It is refreshing to find a great place today! Really lovely, attentive staff, great food and a perfect atmosphere - thank you!
I feel sensitive and also have to be careful with my diet and this restaurant is also very good in those terms. I have very sensitive hearing and today it is hard to find somewhere without horrible jarring music while you eat - I am very grateful for this place and the cold environment. The choice of beverage is excellent too. I don't consume sweeteners and many places only offer "diet" drinks. I had a beautiful Rhubarb & Rose drink and it was divine - and there was NO sweetener!
A beautiful gem in lovely NQ - thank you!
A very cosy and relaxing place to chill out and have the best coffee in town. It is one of the shops that I visit when seeking peace and comfort. The staff are friendly, though the service could be quicker.
This place is cool!
I have eaten at Home Sweet Home twice and it's fab! The food is great and the staff are super friendly. Really cool atmosphere and would definitely recommend a visit!
If not the best place for milkshake in town, I would say this is the best milkshake I've ever tried so far.. not to creamy, not to sweet but just right that on the spot. I ordered the kicker which the waiter suggested. Well best thing! The service is good, the place is nice too for relax.. long the way from Indonesia to here is worh it! :)
What a great menu. I could eat everything! If you like chicken, then this is a winner. So many great items.
Service was good friendly and informative. Drinks were fast.
We all had a mixture of mains. No complaints. Caesar salad was the best I’ve ever had and the halloumi fries.
Chicken waffles- fantastic!
This is comfort food I could eat everyday!
The food and cocktails were amazing. The chicken in a basket had a kick to it and it tasted delicious. The "WUNDER JAR" was delicious as were the extra skittles .... thanks.
The end to a brilliant day and so pleased so stumbled across this places. We will all return again.
Great place for brunch, a lot of choice. Staff helpful with advice on the menu and customising orders. Food came in a good time and tasted great. Just had to remind staff a couple of times about incomplete drinks orders when it got busy.
Amazing. Best breakfast/ brunch I’ve ever have.
So tasty, my parter ate the eggs calie and I ate the veggie scramble with artichoke that was so delicious that I could eat that every days of my life.
I sure recommend “Home sweet Home” to everybody that comes to Manchester.
There are no shortage of places to eat out in the Northern Quarter. All with their own unique style, branding and that little bit of Northern-Quarter-Quirkiness. When we decided to celebrate my sisters pre-birthday meal out at a place of her choice she knew exactly where to go and was happy that she could finally force us all into a place she had been craving for weeks. ...
Eggs Benedict on point! The restaurant at the great northern has definitely more space than the one in the Northern quarter (and a great terrace!)
Have eaten here forever but it never occurred to me that I've never written a review! And so here I am after my recent visit. I would say everything is fabulous at this place. Everything from cocktails, beer, burgers and nachos to their wonderful cookie dough skillet for two! Don't get this if you're not a fan of soft gooey sweet marshmallows and ice cream! Forget your high street American diners just head to this place.

Really liked this place. Popped in this evening for some grub and after some serious will power, opted against the fried buttermilk chicken, pulled pork shoulder and mountains of sweet potato fries for a more wholesome sizzling chicken fajita. Normally, I add chill sauce to give it the right kick for me, but this was done just right. The pot sizzled for ages afterwards which is always a good sign in my book. Service was a bit slow but I was dining solo so forgiveable. Good value and a great outdoor area ... shame about the weather mind you!
I had enjoyed a fantastic meal here with a friend. We had a salad, some chicken strippers and the steak board.
Great attention to detail and the food was mouth-watering. I was following a Ketogenic eating plan when I made my first visit here, they were very helpful in keeping the food to what I was able to eat.
I'm coming back here for a birthday freakshake now that I can eat carbohydrates!
The first thing that caught our eye about this place was their selection of cakes! They looked so good! We didn't try any because we were going for breakfast so it was too early on in the day! I had the Veggie Aynault, which was a vegetarian version of eggs benedicts! So good! Staff was also really friendly but there was a bit of a long wait so we decided to sit on the tables near the bar rather than inside the diner!
I'm not going to lie, the cakes look phenomenal but I wasn't to impressed by the taste. They were very very sweet and sickly! Milkshakes are good although also not suitable for diabetics 🙈
The main menu is what really bumps up the rating! Although I haven't had the delight of sampling the breakfast menu I have eaten at dinner time and thoroughly enjoyed it. There's something to suit every taste and appetite and if it's something a little bit greasy and comforting that you're after then this is most definitely the place to head to!
A HUGE selection of great, fun cakes. Anything as classic as chocolate cake to a pretty epic cookie monster or jammy dodger cake. Tucked away from the main High Street, perfect coffee and lunches.
Very cute setting with that NQ hipster vibe we all love
Took the boyfriend before a concert and he said it's the best pulled pork nachos he ever had
He intermittently bugs me to take him back.
Considering how hard to please he is it's safe to say our meal was a success
A very cute little cafe with a very warm vibe. The five dollar shake was just simply too good, and the main courses were also great, although a bit on the pricey side. The cakes look beyond amazing, I shall come back to try them out in the near future. The atmosphere was very comfy, the perfect place for a cute date. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back for many more times 👍🏼

Home Sweet Home
The name just strikes a good note with you. You get a vibe which says that this place will make you feel at home and fill your bellies with food made with love and perhaps we experienced just that.
From the moment you enter, no matter how many tables are already taken and how busy the servers might be, they will ensure that they greet you with a smile and guide you personally to your table.
On a hungry morning, we mapped our way to Home Sweet Home and were instantly enchanted by the feel good vibe of the place.
What did we eat?
Breakfast Waffle: Very pretty looking dish arrived at our table and I was ready with my weapons to cut through the waffle. I had a moment of pause here though, why is the waffle not crispy! Well I got over that soon as the eggs, bacon and maple made up for this. I hope they are not supposed to be like this? All my life I’ve known waffles to be slightly crispy? Or no?
Eggs Cali: Beautiful looking, brilliant tasting!
Sun Devil Scrambler: Yummy. Just loved the bits of Chorizo spread unevenly across the dish.
Strawberry, Nutella, Kicker shakes: Very filling and thick shakes as I like em!
Well done, will definitely visit again if given a chance :)
Love this place in NQ! In my role as an older brother, I thought I’d take it upon myself to show my little sister somewhere better to eat than you can get down in Stocky and took her up to Home Sweet Home whilst I was back in town for a weekend.
It’s pure comfort food designed to have you slouch in your seat as you stuff your face with loveliness. We shared some brisket, fries and a couple of massive milkshakes – the rainbow cake we got toward the end proved a bridge too far but I regret nothing, it was amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely return next time I’m up.
Great little cafe in the heart of Manchester's trending enclave. Nice reminder of Melbourne , Australia. Good coffee, friendly staff and fresh quality food. For those discovering the High St chain coffee is actually tasteless rubbish, then take a wonder down to the northern quarter to enjoy this and many other quality cafes.
Great experience all round. This quaint place has a strong buzz, friendly staff and (for my tastes) a great menu. Helen and I shared the chilli nachos, excellent, and followed those with a salad and a burger respectively. Both were good, the burger isn't an Almost Famous competitor but I really enjoyed it. Just watch the fries, they were well seasoned! We split a lovely gooey chocolate brownie to finish and were both stuffed! Great coffee rounded things off beautifully.
Well worth a visit.
Nice place with friendly attentive staff and quick service.
The chilli dogs are a must and the maltshakes are pretty good too.
Finally enjoyed the Home Sweet Home 'signature bake' - the apple pies baked inside a cake. The amount of calories this must contain is terrifying, The pie was a sweet pastry Mr Kipling style pie with those ultra sweet pieces of apple and the thick rich apple sauce all baked within a sponge cake baked to the usual high standards of Home Sweet Home. The thick red icing (just look at how much there is in the middle!) and various sweets on top all added to a pretty ultimately over the top brilliant cake
Roasted Sweet Potatoes

As always when we go there, Jon ordered Pulled Pork Pile Up (£9.50) which contains slow cooked pork on sweet potato fries covered in BBQ sauce, jalapenos, salad and apple slaw as a main. Although he thinks the menu is a little bit boring for meat eaters, he thoroughly enjoys this dish.

I was pleased to see it had been made using an actual toastie maker. If not, it is a toasted sandwich and to describe it as a toastie is false advertising (I often want to sue people for this very serious food crime).
Relaxed yet timely, homemade yet wonderful and simple yet thoughtful.
The full breakfast was generously proportioned and was one of the best English-style breakfasts I’d had in a while. The bacon was crispy and and all of the ingredients were of high quality: not the usual watery, tasteless mushrooms you get in most cafés. The Texan Skillet was excellent and the experience of jack cheese with spicy fried potatoes is one I hope to repeat in the future.
This place is busy! So we had a small wait whilst taking in the atmos and surroundings: lots of groups of hipsters, lots of girls catching up over a cuppa and a huge slice of cake, and then there were us! The decor is twee (Bless this Mess cross stich, vinatge chic etc), and there is a huge serving counter full of cakes and treats and this is also where the coffees and milkshakes are made. The staff are very pleasant and hardworking. In the back rooms the decor is a little bit more utilitarian.
And there's always somewhere new to go, although I have to say, I don't often go at peak time, I enjoy it most in the early evening or in the day when it's more chilled and I'm too old to queue anyway.
This time it was time to visit Home Sweet Home. It's not new at all, but it's owned by the same people as Almost Famous, so I knew it'd be pretty good - it was.
We shared their house specialities Cheeseburger Toastie and a Pulled Pork Bun and fries. They were both simply ace for what they were. We especially relished the cheeseburger toastie, I just regretted sharing it. Next time I'm having one on my own. To follow, some lovely banana and avocado cake, and coffee. It was all good, I really couldn't fault it at all. Most importantly it cost us about £20 for lunch for two of us which is decent value for the area. So, where to next?
Continuing with the comforting theme, ‘Jalapeño Mac ‘N’ Cheese’ was essentially a mug of liquid cheese with penne pasta and jalapeños floating around inside. It was by far the cheesiest Mac ‘N’ Cheese i’d ever eaten, I dread to think how many calories it contained but I loved every single mouthful, especially those with jalapeños.
As soon as I stepped through the door it became apparent that I had not been here before at all. Lots of quaint mis-matched furniture, a bar stacked with what seemed to be homemade cakes and lots of people. We were shown to what appeared to be the last table in the place. Such busyness always seems to conjure up conflicting thoughts. Firstly – well it must be pretty good as it’s full. Secondly comes the nagging doubts – the service will be bad and there’ll be a massive wait for the food.
Home Sweet Home is a charming ‘gourmet bake house & coffee bar in Manchester's independently spirited Northern Quarter’ which specialises in “home comforts” – brekkie, cookies, cakes, coffee, tea, toasties, sandwiches, salads, sides and shares… that kind of thing. They also seemingly specialise in good cheer and great service.
Home Sweet Home is very Northern Quarter - the furniture is thrift store mismatched, the typeface on the menu a little Barnum circus circa 1954 and the clientele is the usual mix of fashionably under styled hipsters, vintage inspired 30-somethings...
I find all of the cakes and sweet things here to be sickeningly sweet and slathered in artificial tasting butter icing. I personally believe that I could make a much better cake or dessert at home and for probably half of the calories! Some of the savoury items that I've tried I've enjoyed, especially the salad which taste fresh and clean.

When I was looking for cool places to eat at in Manchester, Home Sweet Home was recommended few times , so we decided to try this place out for a breakfast. Located in the colourful Northern Quarter, Home Sweet Home itself had a very charming vibe to it. The wallpapers are very 'homely' and the decor quirky.
The service is quite slow from the go (we got our menu late, food late and even bill late) but that's the only negative. The waitress was quite friendly and the food is worth all that it's praised.
We ordered a full breakfast and it was made to perfection. It had something called the black pudding (also known as blood pudding) which I loved the most)
We also ordered a blueberry and maple syrup milkshake - fantastic again! We finished it with a chocolate mint cake, which was just okay - although they are famous for their cakes - may be we should have tried other flavours.
In the end, I ordered a coffee - they serve it in a huge cup and I had to leave half of it, but the coffee was quite good.
We paid £17 pounds for all this, not a very cheap place, but then quality is great!
Also, they have a funny Twitter feed, worth following them!
A breakfast treat. It's quirky and kitch inside with mismatched chairs and tables. Breakfast was the order of the day and although a little pricey the food is great. I enjoyed the Sun Devil Scrambler which has now led me to decided there is no sin in having onions, peppers and potatoes at breakfast time. If you want a breakfast outside of the box this is your place.
MASSIVE pieces of cake. Nice coffee. Staff were really friendly. However, I've deducted one star because the toilet was in a bit of a sorry state and had no handwash. Luckily in this day and age I carry handsanitiser. Would recommend this place, but try not to use the bathroom.
EDIT:
Came here again a few months after the first review. Came here with my sister, her partner and their newborn. Staff were really friendly and warmed up some water so that we could make a bottle. Can report that the toilets were in a better state this time.
Beautiful place for a lunch or a piece of cake. The tacos and the fried chicken were top quality and very nicely seasoned. I came back to Home Sweet Home to sample some of their signature cakes. I had really high expectations on the PB jelly one but it didn’t taste of peanut butter at all so I had to return it because was just sweet and nothing special. The lemon meringue one though was really nice. The carrot and coconut cake was moist and heavy - tasted like a Christmas cake. Overall, I think I chose the least interesting cakes. Would happily give it another chance.
Fantastic place, food and customer service.
If you ever end up, their pancakes is also an absolute MUST!
Would recommend to anyone, especially if you just happen to be wandering about the Northern Quarter (NQ). Though there's so many other places to sit, this one is definitely worth stopping by to have a nibble!
I had Chicken waffles from Home sweet home. Buttermilk chicken, cripsy bacon, fried egg and waffles with maple syrup on the side. This was a fantastic breakie and my first time having chicken waffles, can't fault the food as it was awesome but I made sure I ate my egg before pouring my syrup as that combo scares me
Chicken was tender and boy did I feel dirty using it to mop-up syrup! Service was great and managed to seat us quickly despite being busy.
My partner enjoyed a vegetarian breakfast and really liked the veggie black pudding which I think tasted a bit like haggis
One of my favourite cafes in Manchester. Cozy and great atmosphere. The wait is a bit long on the weekends, but it's worth it. The staffs are friendly and food comes relatively quickly too. Highly recommend ordering something from their cake fridge! So delicious and very filling.
Home sweet home is one of my all time favourites and they did not disappoint today! I ordered the chicken burrito! It was absolutely delicious! I also got the strawberry milkshake which was just what I was craving! Staff are always so so lovely! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available! No complaints!
Lovely breakfast! Got the Full Breakfast and it was really good. I really enjoyed the tots and the sourdough toast. The staff were really nice and polite and made my visit a good experience. It was pretty busy in there too, so I would like to come back and try more of the menu. Really good spot!
Went here few times for their chicken waffle, pancakes and fried cauli flower, An overall good place for dining.
But as for pudding, I didn't quite like the selection of cake as it was too sweet and dry for me ✌
Love the refurb!! Great place to catch up with friends over breakfast and tea, lovely atmosphere. Their Earl Grey is some of the best I've had ❤️☕
The avocado, poached egg & smoked salmon toast was delicious. I loved the addition of sesame seeds and pomegranate & they give a generous amount of smoked salmon too 😋
Great staff girl who looked after us on Saturday was lovely. Food came a bit cold but we was so hungry we just carried on. I've had better meals from here before, took my lad for first time. He thought it was ok , we both had the chicken and bacon burrito 🌯, and shared some bacon fries. Overall it was good, just let down by the food obviously being left on the pass to long.
Staff were really friendly, the food was good. We came for breakfast and had very nice meal in one of the booths. There was a nice atmosphere and the overall aesthetic of the place was pretty cool. I would definitely recommend it for a nice breakfast
HIP & WHOLESOME HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Great brunch place! Food was filling and delicious. I had the veggie breakfast, which was a fair portion. The cheesy hash browns were a bit more like pre-mashed bubble-and-squeak, but they were a welcome addition to the meal.
My girlfriend had the salmon eggs Benedict, and she was a fan!
The wait staff were a bit rushed off their feet by the sheer amount of customers, yet still managed to be polite and attentive to our needs.
Overall, a stylish place for a brunch.
Nice Americano, American pancake breakfast was really nice. Fluffy pancakes, good bacon and a runny egg what more could you want. The first 2 servers we had were great, really attentive and friendly.
Lovely little cafe, with a nice choice of brunch items.
Would like to see French toast on the menu - but when wouldn't I!
Prompt and polite service.
Pancakes were delicious - would like my bacon crisper, but wasn't a big enough issue to mention at the time.
Tater tots with baconnaise - ooooeeeee yummers!
Be interesting to know if anyone actually reads my reviews, haha. Otherwise I'm basically Journaling.
Lovely place, great staff and really tasty food. Lots of options for anyone with allergies or dietary preferences. Nice atmosphere.
Love it here, they've recently upped their game on vegan offerings (the fried chicken is fantastic!), the desserts are always fresh and tasty, staff are delightful and friendly.
