"Pot Kettle Black has created a special menu especially for Pancake Day. Simply pop by their hatch on Tuesday to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch pancakes from 10am to 3pm. There’ll be pancakes topped with streaky bacon, fried egg and maple syrup; raspberry coulis and white chocolate mascarpone; and honeycomb, milk chocolate and butterscotch sauce."
"Well, we think you should venture on down to Pot Kettle Black located in Barton Arcade. Whether you want to fill that hole in your tummy, or just need your coffee-fix, this place has got you covered. Let their talented Baristas make you a cup of coffee that will take you to beverage heaven."
"Located in the beautiful Barton Arcade, you can find one of my all-time favourite coffee spots: Pot Kettle Black. They have another shop in Spinningfield, but this one is my favourite. Probably because of the beautiful interior of both the cafe and the stylish Barton Arcade."
"Another city centre spot perfect for working in, Fig + Sparrow is incredibly warm and welcoming, with some outdoor seating allowing guests to take in the hustle and bustle of city life. Serving up top-quality coffee that they sourced from the North East, Fig + Sparrow also sells gifts and design products, too – a great little touch to the cosy independent cafe. Fig + Sparrow, 20 Oldham St, M1 1JA."
"Fig and Sparrow, 20 Oldham Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 1JN - Visit now. This design-store-cum-coffee-bar ticks two boxes at once; shopping for beautiful gifts, and sipping a well-crafted coffee. The interior is warm and welcoming with a stripped-back, Scandinavian vibe."
"Like many others, you might mistake Fig & Sparrow for a quirky trinket shop. But you’d be very wrong. Nestled to the rear of this popular independent lifestyle store is a quaint coffee shop that offers some outstanding beverages."
"Clockworks dabble in proper British grub, from an early-morning fry-up right round to a traditional Sunday Roast all. Meaty Brunch dishes on offer include ham hock benedict or a juicy pork belly on sourdough. Veggies need not worry as there are a range of waffles, veggie breakfasts and hearty porridge and granola bowls on offer."
"Not only does Clockworks boast a menu of black pudding bon bons, ham hock terrine and shepherd's pie made with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, but the restaurant is also home to a patio area that's perfect for alfresco drinks and outdoor dining in Liverpool."
"Clockworks is a real hidden gem, with amazing food and a lovely outdoor space. We wouldn’t mind spending all summer here."
"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 is best known for their weekend brunches when customers cram in and queues are often out the door. Their coffee though stands on its own as one of the best cups in the city. Throw in great cocktails and there really is something for everybody here."
"From the team behind Brewski comes Manchester's first Chicago deep-dish pizza restarurant. Pizza dough here is made with garlic butter and parmesan, then stuffed to the brim with oozy mozzarella, marinara sauce and all sorts of meaty toppings. They've been open for takeaway for a few months but will officially open the doors to their Mosley Street restaurant on May 19."
"Based in the Northern Quarter, this café serves breakfast and lunch dishes including a large range of hot dishes. One TripAdvisor traveller said: “I usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."
"If you're craving tempting treats of both the sweet and savoury variety, look no further than Hanky Panky Pancakes. This family-run establishment is a gem for Chester, and they offer over 2,000 mouthwatering varieties of pancakes and crepes - with vegan and vegetarian choices to boot. You can create your own choice of toppings, but popular choices are banoffee and Nutella,rocky road or even the classic lemon and sugar."
"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."
"🍰 Basically, cheesecake on steroids – frozen, popped on a stick, and topped with tons of delectable toppings, with flavours ranging from mint chocolate, Kinder Bueno, S’mores, Oreo, Lotus Biscoff and so much more."
"Set in the hipster Baltic Triangle, SIREN offers delicious, aesthetically pleasing plates of food and indulgent hot chocs that are basically like a hug in a mug. If you’re in need of a little something special to kickstart your day, then this spacious, elegant restaurant is perfect. Late-risers can also get their energy fix as their incredible breakfasts and brunches are served all day!"
"Situated on St James Street inside The Women’s Organisation, is Siren, the dream of life-long friends. Bright and spacious windows give the space a real natural light and is a lovely place to watch the world go by. For just over £6 you can get yourself a big hunk of halloumi with garlic mushrooms on a brioche bun with a side sweet potato fries."
"The Treehouse on Lower Broughton Road is an independent cafe serving high quality coffee and food. It's a cosy Salford nook where diners can enjoy freshly made cakes and Instagram-worthy breakfast and brunch items. The menu has previous included bacon and cheese quiche with salad mess, pancakes with fresh berries and a traditional Full English breakfast consisting of two rashers of bacon, two sausages, two eggs, tomatoes, black pudding, beans and toast."
"As the UK’s first and Liverpool’s only dry-bar, The Brink is a truly individual space that acts as a welcoming social hub for the recovery community and the general public alike. The Parr Street venue is known for its healthy food creations and eclectic alcohol-free drinks menu, which features mocktails, fresh presses, juices and smoothies. What’s more, as part of its Social Return on Investment, for every £1 spent at The Brink Café this equated to a to £5 benefit for the community."
"The Brink creates a thriving social hub where people from all backgrounds and walks of life can socialise and relax. They’re also pretty good at whipping up pancakes. As a social enterprise, all profits go directly back into the community to support the recovery of those who have suffered as a result of alcoholism and addiction."
