Pollen Bakery

My favourite bakery in Manchester. I used to get my sourdough there a couple of times a week (for me, it’s the best in a very competitive field!) and loved working my way through their pastries and sweet treats. The staff are the absolute best—so friendly and warm. I also love the location; it’s full of natural light, overlooking the marina, with outdoor seating for sunny days. The cooked breakfasts are excellent too. Honestly, everything I’ve had here has been top drawer. 🥐

One of the best breakfast we ever ate! Lovely place,fresh ingredients,super tasy. Especially recommend to try egg benedicts and homemade hashbrowns with kimchi sauce!!! They have also good coffee and fresh pastries🫠

I absolutely loved Pollen Bakery! The bakery items are a must-try. I had the halloumi & eggs dish and a cinnamon roll, and both were fantastic. The flat white was smooth and perfectly made. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The place itself is quite small, so it can get busy and finding a table might be tricky. I went early in the morning when they opened and managed to find a spot right away. Definitely worth a visit, and I’ll be back for sure next time I’m in Manchester.

Delicious food!! So good! I would have bought one of their massive sourdough breads that look so tasty but I had no room to take it. A little warm inside, a fan would do well there on hot sunny days. Free self-water, kind service, take your time here as on busy days it is slower. Beautiful being by the riverway.

Came for my birthday brunch with my friends. I had the lemon and blueberry french toast and they both had the hash brown bun. All of the food was absolutely delicious and the coffees were delectable. Shout out to the server who gave me a free cake for my birthday, it made my day!! We will definitely be returning to try out more of the menu!
