Top Five Dessert Parlours in Manchester

We all crave a little sugar sometimes and when noting else will cut it, head over to one of the many outstanding dessert bars in Manchester and tuck into a slice of scrumptious cake or some sensational ice cream in innovative and popular flavours.

After all we are now all grown up and no one is going to make you eat your broccoli before you can go for the sweet stuff.

So we promise not to judge if you don’t finish your main and skip straight to desserts.

Here are the top 5 dessert bars in Manchester where you can get your sugar fix.

Gingers Comfort Emporium

You’ve probably seen the chic and trendy “ice cream van for the grown-ups. This dessert wagon is mainly to be found after dark, when the children are safe in bed, roaming the streets of south Manchester.”

And now luckily for us they have a permanent residence in the Northern Quarter, on the first floor Afflecks Palace.

The charming space holds ice cream with the most unique flavours, and you choose to relish in it with either toasted brioche, hot puddings, affogato style, or milkshake.

Its up to you, whether you go for “creamy, fruity, nutty, chocolatey, meringuey, spicy, boozy, crunchy, refreshing, comforting iced desserts” but one thing is for sure no matter which one you go for you’re going to be left flabbergasted.

The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings.

And their American style pancakes are the ultimate treat for any sugar junkie.
