There's so many different flavours to pick from, it always takes me a good few minutes to make a decision. They do have the standard flavours like vanilla, mint choc chip, etc, but to mix things up a little bit, they have some genius ideas, such and ice-cream mixed with sweets, biscuits and other delicious sauces. This time I opted for the Jammie Dodger ice-cream - it was perfectly creamy and had little chunks of biscuit in it. I'm not a massive fan of the ice-cream cones so I opted to have mine in a tub. There are however a few different options when it comes to the cones, there's the standard plain one, a chocolate one and one with sprinkles. This is a cute little café, so there are seats so that you can sit down and enjoy your ice-cream. Alternatively you can walk around with it and watch people ski / snowboard through the viewing area. The prices are marvellous for the quality of the products served. I cannot fault this place at all.

I had a few bites of my friend's waffle and ice cream too, absolutely delicious. I mean how can you go wrong with that? It's a match made in heaven. Not only do they do ice cream, but they offer toasties and paninis for just £3.25, and great Italian coffees too. I love the forecourt terrace where you can sit, take the weight off and watch all the frantic Christmas shoppers running from store to store. It's a real treat.

We need more of these Frurt shops around Manchester! It is simply DELICIOUS and healthy too (well…read morecompared to other desserts for sure). I tend to go for the natural flavour in a medium pot with raspberry's and honey, this costs between £3.50 and £4. Totally worth it. They usually have 4 or so flavours on offer. Today they had natural, peanut butter, match green tea and mango. You can have a little taste before you pick. They have a range of toppings too, ranging from fruit to chocolate and a variety of sauces to top it all off. In addition to the yummy fro-yo they also sell coffee and tea, as well as snacks including delicious protein balls that are vegan and healthy. The customer service has always been 5* in my experience, can't fault the guys that work here. The actual shop is a fairly small unit with about 5 seats inside and a few outside when the weathers nice. To be honest I'm surprised they've got 5 seats in there but they have, and it's comfortable. Most people tend to buy to take away. I also like that they offer a loyalty card, after 3 visits you get a free topping and after 6 you get a free small fro-yo. A must visit.

Now *this* is more like it, Manchester. For eons I've been obsessed with fro-yo, lamenting the fact…read morethat I'd presumably have to hop on a Virgin Train to London to enjoy it freshly made, watching the supermarket freezer shelves like a hawk for the yogurt versions of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food and Fudge Brownie. Want to know a secret? I actually prefer frozen yogurt to ice cream. It's true. It cannot be touched in terms of light, delicious brilliance. So how excited was I when I saw the bright, inviting colours of Frurt on Whitworth Street West, just off Oxford Road round the corner from Cornerhouse? All kinds of. Shortly after spying that I joined my flat-hunting amigo in an estate agents' office two Saturdays ago and picked up a copy of Urban Life to flick through. What did I see but a Frurt advert, noting their opening weekend at the end of July? Oh, now I was even happier. While I didn't make it to their grand sample give-out due to weekend commitments, the hideously cloying weather had me making a beeline for their enticing, clean and fun-looking shop. I couldn't resist. Instantly I was intrigued by the Fruit Parfait, which at £3.50 is one of the best value things on the menu (and they're all great value, believe me). You get your generously scooped and whipped fro-yo, with a choice of four flavours - au naturel, chocolate, strawberry or green tea. As soon as the last one was mentioned I was decided. Then it's topped with granola, a delightful drizzle of honey and your choice of two fruits - for me it had to be strawberry and mango. Off I wandered... and I stopped. I'm so silly for thinking I could eat this on the go. It demands your attention. You have to savour and enjoy it, and I found myself a peaceful spot of street and gave my treat the focus it deserved. And I didn't want it to end. It was almost breakfasty with the granola, fruit and honey, and there are plentiful topping choices if you want to feel a little naughtier. Just know that the base fro-yo is stupendously healthy. Isn't that just awesome? Going to a movie at the Cornerhouse? Grab yourself a cheeky takeaway treat beforehand. They're open until 10pm each day and it's our duty as independent business-loving Mancunians not to let them down. Frurt is one of those specialist places we sorely need in these parts, so let's enjoy it!

The brown butter cookie pie was so unique. I've never had anything quite like it. I overheard them mentioning the chocolate was a new recipe.

While their Chocolate, ginger and thyme flavor is highly rated, I had the caramel cookie pie (I'm sure there is more to that flavor, I just can't remember!) and it was amazing. Creamy, sweet, with lovely cookie chunks, it delivered exactly what I wanted from an ice cream. The staff are also really friendly, and the shop within Afflecks has a true 'ice cream parlour' feel to it that will transport you back.

Now, I'm no stranger to Frozen Yoghurt, and I'm well acquainted with this great city. But, as I…read morewalked through the smoky streets of Manchester this afternoon, I stumbled across something new to me. Froyoberry. A Frozen Yoghurt vendor. Healthy? Yep. Low in calories? Uh huh. Fat free? Yessiree. Thrills me to the chiselled bone. With a variety of flavours and LOADS of toppings to choose from, I asked the staff for some help. On the right side of friendly (rather than that suffocating over-friendliness), and well versed on the combos, they were only too happy to help. I went for the vanilla, teased with lashings of fresh strawberries and granola. Simply divine, as in, 'I never want to close my eyes again kind-of-divine'. Joyous. In fact, not shy when it comes to words, I'd go as far as to describe it as a 'mesmerising symphony of cohesion and excellence.' Just like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. Mickey brought magic to the mops and buckets. And here, Froyoberry brings magic to the Frozen Yoghurt. They have seating and free Wi-Fi in side, so I was able to kick back, indulge in my Froyo and tweet Samantha Mumba all at the same time. Yes, it's a glowing review. And, deservedly so. As a man who plies his trade in the city, I often spend hours each week wandering around looking for ways to inspire my team. Poetry? Sheer unadulterated rage? Business acumen? Sweets? Not anymore. Instead, next week, I'm ordering Froyoberry. Yeah, you heard me right, they deliver too. That's right Mohammed, the mountain will come to you. How bitchin' is that?! When they told me that, I was like, 'Yeah, boyyyyy'. Totally bitchin'. I hear you say, 'what about other Frozen Yoghurt vendors'? No contest. Froyoberry is the Napoleon of Frozen Yoghurt, pushing aside the papal idiocy of the competition and crowning themselves as Emperor. There wasn't a single second of my visit there that didn't have me cocooned in awe. I called in and fell in love with it instantly in a serious way. Why, it's wonderful - a perfect little place...if you have never been to Froyoberry, go there at once. I'll even give you a piggyback.

Delighted because Ice Cream…read moredoesn't get better than Holdens yet saddened because it's April and I should be able to eat Ice Cream every day out in the sun by now and it's bloody raining.. Ahhh the good old north west ey! Anyhow, back to this creamy genius: Holdens Ice Cream is a staple of any Bolton childhood and it remains my favourite ice cream to this day at the grand old age of 24. I can still remember the days when my grandma would take me up to Edgworth on a summers day to eat gallons of Ice Cream and play on the park for what seemed like 10 minutes but likely was closer to 5 hours - it literally is a taste of summer for me! In recent years, the family of the inventor have rebranded the Ice Cream and started to introduce a whole range of flavours where previously it was just vanilla. You can get all sorts, like pistachio, strawberry and about 15 other fruity combinations, but for me its always the original, and it always will be! If you're in these parts for a nice walk or watching the local football/cricket - definitely brave the queues and grab yourself some of the best homemade Ice Cream around!
