Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Thurlow

"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."

"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."

"PKB, which has two location’s across Manchester are a passionate bunch of coffee professionals. Armed with one of the best coffee machines alongside quality baristas they focus on producing some of the best espressos in town. Their Internationally inspired breakfast and lunch menu is vibrant, colourful, fresh, and healthy yet a little naughty if you like."

"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."

"Tuck into some freshly baked bread and own-blend coffee at Bold Street’s East Avenue Bakehouse. With the morning loafs stacked neatly in the window and some delectable bakes and cakes ready to be devoured, this is the ultimate spot to enjoy a sweet treat and a hot drink mid-way through the morning. As far as coffee shops Liverpool go, this is a local favourite."

"You might be more familiar with East Avenue as an incredible brunch hotspot on Bold Street and a fabulous café that serves delectable cakes and bakes. But ordering from The Bakehouse Kitchen menu will return equally delicious dishes, outside of brunching hours. Try their ‘Trenchers’ for a solid lunch-time meal to fill you up all afternoon."
