Sweet indulgence in Manchester

“Great selection of frozen foods, and deserts. Limited fresh fruit. Good selection of tins, cakes, raw and cooked meats. Prices are good. Clean shop. Staff are good and helpful.”

“Love this place. In a world where we have the £5 Mr Whippy milkshake and £7 factory made cake desert place > its good to have a traditional Asian sweet centre and traditional prices. £1.50 for amazing ras malai and same price for a pink tea. Nice mitai also .”

“Very nice atmosphere and large screen with plenty of comfortable sitting, the one was choose it was 4K HD screen with leather sofas, perfect place to spend some quality time. It’s inside the print works so you can either drive or walk in.”

“Had a weekend away in the Peak District and was visiting nearby towns. Came across this lovely little cafe in a small town not to far from where we were staying (Whaley bridge). We ordered the egg and avacado toast which was yummy!! The hot chocolate was really rich and just perfect. What attracted me to this cafe was the mostly vegetarian menu. The cafe was also a walking distance from Millennium walkway is another great place to visit!”

“Popped in for a hot chocolate and coffee , was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and was the perfect place to visit to start the day.”

“Called in here for lunch with my wife, and the food was delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful.”

“Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.”

“Came here for first time, amazaing shop, great customer service, highly recommend for Kandy lovers. They have plenty of prime and candy to choose from.”

“Amazing range of all kinds of cakes, brownies and blondies that taste superb. Great range of drinks as well, including a while variety of milkshakes. Well presented and lovely outdoor seating options.”

“As a family tradition we go out for breakfast on the morning of a holiday. We tried this cafe as the reviews were very positive and my wife had heard about it through a work colleague. The staff were very welcoming. There were a few regulars in who made the place seem very community focussed, more friends than customers. The food was really good freshly prepped after we ordered. When I mentioned where we going on holiday the lady who served us explained she was from that same area originally and advised us of things to look out for. Can't fault it. We will visit again definitely.”

“The Cocoa Tree Chorlton has moved from next door to Oxfam to opposite Chorlton Post Office and I had the most out-of-this-world chocolate experience I have ever had, here recently. I visited with a friend, whom I was buying coffee & cake for. I ordered a dark hot chocolate with raspberry sauce (albeit tasting gorgeously like melted Turkish Delight) and a warm chocolate brownie. The drink was very hot, which makes a change from so many hot chocolates in oh so many other café bars and it retained its heat to the very last mouthful, possibly as a result of the added sauce. The brownie cake was also delicious. To top off the experience, the shop owner presented us with a couple of handmade chocolates. I can't speak for my friend, but I popped mine in my mouth for an explosion of chewy, but melt-in-the-mouth mintiness. The overall cost for two people was a bit pricier that I might've paid in most other coffee/chocolate shops, but for the tastes and the hot chocolate remaining hot till the end, I think I would have been surprised had it been any less expensive. I imagine I will be bringing friends here for a treat, for many years to come. I highly recommend this shop!”

“Great little coffee shop. Nice selection of, home made, sandwiches and cake, to go with the excellent coffee. Definitely be returning there.”

“This was a really charming and friendly tea shop where I stopped for a breakfast and a cuppa. It was good food, hot and the server was super friendly. Would recommend”

“A cozy place with friendly staff. Coffee is delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!”

“The cafe is the best doggy cafe for miles x the cafe lady who runs it is lovely and is a credit to the council she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome x”

“We have ordered breakfast for delivery from here a number of times now and I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve had in a long time, every single time we haven’t been disappointed. Food is piping hot when it arrives and is beautifully presented you can tell the staff take pride in their food and service. The little touches make such a difference and the staff write little messages on the boxes and receipts saying thank you, or enjoy etc. Will definitely be visiting in person at some point.”

“Staff are very friendly and kind One of the best shop”

“Excellent from start to finish, booked for an 18th family & friends afternoon gathering. Great atmosphere, service, drinks and food. Made everyone welcome and no ask too much. The day couldn’t have been better, thank you.”

“Nice taste, very good potion size. If you havent got big appetite n ordering a box, you wont be able to finish. All Halal option. Nice in house drinks choice. Loved Philli cheese steak sandwich. No toilet facility. Limited seating space. Supporting staff. Would definitely go there again.”

“Easily my favourite takeaway in Manchester. It's my go to if I work late and can't face cooking. The service is always super friendly and the food is consistently delicious.”

“Recommend all churros lovers to go there!! Reasonable price and served by energetic and helpful staff. I didn’t have to wait at all to pick up my order and my churros were freshly fried once I ordered. Very efficient and it tasted gooood with cinnamon sugar and hazelnut chocolate dip. Big applause for the good vibe of the staff and their service, I feel like they love their jobs:)”

“Had to try this after a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. The lad on the front was cheerful and made me feel welcome. so I chose the mix of chicken and lamb shawarma in a fresh fluffy tasty samoon bread with salad and it was perfect. And only a fiver as well Then chose the halloumi tray with chips and salad including hummus, pickled cabbage and other healthy fresh veg tables . The halloumi is the best I have ever had no joke. Absolutely fabulous food and great value would highly recommend and will be back.”

“Went tonight with a party of 6, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Unbelievable Italian drinks selection. Sat down inside when everyone arrived, the owner made room for my father in-law in his wheel chair. (Which isn't easy everywhere!) Food was amazing, everyone loved it, I had the lasagne which was Unbelievable. Honestly couldn't recommend any more. We can't wait to go back. Unbelievable value as well considering the quality. ***Wheel Chair friendly as-well***”

“Amazing place both in store and online! I have the Uber Eats app and their service is always fast and the food is always in perfect condition - if cookie dough, it’s still lovely and warm, and if ice cream it’s always still cold and in tact. The food is so tasty it’s always a joy ordering from The Dessert Cafe. Even going into the cafe itself, the owner is very friendly and the service in itself is wonderful. Will be a loyal customer of this place for a long long time.”

“Excellent for African and Caribbean groceries”
