Huge selection of ice-creams with all sorts of flavours, enormous waffles and milkshakes! If for some reason all this is not enough for you - you can create your own treat by choosing base (e.g. a crepe or waffle) and select fillings. Gourmet coffees include less common cinnamon and white mochas, smaller portion is £2.5 and bigger is £2.7 - comparable to the leading chains by price but no less tasty. Specialty tea ranges include Chilli Chai - one of the best I have tried so far. The atmosphere inside is quite unusual for a dessert place - dark walks and disco-balls. It's located very close to Piccadilly gardens, meaning it's easily accessible by all types of transport.

Don't get me wrong, I do love the choice of bars in Chorlton, but I was happy and relieved to see…read morethat this new opening just round the corner from my house was not just another bar. At least not in the traditional ale-drinking context. This is just what Chorlton needs - an ice cream bar complete with 36 flavours of ice cream! I used to love visiting the ice cream shops on Rusholme's curry mile, and now I have one right on my doorstep! The first time I went in I opted for a safe choice - mint choc chip. Next time I branched out to mango. Then ginger. They were all equally as delicious as each other. I must admit that I haven't visited Oasis in recent months. Ice cream just doesn't appeal to me when it's snowing outside. However, they also serve coffee, milkshakes and cakes, and with comfy leather chairs, a TV and free wireless I will definitely be popping in next time I don't fancy going out for a pint (or I have a craving for an ice cream after a Chorlton booze-up!) - Oasis is open until 12.30am on weekdays and 2am at weekends. Awesome.

I Love Cheesecake!…read more I have indulged in the pleasure of eating many cheesecakes from a variety of vendors, and I can say, hand on heart that, the Manchester Cheesecake Company produces the best cheesecakes! I had the pleasure of trying a (mini) cheesecake from here when he had a stall at the University of Manchester market, which occurred every Tuesday during the Semester. Although, the Manchester Cheesecake Company, was only there fortnightly, Pietro, the man behind the company, quickly became a favourite vendor for the whole of my office. The first cheesecake I tried was the hazelnut chocolate one, mainly because I love any hazelnut and chocolate combo! It was a nice creamy rich chocolate with a Ferrero Rocher on top. How amazing does that sound! Although, it was a little sweet for me, it was still delicious! The next time the cheesecake man came to visit, I thought I would go for a plain cheesecake with a fruity topping, and these cheesecakes were even better! Amazing! I bought the blueberry cheesecake, which contained blueberry within the cheesecake itself! I think this is my favourite! The cheesecake is relatively standard, but the taste is unbelievable! The other cheesecake I sampled (because I bought it for my girlfriend, of course!), was the strawberry cheesecake. This had a nice strawberry mousse in the middle with half a strawberry resting on top. Here is a tip: Let the cheesecake sit in the fridge for a day (if you can!) to let the mousse settle, and then it would be absolutely delicious! The market is no longer on, but my office now has cheesecake delivered every two weeks. Yes the company delivers! The Manchester Cheesecake Company also frequents Levenshulme Market and Moss Side Market. Check out their Facebook and Twitter for more details! If you don't believe how good the cheesecake is, then try it for yourselves. Next time, I will sample the lemon cheesecake and rumour has it, Pietro even does a cookie dough cheesecake! Whatever I try next, I know, it will be immense! Find this blog on mcrphil.blogspot.co.uk

I called on Wednesday and asked if they could prepare a cake for that Friday and they were very nice about it. All I had to do was email the details of what I wanted to their main email and they sent me a confirmation. One of the best parts is that they actually delivered the cake to my house! I'm a student and I don't have a car so this was a huge help! When the cheesecake arrived it looked gorgeous with raspberry swirls and fresh raspberries on top. Everyone loved the cake and it tasted delightful! I would definitely order another cake from them in the future. It also was great that their prices are extremely affordable. So many cake shops in Manchester charge 30+ pounds for a cake and this cake was only 18 pounds. A very reasonable price for the quality. Order from here, you will not regret it!

The lady behind the counter was very patient, even though it was nearly closing time, and talked us through the options and her recommendations. We'd just pigged out at a Chinese restaurant so went for a light option - only joking, of course we didn't! We each had ice cream and a brownie. I tried to go for the more unusual options so ended up with the Chorlton Brewery dark Vienna beer ice cream (!) and a New York Magic Cookie brownie, which had crumbled digestive biscuits and dessicated coconut in it. They were both very good, I was really impressed with the ice cream in particular. It had a distinctive beery flavour while still being creamy and delicious. It's not exactly cheap at £5 for a brownie and ice cream, but so worth it for a treat and a fun place to take friends.

Beyond the truly absurd amount of food that was presented before us (so much that we -all- had to box some up to take home), Sugar Junction has some nifty features that make it a stand-out spot. Free wi-fi means you can sip your caffeine whilst staying productive. And the collection of mismatched vintage/antique teacups, saucers, teapots, and cutlery round out the ambiance in a unique way. Whether it's for a bit of studying during the week, or a spot of tea to warm your hands with as you catch up with a good friend on a lazy afternoon, this wee shop makes for a fine socialising destination well worth taking advantage of.

I was looking for an American style brunch place (wanted fried chicken and waffles) and came across…read moreHome Sweet (although they didn't have C&W). I got their chicken tenders dish that came with fries, gravy, and slaw. It also came with a barbecue (I think it was barbecue) sauce. I was genuinely surprised as most brunch places I've been to never really serve any of their meals with sides (it's usually extra) so to have slaw and fries with this meal reminded me of how the food is back in America. The service was quick and after ordering, my food came soon after. I enjoyed the gravy more than the barbecue sauce. It had a bit of a sweet taste to it which works well with the chicken (I did find it a bit salty). The portion size was good for the price. I'm not too much of a fan of sweet things but I saw that they had pancakes and would try that next time I check this place out!

Much like moonlight and a plethora…read moreof other ice-cream parlours on the curry mile, this particular one caters for all your guilty pleasures. My recent visit here owed more to parking convenience than anything else. Treats was not far from receiving the coveted 5 star rating. Unfortunately the ice ceam flavour range isn't as extensive as its competition. The sponge cake however was delightful, and had a very likeable home made flavour to it that I love. This basically means that the cake was baked to perfection and whoever made it didn't go OTT with adding all the bits & bobs. Kept it simple is what I liked. Bit of jam in the middle an appropriate amount of cream & voila. None of that American shoving every known ingredient and what not into the cake until there's not much cake left to taste. The Dime bar cake also received the bog standard response from me; GLEE. However I must say Delights is still my numero uno for all ice-cream/faluda/cake cravings. But this isn't too far off the mark and I would certainly recommend it.

Treats is no exception to the rule and you can grab your milkshake or anything with sugar in for £2.50.

After hoping to relive nostalgia on what must have been the quietest night on Canal Street, I cast a gaze once more to the brightly coloured Archie's on the way back to Piccadilly Station and thought it too late for a fattening late night meal. I ultimately gave in and what a treat that was. I absolutely could not resist the Butterscotch Shake, which turned out to be amazing, to a point where I was sucking in the straw to get everything out of the cup and was equally delighted with the Good Burger, which I inhaled on the return train journey back to the hotel. This was definitely worth the stop.

After showing them the problem they apologized, but that was very rude; you don't upfront call customers liars. Like the shake, but probably won't visit again after that defaming encounter.
