Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Rainow

"As the name indicates, Forge Bakehouse is a bakery, so any brunch item you're getting that involves bread will be about as fresh and tasty as it's possible to get. They do brunch with a twist, such as their Aloo Sabzi Baked Eggs. Or if you have a sweet tooth then the pictured French toast with banana, raspberry, peanut brittle, chocolate sauce, and peanut mascarpone may well be for you."

"Forge began as a humble bakery, then it branched out with a café, and now that café has monthly supper clubs, cocktails, burgers and shakes. But the star of the show will always be the bread, baked fresh every day, right next to the café. Order the Mexican-style huevos rancheros for brunch, but don’t leave without a loaf of sourdough or another treat to take home."

"Forge Bakehouse does superb breakfasts and they are very veggie and vegan-friendly. Any number of their veggie baked egg dishes, such as huevos rancheroes or aloo sabzi, can be swapped for Burmese chickpea tofu to make them vegan. Their daily one pot lunch option is almost nearly always vegan too."

"This boutique coffee house situated in the beautiful Victorian building, Barton Arcade, is owned by Rugby League’s Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan. The core coffee PKB uses for standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino is Workshop’s ‘Cult of Done’. Prices start at £2.30 for an espresso, rising to £3.50 for a cup of one of their exclusive filter specialities."

"Located in the beautiful Barton Arcade, you can find one of my all-time favourite coffee spots: Pot Kettle Black. They have another shop in Spinningfield, but this one is my favourite. Probably because of the beautiful interior of both the cafe and the stylish Barton Arcade."

"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!"

Gerry’s specialises in intriguing flavour combinations, including khorsan and date loaf, honey cakes, and oat and barberry biscuits."

"The Northern sister to London’s Imperial War Museum, the Manchester venue is just as engrossing, and sobering as it’s southern equivalent. Built on the ruins of the docklands industrial area, which was bombed heavily itself during the Blitz. A stunning collection, ranging from World War memorabilia to sections of the World Trade Center wreckage can be found in one of the best collections to be found in any museums in Manchester."

"IWM North highlights the impact of war on people's lives through their stories and artefacts, plus military vehicles and aircraft and audio-visual displays. There are a range of special exhibitions, educational events and children's activities on offer…"

"From Wednesday May 19, the stunning Whitworth gallery will be partially reopen to the public, with a film screening of Imran Perretta: the destructors on display. The cafe will be back open too, but the full gallery will be up and running again by July 1, in time for its MIF21 summer exhibition. Plan your visit at whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/visit."

"Veggie friendly – As if you needed any more excuse to go to the Summer House, here’s another. Not only do they have an extensive veggie offering for breakfast/brunch they don’t shy away when it comes to their A-la-carte menu either. This leaning tower of char-grilled veg, couscous and flat bread will have you ducking for cover if it just happens to topple over."

"Chiquito is a lively, family friendly Mexican chain restaurant. They serve breakfast, available every day until noon. Breakfast items include the Breakfast Sizzler, Breakfast Chimichanga plain tortilla, Mexican eggs benedict and the Breakfast feast."

"South of the border' passion is always served up at Chiquito. A menu of bold Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is prepared however the diner likes it. Burritos, sizzling fajitas and tacos can all be customised for vegetarians or those wanting more spice."

"A post shared by alex (@alexcutts) on Feb 29, 2016 at 4:34am PST. This small Brooklyn-inspired diner is the place to head if you’re craving a taste of classic American cuisine. Their crispy fried chicken sandwiches are the star of the menu, and can be customised with an array of delicious toppings, while the waffles, pancakes and shakes are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth."
