Perhaps you’re after our vegan breakfasts, fresh berry porridges or avocado sourdough. The BSC team is here with freshly-made, award-winning all-day brunches.

Buoys

Our ‘buoys’ became a signature dish over 10 years ago, and they’re still a fan favourite.

There’s nothing quite like a sarnie in the morning! Grab and go with one of our smoked bacon or Cumberland sausage sandwiches on white or granary bread.

Breakfasts and brunch

BSC ‘s all day breakfast in Manchester is the only fry-up you need. Stop by for your choice of eggs, sausages, smoked bacon, black pudding, tomato, mushrooms, beans, hashbrowns and toast. Our vegetarian fry ups comes with the works, including veggie sausages and smashed avocado. If you’re big on eggs, why not try our roast ham with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, all resting on a crunchy, toasted muffin.

Do you prefer fish? BSC’s egg’s Royale switches roast ham for smoked salmon. For sweet vegetarian breakfasts in Manchester, guests love our banana and canned pecan porridge.

Where do I start? This place has blown every other brunch spot out of the water. From the amazing customer service to the breathtaking food: I had the famous Buoy and blueberry pancakes, and it all tasted spectacular.

Fantastic coffee, staff and food! I love how welcoming and attentive everyone is, I go quite often and every time I do they ask about my day and have a nice conversation.

★★★★★

Hats off to Chef Dennis & Damian! Five very happy (and full!) customers – including two fussy boys who gave the pancakes top marks! I had the veggie breakfast, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The veggie sausage was especially delicious – full of flavour and perfectly cooked.
