Best French Bakery in Heskin

"As the name indicates, the café is best suited to give you the perfect vibe of being at home. If you are looking for late-night coffee shops in Manchester city centre, then you are good to go here. Along with the yummy coffees, the signature dish is cheeseburger toasties."

"If you’re on the look out for fresh artisan coffee in minimalist, Nordic-inspired surroundings, then stark, hipster hangout Takk is probably the place for you. Undoubtedly a NQ favourite, the coffee at Takk is just as good as the atmosphere, serving ‘North Projekt’ – a Bristol-roasted Nordic Style espresso that forms the basis of all their drinks. It’s definitely a brew to keep the mind sharp, but I heard they feature regular guest espresso too!"

"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."

"A coffee shop that has gone from strength to strength since its opening in 2014, Pot Kettle Black has two locations in Manchester – including Barton Arcade and Spinningfields. The coffee shop is inspired by our friends in Australia and New Zealand, taking pride in coffee culture and experimenting with only the best beans in the game. The chilled coffee shops bring a welcome summer vibe to the city, and if you’re stopping by, we highly recommend you try their bakes too."

"Having won an abundance of awards since it opened, North Tea Power has become a popular spot for the coffee enthusiasts of Manchester. As well as perfectly decorated coffee to keep you motivated, North Tea Power sells an impressive selection of loose-leaf tea, and a bread-heavy menu full of cheese melts and warming soups. Due to its popularity as a brunch spot at the weekends, it’s best to use this as a study spot during the week, when the crowds are substantially fewer."

"A cool, all-day hangout, North Tea Power worships at the altar of breakfast food. The independent coffee shops serves up classics until the early evening; tuck into the likes of bacon sarnies, eggs on toast and porridge, all washed down with a long list of herbal teas."

"North Tea Power, in the centre of Manchester, is dead easy to find. Start at the Market Street tram stop. Turn your back on the Costa and Nero that face you as you step off the tram and gird your loins when you see the Starbucks on the other side of the road."

"What: This trendy neighbourhood hang-out has a vision true to its name (Ezra means ‘helper’ and Gil means ‘happiness’ in Hebrew), and that is to provide a simple, seasonal menu and serve it in a space that's friendly and wholesome. And, judging by its popularity, it manages to fulfil that vision with ease. Housed in a former clothing showroom, this industrial chic café majors in all-day brunch items including various things on sourdough (beans, eggs, preserves etc ), house-baked granola and full-English-type combos, but you’ll also find a selection of salads and poke-style bowls come lunchtime."

"Ezra meaning ‘Helper’ & Gil meaning ‘Happiness’ is an evolutionary concept in urban coffee and cafe culture. A true neighbourhood hang-out with a vision to provide a simple menu, made up of the best food and drinks. Housed in an old un-occupied former clothing showroom on the ground floor in Manchesters Northern quarter."

"One of the Northern Quarter's best cafes has been preparing to open a second site - this time on Peter Street - throughout 2020. The fit-out is ready at the unit, which was once home to a Subway. Glimpses inside the new site show off brushed concrete walls and green velvet booth seating."

"You’ll have to take a trip down Cannon Street to find this gorgeous little cafe, located off the high street. European style food and cafe is served here with a huge selection of fresh sandwiches, toasties and all under £6. The perfect place to have a bite to eat whilst spending you day shopping and running errands."

"The Satterthwaite’s name carries over 100 years of history with it. When the original bakeries closed, pastry lovers of North Liverpool were bereft, but rather than mourning savouries loved and lost, a local couple snapped up this site and are flying the Satterthwaite’s flag. The pasties are great but it’s the pork pies that get people queuing round the block – keep it classic or go wild and try the black pudding, chorizo or pickle specials."

"Formerly known as William Sicilian Street Food, this authentic Sicilian restaurant popped up in the Northern Quarter earlier this year – renamed and reworked as Sicilian NQ. The lovely little restaurant hones in on the idyllic region’s homely food, bringing dishes such as arancini, cannoli, cipollini, pasta and more to our rainy city. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."

"Manchester also has an important history when it comes to war and conflict over the past hundred years. The Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) is an interactive space built solely for the purpose of telling the most vital, powerful stories of war from across the region. The entire structure was built around an impressive, genuine fighter jet!"

"The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only Jewish museum you will find out of London. The Victorian building is Grade II listed and was built in 1874. It is, therefore, the oldest synagogue in Manchester."

"Boasting one of the largest outdoor terrace areas in Manchester for outdoor drinking, The Shambles denotes the area bordered by historic medieval pubs The Old Wellington and Sinclair’s Oyster Bar.
