Manchester Press @ Rankins Lane, Melbourne

This place is quite hidden... but once u spot the man, you can find the place. Find the hidden man below along Rankins lane.

Did you guys spot the hidden man? Not too bad right... skinny man though.

Upon entering, everywhere is just buzzling.. crowded with people, waiters walking around, people talking.. you just can't help but smile cause you know you've come to the right place.

The menu consists mostly of bagels.. bagels with eggs, toasted bagels.. sweet bagels, savoury bagels etc. But they all taste pretty good. My friends and I ordered the fruit and nut bagel topped with mascarpone cheese and berries along with pistachio dust! SUCH A BIG SERVE, such guilty pleasures. Great flavours, lovely combination, the tanginess of the berries cuts through the heaviness of the mascarpone, great choice.

Next up, spinach and feta cheese on a poppy seed bagel. So fresh, so green, just by looking at it, makes me salivate.. bursting with flavours!

And of course, a cup of caffeine fix is a must. So, there you go, freshly brewed, presented nicely.. cappuccino! Please tilt your head sideways to look at the picture below! hehe.

Cappuccino (AUD 3.50)

Gave their lemongrass tea a try as well.. and thank goodness, it was not served with a satchet. It's fresh.. plus points for manchester press!

Juice of the day, no idea what's the mixture, but boy, does it taste good. Anything sweet is lovely right!

Main dishes cost approximately AUD 12 -13.00, very worth it, since the serving size is HUGE! Quite a cosy place.. seating arrangements can be quite tight when is awfully busy! For my friends and I, six of us squeezed on a square table (meant to sit four), but it didn't matter to us, more close knit right?

Verdict: Great place for breakfast. However, for those who prefer a variety of selections for breakfast, you might not find it here. However, all the bagels tasted good! Coffee was great obviously! Value for money indeed.
