USA-inspired Alabama’s All American Eatery – opening early March 2016 (see cinnamon bun in pic)
This new brunch diner in the NQ/Back Piccadilly area has snuck under our radar, and is set to open on or around Monday 7 March, serving up breakfast and brunch food. Service is day times only and the cakes look particularly good. Keep an eye out for a full review coming soon.

Teacup at Left Bank
The empire is growing. Building on the long-standing success of Northern Quarter-based cafe Teacup, the team behind the business are opening a permanent fixture at quickly expanding Left Bank. Having recently opened a cafe at Manchester Museum (where, yes, they are still serving their usual £4 tea, although apparently you can ask for a secret cup of off-menu, £1.50 ‘teabag’ tea), co-running Proper Tea and with a Town Hall outlet in the pipeline, Teacup has got your back for all tea and cake requirements across the city.
