Hidden away in the up and coming Norther Quarter of Manchester city centre, Teacup on Thomas Street is one of my favourite places in the entire world!
Owned by local DJ Mr Scruff (Andy Carthy) this understated New York-esque Tearoom is the perfect place for whiling away an afternoon or two, and offers a variety of wholesome home made treats and lunches, all at very reasonable prices!
Flourless Chocolate Cake and a LatteI was first introduced to Teacup several months ago by a friend and it has quickly become one of my regular haunts, when I need to escape from uni work, or simply want a slice of their delicious flourless Chocolate Cake (and Oh how delicious it is!)
On my various visits to the tearoom, I've had the pleasure of trying out several of their sweet treats as well as a couple of their delectable toasted sandwiches, and I have to say that there isn't a better tea shop in the Manchester Area, for its food, service or atmosphere which are all second to none.
Panini's at noon
It's interior is an eclectic mixture of New York Cafe Chic and Cath Kidston Kitsch, and is unlike any other eatery in the area, offering a little taste of America in back streets Manchester. The Wedgewood-esque tea service also works to off set this quirky cafe perfectly, offering up the quintessence of Englishness into the mix!
The presentation of their food has the feeling of something really special, and that's exactly what you get. The sandwiches in particular are lovingly crafted and displayed on rustic wooden blocks accompanied by cute little espresso cups of coleslaw and radishes, creating the prefect expreience.
Cupcakes and CoffeeIf you're in Manchester and want to have the best tea experience the City has to offer, then go along to Teacup on Thomas Street, and get a taste of brilliance!
Happy Eating!
