The Grove Bakery Cafe

Exceptional! Ordered the Reuben sandwich (with extra onions and extra cheese) and was not disappointed. The bread was as fresh as it can be, nice crunch to the crust, the fillings equally delightful. Such a treat on a rainy day. Fair price and good size. The smoked salmon bagel on an onion bagel very good as well – everything fresh, full of flavour, nicely and neatly put together and packaged. Highly, highly recommend!

The array of bread on offer is second to none. The sandwiches and melts are delicious. They also do fantastic salads and patisseries. Add to that the meat and cheese counter and all the different pastas and the hot dog stand. The staff are both knowledgeable and highly courteous. This long standing business is truly one of the great jewels in Chorlton's crown. Well worth a visit!

The Barbakan is a wonder bakery/deli full of many delights plus at the same time amusing and annoying. Warning to vegetarians and vegans....you have to queue which isn't a problem but you will be waiting next to a monster sausage barbecue right by the door, then once you get inside all of the delicious breads are clearly visible giving you lots of time to make a decision. However there will always be a number of people in front of you being served that have no clue as to what they want even though they have had an age to decide whilst waiting. Always worth a visit.

People travel miles to come here me from Yorkshire (I'm on a nostalgia fest, I used to come here in the 1950's through 1970's when I lived locally). Polish and Italian food and drinks, I note there is now an outside seating area for hot drinks and eats, plus a BBQ area. I bought a selection of Salads; Nutty Ham and Polish Sausage for friends (I'm a veggie) and Poppy Seed Cakes to take back with me, all yum (carnie friends loved the meat). Accessibility: Ramp to the right, then level. Car Parking: On street, however, there are extensive road works for installing cycle lanes. I was however able to park on a side street. Bus: Chorlton Library stop very close. Staff: Very friendly and helpful. The store was quite busy, but I did not have to wait too long to be served! Definitely worth a visit!

A fantastic deli with everything you could ever dream of. Really nice toasted sandwiches and good coffee. Incredibly busy yet friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again to try some pastries and sliced meats. Parking is a bit hectic due to all the roadworks, so I would suggest taking the tram/ bus etc.
