Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Whitestake

"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."

"Designed to make you feel right at home, Home Sweet Home is open until 11pm, making it a nice late-night option for coffee lovers. Their trademark dish is the Cheeseburger Toastie, a combination of two of the nation’s favourite dishes. Edge Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1HE@HomeSweetHomeNQ / homesweethomenq.com"

"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!"

"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."

"Restaurants Coffeeshops. Takk is a love letter to scandi coffee houses, and it’s been serving up hygge vibes to savvy Mancunians for years. They now have three outlets across the city, but we still love their Northern Quarter branch the most."

"Having won an abundance of awards since it opened, North Tea Power has become a popular spot for the coffee enthusiasts of Manchester. As well as perfectly decorated coffee to keep you motivated, North Tea Power sells an impressive selection of loose-leaf tea, and a bread-heavy menu full of cheese melts and warming soups. Due to its popularity as a brunch spot at the weekends, it’s best to use this as a study spot during the week, when the crowds are substantially fewer."

"The coffee house is ready to provide you with the apt vibe in the causal chic environment. It is located in the northern quarter, and since 2010, it is providing a raucous attitude to the drinks and carbohydrate accompaniments. The café is offering an intimidating array of loose-leaf teas, a bunch of best coffees in Manchester, and regulars like espresso."

"A cracking cup of coffee, a great name and serves alcohol too (but not first thing in the morning). What more could you want?. 36 Tib St, Manchester M4 1LA@northteapower / northteapower.co.uk"

"Beloved neighbourhood hangout Ezra & Gil has provided Manchester with an evolutionary concept in urban coffee and cafe culture since opening doors 2015, and is still serving freshly-brewed cups to go in the heart of the Northern Quarter this weekend. 20 Hilton Street, Manchester, M1 1FR. You can find more information via the Ezra & Gil website here."

"Ezra & Gil may have made a name doing breakfast, brunch and coffee, but since it decided to turn its hand to refreshing poke bowls as well as seasonal salads and pasta, it has truly levelled up. Stylised as 'Ezra by night', head chef, Dan, wanted to add more to evening offerings and, boy, did he. View this post on Instagram"

"Let’s start this list with one of my all-time favourite places in the Northern Quarter: Ezra & Gil. The number of hours I’ve spent here with my laptop sipping away at a second or third americano… Crazy!. Their website says Ezra & Gil is a “true neighbourhood hang-out” and I couldn’t agree more."

"Tipple opened last year, and can be found on Station Road in Ainsdale village. It is a friendly and inviting wine bar, which serves a range of fine wines, ales and lagers, spirits, cocktails, specialty coffees and more. The owners have stripped out the bar to find the original timber and ornate windows which fit in with the rustic, traditional theme they are hoping to create."

"Origin Juice and Brew Bar is just a stone's throw away from Preston's train station. Their homemade vegan options are enough to make you drool, to be enjoyed alongside a vegan coffee or a scrumptious smoothie. The café serves breakfast, lunch, and tasty vegan cakes and treats."

"One for the grown-ups - the Comedy Station is described as "Blackpool's Funniest Night Out.". Enjoy an evening of sharp wit and belly laughs at one of Blackpool’s premiere live comedy clubs - and the only purpose-built comedy club in Lancashire. With a skilled compere welcoming three comedy talents from top-flight television shows such as Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live at the Apollo and more, bringing the best of the UK comedy circuit to Blackpool, it's sure to be a night out to remember."

There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."
