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 Love Cheesecake!…read more I have indulged in the pleasure of eating many cheesecakes from a variety of vendors, and I can say, hand on heart that, the Manchester Cheesecake Company produces the best cheesecakes! I had the pleasure of trying a (mini) cheesecake from here when he had a stall at the University of Manchester market, which occurred every Tuesday during the Semester. Although, the Manchester Cheesecake Company, was only there fortnightly, Pietro, the man behind the company, quickly became a favourite vendor for the whole of my office. The first cheesecake I tried was the hazelnut chocolate one, mainly because I love any hazelnut and chocolate combo! It was a nice creamy rich chocolate with a Ferrero Rocher on top. How amazing does that sound! Although, it was a little sweet for me, it was still delicious! The next time the cheesecake man came to visit, I thought I would go for a plain cheesecake with a fruity topping, and these cheesecakes were even better! Amazing! I bought the blueberry cheesecake, which contained blueberry within the cheesecake itself! I think this is my favourite! The cheesecake is relatively standard, but the taste is unbelievable! The other cheesecake I sampled (because I bought it for my girlfriend, of course!), was the strawberry cheesecake. This had a nice strawberry mousse in the middle with half a strawberry resting on top. Here is a tip: Let the cheesecake sit in the fridge for a day (if you can!) to let the mousse settle, and then it would be absolutely delicious! The market is no longer on, but my office now has cheesecake delivered every two weeks. Yes the company delivers! The Manchester Cheesecake Company also frequents Levenshulme Market and Moss Side Market. Check out their Facebook and Twitter for more details! If you don't believe how good the cheesecake is, then try it for yourselves. Next time, I will sample the lemon cheesecake and rumour has it, Pietro even does a cookie dough cheesecake! Whatever I try next, I know, it will be immense! Find this blog on mcrphil.blogspot.co.uk

I called on Wednesday and asked if they could prepare a cake for that Friday and they were very nice about it. All I had to do was email the details of what I wanted to their main email and they sent me a confirmation. One of the best parts is that they actually delivered the cake to my house! I'm a student and I don't have a car so this was a huge help! When the cheesecake arrived it looked gorgeous with raspberry swirls and fresh raspberries on top. Everyone loved the cake and it tasted delightful! I would definitely order another cake from them in the future. It also was great that their prices are extremely affordable. So many cake shops in Manchester charge 30+ pounds for a cake and this cake was only 18 pounds. A very reasonable price for the quality. Order from here, you will not regret it!

My only gripe is that I'm not over that side of town often enough, though my waist line will tell you thats a good thing! I had been excited for months at the prospect of MilkJam arriving and I was definitely not disappointed!

The lady behind the counter was very patient, even though it was nearly closing time, and talked us through the options and her recommendations. We'd just pigged out at a Chinese restaurant so went for a light option - only joking, of course we didn't! We each had ice cream and a brownie. I tried to go for the more unusual options so ended up with the Chorlton Brewery dark Vienna beer ice cream (!) and a New York Magic Cookie brownie, which had crumbled digestive biscuits and dessicated coconut in it. They were both very good, I was really impressed with the ice cream in particular. It had a distinctive beery flavour while still being creamy and delicious. It's not exactly cheap at £5 for a brownie and ice cream, but so worth it for a treat and a fun place to take friends.

My recent visit here owed more to parking convenience than anything else. Treats was not far from receiving the coveted 5 star rating. Unfortunately the ice ceam flavour range isn't as extensive as its competition. The sponge cake however was delightful, and had a very likeable home made flavour to it that I love. This basically means that the cake was baked to perfection and whoever made it didn't go OTT with adding all the bits & bobs. Kept it simple is what I liked. Bit of jam in the middle an appropriate amount of cream & voila. None of that American shoving every known ingredient and what not into the cake until there's not much cake left to taste. The Dime bar cake also received the bog standard response from me; GLEE. However I must say Delights is still my numero uno for all ice-cream/faluda/cake cravings. But this isn't too far off the mark and I would certainly recommend it.

Treats is no exception to the rule and you can grab your milkshake or anything with sugar in for £2.50. Just like sweet box down the road treats can be a chronic problem for your digestion if you have no self control. I will sit in there and gorge, 5 minutes later I'm at the tip of the iceberg of a sugary high.

Free wi-fi means you can sip your caffeine whilst staying productive. And the collection of mismatched vintage/antique teacups, saucers, teapots, and cutlery round out the ambiance in a unique way. Whether it's for a bit of studying during the week, or a spot of tea to warm your hands with as you catch up with a good friend on a lazy afternoon, this wee shop makes for a fine socialising destination well worth taking advantage of.

You can eat in or out with just a small number of tables for the even smaller number of days of sunny weather.

After hoping to relive nostalgia on what must have been the quietest night on Canal Street, I cast a gaze once more to the brightly coloured Archie's on the way back to Piccadilly Station and thought it too late for a fattening late night meal. I ultimately gave in and what a treat that was. I absolutely could not resist the Butterscotch Shake, which turned out to be amazing, to a point where I was sucking in the straw to get everything out of the cup and was equally delighted with the Good Burger, which I inhaled on the return train journey back to the hotel. This was definitely worth the stop.

Ice cream parlours have been laying eggs along the curry mile without incident for a while (That…read moremakes sense right?) The student population can't seem to get enough of sugary treats in American sized portions at Asian prices. Majority of these places are therefore understandably rowdy, with excitable young (and old) folk vociferously conversing high on sugar. For as long as I can remember I've frequented Moonlight as my Ice cream vendor of choice. They've been around for a while and the service is impeccable. However it is a tad cramped for space and is regularly very busy. Delights is the new kid on the block and is rather impressive indeed. First thing you notice about the place is its size. I've never eaten in but the space results in a more relaxed atmosphere, larger groups are barely audible sat at the back while you order. The menu is just as impressive if not more so than Moonlight with my personal Faluda coming in a special "Kulfi" flavour. This particular flavour isn't exactly Vanilla and most of you won't know of it. All I can say is give it a try. The creamy taste and the flavour it produces due to pistachios and almonds being grinded in with the milk is just sublime. The plethora of ice cream flavours alone is reason enough to pop in for a few scoops. The turkish delight literally floored me when I first tried it in a mini re-enactment of a male version of that When Harry met Sally scene. (Unlike Meg Ryan'sreaction, mine was a more muted "damn this is good". In my head things were happening though) It was divinity in ice-cream motion. I'd highly recommend it but wouldn't mind if all you Yelpeeps stayed away either so I could hog this place for myself.
