Pollen Bakery Ancoats
Greater Manchester, Manchester - Bakery
Few spots in Manchester can match the joy of a sunny Saturday morning at Pollen — the OG Ancoats site that started it all (a second can be found at Kampus). Bag a canal-side seat, settle in with a well-crafted coffee and take your pick from a glossy, caramelised kouign-amann or a perfectly laminated croissant. The team's longstanding commitment to quality ingredients and technical precision produces bakes that punch well above their weight. A destination worth every minute of the queue.
