Customer Reviews
Absolutely awful. This place has no intention of listening to customers. I told them it was my birthday, I had £10, and asked if they could make a cheesecake. I was very clear about one simple thing: I do NOT like pistachio. Guess what they gave me? Pistachio sauce anyway. That tells you everything about this shop they don’t care what you say, they don’t care what you like, and they don’t care about basic customer service. Pay £10 and you’ll get a sad excuse for a cheesecake with four random sauces thrown on top, zero effort, zero thought. It feels lazy and disrespectful. If you enjoy wasting money and being ignored, go ahead. Otherwise, avoid this place. You will regret it👌👍
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 my favourites.
I finally tried the OG Kinder Cheesecake from The Grumpy Baker in Manchester - and wow, it completely lived up to the hype! The texture was spot on: super creamy and rich without being too heavy, with that perfect biscuity base that holds it all together. You can really taste the Kinder flavour - it’s nostalgic, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweet. You can tell it’s made with care, and honestly, every bite felt like a little dessert heaven. If you’ve got a sweet tooth or you’re a Kinder fan, this is the one to try. Definitely one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had in Manchester.
