Some Of The Best Cheap Eats In Liverpool – Independent Liverpool
"What: With two locations – one in Barton Arcade and one in Spinningfields – this speciality coffee and brunch spot has proven it’s a popular choice for all occasions, whether it’s a quick coffee catch up, business meeting or lazy weekend brunch. Folk tend to come here for an exceptional brew served with a smile, but food oughtn’t be overlooked. Colourful plates of breakfast and brunch classics, from egg and avo on toast to fluffy French toast and corn fritters are just some of the tasty offerings Pot Kettle Black serves alongside a range of vegan and gluten-free options."
"Pot Kettle Black, Unit 14, Barton Arcade Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 2BW - Visit now. For breakfast, brunch and lunch, there are few better places than Pot Kettle Black. One of the highlights of Manchester’s recently-revitalised Barton Arcade, this bright breezy space serves up traditional daytime fare with a twist (the eggs benedict with paprika-cured pork loin is a must-try)."
"Deansgate’s Barton Arcade plays host to Pot Kettle Black – a glass fronted coffee haven that has Mancunians flocking from all over the city. I’m yet to see PKB empty, which is testament to their consistently high standards and some of the best coffee in the City. Also a sanctuary for freelancers I’m not the first to have spent an entire day in PKB, keeping fuelled by their beverages and snacks and I’m positive that I won’t be the last."
"Just a block down the street from the mighty North Tea Power, and a few steps along Oldham Street from its junction with Church Street, is relative newcomer to Manchester’s coffee scene, Fig + Sparrow. Established in 2013, it’s half life-style shop, half café, but 100% excellent. Serving an espresso-based menu using beans from London’s Climpson and Sons, with guest filters on Aeropress and Chemex, plus loose-leaf tea from Newcastle’s Ringtons, Fig + Sparrow also does food."
"A coffee shop located in Manchester’s hipster northern quarter and contender for the city’s best latte art is Fig and Sparrow. What makes this charming coffee shop stand out is its local produce, sourcing everything from coffee beans to salad leaves from local producers in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint. For this reason, the salad-based menu is rather small, but always delicious."
"Half coffee shop, half homewares, all stunning - Fig and Sparrow is a dainty café with design as beautiful as the latte art. From their tiny bar they serve an impressive range of coffees and teas. Flat whites are always meticulous, and it’s worth dipping your beak into their pour-over range."
"Independently owned and dedicated to supplying great food and drink, Clockworks offers indulgently decadent breakfasts that really hit the spot. Using the finest ingredients without cutting corners on quality, you can enjoy filling food in a 200 year old building with an industrial look and the feel of a cosy cocktail bar. Menu favourites include candied belly bacon, wilted spinach and red pepper filled hash browns, Stornaway black pudding and a selection of freshly made vanilla waffles."
"This popular antipodean cafe drags loyal Northern Quarter locals out of bed at the weekend for its epic brunches. Emily’s homemade banana bread is treacly and dark, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg with a fragrant vanilla mascarpone. If you’re really hungry, the hefty French toast is very popular, laden with homemade summer berry compote, almonds, whipped vanilla mascarpone and salted caramel; while corn fritters with a choice of toppings make a worthy savoury choice."
"A fantastic cafe with a couple of locations in the city, Federal was founded by an English and Portuguese couple that have created an Australian-Esque brunch experience. The sexy vibes and laid back culture make federal a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy Manchester weekend. They have an extensive breakfast and brunch menu which includes a wonderful mix of great homemade food and coffee from Ozone coffee roasters in London."
"Federal Cafe, Basil Chambers, 9 Nicholas Croft, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1EY - Visit now. A New Zealand and Australian style café with incredible coffee, brunch, drinks and lunch options (plus: nice interior design)."
"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."
"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."
"One of the best places to eat pizza in Manchester, Proove is a firm choice for alfresco dinners in the warmer months. Get stuck onto freshly baked Neapolitan slices in their cosy terrace space on a chilled out date or long-awaited catch-up with pals."
"I swear that the good people of Manchester were waiting for me to leave… I’d been visiting for the inaugural Cup North back in 2014 and no sooner had I left, than it seemed a slew of new coffee shops opened, led by Federal Café & Bar, which, by the way, does what it says on the tin. By day, it’s a café, while by night, it morphs into a bar, although, as I discovered, the staff will happily serve you coffee long into the night (and, I suspect, alcohol during the day). The coffee side of the equation is handled by Kiwi transplants, Ozone, supplying the Hodson blend and decaf on espresso, with a couple of single-origins on pour-over, impressive when you consider the (lack of) available space."
"Situated just along from the Arndale, this Northern Quarter cafe is perfect for a healthy shopping break. It features all of our favourite kinds of healthy food, such as banana bread (well, it does contain fruit), smashed avocado and French toast. It’s also ranked 11/1,752 restaurants in Manchester on TripAdvisor, so we really think we’re onto a winner with this one!"
"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"
"This award-winning craft beer bar is situated in the relaxing Spring Gardens. There, you’ll find an array of incredible beers in a wide variety of styles, ranging from the hoppiest of ales straight through to the dark and sour Jolly Pumpkin specials. Their beer list is almost too extensive to make sense of, so it’s best you head there yourself and start to sample all of their delicious craft beers."
"23/05/2021: A very warm welcome at La Boheme at lunchtime today. The staff were very warm and courteous and the food divine as always. I can not speak highly enough of this lovely French restaurant."
"About: Serving you sushi off the belt, Wasabi is brilliant for casual lunches, and you can even order online - which we do pretty often, as it goes!. Alongside all of your favourites from sea, Wasabi boasts an impressive menu of classic Japanese dishes including chicken katsu curry and seared beef soba noodles. Affordable and reliable, Wasabi is perfect for first timers and sushi connoisseurs alike."
"Wasabi is a sushi and noodle bar that offers an extensive menu that is authentically Japanese in taste and flavour. They have 2 restaurants in Manchester that are located in Chinatown and Printworks. Available for dine-in, collection and delivery, you can definitely try their delicious offerings at your own convenience."
