The Grumpy Baker - Home of Artisan Desserts — Restaurant in Manchester

It was easy enough to message and book a collection slot, provide my order details alongside vehicle info so it would all be ready for my slot time.

The most difficult thing about the order process was deciding what to order due to the extensive and diverse options on offer 😍 I could easily have had one of everything on the menu 🤤

I called to say I had arrived and the staff member who answered the phone (not sure if it was TGB himself) fully played the grumpy part whilst still being very polite, I got the vibe that he wanted to fight me for turning up at the agreed time but would apologize for doing it 😂 10/10 for the experience and living up to the name!

My order was out within seconds of confirming I was outside to collect it - superfast and efficient service 👏🏽 and absolutely bang on time too, which is necessary because you wouldn't pay full price for late pizza would you?! 🤷🏽‍♀️👀 The bag contained napkins, cutlery and the most beautiful oud scented wipes, attention to detail is on point 👌🏽

I was super excited to try the Luxury Italian Tiramisu because traditionally although it is vegetarian, it ALWAYS contains alcohol which ruins it as soon as you look at the ingredients 🙄 now where do I start? Super light sponge, delicately soaked in the coffee solution so it still holds its shape nicely, beautiful cream surrounding it all and topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. Wow this was an absolute dream 😍 it was so light and airy I had it as a breakfast dessert with no issues 🙌🏽

The cheesecake. I shy away from getting Cheesecake for dessert anywhere as I always find it so heavy and rich with a rock bottom base. I've never liked the idea of baked cheesecake so hadn't tried it. I had The Cheesecake Factory and OMG! Mind literally blown 🤯 the cheesecake was so buttery soft, creamy and velvety all at the same time 😱 the toasted marshmallow added a beautiful sweetness that complimented the cheesecake as that itself was not overly sweet but an amazing vanilla flavouring throughout and the base was firm enough to stand but soft enough to cut through with ease. Absolute perfection 🔥

TGB is truly something special and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time for the opening of it, I look forward to trying more desserts next time I visit 👍🏽 wishing much more success for your business to come Insha'Allah ❤️

P.S. Apologies for the lack of pictures but I managed to inhale the desserts before thinking twice about taking...

CASH ONLY Phone orders only and they will ask for your car reg, once the order is placed they will bring it out to your car. The brother on the phone had poor communication skills, he wasn't very clear and didn't seem to understand the menu or understand English very well. He also didn't seem to put the phone down which was confusing because we didn't know if he had got our order.

We ordered the Kinder 2.0 and the Jammy Dodger milkshakes.

The wait was just over 40mins. We had to ring again to double check they hadn't forgotten our order thats how long it took.

The cheesecakes were very creamy and rich. Definitely tasty but it was over sweet which ruined the whole experience. Felt like there was way too much sugar in the dish that we were unable to finish it in one go. I've had a San Sebastian in a different dessert spot and it was nowhere near as sweet.

Sadly the milkshakes were the worst shakes we've had. No taste whatsoever apart from like a milk/cream taste. Felt like I had wasted my money as more than half of it went in the bin

Pros -

▪︎ Creamy/Tasty San Sebastian

Cons -

▪︎ Very Long Wait ▪︎ Oversweet San Sebastian Cheesecakes ▪︎ Very Bad...

I been here countless times. Now I have limited to once a week. I get the bully b cheesecake or molten lava cake with raspberry sauce. Sometimes though the base is hard which doesn’t help with the plastic spoon not being strong enough nicely presented though. The chocolate sauce does go hard quickly but you can ask them to give separately and you can warm then pour at home. Not a fan of the milk cake and small portion. The waffles Mancunian I used to get but since they change the packaging the waffles become rock hard and too crispy whereas when they were in the box type they were lovely tasting and bigger portions with generous amount of sauces but since introduction Of the flat box I feel waffles are smaller and not as good as previously (I’ve added a picture of how I used to get the waffles and were very tasty but I don’t know why change as made a big difference) and ice cream sorry but this was absolutely terrible as could tell you went and got the cheap Tesco brand

BUT the cheesecakes either bully b or kinder 2.0 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 and molten are...
