/THE BEST OF MANCHESTER
Black Milk
Originally opened as a cereal cafe inside Afflecks, Black Milk has since relocated to a larger site on Oldham Street where it’s now better known for its outrageous freakshakes, served with giant slabs of cake perched precariously on top.
You can assemble your own from its delivery menu, building it around a choice of shake flavours, (£6.50, served in reusable glass bottles) with
Icestone Gelato
Founded in Yorkshire, this dessert cafe chain now has branches across the north including on Manchester’s Oxford Road.
Its creations range from gelato scoops and sundaes to cakes, crepes, cookie dough and chocolate fondue, all available to order via Deliveroo.
There’s also a range of old-school puddings that’ll take you right back to the dinner hall, including jam rolypoly and cornflake tarts.
Prices range from £3.85 for a scoop of ice cream, frozen yoghurt or fruit ice to just under £10 for the largest loaded waffles and sundaes.

My Cookie Dough has a seriously committed following, judging by the crowds at its Manchester Arndale stall (it recently opened another at the Trafford Centre, too).
Big dollops of dough are baked until warm and crispy, but still soft enough to dip into with a spoon, then loaded with various sauces and toppings.
Indulgent flavours include red velvet and Nutella, white chocolate and raspberry, Oreo, fudge and honeycomb, Biscoff, and coconut chocolate.
It’s available for delivery via Deliveroo.

Its menu includes classic confections such as éclairs, millefeuille and macarons in a variety of flavours, with prices starting from £1.40.
Delivery is available through Deliveroo.

Their doughnuts are also available for delivery on Deliveroo, but you’ll
