Permanently housed in the Barton Arcade, a small but beautiful shopping centre between St Ann’s Square and Deansgate, is Pot Kettle Black. This cosy café serves up both excellent coffee and an inventive brunch menu (8am-4pm daily) – we particularly recommend the Poached Eggs, Fetta and Avocado on sourdough bread. There are comfy seats, wifi and plenty of plug sockets here; Pot Kettle Black may be off the beaten track, but’s bang on in our books.
