Gran T's Cocktails & Cake

Gran T’s Coffee House has been open on the border of the Northern Quarter and Ancoats since 2024, with their Altrincham site being a local favourite since 2017.

Having recently launched evening service at its NQ site, Gran T’s has now debuted their brand new cocktail and cake pairings with an entirely new menu that’s absolutely perfect for those with a sweet tooth.  We were gratefully invited down for a first hand taste!

Gran T’s eclectic interiors are the ideal setting for a relaxed ‘home-away-from-home’ drink, with a menu that also features all the classics including an our exceptional 10/10 Spicy Margaritas, which were a wonderful welcome tipple!

But we were there for the cocktail and cake pairings, and all were presented beautifully in their own little cages. The Pistachio Martini had a velvety smooth texture with a subtle pistachio finish, and its accompanying white chocolate & raspberry slice was moist & delicate!.

We also had the Blue Zest; a Blueberry and a Lemon Spritz, accompanied by a Blueberry and Lemon cake, which was our pick of the two cakes.  The cocktail was just as pleasing but much drier so will suit those in search of something to offset all the sweetness.

Other additions to the new pairing menu include The Bakewell, which sees a Cherry Negroni paired with a classic Bakewell Slice for that perfect combination of sweet and sharp. This is sure to be a favourite.

Also on offer is is the Salty Mocha, which unites a Caramel Espresso Martini with a moist Mocha Cake, perfect for coffee lovers.

The new after hours offering is the perfect treat for those who prefer to step away from typical pub and bar settings for an alternative ‘night out’, capturing the playful spirit of Gran T’s and bringing it into the evening.

There’s also an all new food menu which features a selection of small nibbles and wide choice of flatbread pizzas. We tried the Goat and The Italian Job and both were more than generous in size. The Goat was our pick of the two; a good combo of sweet and savoury with goats cheese and caramelised onion! Delicious.

Gran T’s new cocktail and cake pairing menu is served on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 5pm and 10pm.
