Located on the lower ground floor of Selfridges in Exchange Square, San Carlo Gran Café isn’t your average patisserie in Manchester.
Home to the famed pistachio torte, Gran Café offers a selection of homemade, signature Italian pastries and cakes, alongside a tempting lunch menu and a spectacular Afternoon Tea for Two.
Renowned for its exceptional all-day breakfast and brunch, Gran Café is a go-to destination for morning and midday indulgence in Manchester. From perfectly brewed coffee to beautifully crafted breakfast dishes, the café offers a refined yet relaxed start to the day.
The charming interior – featuring marble tables, pale blue leather seating and a striking nickel-plated central island bar – provides the perfect backdrop for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon shopping break. Overhead, a chandelier custom crafted from Murano glass discs creates a dramatic ceiling scape reminiscent of the glamorous ballrooms of Venice, adding a touch of Italian elegance to every visit.
No, you don't need to make a booking for Gran Cafe. Simply walk in and a member of the team will be more than happy to seat you.
Yes, the San Carlo Afternoon Tea is served all day, every day. Choose from our traditional Afternoon Tea for Two or a Champagne Afternoon Tea for Two. Please see the Gran Cafe Manchester menu for details.
