Hidden Gem in Manchester

Well I have finally found a hidden gem in Manchester!

Café Mod pop is a fantastic little café located in the basement of the Pop boutique clothes store and Barbarella barbers shop. Obviously the name gives it away a bit but this is a mod café, so expect to see lots of the mod signs about the place! One of the people who work there looks like Paul Weller, which is brilliant! The staff are very friendly and provide a really great service too. It’s a vegetarian café, and the food is of a really high standard as well as being really good value for money. They serve an all day veggie breakfast as well as other meals such as a mixed bran chili, veggie bangers and mash and a hummus plate. This is the only place where you can have a peanut butter and banana toastie and they are scrummy! They sell a range of hot and cold drinks, a mug of Yorkshire tea is a pound! All food is homemade and freshly prepared in the open kitchen. When you walk into the café it feels like you have walked into the 70s! There are retro sofas and tables and vintage wallpaper which gives the place a brilliant vintage feel to it! The atmosphere is great and it’s a very comfortable place. One thing I noticed in particular was that the older generations of people feel just as comfortable as the young people in here, I went in with my mum and she commented on the same thing! Its great because it means there are a mixed bag of people old and young and the large round tables invite customers to socialize with those around them.

This is a great place to come if you are sick of the same old stuff from the high street, it’s a great little place you can just chill in! I LOVE IT!!!
