Liverpool’s Own Star Bakers: The best bakeries in Liverpool
"Bright, friendly, and with stacks upon stacks of homemade doughnuts: there aren’t many places we’d rather spend an afternoon than Siop Shop. If you can drag your gaze away from the perfectly plump sweet treats – the dreamy flavours include millionaire shortbread and chai topped with pecan nuts – then there’s a stonking coffee selection to explore, too."
"Dessert fans visiting Manchester shouldn’t have without trying the best doughnuts in town. Mine was filled with blackcurrant cheesecake (minus the base) and was probably the best £2 I’ve ever spent. Where: SiOP SHOP cafe on Tibb Street and at the Makers Market held in the Northern Quater on the second Sunday of each month."
"This micro-bakery is tucked away just off Hardman Street but you really do not want to miss it. Perhaps my favourite of the bakeries I visited, this tiny little shop has the most incredible looking sourdough loaves, doughnuts in every flavour you can imagine and the friendliest staff. I can see why there is so much hype in the city around this place, the doughnuts are just that good – my mum even felt the need to tell the girls working there that it was ‘the best doughnut she’s ever had’."
"Supplying freshly baked goods to the most popular eateries in the city as well as operating a charming café of their own, Wild Loaf are among our favourite bakeries in Liverpool. Not only do they have a reputation for making top-notch sourdough bread but their uniquely flavoured doughnuts bring in crowds from far and wide. Try anything from Cheesecake filled doughnut, freshly baked cinnamon rings and the refreshing yet flavoursome Lemon and pecan creations."
"This mico-bakery specialises in naturally leavened organic sourdough breads, extravagant doughnuts and beautiful sandwiches. They are currently only operating an online delivery service which you can find out more about on their website. View this post on Instagram"
"A Tafford Centre pit stop isn’t the same without some warm topped cookie dough!. My Cookie Dough has reopened at the shopping centre – returning with a large list of flavours to try from Red Velvet to Fudge & Honeycomb (which you can customise by adding your own choice of toppings and ice cream). My Cookie Dough also launched a Build Your Own kit which you can have delivered straight to your doorstep containing all the ingredients you need to make enjoy your My Cookie Dough experience at home."
"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester. Their Slutty Brownie stacks are a mouthwatering mess of chocolate brownie, crushed Oreos and their house cookie mix, served up as chunky slabs and coated in a hefty drizzle of Nutella. With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."
"🍰 Seriously gooey hot cookie dough, with tons of topping options to choose from including Nutella, Biscoff, Red Velvet, Kinder and even Strawberry Cheesecake."
"Early adopters of the industrial-chic aesthetic that is now seen all over the city and elsewhere, Gorilla has for many, many years been effortlessly cool. Both a bar and club venue, it can fit any kind of night and its club has hosted huge artists and DJs and continues to attract big talent to their small back room. It’s as diverse as you’d expect from a Manc music venue, hosting nights like IAMARAVER, Swiftageddon and Soul Jam"
"A gig venue and late-night bar, Gorilla is also a surprisingly good casual dining space, open from 9am at weekends. The various elements of that eggs Benedict (£5.50) are bright, fresh, pin-sharp. The full English, meanwhile, comes with Gorilla's own-recipe sausages (made by renowned Chorlton butcher WH Frost) and quality bacon from over the border in Cheshire."
"Gorilla, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 5WW - Visit now. Gorilla’s main selling point is their giant ‘royal’ sized full English breakfasts which come in vegan and veggie varieties too. Sometimes size really does matter, especially if you’re hungover and hungry."
"This simple, intimate dining room in the Northern Quarter is relaxed and friendly, with exposed wooden floors and grand windows showcasing the famous Smithfield fish markets. An accomplished modern British menu focuses on local seasonal ingredients such as slow-cooked pork belly with pork cheek bon bon, and market fish stew."
"The Northern Quarter Restaurant (TNQ), 108 High Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1HQ - Visit now. For dependable, modern British dining, the simply-named Northern Quarter Restaurant is worth a punt."
"This gorgeous Northern Quarter restaurant is a long-standing favourite of the area. It’s seen many other restaurants come and go around it, but TNQ has stayed put. Find British classics served with a twist in a relaxed but formal setting."
"Every Saturday and Sunday between 12pm – 4pm you can get bottomless brunch which includes any dish from the brunch menu and bottomless selected drinks for just £25 per person. Said dishes include the classic full English and some American favourites such as waffles and pancakes!. There are also some great vegan options too, including a Full English and ‘veggs benny,’ a take on eggs benedict."
"A true bargain spot in the Northern Quarter, Black Dog Ballroom always has a host of deals on come lunchtime in Manchester. On Mondays, food is 50% off, while throughout the week, they stick on a £6 lunch deal, which includes tasty bites such as pepperoni pizza and cheeseburgers."
"This New York Style bar offers some of the most satisfying meals in the city. If you fancy yourself a proper sausage, then this is the restaurant for you. And with a variety of vegan options, this restaurant is one everyone can enjoy."
"Cool NQ bar The Quarter House has got in on the action for the final stages of the Euros, with a big screen in the bar for fans to watch. The bar is operating on a walk-in basis only, so you’ll have to get there early to avoid disappointment."
