Pollen Bakery – KAMPUS

The flat white was good, but it had a bit too little coffee compared to the amount of milk. The eggs Benedict were a bit more sour than I expected.

The porridge was interesting: it was the first time we had it with compote. It was good, but too sweet for our taste.

All in all, a really nice place for breakfast/brunch, but I would probably try other places next time we are in Manchester.

•Basque burnt cheesecake £4.5 (⭐️6.8/10)
This gorgeously burnt surface attracted our attention once we entered the shop👌🏻The tip of the cake was slightly silky and custardy brimmed with a hint of vanilla flavour🧡, but the flavour from the cheese was subtle😢. My friend said it also burst with egg flavour, overall it was still a good cake!👌🏻
( but since we had the best ver of basque cheesecake in Spain few days ago, so we were not fully satisfied by this haha😂)

•Egg breakfast bun £9 (⭐️8/10)
Assembled with soufflé-like egg🍳, watercress🥬, kimchi-mayo🌶️, and the housemade soft sourdough bun🥯, what a great combo! The texture of the egg is kind of like a sturdy Chinese steamed egg, soft and quite fluffy✨. Paired nicely with the toasted bun, soft floury inside, and crispy outside. Worth trying!👍🏻

•Almond croissant £4.5 (⭐️7.5/10)
A giant almond croissant topped with a generous amount of almond flakes, gave it a very nutty taste🥰. Compliments beautifully with the flaky buttery croissant.🥐

Really nice aesthetic place. Great menu with a choice of pastries and breakfast buns and more. I had a pain au chocolate and fresh orange juice which came to £7.50. Partner had a coffee and sourdough toast with jam. Highly recommend this spot
