Best Bakery and Cake Shops in The Haulgh

"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."

"Proudly championing Antipodean coffee culture with a Northern accent, Pot Kettle Black is serving up some of the finest freshly-brewed cups of caffeine from its Barton Arcade takeout hatch in the heart of the city centre, so it couldn’t be easier to grab as you go. Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW. You can find more information via the PKB website here."

"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge. Owners Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan run a tight ship, with staff serving up an impressive range of brews. Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"

"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."

"I’m pretty sure every student in Manchester has heard about The Font, it’s definitely been a staple in my student life anyway. At first I never considered it as a place to go for food, more a chilled place to go to hang out with friends in the evening. That was until I checked the menu – with fully loaded breakfasts available from 11am-5pm for £10 or less, The Font has you covered at any time of day!"

"This relaxed and trendy bar serves a range of cocktails starting from just £2!. What more could you want?. Spend the evening working your way through the colourful menu, in the equally colourful location."
