Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Marple

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"The Brasserie at The Ivy in Manchester do a Saturday and Sunday Brunch (and bank holidays). The restaurant itself is a beautiful art deco inspired space. With options like Truffle Arancini, Zucchini fritti, Eggs Benedict and Avocado Benedict, as well as Hot Buttermilk Pancakes for those (like me) with a sweet tooth!"

"The Ivy Spinningfields is ago-to quirky restaurant if you're after a night of sophisticated dining in a luxurious setting. With its patterned interiors, emerald green bar and picture perfect rooftop terrace, the venue serves a brasserie-style menu with handcrafted cocktails to match."

"This Northern Quarter restaurant’s pancakes have long held a place in our hearts, with delicious combos such as banana, nutella and salted caramel and blueberry compote with frosting on the menu. The homely diner has an array of incredible desserts if pancakes aren’t your style – with an incredible homemade cake counter that’s not for the faint-hearted. Pancake stacks include three, fluffy American-style pancakes, served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream."

"A post shared by Home Sweet Home (@homesweethomeuk) on Feb 23, 2020 at 4:15am PST. Another year-round pancake favourite, Home Sweet Home might be down to just one Manchester site now after closing their Great Northern Warehouse branch at the end of last year but their pancakes are still as banging as ever. Find them in the Northern Quarter to indulge in plates like these, topped with salted caramel, biscoff sauce, cream, strawberries and cinnamon crunch."

"From the towering cakes to the boozy milkshakes, Home Sweet Home is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth. The American-inspired brunch restaurant will wipe away any morning blues with its titan breakfasts; opt for pancake stacks with a breakfast cocktail thrown in for good measure."

"Tamper pride themselves on bringing the best of New Zealand’s culture to Sheffield, and I won’t lie, they do it pretty well. They’re located right between the Sheffield Hallam Owen and Cantor building, so even if you want to go mid-week for a quick catch up brunch with coursemates, you don’t have to wander far (if you go to Hallam that is!). Sometimes the worry with brunch is that it can be quite pricey, but I’d say Tamper is student-budget-friendly."

"Tamper aims to "bring the best of New Zealand's café culture to Sheffield" and one of the best bits is their breakfast and brunch menu. The full English is given a twist into The Big Kiwi whereas veggies may opt for The Ozzy, alongside a whole load of other options available, from wild rice bubbles to Nutella-stuffed French toast."

"Having just come second for ‘Best Cheap Eats’ in the North, in The Guardian Observer Food Monthly Awards, tucked away just off the indie metropolis that is Division Street, Steam Yard is rapidly becoming one of the most popular places in the city for great coffee and donuts. Inhabiting what used to be an old silverworks building, it is positioned at the back of a pretty courtyard between a tattoo parlour and costume shop. There is an intimate café atmosphere both inside and outside, where you can really take in the aesthetic of the traditional building."

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – If you’re vegan, a lover of coffee and crave a peanut butter brownie then look no further than the Steam Yard. Eating cake just somehow got better!. Plus the brownies have nuts in, so surely that’s one of your five a day, right??"

"I’ve had something of a hit-and-miss relationship with Atkinsons, the Lancaster-based coffee roaster and tea merchant. I’ve enjoyed Atkinsons’ coffee over the years and regularly run into the team at events such as the Manchester Coffee Festival. I even made a special stop in Lancaster in 2017 to visit one of the three Atkinson coffee shops there, but was foiled by IT problems which delayed my arrival until gone midnight…"

"Restoring the former Smithfield Market and creating a busy, atmospheric dining destination for Mancs to enjoy, Mackie Mayor has long been a favourite for locals – with bars, coffee shops and restaurants to enjoy inside. Situated in the Northern Quarter, guests can enjoy tacos, pizzas, wines, fried chicken, succulent beef and so much more, with tons of vendors to try during your visit. Mackie Mayor, 1 Eagle St, M4 5BU."

"Mackie Mayor is a hip food market refurbished from the shell of the historic Smithfield Market, originally opened in 1858. Come for the artisanal local food options like Fin Fish Bar and Baohouse, stay for the industrial design and glass ceiling."

"I swear that the good people of Manchester were waiting for me to leave… I’d been visiting for the inaugural Cup North back in 2014 and no sooner had I left, than it seemed a slew of new coffee shops opened, led by Federal Café & Bar, which, by the way, does what it says on the tin. By day, it’s a café, while by night, it morphs into a bar, although, as I discovered, the staff will happily serve you coffee long into the night (and, I suspect, alcohol during the day). The coffee side of the equation is handled by Kiwi transplants, Ozone, supplying the Hodson blend and decaf on espresso, with a couple of single-origins on pour-over, impressive when you consider the (lack of) available space."

"Situated just along from the Arndale, this Northern Quarter cafe is perfect for a healthy shopping break. It features all of our favourite kinds of healthy food, such as banana bread (well, it does contain fruit), smashed avocado and French toast. It’s also ranked 11/1,752 restaurants in Manchester on TripAdvisor, so we really think we’re onto a winner with this one!"

"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"

"Why: This popular spot gets filled up quickly, so it’s worth planning an early breakfast if you have your heart set on dining here. Having been open for over a decade this small cafe has maintained its popularity by serving up good, hearty breakfast dishes. Think fry ups, pancakes and even a breakfast poutine which combines beef dripping chips with sausage gravy, cheese curds, baon, poached eggs and hollandaise."

"Koffee Pot, 84-86 Oldham Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1LE - Visit now. All hail the Koffee Pot. Why do people love it so?"

"Dog Friendly PubThe Wheatsheaf serves up excellent comforting pub food as well as afternoon teas. The pub serves up food 7 days a week from breakfast through to dinner, making it an ideal post-walk stop. The pub can get quite lively in an evening if you're staying nearby."

"It gives me real 60s vibes with the dessert booths, an absolute plethora of ice cream choices, plus so much more from waffles to crepes, cookie dough to delicious cake choices. Wash it all down with creamy rich milkshakes or a nostalgic coke float and you’ll be in an absolute bliss. It can get pretty busy, so give yourself plenty of time to take everything in."

"From banana splits to cones and strawberry sundaes, there's something for everyone here. With waffles and cake, Sundaes Gelato can also be found in Birmingham and Oxford. Customers are in particularly in love with the doughnuts and waffles."

"If it’s vegan treats you’re after, then Elly Joy has you covered. Known (by those in the know) as Sheffield’s premium purveyor of vegan treats, Elly Joy is now available to satisfy your sweet tooth at the Dyson Place development in Sharrow Vale. Indulge in one of her signature froconuts (kind of like an ice cream sitting in a coconut, with all manner of additional goodies), or treat yourself to a doughnot at their weekly pop-ups in the yard."

"Sweet treats with deliciously simple plant-based ingredients. If you’re vegan or follow a gluten-free diet, then Elly Joy is going to be your new home. Everything is so beautifully crafted with a focus on treats but in a much healthier way using ice cream alternative Froconut, a doughnot and even homemade salted caramel brownies."

"Froconut is vegan coconut ‘ice-cream’ served up with a stunning array of toppings at Froconut in Cutlery Works (Kelham Island). If you’ve got a sweet tooth then this is the place for you. Whether you go for their signature ice cream, pancakes or some of their fantastic vegan cakes, you won’t be disappointed."

"Bloc Projects may look unassuming compared to other art galleries in Sheffield, but inside, it features some of the finest contemporary art by new and upcoming artists in the city. It offers a blank canvas for early work contemporary artists to practice their trade by providing cross-disciplinary and participatory learning, meaningful arts engagement, and skills development. Learning is available to anyone, making Bloc Projects a great place to get creative."

"Bloc Projects is an artist-led space in the centre of Sheffield, making it the city’s hottest spot for contemporary art. Bloc Projects has a gallery and a courtyard both filled with art and interesting installations. The gallery actively promotes up-and-coming artists with a focus on experimentation and encouraging interaction between artists and audiences."
