I've been to pollen for take out pastries, coffee, and adore their sourdough, but I've never…read moreactually sat down to eat anything more than pastry ... until I did. whenever I've passed this branch, its always been busy, people queued outside on weekends, all tables full inside and outside, and generally busy, so I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get sat down when I went. It was a Sunday morning, and I could only get there long after opening due to my transport arrangements so I was worried ... but thankfully I was easily able to get a table to sit down and eat .. I'm lucky most of the people of Manchester don't wake up early on a Sunday. So it was a little quiet but inside was almost full when I got there ... which was nice. It was a decent day and I was kinda close to the window so could see the marina and all the people exercising and walking their dogs and it's with sitting and just chill. So with sitting and eating, I wanted to get something good. it always looked amazing when I was waiting for my drink to take out, but I'm always one to have eggs Benedict whenever I can, so I figured I might as well try theirs ... and it did not disappoint. It came with ham hock, 2 eggs, brown butter, hollandaise, and crispy kale on their own sourdough. Im not usually one to have kale ... but they made it amazing. I finished every last bit and wanted more ... it was hands down, one of the best eggs Benedict I have ever had. To accompany the eggs benny, I also went for a coffee, as you do, and an orange juice, which was so nice. Hands down will always recommend people to go to pollen, if not for their sourdough and coffee and pastries to go, but also to sit and eat. Love this place
This place is quite popular! There was a long line (or queue) but it went pretty quickly. I was…read morehappy they had an iced black, since I prefer ice coffees. There is a homemade Yuzu drink that I'd love to try next time. Outside has a few more seats than inside. They can run out of food, so I'd make sure you get here on the early side if you want food. It's a pretty casual spot and loudness level depends on the crowd. The food tastes very good!

From the moment we walked in and saw the fabulous photography on the wall to the minute we left with £15 worth of cakes I was a happy bunny. The lady who served us (a character all by herself!) was very helpful and packaged our cakes nicely so we got them (all) home in one piece. We over indulged in the white ganache tarts, caramel death by chocolate, a selection of chunky chocolate topped chocolate muffins, and a shortbread heart amongst some others. For my particular taste the ganache was slightly too runny, but i had a spoon so it was all good. The chunky chocolate topped muffins were varied from chunks of toblerone, crunchies, white choc etc. and were very tasty and moist, like proper chocolate cake should be, The shortbread was super - perfectly baked with a good amount of jam sandwiched in the middle. There wasn't much bread left on sale but it was about 3pm so we decided to go to the Barbakan.....

One bun at a time. This little bakery tucked into an old arched building has nothing but freshly baked goodies (a few savoury snacks too like pasties) and for that we love them. I've never tried the bubble tea myself but friends have raved about it - they have all different flavours so it is definitely on my to do list. But I can tell you that their cakes with cream, fresh fruit, things like that are so so delicious. The prices, whilst steeper than a donut in Greggs, are still pretty good for what you are getting so don't let this put you off.

Just a quick one for this branch of Greggs - even though it's been here quite a while it still…read morelooks like it's brand new and is always in good condition. Down by Castle Street it's half way up and is probably not a bad bet if you're after lunch as there's not loads of options to eat or drink down here. Like all Gregg's they stock a great selection of pies, sandwiches, cakes and pastries - with hot and cold soft drinks on offer too. Prices are very good value. My personal favourite are the bacon baps (served till 11am) - £1.75 for a bap and you can get a hot drink with it for £2 - what a bargain and the bacon bap always tastes amazing (it is usually while hungover when I get this in so that's probably why it also tastes so amazing - it's my salvation!)
There are three major 'chains 'of bakeries in Bolton them being; Greggs, Hampsons and Greenhalgh's…read more This branch of Greenhalgh's is situated inside the Crompton Place shopping centre so has the added bonus of being able to queue and then eat your goods out of the cold and wet Lancashire weather outside! Although Bolton cente has a whopping four branches of Greenhalghs this patricular branch is one of the two smaller ones yet still has a decent window display of many mouthwatering cakes etc and a great selection of goods inside. Inside you can buy pretty much what you'd expect from hot sausage rolls and pasties to cakes and cookies as well as sandwiches and drinks. they also offer meal deals etc for adults and kids alike which are always worth considering to make it that bit cheaper. The staff are always friendly and willing and there is a general relaxed atmosphere even when it's heaving with customers. The products themselves are extremely tasty if not a little more expensive then it's competitors Greggs.

TL;DR - Local pies, baked on site. What's not to love?…read more This is a pretty much no frills place - a counter at the back serving pies, and an option to sit in if you want. There are a variety of hot pies on offer - steak, meat and potato, chicken and mushroom... plus some cold whist and pork pies. There's also a small selection of cakes and sweet things too. The pies are baked here on site (Bowen's bakery is in the rear) so you won't get fresher than this. The other big win here is that you can find that particularly local delicacy, the butter pie, which most folks won't have heard of if they didn't grow up within spitting distance of Preston. I love a butter pie, and whilst I've never found one which matches the ones I had in the 1980s, these are a pretty close match. Parking right outside, cheap prices and lovely photos of Chorley in days gone by on the walls. Not suitable for vegetarians or dieters, but plenty of Lancashire fayre to put a smile on your face.

The pies are my favouroite especially the steak and kidney, its so tasty. The pastry they use id the best I have had and no soggyness either. They are all made and baked fresh in the shop.

I can honestly say that the beef and onion pies were as good as anhything I have ever tasted and they were the same good size we used to buy and not the shrunken kind that others now sell.

As Ryan H points out, it's the only place in the local area to get a pasty, pie or bakerie item without heading into the Town Centre and so it's very convenient and accessible for a quick lunch. As a fairly large chain, I'm sure you are aware of Sayers, what they offer and the quality there. It's not the best pasty you'll ever have and not a patch on Carr's but it certainly fills a need when craving hits!

They make lovely sandwiches but its the cakes that are the real draw. They have so many on offer you won't be able to choose just one. The prices are really really good value, its just opposite Greggs in town and in my mind is far better in terms of quality and is much cheaper with so much more choice.

All of the sandwiches, pastries and cakes are always very fresh. I'm not suer if they actually bake them themselves though.
