Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Acton Bridge

"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."

"Home Sweet Home is a go-to for cheap breakfast in Manchester, offering an all-American take on the classic meal. Chomp away on juicy fried chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and stacks of pancakes all washed down with fresh coffee, shakes and brunch cocktails."

"We love a good technical challenge on GBBO, and whose mind was blown when you saw how bagels were made!. Boiling bread before baking it seems ludacris but the result of a well-baked bagel is heaven. At Bagelry the team bring a wide variety of the ring-shaped delights to diners prepared in the traditional Jewish style, Americanised versions as well as their own gastronomic concoctions."

"The bagel itself is a pretty nifty baked good all on its own, it’s almost a doughnut but not, genius. Now the folks at The Bagelry have turned the brilliance of the basic bagel into a piece of bready brilliance. Take for example the Sunnyside Bagel with an egg fried in each hole or the perfectly baked bagel with lashings of creative cream cheese concoctions."

"The Bagerly specialises in, you guessed it, bagels, and they know how to make a good one over here. Nelson Street’s favourite bakery makes all their round shaped food fresh on site with loads of different flavours and rainbow bagels on the weekend!. You can also find some pretty impressive doughnuts here too alongside great coffee."

"Pop into Takk on a weekday, and it looks like an Apple store that’s let itself go. It’s the preferred working space for media types in the Northern Quarter, a testament to its top notch offering of brews and bites. Coffee fans should also head to Takk's latest launch on Oxford Road's own indie shopping site Hatch, where where they serve brews shoulder-to-shoulder with a stellar line up of local food traders."

"TAKK, 6 Tariff Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 2FF - Visit now. You may know Takk as a coffee hang-out, but this Icelandic-inspired spot is also a great place to enjoy a working lunch. Check out the satisfying range of Mediterranean sandwiches, flaky pastries and chunks of cake on offer throughout the day."

"TAKK, 6 Tariff Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 2FF - Visit now. An Icelandic coffee bar on the edge of the Northern Quarter"

"The Egg Café, or as it’s locally known, the Egg is a vegetarian restaurant located just off Bold Street. Vegetarian and Veganism is a growing dietary choice and many are choosing this lifestyle because of the health benefits it offers. The Egg is a restaurant a little different from the rest, nestled along a back street and up a couple of flights of stairs you’ll be welcomed into this loft restaurant which is light, airy and a little bit hippy."

"An elaborate vine leaf design, reminiscent of Grimm’s fairy tale illustrations, leads the way up a stairwell to a narrow double doorway in the same red-violet hue that gives access to the café – a large attic filled with wooden tables and all the ambiance of a monastery refectory. The barrier between stranger and friend is often lost here, over delicious and affordable food."

"The Egg Cafe is a Liverpool institution for vegetarians and vegans. The café serves vegan soups, daily specials, vegan spicy beanburger, salads, quiche, and more. The menu is currently being revamped."

"White Wolf Kitchen is housed within White Wolf Yoga, a place of tranquillity, relaxation and serenity. Following a yoga session, the White Wolf Kitchen is a vegetarian café guaranteed to satisfy your every health craving. You can enjoy a range of fruit and vegetable super smoothies, delicious breakfasts and healthy lunchtime bites."

"White Wolf Kitchen is a plant-based food café serving breakfast, salads, sandwiches, Fairtrade coffee and tea, plus juices and raw cakes. It's attached to a yoga studio and decorated with Scandinavian vibes. 14 Cook St, Liverpool, England"

"It’s no word of a lie when we say that this café’s coffee, unicorn hot chocs, and no-nonsense, full-English breakfast are out of this world. Not only would we leave Bath and move to Liverpool for this coffee shop, but we’d also go all the way to outer space just to sample one of their sausage on brioche buns!. Whether you need a hearty brek after a night on the town or you’re looking to indulge in one of their heavenly Biscoff shakes, Space Coffee will sort you right out!"

"If you’re heading down to Otterspool then Space Coffee on Aigburth Road is a good shout for breakfast, especially as it’s whipping up a full English in a box to fuel you up against the cold. Of course, you could always scale down a bit, they do smaller toasty options and pancakes, but you are treating yourself after all. They’re serving until 4pm."

"Space Coffee on Aigburth Road serves up drinks like you’ve never seen before. They do all your favourite coffees alongside dreamy hot chocolates covered in loads of toppings. Make sure you check out their unicorn hot chocolate when you’re there!"

"The Manchester Doughnut Company was started by local chef Ed Beech seeking to fill a gap in the market for more eclectic donut flavours. Handmade in small batches, Ed creates flavour combinations such as white chocolate and pumpkin donuts, butterscotch and bourbon donuts and donuts topped with Crunchy Nut Cereals!. The secret to these donuts is the slow proving process used to make the dough (although covering them in butterscotch once they’ve been fried can’t hurt either eh?) You can find these beauties at The King’s Arms, and at The Makers Market in Spinningfields and Didsbury every month."

"This Welsh doughnut shop in the Northern Quarter offers melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts made on-site by Blawd bakery including inventive flavours such as apple crumble, maple pecan glaze, cherry bakewell and strawberries and cream. For National Doughnut Week there are rhubarb, vanilla and raspberry fills all week long, or try their mango lassi edition –  a special collaboration with indian street food specialists Bundobust. This unique cardamom doughnut sandwich with an Alphonso mango cream is glazed and topped with candied fennel seeds, and all proceeds go to The Children’s Trust."

"Blawd bakery made a name for itself making some of the best cakes and doughnuts in Manchester. Previously working from a basement kitchen in Common, the superstar bakers have expanded with the launch of their first cafe, SiOP SHOP. Owned by Iwan Roberts and Lucy Jackson, the bakery and café on Tib Street is set to launch soon, serving a range of breakfast and lunch dishes alongside their famous bakes."

"This micro-bakery is tucked away just off Hardman Street but you really do not want to miss it. Perhaps my favourite of the bakeries I visited, this tiny little shop has the most incredible looking sourdough loaves, doughnuts in every flavour you can imagine and the friendliest staff. I can see why there is so much hype in the city around this place, the doughnuts are just that good – my mum even felt the need to tell the girls working there that it was ‘the best doughnut she’s ever had’."

"A post shared by The Wild Loaf (@the_wild_loaf) on Feb 13, 2019 at 3:02am PST. Tucked away just off Hardman Street, The Wild Loaf micro-bakery is a real hidden gem of Liverpool. Their doughnuts are mini marvels filled with heavenly flavour combination and our favourites are topped with delicious fresh fruit and cream."

"This mico-bakery specialises in naturally leavened organic sourdough breads, extravagant doughnuts and beautiful sandwiches. They are currently only operating an online delivery service which you can find out more about on their website. View this post on Instagram"

"Before he founded the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell set up the Salford Lads’ Club in Ordsall in 1903. The idea behind clubs like these was to keep young boys in deprived areas out of trouble, and channel their energy into constructive pursuits and sport. The list of former members here is illustrious and includes the actor Albert Finney, the Busby Babe Eddie Colman and guitarist Graham Nash of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash."

"This one is a bit of a trek from the Manchester city center (we went here as part of a private black cab taxi tour of the city), but it is a must-visit spot for music fans. Devotees of The Smiths come from all over the world to recreate their famous photo take in front of the Salford Lads Club for the inside sleeve of their 1986 album, The Queen is Dead. Go have your own Morrissey moment!"

"Located in Salford (Greater Manchester), Salford Lads Club became famous in 1986 when it was featured on the cover of the Smith’s album The Queen is Dead. Manchester is known for its music scene. It boasted some of the most famous rock bands in England and the Smiths are one of them!"
