I love the forecourt terrace where you can sit, take the weight off and watch all the frantic Christmas shoppers running from store to store. It's a real treat.

Huge selection of ice-creams with all sorts of flavours, enormous waffles and milkshakes! If for some reason all this is not enough for you - you can create your own treat by choosing base (e.g. a crepe or waffle) and select fillings. Gourmet coffees include less common cinnamon and white mochas, smaller portion is £2.5 and bigger is £2.7 - comparable to the leading chains by price but no less tasty. Specialty tea ranges include Chilli Chai - one of the best I have tried so far. The atmosphere inside is quite unusual for a dessert place - dark walks and disco-balls. It's located very close to Piccadilly gardens, meaning it's easily accessible by all types of transport.

I tend to go for the natural flavour in a medium pot with raspberry's and honey, this costs between £3.50 and £4. Totally worth it. They usually have 4 or so flavours on offer. Today they had natural, peanut butter, match green tea and mango. You can have a little taste before you pick. They have a range of toppings too, ranging from fruit to chocolate and a variety of sauces to top it all off. In addition to the yummy fro-yo they also sell coffee and tea, as well as snacks including delicious protein balls that are vegan and healthy. The customer service has always been 5* in my experience, can't fault the guys that work here. The actual shop is a fairly small unit with about 5 seats inside and a few outside when the weathers nice. To be honest I'm surprised they've got 5 seats in there but they have, and it's comfortable. Most people tend to buy to take away. I also like that they offer a loyalty card, after 3 visits you get a free topping and after 6 you get a free small fro-yo. A must visit.

Now *this* is more like it, Manchester. For eons I've been obsessed with fro-yo, lamenting the fact…read morethat I'd presumably have to hop on a Virgin Train to London to enjoy it freshly made, watching the supermarket freezer shelves like a hawk for the yogurt versions of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food and Fudge Brownie. Want to know a secret? I actually prefer frozen yogurt to ice cream. It's true. It cannot be touched in terms of light, delicious brilliance. So how excited was I when I saw the bright, inviting colours of Frurt on Whitworth Street West, just off Oxford Road round the corner from Cornerhouse? All kinds of. Shortly after spying that I joined my flat-hunting amigo in an estate agents' office two Saturdays ago and picked up a copy of Urban Life to flick through. What did I see but a Frurt advert, noting their opening weekend at the end of July? Oh, now I was even happier. While I didn't make it to their grand sample give-out due to weekend commitments, the hideously cloying weather had me making a beeline for their enticing, clean and fun-looking shop. I couldn't resist. Instantly I was intrigued by the Fruit Parfait, which at £3.50 is one of the best value things on the menu (and they're all great value, believe me). You get your generously scooped and whipped fro-yo, with a choice of four flavours - au naturel, chocolate, strawberry or green tea. As soon as the last one was mentioned I was decided. Then it's topped with granola, a delightful drizzle of honey and your choice of two fruits - for me it had to be strawberry and mango. Off I wandered... and I stopped. I'm so silly for thinking I could eat this on the go. It demands your attention. You have to savour and enjoy it, and I found myself a peaceful spot of street and gave my treat the focus it deserved. And I didn't want it to end. It was almost breakfasty with the granola, fruit and honey, and there are plentiful topping choices if you want to feel a little naughtier. Just know that the base fro-yo is stupendously healthy. Isn't that just awesome? Going to a movie at the Cornerhouse? Grab yourself a cheeky takeaway treat beforehand. They're open until 10pm each day and it's our duty as independent business-loving Mancunians not to let them down. Frurt is one of those specialist places we sorely need in these parts, so let's enjoy it!

Now, I'm no stranger to Frozen Yoghurt, and I'm well acquainted with this great city. But, as I…read morewalked through the smoky streets of Manchester this afternoon, I stumbled across something new to me. Froyoberry. A Frozen Yoghurt vendor. Healthy? Yep. Low in calories? Uh huh. Fat free? Yessiree. Thrills me to the chiselled bone. With a variety of flavours and LOADS of toppings to choose from, I asked the staff for some help. On the right side of friendly (rather than that suffocating over-friendliness), and well versed on the combos, they were only too happy to help. I went for the vanilla, teased with lashings of fresh strawberries and granola. Simply divine, as in, 'I never want to close my eyes again kind-of-divine'. Joyous. In fact, not shy when it comes to words, I'd go as far as to describe it as a 'mesmerising symphony of cohesion and excellence.' Just like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. Mickey brought magic to the mops and buckets. And here, Froyoberry brings magic to the Frozen Yoghurt. They have seating and free Wi-Fi in side, so I was able to kick back, indulge in my Froyo and tweet Samantha Mumba all at the same time. Yes, it's a glowing review. And, deservedly so. As a man who plies his trade in the city, I often spend hours each week wandering around looking for ways to inspire my team. Poetry? Sheer unadulterated rage? Business acumen? Sweets? Not anymore. Instead, next week, I'm ordering Froyoberry. Yeah, you heard me right, they deliver too. That's right Mohammed, the mountain will come to you. How bitchin' is that?! When they told me that, I was like, 'Yeah, boyyyyy'. Totally bitchin'. I hear you say, 'what about other Frozen Yoghurt vendors'? No contest. Froyoberry is the Napoleon of Frozen Yoghurt, pushing aside the papal idiocy of the competition and crowning themselves as Emperor. There wasn't a single second of my visit there that didn't have me cocooned in awe. I called in and fell in love with it instantly in a serious way. Why, it's wonderful - a perfect little place...if you have never been to Froyoberry, go there at once. I'll even give you a piggyback.

The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

It's located on princess street, a corner of Manchester Chinatown and next to the back of Manchester art gallery. It was managed by the owner of the hair salon next door. I went on a Saturday afternoon before some shopping in Chinatown. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. The light came in through the big windows and reflected on the clean blue furniture inside the coffee shop. It's such a small but cosy place. The tone insider is clean, simple and relaxed. They have a wide range of freshly baked cakes varied from chocolate, French macaroons, peanut butter brownie, and rocky road to sponges etc. The beverage selection includes most popular coffees, teas and funky cold soft drinks. I had a flat white with an orange &almond cake, which was £3. It was a great deal for a coffee and a lovely cake. They have their own roasters and the coffee was strong and aromatic. There was no fancy presentation on top of the coffee but the taste was pretty decent. The cake was spot on. I do not like the heavy sugary cake much (yeah, I know) and this cake was moist, melting in the month and rich in flavour. It's a very chill out place and it's perfect for relaxing after shopping in town or before meeting someone for dinner in Chinatown.
