Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Stretton

"Home Sweet Home has grown from humble beginnings to many locals’ favourite eatery that now boasts two locations in the city. Whether you opt to eat in the original Northern Quarter branch or the newer venue in Great Northern, expect a huge focus on dessert alongside the equally impressive savoury menu. The ice-cream shakes hark back to the 1950s in the best possible way, American style pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat and their deep dish cookie pie is to die for – and that’s not even mentioning the incredible array of colourful sugar-covered pimped out cakes that sit tantalisingly in their dessert bar."

"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."

"Since opening in 2013 The Bagelry has helped fill a bagel shaped hole in the city. The Chinatown store is dedicated to hand crafted boiled and baked bagels, offering American and Jewish varieties, alongside their own gourmet and seasoned flavoured bagels. There’s black forest bagels, cinnamon raisin bagels, blueberry bagels, salted jalapeño bagels and beetroot bagels to name but a few."

"The Bagerly specialises in, you guessed it, bagels, and they know how to make a good one over here. Nelson Street’s favourite bakery makes all their round shaped food fresh on site with loads of different flavours and rainbow bagels on the weekend!. You can also find some pretty impressive doughnuts here too alongside great coffee."

"Before the arrival of The Bagelry we just felt like there was something missing in Liverpool. We can’t really explain it, there was just a certain hollow to us as we navigated our way through the labyrinth of the city. A bagel-shaped hole two best friends fulfilled a couple years ago."

"Everyone knows that everything Scandinavian is cool, from their lights to their murder mystery TV to, well, their weather. The Scandinavian theming of this Manchester cafe isn’t entirely clearly drawn – not sure a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich is traditionally Scandinavian – but the laidback interior is very Scandi, as is the giant map of Iceland on the wall. Wear a heavily patterned jumper if you want to hammer home the theme."

"Pop into Takk on a weekday, and it looks like an Apple store that’s let itself go. It’s the preferred working space for media types in the Northern Quarter, a testament to its top notch offering of brews and bites. Coffee fans should also head to Takk's latest launch on Oxford Road's own indie shopping site Hatch, where where they serve brews shoulder-to-shoulder with a stellar line up of local food traders."

"TAKK, 6 Tariff Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 2FF - Visit now. An Icelandic coffee bar on the edge of the Northern Quarter"

"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."

"What to expect: A vegetarian and vegan cafe in Liverpool with a bohemian atmosphere. Arguably the most established of vegetarian restaurants in Liverpool, The Egg Cafe is a go-to spot for those who love hearty veggie and vegan food with a homemade feel. The bohemian hideout can be found in a cosy loft space, perfect for a bite to eat at lunch or a spotlit dinner."

"The Egg Vegetarian Cafe is a premier vegetarian and vegan restaurant in the city. All the menus that they have are plant-based and are sourced locally. They offer a wide array of meals and sides from breakfast, all-day favourites, soup, desserts and many others."

"If you're craving tempting treats of both the sweet and savoury variety, look no further than Hanky Panky Pancakes. This family-run establishment is a gem for Chester, and they offer over 2,000 mouthwatering varieties of pancakes and crepes - with vegan and vegetarian choices to boot. You can create your own choice of toppings, but popular choices are banoffee and Nutella,rocky road or even the classic lemon and sugar."

"Hanky Panky Pancakes, nestled just off Bridge Street in Commonhall Street you will see its bright yellow canopy and brightly coloured outdoor seating from a mile off. Hanky Panky Pancakes was created from the owner Stephen’s love of pancakes that he got from his dad. From the menu you can see the vast variety of pancakes you can choose from."

"Next up on our guide to the very best places to enjoy a Sunday Lunch Liverpool style is Olive Bar and Restaurant. On Sundays, this popular eatery takes a break from creating their traditional Italian inspired delicacies to prepare a Sunday roast to rival even the best-home cooked wonders of your childhood. Pick from perfectly prepared pork, the best cuts of beef or half a chicken and enjoy the succulent meats with a healthy helping of the crispiest roast potatoes, tonnes of proper gravy, carrot and swede mash."

"About: Cute, kitsch and cosy - Hey Little Cupcake is a super-sweet cupcakery and tea room serving Manchester's finest selection of freshly baked Cupcakes, Cakepops and Brownies. Treats can either be ordered to take-away or enjoyed in the cafe's cosy in or outdoor seating areas. The mini bite-sized cupcakes are perfect for a spontaneous treat."

"This week we launch the Easter Collection… here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come. #HeyLittleCupcake#Easter#Cupcakepic.twitter.com/YS1ZL46gEi. — Hey Little Cupcake!"

"As the name suggests, their small cupcakes are really delicious. Like New York’s famous cupcakes. They create a work of art."

"Cavern Walks – Shopping Centre offers a full shopping experience with the many shops and outlets that they have. From health and beauty to jewellery and accessories, ladies and men’s fashion and food and drink outlets, you would certainly complete all the things that you are looking for from your shopping list. A wonderful retail destination where you can find all good finds from the leading brands in the market, they guarantee a fun shopping experience for you and your family."

"One of Liverpool’s favourite shopping destinations, Cavern Walks is home to more than just your usual high street fashion brands. With a rich mix of retailers offering boutique fashion, one-off creations and bespoke pieces, Cavern Walks is a great place to shop if you’re after something you can’t pick up on the high street. It’s not all shops either, with food and drink vendors aplenty, you can find everything from small-batch coffee to a tasty snack."

"Bright clean little shopping centre where you can see the Beatles statue. Leads onto Mathew Street where you have The Cavern, Cilla's statue. Worth nipping down into the Cavern to see all the memorabilia."

"You know when you’re watching an American movie and you can’t focus on what the characters are saying because you’re too busy drooling over the massive, delicious spread laid out on their dining table?. Well, we’re pleased to inform you (if you haven’t heard already) that Brits can have their fair share of totally indulgent American breakfasts right here in Liverpool, like, for real!. Moose Coffee offers authentic American and Canadian inspired dishes that are as comforting and impressive as any you’d find in New York diners and delis!"

"As soon as you walk in to Moose you are instantly captivated by the chandeliers made out of antlers and can’t help but crack a smile upon noticing the paintings of famoose (we had to) historical figures with a moose’s head in the place of these notable character’s heads. Moose’s interior may be all fun and games but their coffee isn’t a laughing matter. Moose is one of the most popular breakfast and brunch spots in Liverpool for early birds and late bloomers and it’s for very good reason."

"Stepping up from our UK favourite of lemon and sugar, Moose Coffee offers classic American style toppings for their made in-store secret recipe pancakes. Our cousins across the pond love their bacon and maple syrup, as well as the good old blueberry stack and Moose, make these by the bucket load, selling over 660,000 a year. You can opt for their more creative topping options, such as spiced apple and salted caramel or granola and peanut butter."

"As the name suggests, the staff and team at the Mad Hatters Tearoom and Bakery surely love the funnier and quirkier side of things. For them, life is simply a cup of tea. You can genuinely tell that they pride themselves on creating a warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment for you and your partner to escape the stress and anxiety that typically comes with the everyday hustle and bustle of life."

"Mad Hatter’s is nestled away on the Bridge Street Rows and is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. However, it’s definitely worth seeking it out. Mad Hatter’s has featured on various TV programmes and for good reason too – the eccentric details and Wonderland theme is really something to get excited about."
