Heaven for me !
I love bread so this place is like heaven for me, fantastic variety of breads cheeses & meats. It does get very busy particularly on Saturdays and can be a bit off putting if you don't know what you want exactly as there is so much choice and the staff are busy. Keep up the good work n see ya soon
On Valentine's day me and wife both took off from work and decided to start the day with an amazing breakfast. We decided to go to this place. The whole place has a beautiful nature fragrance of bakery stuff. We decided to have poppy seeds Bagel with cream cheese, Cappuccino and egg sausage ciaba. Our breakfast was delicious. Mine best were the sausages which were made with the perfect combination of herbs & spices. Overall we loved it. I highly recommend. Sharing some photos. This place has seating outside.
Exceptional! Ordered the Reuben sandwich (with extra onions and extra cheese) and was not disappointed. The bread was as fresh as it can be, nice crunch to the crust, the fillings equally delightful. Such a treat on a rainy day. Fair price and good size. The smoked salmon bagel on an onion bagel very good as well – everything fresh, full of flavour, nicely and neatly put together and packaged. Highly, highly recommend!
People travel miles to come here me from Yorkshire (I'm on a nostalgia fest, I used to come here in the 1950's through 1970's when I lived locally).
Polish and Italian food and drinks, I note there is now an outside seating area for hot drinks and eats, plus a BBQ area.
I bought a selection of Salads; Nutty Ham and Polish Sausage for friends (I'm a veggie) and Poppy Seed Cakes to take back with me, all yum (carnie friends loved the meat).

Ramp to the right, then level.

Chorlton Library stop very close.
Staff:
Very friendly and helpful. The store was quite busy, but I did not have to wait too long to be served!
Definitely worth a visit!
It's a 60 mile trip for my daughter and I to go here. It's worth it. I always order and buy 10 loaves of protein bread. It is a wholegrain bread with seeds and does not affect my blood sugar at all and I can't get it anywhere else. I have a slice every morning with egg.
A very clean halal and tidy deli and bakery with olives and meat options with artisan grocery selection of basic dry staples and lots of interesting sauces and other delicious things in jars.
It's often a bit crowded and you can expect to spend a few minutes in the queue but it's popular for a reason. Their meats, breads and chees selection is always tasty and obviously high standards.
This Deli has such a place in Chorlton - the Onion Bagels, Freshly Baked Breads, Bacon & Egg Barms and Mediterranean sides and Meats are delightful. Prepare for a long interaction when paying but the staff are nice so I hardly mind.
A fantastic venue offering a wide variety of delicantesan foods, cheese, pasta, olives, jams, bread, cooked meats, pesto, sausages etc. Not only thst you can get jot food, coffee/tea to take away or consume indoors or on the front terrace. Highly recommended.
I buy my Polish bread here which is very good however the poppy seed cakes taste like dry sweet buns - year by year less poppy seeds - can’t taste them at all !!!
Just wow - what an amazing place!! I wish I had somewhere like this close to where I live in Wakefield. The choice was overwhelming, the staff super friendly and helpful. I went for a jam dohnut in the end which was absolutely perfect.
Will 100% be back to try their food in their outdoor seating area, it smelt amazing!!
This place is ALWAYS busy. From inside shop to outside eating stall. Plenty of variety. For someone who doesnt visit chorlton often, i came here because a friend gifted me money vouchers for my birthday. Deli meats, fresh bread, olives and cake. Easily spent £60 but so worth it.
A Chorlton institution and for a good reason!! 10/10 in every department, from the amazing selection of cheese and cured meats, the better than Gregg's pasties, too much good bread, unbelievable sweets and pastries! Sugared ring donut is my favourite, but anything you get is great!
I could write a long review or I could just advise you to go down and try it for yourself, everything fresh and lovely staff. Chorlton legend.
A fantastic deli with everything you could ever dream of. Really nice toasted sandwiches and good coffee. Incredibly busy yet friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again to try some pastries and sliced meats.
Parking is a bit hectic due to all the roadworks, so I would suggest taking the tram/ bus etc.
The Barbakan is a wonder bakery/deli full of many delights plus at the same time amusing and annoying. Warning to vegetarians and vegans....you have to queue which isn't a problem but you will be waiting next to a monster sausage barbecue right by the door, then once you get inside all of the delicious breads are clearly visible giving you lots of time to make a decision. However there will always be a number of people in front of you being served that have no clue as to what they want even though they have had an age to decide whilst waiting. Always worth a visit.
My months long search for the best bakery in Greater Manchester has finally ended.
Barbakan's Chorlton Sourdough loaf is outstanding and I'll be cycling down from Oldham until I've tried every one of their other loaves.
Good choice of food, nice staff and great outdoor to sit and chill!
Amazing place!!! Popped in for a bite on the off chance to get out the cold on Chorlton make/Craft day. We're outside undercover and it was beautiful very tasty and staff were very polite had a look inside a delicatessen looks very well stocked will be definitely coming in again
The array of bread on offer is second to none. The sandwiches and melts are delicious. They also do fantastic salads and patisseries. Add to that the meat and cheese counter and all the different pastas and the hot dog stand. The staff are both knowledgeable and highly courteous. This long standing business is truly one of the great jewels in Chorlton's crown. Well worth a visit!
