Loaf MCR, the cult Manchester bakery, will launch its new bakery unit on Oxford Road over Bonfire Night weekend. The bakery and cafe, which is ‘retro designed’ in bright pink, specialises in loaf cakes and will set up in the spot left vacant by Patisserie Valerie.
It’s the concept of baker Aiden Ryan, who started baking during the pandemic to raise money for the NHS. The cakes soon became a hit, with Aiden supplying more than a dozen cafes across the city, and high-end shops including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.
“It feels like forever since we got the keys to the old Patisserie Valerie, but it seems we’re finally here! I cannot wait to show you the store and all the love we've had put into it!” he said. “We think you will absolutely love it. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping make this a reality!”
