If this place was in the Northern Quarter it would be packed to the rafters all day long and even though Bromley Cross isn't the busiest of places during the week they seem to have decent footfall - I hope that continues. My girlfriend loves finding healthier food options and with Earthlings being a vegan cafe you have a nice selection of meals and snacks that won't hurt your wallet or waistline. She has in fact eaten here before and raves about the food so give that a try if you're stopping by! Coffee was great though and they do have the option of 'regular' diary milk to add to your coffee as appose to options that would fit the vegan tab - which is great if you don't want to change up the taste of your brew :) The cafe has lovely decor and friendly staff - really happy it's opened up so close to home!

I visited Earthlings on a Saturday for lunch and as soon as I walked in I was impressed. The staff were very welcoming and I found it to have a lovely interior with cute decor and many tables to choose from! The menu was great - it is all vegan so don't expect eggs or any form of meat although you can get hot drinks with dairy milk rather than dairy alternatives! It cost me and my dad £20 exactly for 2 lunches with a side and 2 coffees, which was very reasonable! All round great little spot, I hope it does well and will be visiting as often as possible!

The staff are extremely friendly, I've seen the same young guy on shift every time I've been in and he makes you feel welcome every time, although I bit sorry for him having to be at work, early doors on the weekends. They have a good staple selection of traditional breakfasts, no fancy bagels or Benedict's of any sort to be found, which is not a bad thing when they use quality local sourced ingredients. As Raam pointed out in his review they use meat from Axons of Didsbury which is only a few doors further down the road. The coffee is very good and warrants a second cup with your breakfast and they've even served my friend an ultra big size each time he's asked even though it's technically not on the menu to provide him with his caffeine fix. Although I'm not a tea drinker I have it on good authority the tea selection top notch and they provide you with all the sundries which appear necessary, a separate milk pot and extra hot water provided with your loose leaf tea. There are newspapers provided and free wi-fi for those more technological media addicts. They promote local artists work on the walls as well which is a nice touch and most of the work is for sale if anythnig takes your fancy. It's something I've seen more and more in independent cafes and it's a practice of which I thoroughly approve. The only criticism which is more about the location. The tables are on the small side and wouldn't really accommodate a large group of people, this however adds to cosy cafe feel, as long as you a friendly enough with those you are eating with. It can however be a bit of a squeeze past if people are ordering or paying at the counter as you are trying to enter or leave. All in all a solid independent cafe just of the Didsbury high street, with great staff and a pleasant community feel.

Right now I am in love with their baked eggs with avocado and granary toast, but on a recent visit my friend tried their baked eggs with chorizo and really enjoyed it. The menu features a nice selection of sandwiches and egg dishes and is a nice, comfortable spot for a cup of coffee/tea and conversation. Be sure to check out their daily selections of cakes and pastries on display at the entrance!

Located in Derby Square in Liverpool centre, just off Lord Street, close to stores such as Tesco…read moreExpress, Nationwide and Debenhams while opposite Lloyds and TSB bank, this branch of Pret is probably the larger and more relaxing branch the chain has in the city centre out of the three they do have, it is accessed through a step but a ramp is available if you can't use the step. I called here to grab some soup to take back to my hotel room to have with a sandwich, later on, I called at around 2-3pm and the soup section was already depleted, having run out of most of the large soups other than the "Souper Tomato", both flavours of chicken were only available in a small, being upset with this I asked them if there was anything to do, the staff seemed really helpful and friendly and offered to phone the other branch in Liverpool to ask if they had one in stock and could put it aside for me, sadly they didn't answer - the friendly staff then offered to give me two of the small soups and combine them into a larger one for me, meaning I'd get the larger soup without having to pay for two small ones which would cost more. My "No Cream of Chicken soup", which like all Pret stores was described on the label as "A naturally creamy soup made without cream by blending celeriac, fennel and cauliflower. Simmered with shredded British chicken, celery and flavoured with mixed herbs." The soup was really good quality, it not only smelt and looked fresh but tasted it too, even a few hours after purchase, having to warm it up back at my hotel, the quality remained, to the point where it is probably one of my favourite soups at Pret now, alongside their Souper Tomato variety, the latter which they do every day compared to the No Cream on Chicken which is just a weekly special. Considering the store shuts at 6pm, which is two hours earlier than the Pret branch on Paradise Street, they do really need to consider making more batches of soup in both sizes, as once they had made two smalls into a large soup, there was none left - I have never had this problem at a PRET store before, with my local branches at Manchester - Deansgate and Manchester - Piccadilly having a lot more soup in stock at that time. The branch inside looked quite nice, it was one of the more relaxing coffee shops in the city centre of Liverpool, especially compared to many branches of Dunkin and Starbucks which seem to be either darker, smaller, busier or perhaps a combination of more than those factors, making this a great place to grab a relaxing drink and perhaps do some work in the city. Adding the fact the staff here were ace, despite some negatives such as the stock of soups (and even half the sandwiches were out of stock), this is a decent branch to warrant a four-star rating, I feel it has done enough to grab a four-star rating due to exceptional service in a good, central location while providing good quality food at competitive prices, although possibly having more ready-made food such as the soups and sandwiches is vital to improve.

Have no fear intrepid spendaholics your redemption is close to hand. Fast food indeed in a well known franchise style if not quite French style. The thing that impresses at Pret a Manger is the very rapid service even a seemingly endless queue will go down in a matter of moments. Almost on a par with the speed is the high quality and freeness of the food, m y particular favourites are the soups which are heart and veg filled spicy treats in themselves. Watch out for the lentil and bacon or the spicy meatball, it will blow your socks off. The only problems lie in the popularity especially as you would guess at lunchtime when you can obtain food , but not always a table as rapidly. The successful tactic here is to split your hunting party into those scavenging for edible treats and those scouting for a table and hope you can reunite to enjoy your tasty snacks.

Good spot for specialty coffee, breakfast and brunch, with plenty of vegan options…read more I stopped in for a breakfast bowl (£10), seeing as it could be made vegan. They were out of tofu scramble when I visited, so they subbed in vegan sausages for the halloumi and eggs instead. The food came out in about 10 minutes. The portion was plentiful, coming with lots of sweet potato (actually yam) hash, mushrooms, cherry tomato and onion, mashed avocado, and 3 vegan sausages. Spiced very lightly, but that worked well enough given the nice mix of items here. Nice spot right in the centre and super close to the train station. Recommended.

The atmosphere was really homey which I loved! The Brekkie Bun made of a potato brioche bun was filled with a sausage patty, bacon , fried egg , cheddar cheese & sweet red pepper sauce. I wanted something to satisfy my breakfast roll craving and this did the job. The pepper sauce was a nice addition to it. It was my first time trying a mimosa and it wasn't too bad. The cinnamon bun was nice too. I do prefer cinnamon buns to be warm rather than cold but apart from that, it was a nice way to end brunch. The staff was all really nice and I believe this place is also dog friendly. Was eyeing the Banana French Toast on the menu so if I got the chance, I'd definitely go back.

The vibe inside is chill, relaxed, and the perfect setting to recover with some seriously satisfying food. I'm already craving a return visit.
