Bakeries & cafés in Manchester

Manchester city centre has none of the 19 entries, and many are in nearby towns: the page runs from Whalley Range, West Didsbury, Rusholme and Cheetham Hill out to Bramhall, Timperley, Worsley, Bolton and as far as Edenfield. Sixteen are bakeries, half of which close by 3 PM, and pies, sandwiches, pasties and sausage rolls are the recurring review topics. The cafés are a varied handful. Mediterranean Cafe on Withington Road serves breakfasts with halloumi, hummus and falafel wraps from 7 AM, has a front patio and closes on Tuesdays; The Old Bakery Didsbury on Burton Road pairs cakes with bacon, sausage and black-pudding breakfasts and opens at noon on Sundays; and Marjoe's in Bramhall's Village Square lists vegan dishes, brunch and alcohol. For evenings there is Moonlight on Cheetham Hill Road, a dessert shop open from 3 PM until 1 AM on six days, with falooda, milkshakes, waffles and karak tea.
