75, and the rodizio dinner option from 4-10:30pm costs £29.75."

"Having recently had a £1million refurbishment, Bem Brasil offers up a unique and authentic Brazilian dining experience. Unlike most restaurants you don’t choose from a traditional menu, instead pile your plate high with salad from the bar and then choose you meats as they are bought round the tables and carved directly onto your plate. Choose from the likes of cap of rump, chicken wrapped in pancetta and leg of lamb."

"Another Brazilian restaurant offering a rodizio experience, Bem Brasil offer succulent barbecued meats carved at your table until you tell them to stop. With no set menu, you simply pile your plate high at the salad bar, then choose from the vast range of barbecued meats. Lunch starts at £14.95 per person and dinner costs £27.95 per person."

"If all this gorgeous weather’s got you dreaming of long haul holidays, maybe to the US West Coast, then Backyard could well be the place to bring it nearer home. The all-day kitchen and bar has opened up on Wolstenholme Square for homemade nachos, tacos and lots of in-house special cocktails and spritzes plus plenty of laidback sunshiny vibes. Walk-ins every day until 11pm."

"Back Yard is a new, all-day venue inspired by West Coast America, where it’s all about Tacos, Cocktails & Carefree Vibes. Backyard LA Meets San Diego Beer Garden, in Wolstenholme Square."
