Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Wilcove

"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."

"A boutique-styled café tucked in the Barton arcade has earned the position of one of the best Manchester City Centre coffee shops. It is situated in a beautiful Victorian building in the famous Barton Arcade, and something you may not know, the popular Manchester coffee shop is owned by Rugby League’s Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan. You can get all types of coffee here from standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino."

"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge. Owners Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan run a tight ship, with staff serving up an impressive range of brews. Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Don’t be misled by the name of this in-your-face South Liverpool institution – this is a pastry lovers paradise. For more than 60 years it’s been serving up a huge variety of pies and pasties. Choose from classic Cornish pasties and steak slices, try a delicious pork, cheese and pickle pie or get your salt and pepper hit with Liverpool’s first and only salt and pepper sausage roll."

"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."

"I’m always a fan of getting a new perspective on a city and The Wheel of Liverpool is a great way to get a bird’s-eye view over the docks and beyond. Located on Keel Wharf waterfront, the wheel transports families in capsules 60m above the ground offering panoramic views of Liverpool. Children of all ages are welcome."

"It boasts 42 fully enclosed and air-conditioned capsules and offers riders spectacular views of the city, including the River Mersey, the Welsh mountains and the World Heritage Site waterfront."

"It’s no London Eye but it is high enough and affords lovely views over Liverpool. It is also significantly cheaper with under 3’s being free."

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

": With low lighting, deep booths, and its very own champagne snug, this is one of the most elegant restaurants in Dakota. Tuck into a refined menu of chateaubriand, steak frites and black pudding, kale and venison with blackberry, and short rib of beef. Did we mention that they even have suites upstairs?"

"This stylish subterranean restaurant in Spinningfields has long been a mecca for Manchester’s elite. Known for its splendid cocktails and sushi plates, this Valentine’s the restaurant will also have a special sharing dessert Valentine’s Bento Box for couples to split between them."

"The Academy Restaurant is a hidden gem for tourists in Liverpool. The staff prepare amazing British and European food in mouth-watering flavours. They also serve a nice selection of wine and beer."
