A Manchester favourite which cannot be missed off the list is @gooeyco. This delightful company serves donuts, cinnamon buns, and what they’re famously known for… gooey cookies. These sweet treats come in a variety of flavours, from red velvet to kinderella, with a different special topping off the menu each week. They even opened their very first cafe just last week, so why not pop down there next time you fancy brunch.
