"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."
"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"
"We love a good technical challenge on GBBO, and whose mind was blown when you saw how bagels were made!. Boiling bread before baking it seems ludacris but the result of a well-baked bagel is heaven. At Bagelry the team bring a wide variety of the ring-shaped delights to diners prepared in the traditional Jewish style, Americanised versions as well as their own gastronomic concoctions."
"Liverpool’s first ever Bagelry opened its doors back in 2015. It can be found on Nelson Street, which may explain why some people still aren't aware it exists. Anyone who hasn't been here NEEDS to go."
"Liverpool and beyond, the bagel-shaped hole in your life has now been filled. A real labour of love goes into the bagels and that’s the reason we’re hooked."
"TAKK is one of Manchester’s best independent coffee houses, with three spots scattered throughout the city centre. Providing locals and visitors with a warm and welcoming space to work and meet, TAKK takes its inspiration from the laid-back lifestyle in Scandinavia and Iceland. Their coffee is great, and their food is simple and delicious."
"Takk is a Scandinavian coffee shop very famous for the Nordic style espresso. This is one of the best options among Manchester cafés northern quarter. The ambience reflects the exact Scandinavian theme, where lightning and interior are correctly chosen to make you feel cosy."
"Takk is a simple room in the Northern Quarter that’s been pushing the Manchester coffee scene forward for years. Stripped backbenches and a room full of co-workers sipping drinks from their big wholesome mugs. Great simple breakfast options too."
"An elaborate vine leaf design, reminiscent of Grimm’s fairy tale illustrations, leads the way up a stairwell to a narrow double doorway in the same red-violet hue that gives access to the café – a large attic filled with wooden tables and all the ambiance of a monastery refectory. The barrier between stranger and friend is often lost here, over delicious and affordable food."
"Liverpool’s Premier Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurant, situated in the city centre at 16-18 Newington, off Bold St and Renshaw Street. Vegetarian and vegan food in airy loft with exposed girders, mezzanine floor and gallery space. New revamped menu coming soon and we cannot wait to sample it!"
"Inside may be snug and cosy with hearty American-diner inspired food, but it’s the mural that graces the outside of the Koffee Pot that is just begging to be photographed. Be respectful, as this beautiful piece of street art is a memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack at the Ariana Grande concert, but it’s also a reminder of Manchester’s sense of community, demonstrated through the worker bee emblem. Koffee Pot, 84-86 Oldham St, Manchester, UK"
"Impossible to miss thanks to the bright orange sign, Koffee Pot has a slight grunge feel to it and a legion of dedicated fans. Touring musicians flock here for their breakfasts; the bacon butties are legendry in Manchester and cost a mere £2!. Looking like it is stuck in the 1960’s with graffiti on the walls, leather seats, and squeezy sauces, many people peer in and walk past, onto somewhere a little more ‘hip’ but this is a big mistake!"
"The Koffee Pot is a Mancunian institution that’s been serving up hearty no-nonsense British classics to the good people of Manchester for the last decade. Their fry-ups have been known to cure the worst of hangovers and their smoked kippers, haddock rarebit and haggis have made the Koffee Pot the go-to-caff for lunches, brunches and all-day breakfasts. 84-86 Oldham St, Manchester M4 1LE"

"Located in the Northern Quarter, The Bay Horse Pub serves up hearty pub grub including pies, pizzas and wraps.
