Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Sparrowpit

"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."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."

"Designed to make you feel right at home, Home Sweet Home is open until 11pm, making it a nice late-night option for coffee lovers. Their trademark dish is the Cheeseburger Toastie, a combination of two of the nation’s favourite dishes. Edge Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1HE@HomeSweetHomeNQ / homesweethomenq.com"

"This place really does feel like home, or rather an American Grandma’s home. It’s Grandma in the USA, in Manchester. Floral wallpaper, little framed pictures dotted on the wall, the smell of fresh baking; you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door."

"Exploring the pot-holed streets of Sheffield on bike, bus or foot really makes you appreciate the character and great community that we are privileged to be a part of; Tamper Coffee is an example of one such community. It’s a hive of activity and creative energy that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead, whatever it may hold!. So why not pop down to Arundel Street or Westfield Terrace and become part their community."

"Few places manage to do breakfast, brunch, lunch and evening meals (once a week – on a Friday) as well as one another but this New Zealand eatery somehow manages it. Excellent coffee, craft beer, daily specials and a Kiwi-themed menu (including their greatly adored mince on toast) all make Tamper a city favourite. If you like cheese then you should also keep an eye out for their "homage to fromage" evenings."

"On a cold winter’s day, there are few more heartening sights out in Sheffield than Steam Yard’s steaming coffee and welcoming interior. It’s little wonder that they’ve been recognised inside and outside the city for their quality. In addition to their great range of carefully-sourced coffee, Steam Yard also offers a fantastic range of accompanying baked goods too (including cheesecake brownies and intriguing kronuts)."

"If you’re looking for a stopover for a quick coffee and a croissant in the morning, this bakery turned café has everything a coffeeholic would ask for. Make sure you visit during non-peak times as it can get quite busy during lunch and breakfast hours. Try the tiffin, it’s one of the best bakes they have to offer."

"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??"

"This is a cosmopolitan food hall in a beautiful Grade II listed former market building, on the edge of Manchester’s famous Northern Quarter. It’s the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and/or drinks!. Along with a handful of food vendors, there’s a coffee shop and wine bar within the hall – so in fact you could spend a whole day there without stepping out from under the amazing glass roof!"

"Why: Housing a café and bar as well as an event and exhibition space, this trendy Manchester breakfast spot serves up tasty plates of crowd-pleasing combinations. The works of art on the walls are reflected on the plate with pretty presentation coming as standard. Tuck into toasted banana bread with butter and house-made chocolate spread or take things up a level with green eggs that see two crispy fried eggs served with griddled avocado, spinach and sourdough toast."

"Sure, Prestwich may not rival Ancoats when it comes to food and drink, but there’s a lovely bunch of indie joints that are well worth the 20-minute tram from the city centre. Our favourite is All The Shapes, a casual bar-restaurant-café serving up fun, family-friendly vibes. Their speciality coffee is best enjoyed with a wedge of cake on their pretty, sun-soaked terrace (yes, sometimes the sun shines in Manchester)."

"You're sure to get a good Manchester breakfast at All the Shapes. This spot has been making a name for itself in the brunch scene for a few years now. It's not hard to see why with their extensive menu of delicious foods."

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

"Specialising in flapjacks, a kind of torte cake, they offer different type and flavours guaranteed to tempt even your picky palate. All of their products are hand-made in small batches so you can be sure that it’s baked fresh every time you get one. Using only gluten-free and organic oats as well as real fruit and high fruit content jams, you can ensure that these sweet treats are not only good and tasty but also healthy."

"It’s half-deli, half-bakery, with a wide selection of pies, sausage rolls, cakes, pastries and freshly baked loaves. Alongside its famous hot roast carvery rolls, it’s worth having a go at the full English Vienna. For just £6, they’ll fill a bap bigger than your head with hand made pork sausages, rindless back bacon, hash brown, egg, black pudding, spam, mushrooms, tomatoes and/or beans."

"Nestled between Manchester Cathedral, the National Football Museum, the Corn Exchange, and Chetham’s School of Music are Cathedral Gardens Manchester. It is a new park but provides a great escape if you are in the Manchester city centre and want to take a breath. It is a regenerated area with a water feature that changes with seasons and concrete sitting areas and is now one of Manchester’s best parks."
