Inside Manchester Press
Walking down Little Bourke Street you could be forgiven for passing by Rankins Lane without a second glance, but if you did take a peek down this laneway, you would most likely see a group of people huddling around a small entrance, waiting to be seated to get their fix of delicious bagels and coffee from Manchester Press.
This hipster hangout features a modest layout with a basic kitchen set up and a simple menu that doesn’t stray too far from a selection of bagels and drink choices of coffee, tea and juices. This buzzing brunch spot simply sticks to what they know and certainly serve it up well. I have to admit that each time I come here; I just cannot go past choosing the ’12 hour pulled pork with lettuce, BBQ sauce and home-made appleslaw’ bagel – so amazingly delicious and tasty, everyone I have taken here just loves the pulled pork bagel too! The ‘fruit and nut bagel topped with mixed berry, mascarpone, strawberries and pistachio dust’ is also a popular choice and looks heavenly.
Pulled Pork Bagel
This café can get quite busy, so if you plan on dining here on a weekend, try to get here early to avoid having to wait what can become up to 20 minutes to be seated, and seating is generally on share tables, but once you order, food generally doesn’t take too long to arrive. The coffee here is excellent too, and if you’re lucky you may be treated to some artistic latte art!
This casual dining spot is great for a brunch date or a great choice for an early morning breakfast and coffee before a big day of shopping in the city! Excite your friends by navigating them through the city laneways to uncover this hidden gem.
