A popular dessert shop selling pancakes, bubble tea and ice cream has confirmed it’s opening a second branch in the city centre this year. Manchester-based dessert shop, Lazy Sundae, will move into the Arndale Centre, having already made it’s mark in the Northern Quarter.
Already a firm favourite on Tib Street, Lazy Sundae will bring its unique concept to the Arndale, adding to the centre’s diverse food and drinks offering, which ranges from coffee shops and cafes to international restaurant chains including Slim Chickens and Tim Hortons.
The home-grown ice cream parlour opened its first outlet in 2021 and has since gone from strength to strength. Their Instagram-worthy pancakes and unusual ice cream flavours have earned them a whopping 14.4k followers on the photo sharing platform.

At the new Arndale store, customers will be able to sample a travel-inspired menu of premium bubble tea, souffle pancakes and artisan ice creams. Guests are able to taste the flavours of the tropics, from Bali and Thailand to Malaysia and Taiwan, with flavours like milk tea, taro and matcha on the menu.
A spokesperson for Lazy Sundae added: “We are very excited to be joining Manchester Arndale. The site will form the flagship store for Lazy Sundae as part of our nationwide expansion plans. Customers will be transported to far corners of the world through our travel inspired offerings.”
The venue has agreed to take on a 1,305 sq ft unit on a 10-year lease, sitting alongside Manchester Arndale’s eclectic mix of UK and international retailers, making it the perfect mid-shopping pitstop. A date for their opening has not yet been confirmed.
Scott Linard, Portfolio Director at M&G Real Estate, said: “We’re delighted that an up and coming brand like Lazy Sundae has chosen Manchester Arndale for its newest location. We place great importance in having a truly mixed offer and it's fantastic to be able to support local brands as they expand.
“With such exciting leasing activity taking place, including recent retail lettings to MINISO, Gilly Hicks and Clarks, its clear operators across the board have long-term confidence in the centre. As we move into the new year, we hope to continue this bumper run, cementing Manchester Arndale as a dynamic and vibrant retail destination with a varied line up of exciting retail, F&B and leisure.”
