Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Grappenhall

"Home sweet home is an American style diner with variety of tantalising dessert options on the menu. Not only that but if you really do want to follow the parents advice of no desserts before your meal, this is the perfect place due to the impressive savoury options on the menu, including toasties, tacos, eggs, bacon, waffles, fried chicken and steak. The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings."

"A post shared by Home Sweet Home (@homesweethomeuk) on Feb 23, 2020 at 4:15am PST. Another year-round pancake favourite, Home Sweet Home might be down to just one Manchester site now after closing their Great Northern Warehouse branch at the end of last year but their pancakes are still as banging as ever. Find them in the Northern Quarter to indulge in plates like these, topped with salted caramel, biscoff sauce, cream, strawberries and cinnamon crunch."

"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."

"It’s the perfect place to head for your favourite round shaped baked good. With different flavours made fresh everyday, you can eat in or take away for your afternoon snack. They also make rainbow bagels for the weekends… we’ll see you there."

"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!"

"Serving a range of single origin coffees that change on a weekly basis and dedicated to sourcing some of the best coffees available in Europe, Takk is freshly-brewing cups to go from its Tarrif Street site in the heart of the Northern Quarter only at weekends, so make sure to swing by if you’re passing. 6 Tariff Street, Manchester, M1 2FF. You can find more information via the Takk website here."

As well as a fabulous menu, this eatery offers a great atmosphere too, and is surrounded with beautiful decorations."

"What came first: delicious vegetarian breakfasts or The Egg Café?. We’ll let you debate that one over a lip-smackingly good veggie breakfast. If any veggies, vegans, or general foodie-lovers are looking for a cool, chilled-out place to get some scran, then you can’t go wrong with this brilliant café."

"Back before vegan food was trendy, the Egg was one of the only herbivorous hot spots in Liverpool. Based just off Bold Street, this rustic cafe is tucked away behind a mysterious purple door. The café itself is quite a large loft space situated over two levels."

"Grindsmith has expanded rapidly since its successful Kickstarter launched the pod just three short years ago. The third of its (for now) four branches is in Media City, which opened six months ago, following on from the original Pod and Deansgate. Media City is the probably the most traditional coffee shop setting of all four (the Pod is, well, a Pod, while the other two, Deansgate and Cross Street share space with other organisations. Meanwhile, this one stands alone on a corner to the west of the new Media City development in Salford."

"Inspiring the 1967 Beatles’ song Strawberry Fields Forever, Strawberry Field in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton functioned as a Salvation Army children’s home from 1936 to 2005. As a boy, Lennon would sneak in to play, and enjoyed watching the band at the annual garden party. These experiences would go on to inform his later songwriting."

"Located inside the YHA building in the Cavern Quarter, Strawberry Fields has an all-day menu but has sadly been closed and I haven’t been able to go yet. They offer a cuppa and cake for £3.95 so we’re looking forward to them re-opening."

Pretty sure they could hear our tummies rumbling from space."

"Cool NQ bar The Quarter House has got in on the action for the final stages of the Euros, with a big screen in the bar for fans to watch. The bar is operating on a walk-in basis only, so you’ll have to get there early to avoid disappointment."
