Love Saves the Day is a small coffee shop and deli on Deansgate, right at the bottom next to Deansgate Locks and the station. With seating for less than ten, and standing for the same again, this can get packed on a lunchtime. Freshly made sandwiches and snacks, as well as award winning coffee makers, are the reason why.

A new Love Saves The Day in the Northern Quarter - part coffee shop, part deli, LStD is Manchester's leading independent coffee house and their first venue on Deansgate does a roaring trade.

A neat little deli opposite the old UMIST building. Great coffees, and fresh morning goods (they usually run out well before lunchtime). There's four rows of groceries too, and a good choice of drinks, plus a unique selection of cigarettes and alcohol.

A hidden gem that's well worth the ten minute car ride from central Manchester. Part deli, part coffee shop, housed in a three storey former pub. Up in the attic is a purpose built centre for training chocolate chefs, on the ground floor is a well appointed deli and cake shop, whilst on the first first floor is an award winning cafe. The menu is so extensive that there's barely enough room to fit all the dishes on.
