Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Thurlow

"Home sweet home is an American style diner with variety of tantalising dessert options on the menu. Not only that but if you really do want to follow the parents advice of no desserts before your meal, this is the perfect place due to the impressive savoury options on the menu, including toasties, tacos, eggs, bacon, waffles, fried chicken and steak. The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings."

"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."

"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."

"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."

"What these guys can’t tell you about bagels simply isn’t worth knowing. With every flavour and variety under the sun of our favourite baked snack, how they display them is every bit as delightful as eating them. Let’s face it, if you didn’t take a photo of your rainbow bagel, did you even eat it?"

"If you’re looking for a no-frills working space where you can buy a classic black coffee with milk on the side, or a perfectly steamed almond milk flat white, Takk is for you. Located in the northern quarter, this reasonably priced café is extremely popular with students and digital nomads looking for somewhere to knuckle down for a few hours. The bench-style seating means you’ll always have a space to work and you might even meet a few fellow students on the way."

"Nordic inspired, TAKK is the result of the founders travels throughout Scandinavia and Iceland. The slick interior and minimalist design scream quality while also an enticing level of comfort. Their house espresso is a single origin coffee from Finca Miravalle in El Salvador, while regularly featuring guest espresso from some of the best roasters in Europe and further afield."

"TAKK, 6 Tariff Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 2FF - Visit now. You may know Takk as a coffee hang-out, but this Icelandic-inspired spot is also a great place to enjoy a working lunch. Check out the satisfying range of Mediterranean sandwiches, flaky pastries and chunks of cake on offer throughout the day."

"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."

"When you think of Liverpool’s great vegetarian cafes, Egg is always up there, alongside the much missed Mello Mello. A hike up the stairs on Newington, just off Bold Street, Egg is still well worth a visit. With quirky decor, open mic nights, poetry readings and a set menu so hearty you’ll be taking pudding home in a doggy bag, it’s a Liverpool institution."

"Town House Coffee and Brew Bar provides a fresh and modern surrounding down Preston's Friargate. The café serve up some seriously tasty dishes for breakfast and lunch, many with vegan alternatives which don't skimp on the flavour. All this can be washed down with vegan teas, coffees, and smoothies."

"27/05/2021: I only had a spare 40 minutes for dinner on a training day I was on in Preston. I went in to just get some chips and a cold coffee and the chips..."

Zara makes customised bakes for every occasion and her shop in Prestwich whips up everything from mini cupcakes to full size dream cakes. You can personalise every morsel and they excel when it comes to fluffy centres and decadent flavours."

"Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a single cake. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get beautiful cakes on a budget. Zara Cakes is your best choice if you don’t want to sacrifice quality."

"Nestled away on Petticoat Lane, just off the hustle and bustle of Bold Street, The Nakery is a fantastic healthy eating spot specialising in raw nourishing treats. The owner of The Nakery, Natalie, had no previous baking background and found inspiration from online healthy treat experts all over the world. She began to create her own recipes based on the new knowledge she had learnt."

"Bursting with colour, this small shop on the outskirts of China Town and close to both the Petit Cafe Du Coin and the Bombed Out Church, is a vegan, raw cake & drink shop. They sell a lovely turmeric latte and a range of power smoothies too (we like the red one) but their big selling point is the raw cakes. Which are phenomenal."
