Man: They're boxes of chocolates, made from chocolate and filled with truffles. Moi: *CLANG* *CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG* Luckily for the boyfriend he survived being clubbed over the head repeatedly with a frying pan and off to Otley we went. And there I was introduced to Mr Bun the Baker, sorry, I mean Trevor of Patisserie Viennoise. Creator of MANY WONDERFUL GOOEY CHOCOLATEY CAKEY TYPE THINGS. Things SO gooey and chocolatey and beautiful that you can hardly bring yourself to smash them into your mouth. For about 4 picoseconds. I never thought it would be possible to drop £35 in a patisserie but what the hell do I know? All I can say (seriously because my mouth is still stuck together with cocoa and butterfat) is that when a man buys you £35 worth of cake, florentines and chocolate truffles in a chocolate box made from chocolate it's frankly rude to pass on even the merest molecule of it. Slimming World. I am so so so so sorry.

After searching endlessly and fruitlessly for weeks online for someone who could make exactly what I wanted, accept payment internationally, and deliver it to my BF, I messaged Mama Bear's, and the owner is an absolute ANGEL. She worked with me to decide on exactly what to create. Even though the things I asked for aren't typically items that she makes, she told me that she was a "romantic" and would be happy to make a special order for me. She even ended up adding decorations on her own because she wanted to make it extra special! Such a lovely person to work with!!! Her husband hand-delivered the cake & chocolate-covered strawberries to my boyfriend on our anniversary and even passed along a special message. My boyfriend was totally surprised and absolutely impressed with the presentation of the gift itself. He also said that the cake and strawberries were incredibly DELICIOUS!!! He really tried to ration them out to last longer, but they were so good he couldn't help eating them within about a week and a half haha. Mama Bear is the greatest, and if you live in the area, you should DEFINITELY choose her shop! I'd be there for coffee and baked goods daily if I didn't live across the pond! haha.

At 8am on the drizzliest most depressing of Manchester mornings this place never failed to put a…read moresmile on my face. I started off going in here to buy some breakfast when I'd overslept or when my bread was mouldy. I would always get a deliciously fresh croissant. They are freshly baked every morning on the premises and only cost 50p each - cheaper than a slightly crisp round the edges Tesco equivalent. If you buy a coffee then a croissant comes for free (before 11am I think). This is not a pretentious deli. It's certainly no Barbakan. It can't really afford to be in the location it is in (among takeaways and next to Aldi and Iceland). However, it does do very tasty sandwiches which are very popular with the office workers from nearby British Gas. The management are absolutely fantastic. The guy is always ueber-cheerful even if it is drizzly, depressing and 8am, and the woman (his wife?) is also friendly. They often gave my housemate a free pot of soup with his sandwich at lunchtime and seem to genuinely enjoy everything about this business, which rubs off on the customers. The only negative point is that they don't open until 8am, which meant I could only go there if I was already late for work!

Take a closer look at Deli on the Grove and you'll come face to face with a hybrid, a beautiful and dangerous one, kind of like the creature in that scary movie Splice. Only... less frightening. When I encountered this place for my second visit one rainy, grey weekday lunchtime following the depressiveness that is the nearby SafeStore (seriously, drag!) I witnessed a first. A Deli lunchtime. Yep, the queue was snaking, *snaking* out of the door. Those sarnies sure are popular! And no wonder when I heard orders being taken - everyone was making up their 'wich bespoke, choosing the bread and the ingredients. When my turn came I was served by the loveliest and friendliest of young girls, and amongst all the available sweeties (Vienna almond cake, take note Andreas R, New York cheesecake, pastries, puffs, tarts and sponges as far as the eye can see) the banoffee wonder stood out for me. I had to partake. So it was wrapped expertly, gooey mess that it was (I'd have screwed that up for sure), and served up alongside my kick-ass awake-til-4am black coffee. I happily whiled away half an hour picking away at my cheesecake and reading OK. Guilty. But what a lovely half an hour - my noggin was truly rested afterwards. Anyway, clearly you want to know about the cheesecake. Disclaimer: ELH's pet hate is refrigerator cheesecake masquerading as real cheesecake. Anyone can mix Philadelphia with icing sugar and throw it on top of some crushed Digestives. Baked, please. This didn't disappoint. Banana check? Ripe and flavourful. Toffee sauce check? Rich and ridiculous. This cheesecake was epic, and I continued to pick away at it on the 84 bus (which stops right opposite), despite my lack of cutlery and the fact that I never eat on buses. That's how good it was. SafeStore boredom begone - any excuse to nip to Deli afterwards and grab a delicious salad pot, a bespoke butty or a naughty cake. And have I mentioned how awesome their coffee is?

There is plenty of staff wandering around and in fairness dressed quite smart in ties and waistcoats, i'm not sure if we were supposed to be seated by them but we just marched in a picked a place. I ordered the poached eggs on wholegrain toast (there didn't seem to be a choice of white) and a flat white; of course. My partner in dining ordered a croissant filled with gruyere cheese and button mushrooms and a béchamel sauce and a pot of tea. The drinks came almost instantly, it was a pretty good flat white and i liked the cup and saucer it came in; don't judge me I find it important how things are presented. The tea came on its own tray/chopping board that seemed to take up half of the table which proved a bit of an issue when the food arrived not 5 minutes later. No sudden movements please, nearly sent a piece of toast careening off to the next table. My poached eggs were cooked well, suspiciously perfectly formed and dome like as if created by some dark magic but runny inside so I was happy, and the toast was well - like toast I added my own butter. The croissant came with a side salad and was a decent sized portion, however the béchamel sauce made the pastry go stodgy, the sauce itself tasted a bit floury. Unlike other cheese and mushroom croissants this wasn't toasted it was a croissant that had be cut in half; had whole (not sliced) button mushrooms and cheese but inside then slathered in the sauce. Hate to say it but the Starbucks version is tastier and cheaper. With that all said and done, I would go back for coffees and breakfast. It's a nice alternative to the likes of Costa and Starbucks (we doth not mention Nero) and you can almost always get a seat.

It's a lot of fun! They have sweet and savory items, though as the shop name might indicate, they focus on sweets. It was suggested to me to get cake, which I did. Chocolate and banana. They had a red and blue cake (raspberry and blueberry), as well as a chocolate fruit and nut cake and a gluten free chocolate cake. These apparently change daily and on busy days, I'm told as often as four times per day. No promises the favor you wish will be available. As for the chocolate and banana cake, I was a little disappointed they use artificial banana. Fresh banana in cake makes it moister and has a natural banana flavor, which I'd have much preferred. The chocolate part of the cake was good and moist. The filtered coffee was good and strong. I think they had a multitude of other sweets near the register, too!
