home sweet home

the name just strikes a good note with you. you get a vibe which says that this place will make you feel athomeand fill your bellies with food made with love and perhaps we experienced just that.

from the moment you enter, no matter how many tables are already taken and how busy the servers might be, they will ensure that they greet you with a smile and guide you personally to your table.

on a hungry morning, we mapped our way tohomesweethomeand were instantly enchanted by the feel good vibe of the place.

what did we eat?

breakfast waffle: very pretty looking dish arrived at our table and i was ready with my weapons to cut through the waffle. i had a moment of pause here though, why is the waffle not crispy! well i got over that soon as the eggs, bacon and maple made up for this. i hope they are not supposed to be like this? all my life i’ve known waffles to be slightly crispy? or no?

eggs cali: beautiful looking, brilliant tasting!

sun devil scrambler: yummy. just loved the bits of chorizo spread unevenly across the dish.

strawberry, nutella, kicker shakes: very filling and thick shakes as i like em!

well done, will definitely visit again if given a chance :)

love this place in nq! in my role as an older brother, i thought i’d take it upon myself to show my little sister somewhere better to eat than you can get down in stocky and took her up tohomesweethomewhilst i was back in town for a weekend.

it’s pure comfort food designed to have you slouch in your seat as you stuff your face with loveliness. we shared some brisket, fries and a couple of massive milkshakes – the rainbow cake we got toward the end proved a bridge too far but i regret nothing, it was amazing! highly recommend and will definitely return next time i’m up.

i find all of the cakes and sweet things here to be sickeningly sweet and slathered in artificial tasting butter icing. i personally believe that i could make a much better cake or dessert athomeand for probably half of the calories! some of the savoury items that i've tried i've enjoyed, especially the salad which taste fresh and clean.

finally enjoyed thehomesweethome'signature bake' - the apple pies baked inside a cake. the amount of calories this must contain is terrifying, the pie was a sweet pastry mr kipling style pie with those ultra sweet pieces of apple and the thick rich apple sauce all baked within a sponge cake baked to the usual high standards ofhomesweet home. the thick red icing (just look at how much there is in the middle!) and various sweets on top all added to a pretty ultimately over the top brilliant cake

when i was looking for cool places to eat at in manchester,homesweethomewas recommended few times , so we decided to try this place out for a breakfast. located in the colourful northern quarter,homesweethomeitself had a very charming vibe to it. the wallpapers are very 'homely' and the decor quirky.

the service is quite slow from the go (we got our menu late, food late and even bill late) but that's the only negative. the waitress was quite friendly and the food is worth all that it's praised.

we ordered a full breakfast and it was made to perfection. it had something called the black pudding (also known as blood pudding) which i loved the most)

we also ordered a blueberry and maple syrup milkshake - fantastic again! we finished it with a chocolate mint cake, which was just okay - although they are famous for their cakes - may be we should have tried other flavours.

in the end, i ordered a coffee - they serve it in a huge cup and i had to leave half of it, but the coffee was quite good.

we paid £17 pounds for all this, not a very cheap place, but then quality is great!

also, they have a funny twitter feed, worth following them!

and there's always somewhere new to go, although i have to say, i don't often go at peak time, i enjoy it most in the early evening or in the day when it's more chilled and i'm too old to queue anyway.
this time it was time to visithomesweet home. it's not new at all, but it's owned by the same people as almost famous, so i knew it'd be pretty good - it was.
we shared their house specialities cheeseburger toastie and a pulled pork bun and fries. they were both simply ace for what they were. we especially relished the cheeseburger toastie, i just regretted sharing it. next time i'm having one on my own. to follow, some lovely banana and avocado cake, and coffee. it was all good, i really couldn't fault it at all. most importantly it cost us about £20 for lunch for two of us which is decent value for the area. so, where to next?

so... i would definitely recommendhomesweethomefor all types of guys and gals looking for a bit of nice relaxation and yummy food. not pretentious at all either. great café and i will be going back there very soon!

home sweethomeis a charming ‘gourmet bake house & coffee bar in manchester's independently spirited northern quarter’ which specialises in “home comforts” – brekkie, cookies, cakes, coffee, tea, toasties, sandwiches, salads, sides and shares… that kind of thing. they also seemingly specialise in good cheer and great service.

home sweethomeis very northern quarter - the furniture is thrift store mismatched, the typeface on the menu a little barnum circus circa 1954 and the clientele is the usual mix of fashionably under styled hipsters, vintage inspired 30-somethings...
