Sun's out. We're here at @grubmcr with our cold brew and pie (amongst other wonders) having a ball. See you soon?
Pecan pie straight out of the oven was voted one of the top five smells ever by me, just now.
De-stoning 5 kilos of cherries like it ain't no thang.
So good to be actually active again! Lucy here putting a final sprinkle to a fully vegan cherry pie test. These guys will be available at the #plantpoweredsundays @grubmcr this Sunday. We'll also have regular cherry pie, pecan pie and plenty of coffee all weekend! CAN. NOT. WAIT.
Wow. Overwhelmed by the response to our previous blog post. We've posted a thank you reply on our website covering some questions raised: http://www.idlehandscoffee.com/news/thankyou
Sorry if we've been quiet on the shopfront recently. We have an update here - http://www.idlehandscoffee.com/news/badnews. Link is also in our bio. It isn't good news I'm afraid. The photo here is from this weekend, trying to escape to get our head round everything.
Just having a mid-walk break.
Gus has joined @thesmithfieldnq party. With the fear of sound too Mancunian, its PROPER BUZZIN' in here. Cakes flying out! #mcrbeerweek is a good'un.
Coffee and beer a'flowing over at @thesmithfieldnq. Come join us for the @sirencraftbrew launch of the Barista series. Plenty of cakes too. And we're gonna bring Gus along to annoy everyone later this afternoon if that's your thing.
Reminder that tomorrow we're at @thesmithfieldnq from midday serving up coffee and cake. Feast your eyes on these. We'll have PEANUT PORTER CAKE, SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES, CHOCOLATE STOUT CAKE, KEY LIME PIME...not pictured are the BANANA BREAD, VEGAN MAPLE PECAN FLAPJACKS and the long awaited return of Lucy's BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES. The blondies are ridiculous, and once they're gone they're gone! You have been warned.
Cheers! Just seen that we've been nominated for best coffee shop in The Manchester Food and Drink Awards @mfdf2017 (http://foodanddrinkfestival.com/awards). Incredibly flattering since we've been working out of a building site this year! Voting doesn't close till Sept though, so if we haven't won you round yet, let us try once we reopen! Any votes our way would be most welcome. Either way, we're very honoured to be amongst such a great selection of coffee shops...Also vote @bundobust as much as you can obvs.‬ Gus is stoked.
Find us at @thesmithfieldnq on Sat 24th June! We'll be serving coffee and cakes (lots of beer themed ones) whilst they showcase @sirencraftbrew and their 4 coffee related beers! Can't wait.
Mayfield! Nice one @grubmcr. And nice one @wallaceandsonscatering.
‪Please make sure you vote tomorrow. It's important. Here's some thoughts.‬
Good morning! Apologies for the lack of posts whilst we continue to plan for the new shop. But yesterday we found out we're having a little baby girl. So there's some news for you. 🍼
That's one low sun. (Gus' album cover photo No.2654).
Little man. Happy as Larry.
