I'm not a huge fan of Krispy Kreme donuts as I find the majority quite sickly but the Halloween…read morerange was very easy on the eye! A colleague brought a couple of boxes in as a treat for the office last week, I went for the spooky sprinkles donut which was basically a glazed ring with sprinkles on top. It was the perfect mid afternoon snack, washed down with a hot cup of tea. I prefer the glazed rings over the stuffed donuts as I find them way too stodgy and always end up feeling sick after. I have bought a couple of boxes from this store myself, usually as a gift for someone that's obsessed with them (as many are) and the shop itself is lovely. I've always found the staff to be very helpful. They do an ok coffee in store too.

What can I say?! Possibly the best sweet treat on earth! Krispie Krème Doughnuts are some kind of…read morefood from the gods. This shop is so close to my work it's just unfair. Every time it's someone's birthday, someone has a baby, someone leaves, someone starts a huge box of doughnuts appears on the left side of our office. If you have no willpower or self discipline you are bound for morbid obesity. I cannot give five stars because there is probably the recommended daily calorie intake in half a doughnut but I give four stars because they are just too damn good.

Great little cafe in the Northern Quarter. Doughnuts are out if this world. Had a Blackcurrant…read moreHeart and a Flat white highly recommended.

TL;DR - Donuts, coffee and a strong hipster vibe…read more We've popped in here on a Saturday a few times now and have had a pretty consistent experience each time. The great news is that the donuts and coffee are fantastic. If that's what you've come for, you won't be disappointed. The bad news is that we always seem to struggle to find somewhere to sit. That's mostly because the place is so successful I guess, but it also makes us hesitant about going because a couple of times we've ended up giving up and leaving. My other grumble - but this is definitely me - is that there are some serious hipster vibes from some of the customers. I can almost feel them judging me, and as someone rapidly leaving their 30s I basically end up feeling like a really, really old man whenever I come here!

Only came here for drinks and had a blast. It's a happening place on Friday evening. We started at…read morethe martini bar a few doors down then hopped over here and stayed. The ambience is fun and hip. Then randomly there were people painted and dressed as fairies dancing on tables and singing to live music. From other reviews it sounds like the food is fantastic so I would definitely return.

Really great spot that is easy to enjoy. Huge and beautiful space. Multiple bar areas to…read moreaccommodate huge crowds if needed. We simply ordered at the bar and found open seating in the bar area. The 12 hr munich pork sandwich was delicious. The cheese and mustard perfectly compliment the flavor and the pork shines. Served with house fries that were delicious also; crispy, salty and delicious. The bratwurst klassic was also great; exactly what you expect in a brat. Fantastic selection of German and Czech beers to choose from. Service was great, but, it was early on a Saturday and the crowd continued to build even as we were leaving. They had a drag MC that sang requested birthday songs and occasionally had something, ie one question trivia with winner getting a prosecco bottle, to break up between dj'ed songs. It made it entertaining without overwhelming you from enjoying food, beer and conversation. Absolutely fabulous!

Was staying in Manchester following seeing a gig at Gorila. Missed the hotel breakfast so needed…read moresome sustenance before heading home - a quick Google and I found this gem in the Northern Quarter. It's on a road with a few other bars / restaurants all of which look very inviting. Common is a cool little place. The coffee is delicious. The service relaxed and chilled. The food awesome. I went for the "small fry" breakfast. It's was £8 and came with three rashers of tasty bacon, fried egg, really delicious sausage, hashbrown, beans and mushrooms, with some crusty sourdough toast. I added black pudding and some more toast to mine as well. Was with out a doubt one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while! Definitely recommend and will be back when in Manchester next!

My first meal in Manchester... and it's a sure win…read more I may have had some doubts when my group was ordering beef brisket, pulled pork, rubens, et al -- (hello halloumi and falafel SALAD, whatsup?) I needn't have worried as that salad was hearty and filling. Don't think I'll even need dinner! The service was prompt (order at the counter) and they cheekily had signs up that no football colors would be tolerated! (there's a big match today and I assume many other days!) so this will keep the vibe chill and available for folks wanting good food without all the fuss. Also, made my Michigander Girl heart proud that they are serving Founders Beer on tap! Give it a go.

Overall, just okay. Being from the states, maybe I'm a little extra choosy with my BBQ…read more I ordered the half rack of ribs with 2 XXL wings - wings were over cooked, so one part of the XXL wing was inedible. Barely any sauce. The ribs were decent - definitely not fall off the bone type, but okay tasting. I asked for sweet potato fries, even with an upgrade charge, but alas, the service wasn't the best. So I got the regular fries - which were probably my favorite part of the meal. They were the thinner kind so not the typical "chips" - which I like! The BBQ sauces - 5 choices - I didn't care for any of them. The tangy coleslaw also wasn't a hit with me. $20 or so for the ribs/wings meal & a large Pepsi max.

It had been awhile since I'd been here and my boyfriend was a reds true bbq virgin. So on date…read morenight we came here in which I was really excited about remembering past memories. Luckily I had booked on a Friday night. As we were walked to our table we were informed that there was no jerky or draft beers (same 5 years ago!) Anyway I chose the luxurious salted caramel and choc shake with rum (£8) which was divine and pawed the menu. They had drastically changed this. There are now more veggie and fish choices. Apart from the starters I didn't find the mains that inspiring. Anyway we decided to share some bbq wings for starters and himself had the brisket burn ends for main while I had the pitmaster for £18. The wings arrived in a tasty sauce and were fairly large. When the mains arrived my heart sank. I had to double check mine..it had the ribs..cheese sausage..meaty beans..and another pot of beans but no pulled pork or crackling ..my boyfriend's was dry brisket on soggy bread with greens..the burnt ends were nice. Anyway he left most of his and to be fair they were really understanding and the manager sat down with us to discuss the food. In the end my boyfriends meal was taken off the bill ans mine halved in price.. the way it was handled didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth and would try it again in the far future.
