"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."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"A post shared by The Bagelry (@bagelrypool) on Dec 13, 2018 at 11:38pm PST. These aren’t just your average stack."
"With the main space in the Northern Quarter and a funky outpost in one of Hatch’s shipping containers, this sleek coffee shop is an ode to Scandinavia. The owners are obsessed with all things Nordic (particularly Reykjavik), so opened this ode to the region complete with the house Nordic Style espresso (roasted by Clifton Coffee in Bristol), cosy ‘hygge’ vibes and trendy baristas. At the Oxford Road shop, there’s a more contemporary Scandinavian them, with a turquoise coffee machine, plenty of blonde wood and funky grey tiles create a calm backdrop to enjoy your coffee, or purchase one of the handy reusable cups and get an iced coffee to take away."
"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."
"Nordic inspired Takk on Tariff Street is one of the longer standing coffee shops on this list. Takk is a firm favourite of ours for grabbing a coffee before or after a trip to Piccadilly station. It’s also a great spot to while away an afternoon over good coffee and even better cake."
"The Egg Café, or as it’s locally known, the Egg is a vegetarian restaurant located just off Bold Street. Vegetarian and Veganism is a growing dietary choice and many are choosing this lifestyle because of the health benefits it offers. The Egg is a restaurant a little different from the rest, nestled along a back street and up a couple of flights of stairs you’ll be welcomed into this loft restaurant which is light, airy and a little bit hippy."
"Egg Cafe is a plant-based based in a renovated Victorian warehouse. You’ll see the elaborately coloured door and staircase leading to the third floor before anything else. Full of natural light and colour The Egg Cafe is a large, welcoming space with long wooden tables which you can share if you want."
"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."
"Some of you gave the thumbs up to the 'personal service and excellent coffee' at Forty Six on Lower Bridge Street."
"The perfect location for a post-shopping pick-me-up, San Carlo Gran Cafe is located in the Exchange Square Selfridges and serves up a range of light bites, brunches and authentic Italian cakes. The crown jewel here is their homemade tiramisu, which fronts dreamy layers of coffee, sponge and mascarpone cream and pairs perfectly with a strong espresso or a cold glass of fizz. San Carlo's tiramisu is proving that some recipes just don't need updating."
"Matchsticks Café Bar and Bistro on Broughton Lane serves up British, breakfast and brunch items. The cafe is child-friendly and offers table service, takeaway service and group or party bookings. Previous menu items have included pancakes with sausage, berries and maple syrup; poached eggs with bacon, spinach and toast and poached egg; and smashed avocado on toast"
