Best French Bakery in Ashton-under-Lyne

"Created by a diversion of the River Don, Kelham is a manmade island over 900 years old. Kelham Island is today the home of the industrial museum in Sheffield, showcasing and documenting centuries of scientific and industrial innovation in the city. The museum contains reconstructed workshops, functional 19th-century steam engines, a vast photographic collection and numerous artefacts representing a significant industrial history that has an impact on the whole world."

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."

"If you’ve been dreaming of New Zealand’s famous café culture but can’t quite manage to jet yourself off to the other side of the world, head over to Tamper instead. Their two locations in Sheffield city centre are both Kiwi-inspired so make for a relaxed meal or coffee. They haven’t forgotten their location in Sheffield however, with industrial-cool interior – think reclaimed wooden benches, hanging plants and exposed brick."

Bringing the best of Kiwi cafe culture to the Steel City, Tamper Coffee is a bit of a Sheffield institution these days, and now has two locations just 10 minutes apart. Their healthy and modern yet totally tempting brunch menu is great for vegetarians, and even has a few options for vegans."

"tamper: coffee only uses freshly roasted beans from South Yorkshire’s expert roasters. Set up by Jonathan Perry, he has recreated a slice of contemporary New Zealand café culture in the heart of Sheffield."

"Having just come second for ‘Best Cheap Eats’ in the North, in The Guardian Observer Food Monthly Awards, tucked away just off the indie metropolis that is Division Street, Steam Yard is rapidly becoming one of the most popular places in the city for great coffee and donuts. Inhabiting what used to be an old silverworks building, it is positioned at the back of a pretty courtyard between a tattoo parlour and costume shop. There is an intimate café atmosphere both inside and outside, where you can really take in the aesthetic of the traditional building."

"Tucked away in a small courtyard, Steam Yard feels like an off-the-beaten-path gem, though it's a regular haunt with local coffee connoisseurs and foodies. Whether you want a coffee and donut on the fly or fancy hunkering down over a lovely Brunch for a couple of hours, Steam Yard offers it all. The pretty courtyard area is often filled with punters and their canine pals and is the perfect spot for people-watching."

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – If you’re vegan, a lover of coffee and crave a peanut butter brownie then look no further than the Steam Yard. Eating cake just somehow got better!. Plus the brownies have nuts in, so surely that’s one of your five a day, right??"

"With three shops across Manchester, this Icelandic-inspired independent coffee shop is definitely popular with the locals (including me!). The artisan coffee shop is another perfect spot to sit down with your laptop and get some work done while sipping away on some of the tastiest coffees in Manchester: TAKK knows their coffees. Their house roast is a single-origin coffee from Finca Miravalle in El Salvador and they feature some of the best guest-roasts from all across Europe."

"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."

"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."

"Treatz dessert parlour on London Road has some unique treats in stock including waffle baskets and chocolate sushi. There's also Italian gelato ice cream and cakes and what makes this store even better, is that you can order through Just Eat."

"Java Bar Espresso is Manchester’s oldest independent coffee shop. ‘Java’ being the slang word for ‘coffee’ in the states, incorporating Italian coffee and a European past, this is one historical coffee shop you’ll want to visit. Located in Victoria Station, this place opens especially early just for you on your way into work, and closes late for those of you making your way home."

"Using seasonal ingredients, Brewers Fayre The Hunsworth boasts a menu of traditional pub dishes. Varied sharing platters are served alongside tempting nibbles and British favourites. Hearty breakfasts are also available for early risers, while…"

"Praised for its “guilty pleasure” food, Good Food clearly love a good old dirty burger at Manchester’s Almost Famous. They say: “Love or loathe its loud and lairy, ‘in-yer-face additood’, there is no denying that Almost Famous is Manchester’s foremost exponent of Frazzle-dusted fries, hot ‘pho-king’ wings and other gut-busting ‘dude food’."

Often overshadowed by Sheffield’s Millennium and Graves Galleries, Cupola has grown to become one of the largest and most well-respected contemporary art spaces in the north. Established in 1991, it boasts four gallery spaces (which house the varied work of more than 300 artists), and an award-winning sculpture garden."
