Our Story: Stella & The Bakery Cafe

A small, traditional cafe on Manchester Street — Stella runs it day to day.

Cosy interior of The Bakery Cafe with traditional wooden tables, blue chairs, and vintage wall art

The business was Ernill’s before Stella took it on in 2005. Anything from the bakery side — pies, loaves, cakes — is still baked at Ernill’s in Bury; we stock and serve it here.

You’ll get bacon, bread and coffee on the go most mornings. Stella opens before the busy spell, sets the tables and works through the jobs she’s always had on this street.

It’s a traditional cafe: local food where we can source it, plain-sized plates, wooden tables, bits on the walls she’s collected over the years. A lot of people who come in she knows by name, including how they take their tea.

If you want to know what’s on the counter today, ring Stella on and she’ll say what’s in.

What’s out changes by the day. Below is the sort of thing we usually stock.

“Lovely little cafe. The toast was perfect with real butter, great coffee too! Great selection of cooked food, cakes, pies etc at reasonable prices. The lady who was working had been there for years, she was lovely and friendly. We will definitely be going again.”

“We popped in to while away a rainy half hour with tea and cake. The array of local delicacies was a real delight and the two we tried were beautifully fresh. Friendly clean, comfortable, and with pleasant staff. An added bonus was being able to walk out with a loaf of regular bread made on the premises.”
