Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Skelmersdale

"Deansgate’s Barton Arcade plays host to Pot Kettle Black – a glass fronted coffee haven that has Mancunians flocking from all over the city. I’m yet to see PKB empty, which is testament to their consistently high standards and some of the best coffee in the City. Also a sanctuary for freelancers I’m not the first to have spent an entire day in PKB, keeping fuelled by their beverages and snacks and I’m positive that I won’t be the last."

"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."

"Pot Kettle Black is an award-winning speciality coffee store based on the ground floor of No.1 Spinningfields. As well as tasty brunch dishes, they’re passionate about coffee and dedicated to quality. Looking for something different?"

"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."

"Head to Bold Street’s East Avenue Bakehouse for an elegant start to your day. Serving freshly baked bread, deliciously garnished porridge and some of the best eggs Benedict in the city centre, you won’t be disappointed if you pop in. For something a little different from the bog-standard Full English, try their ‘The Ultimate’ – smoked bacon lardons, Bury black pudding, plum tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms served on a home-made hunk of bread with a poached egg and lashings of hollandaise sauce."

"Open morning, noon and night, East Avenue Bakehouse is a proud supplier of local produce with a few healthy selections. As you may have guessed, EAB bake their own bread and it’s a delicious addition to many of their dishes. Serving breakfast lunch and dinner on the ever popular and independent Bold Street, you can find a number of classic dishes adorning the menu with a selection of more unusual offerings."

"Located just down the road from our Peel Park campus, this lovely little place combines art with coffee, tea and cake. The tea room offers a very relaxed atmosphere, as well as daily home-baked cakes, while the upstairs gallery is home to six week long exhibitions with work by local artists, including some from Salford students. Hot drinks are reasonably priced and the decor is stunning."

"Yvette Fielding opened this tearoom and even pours the tea herself – so if you want a dining experience with a difference then this is sure to be it. The venue itself is set next to the famous Manchester Cathedral with views that look across towards Salford. It is virtually impossible to walk past without being tempted to go inside and enjoy a slice of cake or an afternoon tea."

"Town House Coffee and Brew Bar provides a fresh and modern surrounding down Preston's Friargate. The café serve up some seriously tasty dishes for breakfast and lunch, many with vegan alternatives which don't skimp on the flavour. All this can be washed down with vegan teas, coffees, and smoothies."

"The double award winning Town House Coffee & Brew Bar, serving breakfast, brunch, coffee and cakes is open 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday. The Friargate shop also has plenty of outdoor seating."

"Choose from fresh-baked scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, savouries, immaculate sandwiches and pastries. All served with exquisite teas or coffees."

"Eastern Bloc Records, 5A Stevenson Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 1DN - Visit now. When Eastern Bloc Records left Oldham Street to reinvent itself as a coffee shop/record shop/event space, we were pretty skeptical. Well, we were wrong!"

"Eastern Bloc Records is a shop for drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, dubstep, house, techno and electronica records and they have a small cafe with sandwiches and coffee/tea. Enjoy some good vibes, expert advice and perhaps even sit on the outdoor terrace for some people watching."

"Seconds on foot from the futuristic architecture of Salford Quays is a splendid Tudor mansion, home to the Radclyffe family for 300 years. The surviving parts of Ordsall Hall are built on two ranges around a courtyard knot garden, the south dating to the 15th century, and the west range completed in 1639. These both incorporate older elements dating back 750 years."

"Ordsall Hall, 322 Ordsall Lane, Salford, Greater Manchester, M5 3AN - Visit now. A beautifully preserved Tudor mansion and museum with resident ghost and expansive lawns."
